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).


 


(i)     Origination.  Each Receivable was originated in the United States by a Dealer for the retail sale of the related Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, has been fully and properly executed or electronically authenticated by the parties thereto, has been purchased by TMCC from such Dealer under an existing agreement with TMCC and has been validly assigned by such Dealer to TMCC.


 


(ii)     Security Interest.  With respect to each Receivable, as of the Closing Date, TMCC has, or has started procedures that will result in TMCC having, a perfected, first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, which security interest was validly created and is assignable by the Seller to the Purchaser, and by the Purchaser to the Issuer.


 


(iii)    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.


 


(iv)    Prepayment.  Each Receivable allows for prepayment without penalty.


 


(v)     Compliance with Law.  Each Receivable complied in all material respects at the time it was originated with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder.


 


(vi)    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 obligation and realize on the related Financed Vehicle and represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation


 



9















 


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.

(x)     No Defenses.  To the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, no Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, nor has any such right been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.


 


(xi)     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.


 


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

(xiv)     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).


 


(xv)     Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, or pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the pledge of such Receivable under the Indenture are


 



10















 


unlawful, void or voidable.  The terms of each Receivable do not limit the right of the owner of such Receivable to sell such Receivable.

The Purchaser or the Seller, or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other party promptly, in writing, upon discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to this Section which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in any Receivable.


 


SECTION 2.04.     Repurchase of Receivables.  In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in any Receivable, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the discovery of the breach is made or notice is received, as the case may be. This repurchase obligation shall obtain for all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 2.03(a) of 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 purchase of any such Receivable, the Seller shall remit an amount equal to the Warranty Purchase Payment in respect of such Receivable to the Purchaser. Except as described below, the sole remedy of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) 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. Upon any such repurchase, the Purchaser shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section.  The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders with respect to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section.

(b)     Delivery of Payments.  The Seller agrees to deliver in kind upon receipt to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (if other than the Seller) all payments received by the Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Seller from and after the appointment of the Servicer as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Toyota Auto Receivables 2017-B Owner Trust.


 


(c)     Conveyance of Receivables.  The Seller covenants and agrees that it will not convey, assign, exchange, allow control over or otherwise transfer the Receivables (other than Receivables repurchased pursuant to Section 2.04) to any Person prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IV hereof.


 


(d)     No Impairment.  The Seller shall take no action, nor omit to take any action, which would impair the rights of the Purchaser in any Receivable, nor shall it, except as otherwise provided in or permitted by either this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


 


SECTION 5.01.     Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller, without the consent of any of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, 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.


 


This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, 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 principal 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.


 


No amendment otherwise permitted under this Section 5.02 (except as described in the last sentence of this paragraph) 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 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 Noteholders or the Certificateholders, for the purpose of conforming the provisions in this Agreement to the descriptions thereof contained in the prospectus, dated May 9, 2017, related to the offering of the Notes.


 



13















 


Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Seller shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee 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.  The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by the Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe.


 


SECTION 5.02.     Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Receivables.


 


(a)     The Seller, at its expense, shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Purchaser’s right, title and interest to the Receivables and other property conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Purchaser hereunder to all of the Receivables and such other property. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing.  The Purchaser shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this subsection.


 


(b)     Within 30 days after the Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507 of the UCC as in effect in the applicable state, the Seller shall give the Purchaser notice of any such change and shall execute and file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Purchaser’s security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof.


 


(c)     The Seller shall notify the Purchaser within 30 days after any relocation of its principal executive office or state of incorporation, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC as in effect in the applicable state 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 such financing statements or amendments.


 


(d)     The Seller shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables, the Seller’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 Purchaser (or its assignee) in such Receivables and that such Receivables are owned by the Purchaser (or its assignee).  Indication of these respective interests in a Receivable shall be deleted from or


 



14















 


modified on the Seller’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have become a Liquidated Receivable or been repurchased.


 


(e)     If at any time the Seller 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 Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts 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 Purchaser.


 


SECTION 5.03.     Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

SECTION 5.05.     Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions and terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 5.06.     Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by the Purchaser or the Seller except as contemplated by this Section 5.06, Section 5.14 of this Agreement, and by the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall assign all of its right, title and interest herein to the Issuer, which, in turn, will pledge its rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders as provided in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to which the Seller hereby expressly consents.  The Seller agrees to perform its obligations hereunder for the benefit of the Issuer and that the Indenture Trustee may enforce the provisions of this Agreement, exercise the rights of the Purchaser and enforce the obligations of the Seller hereunder without the consent of the Purchaser.


 


SECTION 5.07.     Further Assurances.  The Seller and the Purchaser agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the other party hereto or by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the


 



15















 


execution of any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements or releases relating to the Receivables for filing under the provisions of the UCC or other law of any applicable jurisdiction.


 


SECTION 5.08.     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Seller, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.


 


SECTION 5.09.     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


SECTION 5.10.    Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, each of which shall be considered to be a third-party beneficiary hereof.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.


 


SECTION 5.11.    Merger and Integration.  Except as specifically stated otherwise herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived or supplemented except as provided herein.


 


SECTION 5.12.    Headings.  The headings herein are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.


 


SECTION 5.13.    Indemnification.  The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, injury and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, and was imposed upon such Person through the willful misconduct or negligence of the Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Seller shall not indemnify any such Person if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute negligence or willful misconduct by the Purchaser.  In case any such action is brought against a party indemnified under this Section 5.13 and it notifies the Seller of the commencement thereof, the Seller 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 stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Seller), and the Seller will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other


 



16















 


expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.


 


SECTION 5.14.    Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Seller.


 


(a)     The Seller shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:


 


(i)     the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Seller is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as an entirety shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia, and, if the Seller is not the surviving entity, shall expressly assume, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Purchaser, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, the performance of every covenant and obligation of the Seller hereunder and shall benefit from all the rights granted to the Seller hereunder in all material respects; and


 


(ii)     The Seller shall have delivered to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental agreement comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

SCHEDULE I


 


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 Purchaser 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 in favor of the Purchaser, 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 Purchaser 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 the 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


 



Sch. I-1










 


 


contract that constitutes or evidences the Receivable and the system pursuant to which TMCC 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 to 30 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 Purchaser under this Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Purchaser to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing 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 the Seller, the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller, the Purchaser and the Issuer in connection with this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing 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 I 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 I, and shall not, without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach of any of such perfection representations, warranties or covenants.
