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.  Such representations and warranties speak as of the Cutoff Date and as of the Closing Date (unless, by its terms, a representation or warranty speaks specifically as of the Cutoff Date or the Closing Date, in which case, such representation or warranty speaks specifically as of such date only), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer, and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(c)            Simple Interest.  Each Receivable provides for scheduled monthly payments that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity (except for minimally different payments in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable) and provide for a finance charge or yield interest at its APR, in either case calculated based on the Simple Interest Method.

(f)            Binding Obligation.  Each Receivable is on a form contract containing customary and enforceable provisions that includes rights and remedies allowing the holder to enforce the



26















obligation and realize on the related Financed Vehicle and represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity and consumer protection laws, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.


(g)            No Government Obligors.  None of the Receivables is due from the United States or any state or local government, or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States or any state or local government.

(k)            No Payment Default.  Except for payment delinquencies that have been continuing for a period of not more than 29 days, no payment default under the terms of any Receivable exists as of the Cutoff Date.


(l)             No Repossession.  No Financed Vehicle has been repossessed without reinstatement as of the Cutoff Date.


(m)          Insurance.  The terms of each Receivable require the related Obligor to obtain and maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle in accordance with TMCC’s normal requirements.  No Financed Vehicle was subject to force-placed insurance.


(n)           Good Title.  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 (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents) and, immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Purchaser will have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents).


(o)           Lawful Assignment.

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.  In consideration of the repurchase of any such Receivable, on or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York time on 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.

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.

SECTION 3.05         Custodian’s Indemnification.  (a) 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 (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses, and including any such reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought by such indemnified parties) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred 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 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 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 gross negligence of the Owner 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, in each case to the extent such matters have been determined definitively by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final order or verdict not subject to appeal, and until such determination, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder.



29















 (b)            Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 3.05 (a “Custodian Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Custodian Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the party providing indemnification under this Section 3.05 (a “Custodian Indemnifying Party”), notify such Custodian Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof.  In case any such action is brought against any Custodian Indemnified Party under this Section 3.05 and it notifies the Custodian Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Custodian Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Custodian Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Custodian Indemnified Party stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Custodian Indemnifying Party), and the Custodian Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Custodian Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Custodian Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.  The obligations set forth in this Section 3.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, 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.

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 the 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, on behalf of the Issuer, 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 Practices of the Servicer without the prior consent of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Securityholder; provided, however, that if the amount of any Scheduled Payment due in a



31















subsequent Collection Period is reduced as a result of (x) any change in the related APR or the Amount Financed, (y) any increase in the total number of Scheduled Payments or (z) any extension of payments such that the Receivable will be outstanding later than the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date, then the Servicer shall be obligated (except to the extent any such extension, rebate or adjustment constitutes a Permitted Modification) to repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08; provided further, that the Servicer shall have no such obligation to repurchase a Receivable as a result of any such extension of payments under clause (z) above if it is required to grant such extension under law or pursuant to a court order.  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 constitutes a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new passenger car, minivan, light-duty truck or sport utility vehicle receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08 (except to the extent any such rescheduling, extension or modification constitutes a Permitted Modification), and the receivable created shall not be included as an asset of the Issuer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if a default, breach, violation, delinquency or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have occurred or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is imminent, the Servicer may (A) extend such Receivable for credit related reasons that would be acceptable to the Servicer with respect to comparable new or used passenger car, minivan, light-duty truck or sport utility vehicle receivables that it services for itself, but only if the final scheduled payment date of such Receivable as extended would not be later than the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date; or (B) reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Receivable in the event of a prepayment resulting from refunds of Insurance Policy premiums and service contracts and make similar adjustments in an Obligor’s payment terms to the extent required by law; (2) if at the end of the scheduled term of any Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of principal and interest, provided that the last such payment shall be due on or prior to the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date; and (3) the Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables.  Each such action that the Servicer is permitted to take in accordance with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a “Permitted Modification.”


In addition, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall modify the terms of any Receivable impacted by the Relief Act and the Servicer shall be obligated to purchase any such modified Receivable in accordance with the terms of Section 4.08.


SECTION 4.03         [Reserved].


SECTION 4.04         Realization upon Receivables.  On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, 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



32















Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle (and shall specify such Receivables to the Indenture 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 passenger car, minivan, light-duty truck and sport utility vehicle 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 Practices and only to the same extent, if any, that the Servicer so requires by obligors with respect to retail installment sales contracts that are held for the account of TMCC, require that each Obligor, upon the Servicer’s request, deliver 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.


SECTION 4.06         Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle.  The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to again perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.  In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, to grant to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer in such Financed Vehicle and agrees that the Servicer’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in this capacity as agent of the Issuer.


SECTION 4.07         Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants to the Issuer on which the Issuer has relied in purchasing the Receivables and issuing the 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 or to the extent required by law or court order, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable except (a) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency

(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 or to the extent required by law or court order, 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 last day of the Collection Period preceding the Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date.


SECTION 4.08         Remedies.

By the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such event, the Servicer shall, unless such event shall have been cured in all material respects or such modification has been rescinded, purchase from the Issuer such Receivable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, on or prior to 11:00am New York time on the related Payment Date, the Servicer shall remit the Administrative Purchase Payment to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.05.  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.

SECTION 5.01         Establishment of Collection Account.


(a)            The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders.  The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account initially established with the Indenture Trustee and maintained with the Indenture Trustee.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Collection Account maintained with the Indenture Trustee is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, then the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance, as necessary, use reasonable efforts to cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution within thirty days.



39















 (b)            For so long as the Collection Account is maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account, 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 Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Indenture Trustee, the Collection Account shall be maintained with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as an Eligible Deposit Account.  In the event that the long-term debt rating of the Indenture Trustee does not satisfy clause (a) of the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee, as necessary, use reasonable efforts to cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution or an account otherwise satisfying the requirements of clause (b) of the definition of Eligible Deposit Account (which may be an account with the Indenture Trustee) within thirty days.


(d)            The Indenture Trustee shall 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 (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to the Issuer 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, to the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to the 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 Issuer agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class 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 Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as set forth in the Indenture.  The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of the Notes or liquidation of the Trust Estate 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 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 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

Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Account.

54

If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.


For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of TMCC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.02.


SECTION 7.03         Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.  Any corporation (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 7.01 shall have been breached (except that the representations regarding the due organization and valid existence of the successor may be deemed to reference jurisdictions other than its jurisdiction of incorporation), 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 prior to the consummation of any such transaction 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

The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.


Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may (with the written consent of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee) undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to the Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholder under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

56















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 to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account or Reserve Account any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required payment or distribution therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) 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 from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) by the Servicer and the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, from the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class then outstanding, acting together as a single Class,


(b)            failure by the Servicer to duly observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights of the 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 from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) by the Servicer and the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee, from the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class then outstanding, acting together as a single Class; or


(c)            the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer;


provided, however, that (A) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (a) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrences, the five (5) Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (a) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days and (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (b) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrences, the 90 day grace period referred to in such clause (b) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days.


Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Administrator, and the Administrator shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.


At any time when a Servicer Default set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above 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 at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class of Notes acting together as a single Class, 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



57















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 or Reserve 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 60 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel.  In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Financed Receivables, 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 $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables similar to the Financed 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



58















 (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 thereafter received with respect to the Receivables.  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 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 prompt written notice thereof to the Administrator, and the Administrator shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.


SECTION 8.03         Compensation Payable.  If the Servicer shall resign or be terminated, the Servicer 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 Issuer shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders and the Administrator, and the Administrator shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.

 (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 multiplied by the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall have the option to purchase, as of the end of the immediately preceding Collection Period, the corpus 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 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.  Amounts so deposited will be paid and distributed as set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement.


(b)            Notice of any such purchase of the Trust Estate shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder as soon as practicable after receipt of notice thereof from the Servicer by a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee (in the case of each Certificateholder) and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of each Noteholder).


(c)            Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the 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 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.

(a)            This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and, if the interests of the Owner Trustee are affected, the Owner Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, that either (i) an Officer’s Certificate shall have been delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee certifying that such officer reasonably believes that such proposed amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment.


(b)            This Agreement may also be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and, if the interests of the Owner Trustee are affected, the Owner Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder for the purpose of changing the formula or percentage for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance, 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 pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof or changing the definition of Eligible Investment, in each case only if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment.


(c)            This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and, if the interests of the Owner Trustee are affected, the Owner Trustee and, if the interests of the Noteholders are materially and adversely affected, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, acting together as a single Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or Certificateholders under this Agreement.


(d)            No amendment otherwise permitted under this Section 10.01 (except as described in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(d)) may (x) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions required to be made for the benefit of any Noteholders or Certificateholders without the consent of all Noteholders and Certificateholders adversely affected thereby, or (y) reduce



61















the percentage of the Notes or Certificates which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Noteholders and Certificateholders adversely affected thereby; provided, that any amendment referred to in clause (x) or (y) above shall be deemed to not adversely affect any Noteholder if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment.  No amendment referred to in clause (x) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be permitted unless an Officer’s Certificate shall have been delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee certifying that such officer reasonably believes that such proposed amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder whose consent was not obtained.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement may also be amended by the parties hereto, without the consent of the Securityholders, for the purpose of conforming the provisions in this Agreement to the descriptions thereof contained in the prospectus, dated February 23, 2016, related to the offering of the Notes.


(e)            Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Issuer shall cause written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to be furnished to each Noteholder, Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.


(f)            It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholder or Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


(g)            Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement, and, if applicable, the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.02.  The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.  The reasonable fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in connection with any amendment or supplement to this Agreement shall be payable by the Servicer.


SECTION 10.02         Protection of Title to Trust.


(a)            The Seller shall execute and file or cause to be filed such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof.  The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file‐stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.


(b)            Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change (i) its location of organization under Section 9-307(e) of the UCC or (ii) its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9‐507 and 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at



62















least five (5) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.


(c)            Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall have an obligation to give the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement.

(d)            The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.


(e)            The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of  the Receivables, the Servicer’s electronic files which are maintained for the purpose of identifying retail installment sales contracts which have been transferred in connection with securitizations will show the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.  Indication of these respective interests in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have become a Liquidated Receivable or been repurchased.


(f)            If at any time the Seller or the Servicer (or any Subservicer appointed by the Servicer) shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive receivables to, any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.


(g)            Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee, within five (5) Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) then held as part of the Trust Estate, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer’s Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Trust Estate.


(h)            The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee:


(A)            promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, if required pursuant to Section 10.01, of each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing



63

(B)            within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Cutoff Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90‐day period, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

ARTICLE XI



 ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION


SECTION 11.01         Asset Representations Review.


(a)            Upon the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger with respect to any Collection Period, the Servicer will promptly send to TMCC, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder (and to each applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to Note Owners in accordance with the rules of such Clearing Agency) a notice describing (i) the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, and including reasonably detailed calculations thereof, and (ii) the rights of the Noteholders and Note Owners regarding an Asset Representations Review (including a description of the method by which Noteholders and Note Owners may contact the Indenture Trustee in order to request a Noteholder vote in respect of an Asset Representations Review).


(b)            If the Indenture Trustee notifies the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Indenture that sufficient Noteholders have voted within the required time to initiate an Asset Representations Review of all ARR Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, then the Servicer shall:


(i)             promptly notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee of the number of ARR Receivables;


(ii)            within sixty days after receipt by the Servicer of such notice from the Indenture Trustee, render reasonable assistance, including granting access to copies of any underlying documents and Receivable Files and all other relevant documents, to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the performance of a review of all ARR Receivables, pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, in order to verify compliance with the representations and warranties made to the Issuer by the Seller and the Servicer; and


(iii)            provide such other reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer as it requests in order to facilitate its Asset Representations Review of the ARR Receivables pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.


The Servicer may redact any materials provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in order to remove any personally identifiable customer information.  Except for the measure described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts not to change the meaning of such materials or their usefulness to the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with its review pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Asset Representations Review Agreement.







SECTION 11.02         Dispute Resolution.


(a)            If the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee requests (by written notice to TMCC or the Seller), or if any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner requests (by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, TMCC or the Seller) (any such party making a request, the “Requesting Party”), that a Receivable be repurchased due to an alleged breach of a representation and



67















warranty in Section 3.01 of this Agreement or Section 2.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of such request by TMCC or the Seller (which, if sent by a Noteholder or Verified Note Owner to the Indenture Trustee, will be forwarded to TMCC and the Seller), then the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or third-party binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.02.  Dispute resolution to resolve repurchase requests will be available regardless of whether Noteholders and Verified Note Owners voted to direct an Asset Representations Review or whether the Delinquency Trigger occurred.  The Seller will provide written direction to the Indenture Trustee instructing it to notify the Requesting Party of the date when the 180-day period ends without resolution by the appropriate party, which written direction will specify the identity of such Requesting Party and the date as of which such 180-day period shall have ended. The Requesting Party must provide notice of its intention to refer the matter to mediation, to refer the matter to arbitration, or to institute a legal proceeding to the Seller within 30 days after the delivery of such notice of the end of the 180-day period.  The Seller agrees to participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.


(b)            If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:


(i)            The mediation will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Mediation Procedures in effect on the date hereof.


(ii)            The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by JAMS.  Upon being supplied a list of at least 10 potential mediators by JAMS each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference JAMS will select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.


(iii)            The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within 30 Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days of the start of the mediation.


(iv)            The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.


(c)            If the Requesting Party selects binding arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:


(i)            The arbitration will be administered by the AAA pursuant its Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of this Agreement.


(ii)            The arbitral panel will consist of three members, (i) one to be appointed by the Requesting Party within five Business Days of providing notice to the Seller of its selection of arbitration, (ii) one to be appointed by the Seller within five Business Days of that



68















appointment and (iii) the third, who will preside over the panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five Business Days of the second appointment.  If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the stated time periods, then the appointments will be made by AAA pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.  In each such case, each arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience.


(iii)            Each arbitrator will be independent and will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect as of the date of this Agreement.  Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.   Any arbitrator may be removed by AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.


(iv)            After consulting with the parties, the arbitral panel will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 90 days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with then-prevailing New York law (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.


(v)            Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) four party witness depositions not to exceed five hours, and (B) one set of interrogations, document requests, and requests for admissions; provided that the arbitral panel will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitral panel determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.


(vi)            The arbitral panel will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way.  The arbitral panel will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them.  In its final determination, the arbitral panel will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitral panel, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitral panel in its reasonable discretion.  The determination in any binding arbitration of the arbitral panel will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination will be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.


(vii)            By selecting binding arbitration, the selecting party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.


(viii)            No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.



69















 (d)            The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:


(i)            Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York; and


(ii)            The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 11.02, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties' attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 11.02).  Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party's attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 11.02), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order.  If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

SCHEDULE B


PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Issuer as follows on the Closing Date:


1.            This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other Collateral in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.


2.            TMCC has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Receivables.


3.            The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “tangible chattel paper” and “electronic chattel paper”) within the meaning of the applicable UCC.


4.            The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Issuer hereunder.


5.            With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Seller.  With respect to Receivables that constitute electronic chattel paper, the Servicer has “control” of such electronic chattel paper within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is maintaining control of such electronic chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Seller.  No person other than the Servicer has “control” of any Receivable that is evidenced by electronic chattel paper.


6.            Either (1) (i) only one authoritative copy of each contract that constitutes or evidences the Receivable exists, and each such authoritative copy (y) is unique, identifiable, and unalterable (other than with the participation of TMCC, in the case of an addition or change of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision) and (z) has been communicated to and is maintained by the Servicer or a third party provider acting on behalf of TMCC, (ii) the authoritative copy of the related contract identifies only TMCC as the assignee thereof, (iii) each copy of the authoritative copy of the related contract and any copy of a copy are readily identifiable as copies that are not the authoritative copy and (iv) the Receivable has been established in a manner such that (a) all copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy of each contract that constitutes or evidences the Receivable must be made with the participation of TMCC, and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of each contract that constitute or evidence the Receivable must be readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision or (2) each contract that constitutes or evidences the Receivable and the system pursuant to which TMCC



SB-1















has acquired such contract reliably establishes TMCC as the person to whom the related chattel paper was assigned.


7.            In the case of a Receivable evidenced by an electronic record consisting of a copy or image stored in an electronic medium of the original contract that was signed by the related Obligor, the related contract was originated in the form of an original contract that constitutes “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC, such original contract was delivered to the Servicer and, in accordance with the Customary Servicing Practices of the Servicer, was or will be destroyed as soon as practicable after the expiration of 14 days after the conversion of such original contract to an electronic record by a scanning and imaging process.  After destruction of the original contract, the related Receivable will be evidenced only by “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.


8.            The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to the Issuer under this Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by TMCC to the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or (iv) that has been terminated.  The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.


9.            The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession or control (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) the record or records that constitute or evidence the Receivables.  The tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than TMCC, the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against TMCC, the Seller and the Issuer in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture, respectively, contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”


10.            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule B shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Basic Documents and the Notes have been finally and fully paid and performed.


11.            The Seller shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any material breach of the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule B, and shall not, without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach of any of such perfection representations, warranties or covenants.
