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

and remedies of the holder thereof shall be

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, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law. 


    (e)  No Bankrupt Obligors.  None of the Receivables shall be due, to the best knowledge of the Seller,
from any Obligor who is presently the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or is bankrupt or is insolvent. 


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


    (g)  Employee Obligors.  None of the Receivables shall be due from any employee of the Seller, TMCC or

number of Scheduled Payments has been increased or that the related Amount Financed has been increased or that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the
Seller herein with respect thereto. 


    (l)  No Defenses.  No facts shall be known to the Seller which would give rise to any right of

Vehicle granted by the related Receivable, which Liens shall not have been released or satisfied as of the Closing Date. 


    (n)  No Default; No Repossession.  Except for payment defaults that, as of the Cutoff Date, have been
continuing for a period of not more than 30 days, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have occurred as of the Cutoff Date; no
continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have arisen; the
Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing; and no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed without reinstatement as of the Cutoff Date. 


    (o)  Insurance.  The terms of each Receivable require the Obligor to obtain and maintain physical damage

normal servicing procedures, does not) obtain any such coverage on behalf of the Obligor.

taken as a whole, constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of
the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer,

voidable.

the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.01

receives notice of such breach (or, at the Seller's election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach), the
Seller shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase such Receivable and, if necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation of TMCC under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Seller to repurchase a Receivable shall not be conditioned on the performance by
TMCC of its obligation to repurchase such Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This repurchase obligation shall obtain for all representations and warranties of
the Seller contained in this Agreement whether or not the Seller has knowledge of the breach at the time of the breach or at the time the representations and warranties were made. In consideration of
the repurchase of any such Receivable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date, the Seller shall remit the Warranty Purchase Payment of such Receivable to the Collection

Indenture Trustee (by operation of the assignment of the Owner Trustee's rights hereunder pursuant to the Indenture) or any Securityholder with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties pursuant to this Agreement shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to this Section and to enforce TMCC's obligation to the Seller to repurchase such
Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the
occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. In connection with such repurchase, the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall take all steps
necessary to effect a transfer of such Receivable as set forth in Section 9.01(d). The Seller hereby indemnifies the Purchaser for any civil liabilities that arise under Texas Finance Code
§349.003 if the forms of contracts used are not the forms that are assumed to have been used in Texas in the opinion of Hudson Cook, LLP dated as of the Closing Date.

    SECTION
3.04  Instructions; Authority To Act.  The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper
instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. A certified copy of a bylaw or of a
resolution of the board of directors of the Owner Trustee or of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of such Trust Officer to act, and shall be considered
conclusive evidence of the authority of such Trust Officer to act until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. 


    SECTION
3.05  Custodian's Indemnification.  The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs
or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody
by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable to the Owner Trustee for any portion of
any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for any portion
of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee.

without further action by the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Noteholders or the Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee or, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee may
terminate the Servicer's appointment as custodian, with cause, at any time upon written notification to the Servicer, and without cause upon 30 days' prior written notification to the Servicer.

24





 


manner as the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or Noteholders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01. As soon as practicable after any termination of such
appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Relevant Trustee or the agent thereof at such place or places as the Relevant Trustee may reasonably designate.

administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Nothing in the foregoing or in any other section of this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Servicer from implementing
new programs, whether on an intermediate, pilot or permanent basis, or on a regional or nationwide basis, or from modifying its standards, policies and procedures as long as, in each case, the
Servicer does or would implement such programs or modify its standards, policies and procedures in respect of comparable assets serviced for itself in the ordinary course of business. 


    Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
such Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to communicate with Obligors in the ordinary course of its servicing of the Receivables and Financed Vehicles in its own
name. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Receivable or to commence or participate in a legal
proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable. If the Servicer shall commence or participate in a legal
proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an
interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Issuer hereby with respect to such Receivable for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as
a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or
other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that
it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to
enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder and/or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.

    SECTION 4.02  Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments.  The Servicer shall make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such customary collection procedures as it follows
with
respect to comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall be authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with the
customary servicing standards of the Servicer without the prior consent of the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or any Securityholder; provided,
however, that if, as a result of any change in the related APR or the Amount Financed, any increase in the total number of Scheduled Payments or any extension of payments such
that the Receivable will be outstanding later than the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date, the amount of any Scheduled Payment due in a subsequent Collection Period is reduced,
the Servicer shall be obligated to either repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08 or to make an Advance in respect of such Receivable in each subsequent Collection Period equal to
the amount by which such Scheduled Payment has been reduced. In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as
to release the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new automobile or light duty truck receivable, the Servicer shall
purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08, and the receivable created shall not be included as an asset of the Issuer. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables. 


    SECTION
4.03  Rebates on Full Prepayments.  In the event that the amount of a full Prepayment by an
Obligor under a Precomputed Receivable, after adjustment for the applicable Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made at the end
of the billing month under such Precomputed Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Precomputed Receivable is greater than the amount calculable under the actuarial
method or because the Servicer's customary servicing procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit such difference by deposit into the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.05. 


    SECTION
4.04  Realization upon Receivables.  On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use its best
efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed
or otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle (and shall specify such Receivables to the Relevant Trustee no later than the Determination Date
following the end of the Collection Period in which the Servicer shall have made such determination). The Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable
and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of automobile and light duty truck receivables, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse,
selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other actions to realize upon such a Receivable. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover its Liquidation Expenses with respect to
each Defaulted Receivable. All Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such action with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the
manner specified in Section 5.02. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in
connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the Liquidation Proceeds
of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. 


    SECTION
4.05  Physical Damage Insurance.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures, require that each Obligor shall have delivered proof that it has obtained physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle at the date of origination of the related 


26





 


Receivable, but shall not obtain any such coverage on behalf of any Obligor. The Servicer shall be required to monitor the maintenance by any Obligor of such insurance only to the same extent, if any,
that the Servicer monitors such maintenance by obligors with respect to retail automobile sales contracts that are held for the account of TMCC. 



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


    SECTION
4.07  Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants to the Issuer on
which the Issuer has relied in purchasing the Receivables and issuing the Certificate, and on which the Indenture Trustee will rely in undertaking the trusts set forth in the Indenture and issuing the
Notes. 



    (a)  Liens in Force.  Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Servicer shall not release in whole
or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable. 


    (b)  No Impairment.  The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Securityholders in the
Receivables. 


    (c)  No Amendments.  Except as provided in Section 4.02, the Servicer shall not amend or otherwise
modify any Receivable such that the total number of Scheduled Payments, the Amount Financed or the APR is altered, or extend the maturity of such Receivable beyond the Class A-4
Final Scheduled Payment Date. 


    (d)  Enforcement of Contractual Provisions.  The Servicer will not seek to enforce against any obligor
under any retail installment contract or interpose as a defense to any claim by any obligor the provision in any Texas contract cited in the legal opinion of Hudson Cook, LLP dated as of the Closing
Date, citing Texas Finance Code §348.412, in which the obligor agreed not to assert against a subsequent holder or assignee of the contract any claims or defenses the obligor may have
against the seller or manufacturer of the vehicle. 




    SECTION
4.08  Remedies.  The Servicer shall inform the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee promptly, in
writing, upon the actual knowledge of one of its officers of, and the Owner Trustee shall inform the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the actual knowledge of one of its
Trust Officers of, any breach pursuant to Section 4.06 or 4.07 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer in a Receivable, or if an extension, rescheduling or
modification of a Receivable is made by the Servicer as described in Section 4.02 and the Servicer does not elect to make Advances to cover resulting reductions in interest accruals as provided
in Section 4.02, the party discovering such event shall give prompt written notice to the others. As of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it
discovers or receives notice of such event (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such
breach), the Servicer shall, unless such event shall have been cured in all material respects or such modification has been rescinded or the Servicer has elected to and does make all required
Advances, purchase from the Issuer such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment 


27





 


Date the Servicer shall remit the Administrative Purchase Payment to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.05, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative
Amount. Upon such deposit of the Administrative Purchase Payment, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances
made in respect of such Receivable. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, the sole remedy of the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Securityholders against the
Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.06 or 4.07 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section. The Owner Trustee shall
have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. In connection with such repurchase, the
Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall take all steps necessary to effect a transfer of such Receivable to the Servicer as set forth in Section 9.01(d). The Servicer hereby indemnifies the
Purchaser for any civil liabilities that arise for breach of the covenant set forth in Section 4.07(d). 


    SECTION
4.09  Servicing Fee and Expenses.  As compensation for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date, out of Available Collections, the Total Servicing Fee. The Basic Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period shall be
calculated based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including fees and disbursements of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrator and the independent
accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its preparation of reports hereunder and
all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Certificateholder). 



    SECTION
4.10  Servicer's Certificate.  On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Owner Trustee, each Paying Agent, the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery), the Indenture Trustee and the
Seller, with a copy to each Rating Agency, a Servicer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, containing the information necessary to make the payments to be made on the
related Payment Date and the information necessary for the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to send statements to the Securityholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement or Indenture, as the case
may be. The Servicer shall also specify therein the identity of any Receivable that the Servicer or the Seller became obligated to repurchase or that the Servicer has determined to be a Defaulted
Receivable during the related Collection Period. Receivables purchased or to be purchased by the Servicer or the Seller and Receivables that the Servicer has determined during such Collection Period
to be Defaulted Receivables and with respect to which payment of the Administrative Purchase Payment or Warranty Purchase Payment has been provided from whatever source as of last day of such
Collection Period shall be identified by the related Obligor's account number (as specified in the Schedule of Receivables). 


    SECTION
4.11  Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.  (a) Within 120 days
after March 31 of each calendar year (commencing with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002), the Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Owner Trustee, the Swap
Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery) and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the prior fiscal year (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate) has been made under the supervision of the officer executing such Officer's
Certificate with a view to determining whether during such period the Servicer has performed and observed all of its obligations under this Agreement, and either (i) stating that, to the best
of his or her knowledge, no default by the Servicer under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) if such a default has occurred and is continuing, specifying such default and
the nature and status thereof. 


28





 


    (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap
Counterparty at the time of delivery) and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an
Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01(a) or (b). 



    SECTION
4.12  Annual Accountants' Report.  Within 120 days after March 31 of each fiscal
year for the Servicer (commencing with the year ended March 31, 2002), the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a report prepared by the Independent Accountants
of the Servicer
concerning their review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period ended March 31 (or other applicable period in the case of the first such report or
letter) to the effect that such accountants have reviewed certain records and documents relating to the servicing of the Receivables under this Agreement (using procedures specified in such report or
letter) and as a result of such review, and in connection with such procedures, they are reporting such exceptions, if any, as shall be set forth therein. Such report or letter shall also indicate
that the firm is independent with respect to the Seller and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 


    In
the event such Independent Accountants require the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Owner Trustee
or Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction
of the Servicer, and the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee need make no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity
or correctness of such procedures. 


    SECTION
4.13  Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables.  The Servicer shall
provide to the Swap Counterparty, the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables as provided in Section 3.03(b). The Servicer will
provide such access to any Securityholder only in such cases where the Certificateholder or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. In each
case, such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall
derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. 


    SECTION
4.14  Appointment of Subservicer.  The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform
all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder if each Rating Agency has received reasonable advance notice of the Servicer's intention to do so and has not notified the Servicer that
such an appointment would or might result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of a rating then assigned by such rating Agency to any Class of Notes; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Certificateholder and the
Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such
subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be
as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders
shall have any responsibility therefor. 


29





 


    SECTION 4.15  Amendments to Schedule of Receivables.  If the Servicer, during a Collection Period,
assigns to a Receivable an account number that differs from the original account number identifying such Receivable on the Schedule of Receivables, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, on or before the Payment Date relating to such Collection Period, an amendment to the Schedule of Receivables reporting the newly assigned account number, together
with the old account number of each such Receivable. The first such delivery of amendments to the Schedule of Receivables shall include monthly amendments reporting account numbers appearing on the
Schedule of Receivables with the new account numbers assigned to such Receivables during any prior Collection Period. 


    SECTION
4.16  Reports to Securityholders and Rating Agencies.  The Owner Trustee shall send a copy of
each Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.11 and each report of independent accountants delivered pursuant to Section 4.12 to the Rating Agencies within five days of its
receipt thereof from the Servicer or accountants. A copy of any such Officer's Certificate or accountants report may be obtained by any Certificateholder, Noteholder or Note Owner by a request in
writing to the Owner Trustee addressed as set forth in Section 10.03 hereof. Upon the telephone request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will promptly furnish the Owner Trustee a
list of Noteholders as of the date specified by the Owner Trustee.

    SECTION
5.01  Establishment of Collection Account and Payahead Account.  



    (a) The
Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account and Payahead Account in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each such account shall be an account initially established with the Indenture Trustee and maintained
with the Indenture Trustee so long as (i) the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee are rated "P-1" or better by
Moody's, or if not so rated by Moody's then otherwise approved by Moody's, and "A-1+" or better by Standard & Poor's if rated by Standard & Poor's, or if not so rated by
Standard & Poor's then otherwise approved by Standard & Poor's, in each case at the time of any deposit therein, or (ii) such account is a segregated trust account located in the
corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein (other than interest or investment earnings thereon) are held in trust for
the benefit of the Securityholders, and the Indenture Trustee has a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Moody's is a Rating Agency) of at least "A1" (or such lower rating as
Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia
or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Indenture Trustee no longer
meets either of the foregoing requirements, then the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Collection Account and Payahead Account to be moved to a bank or
trust company that satisfies either of such requirements. 


    (b) For
so long as the depository institution or trust company then maintaining the Collection Account and Payahead Account meets the requirements of
Section 5.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii), all amounts held in these accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the
Servicer, in Eligible Investments; otherwise such amounts shall be maintained in cash. Earnings on investment of funds in these accounts (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the
Servicer on each Payment Date as servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related account. 


30





 


    (c) For so long as U.S. Bank National Association or U.S. Bank Trust National Association is the Relevant Trustee, the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be
maintained with U.S. Bank National Association as described in clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 5.01(a). In the event that the long-term debt rating of the
Relevant Trustee does not satisfy clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 5.01(a), the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Relevant Trustee as necessary, cause the
Collection Account and the Payahead Account to be moved to an institution or an account otherwise satisfying the requirements of Section 5.01(a). 


    (d) Subject
to the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish and maintain as the Collection Account an Eligible
Deposit Account in the name of and under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholder. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee will transfer, or cause to be transferred, to such Collection Account all funds or investments on deposit in the
Collection Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and all of the proceeds thereof, and will transfer all of its right, title and interest in the
Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Certificateholder, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Swap Counterparty, the Noteholders, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note and Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the
Collection Account on the Payment Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full, the Revolving Liquidity Note has been paid in full and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement has been
terminated and all Swap Payments Outgoing and all Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Counterparty have been paid (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the
lien of the Indenture) to the Collection Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all
of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Swap Counterparty, the holder
of the Revolving Liquidity Note or the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with
respect to amounts held for payment to the Swap Counterparty, the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note or Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Payment Date. 



    (e) With
respect to the Collection Account and all property held therein, the Owner Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class, the Revolving Liquidity Note or the Interest Rate Swap Agreement remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer), and that such account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit
of the Swap Counterparty, the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note and the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as the case may be, as set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the right of the
Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06, the Payahead Account and all funds held therein
shall be the property of the Servicer and not the property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, Owner Trustee, Seller and Indenture Trustee will treat the Payahead
Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Servicer for federal income tax and all other purposes. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall
have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the
Collection Account and the Payahead Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or
the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. 


31





 


    SECTION 5.02  Collections.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables (other than, in the case of Precomputed Receivables, payments
constituting Payments Ahead) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds within two Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are
satisfied, the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing daily basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without segregation
from its other funds, until the Business Day before each Payment Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the Collection Account
in immediately available funds. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be
satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all future
collections on or in respect of the Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after receipt
thereof. 


    (b) Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit all Payments Ahead in the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt
thereof, which Payments Ahead shall be transferred to the Payahead Account pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are
satisfied, the Servicer will not be required to deposit Payments Ahead in the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof but shall be entitled to retain such Payments Ahead,
without segregation from its other funds, until such time as the Servicer shall be required to remit Applied Payments Ahead to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(i). Commencing
with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two
Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are not satisfied, all Payments Ahead then held by the
Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Payahead Account and all future Payments Ahead shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt
thereof. 


    (c) The
Servicer shall give the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice of the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition (and any
subsequent curing of a failed Monthly Remittance Condition) as soon as practical after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition, the Servicer may utilize
an alternative collection or Payment Ahead remittance schedule (which may be the remittance schedule previously utilized prior to the failure of such Monthly Remittance Condition), if the Servicer
provides to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such alternative remittance schedule will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal
of the rating then assigned to any Class of Notes. 


    SECTION
5.03  Application of Collections.  As of the Business Day immediately preceding the related
Payment Date, all collections for the related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows: 


    (a) With
respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor which are not
Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to reimburse the Servicer for Outstanding Advances made with respect to such Receivable (each such payment, an "Overdue Payment"). Next, the amount
of any payment in excess of Supplemental Servicing Fees and Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment with respect to such Receivable. If the
amount of such payment remaining after the applications described in the two preceding sentences (i) equals (together with any Deferred Prepayment) the unpaid principal balance of such
Receivable, it shall be applied to prepay 


32





 


the principal balance of such Receivable, or (ii) is less than the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable, it shall constitute an Excess Payment with respect to such Receivable. 


    (b) With
respect to each Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same manner, except
that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable. A Warranty Purchase Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment
with respect to any Receivable shall be applied, first, to reduce Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable and then to the Scheduled Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments
by the Obligor shall be insufficient, and then to prepay the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable in full. 


    SECTION
5.04  Advances; Swap Payments.  


    (a) As
of the close of business on the last day of each Collection Period, if the payments by or on behalf of the Obligor on a Precomputed Receivable (other than an
Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under Section 5.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of
any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect to such Precomputed Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of
the shortfall, and such Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to such shortfall
(each, a "Precomputed Advance") in the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. In addition, as of the last day of a Collection Period, if the payments
during such Collection Period by or on behalf of the Obligor on or in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under
Section 5.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then an
amount equal to the product of the principal balance of such Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its Annual Percentage Rate minus the amount
of interest actually received on such Receivable during the Collection Period (each, a "Simple Interest Advance") shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Payment Date. If such a calculation in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable results in a negative number, an amount equal to such negative amount shall be paid to
the Servicer in reimbursement of any outstanding Simple Interest Advances made with respect to such Receivable. In addition, in the event that a Simple Interest Receivable becomes a Liquidated
Receivable, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but not including interest for the current Collection Period) shall, up to the amount of any outstanding Simple Interest Advances made
with respect to such Receivable, be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of such outstanding Simple Interest Advances. No Advances will be made with respect
to the Principal Balance of Simple Interest Receivables. The Servicer shall not be required to make an Advance (other than a Simple Interest Advance in respect of an interest shortfall arising from
the Prepayment of a Simple Interest Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Advance is unlikely to be recovered from subsequent payments made by
or on behalf of the related Obligor, Liquidation Proceeds, by the Administrative Purchase Payment or by the Warranty Purchase Payment with respect to such Receivable or otherwise. 



    (b) The
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to
such Receivable: (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Liquidation Proceeds and (iii) the Warranty Purchase Payment;  provided, however, that in the
case of Advances made pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement only from amounts
received in respect of such Receivable that are in excess of the amount of the Scheduled Payment in the related Collection Period. 


33





 


    (c) To the extent that the Servicer has determined that any Outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer may, in the relevant Servicer's Certificate,
set forth the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance, and on the related Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer from Actual Payments on deposit in the Collection
Account an amount equal to the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer's determination of Available Collections for any Collection Period shall take into account the amount of
Nonrecoverable Advances specified in any such Officer's Certificate. 


    (d) For
so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, in lieu of causing the Servicer first to deposit and then the Relevant Trustee to remit to the
Servicer the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) in Section 5.04(b) reimbursable in respect on Outstanding Advances, or the amounts described in Section 5.04(c)
applicable in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account. 


    (e) In
addition, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied and TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is both the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty, the
Servicer may (i) deduct any Swap Payments Outgoing and Swap Termination Payments owed by the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by
the Servicer and (ii) add any Swap Payments Incoming and Swap Termination Payments owed by the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by
the Servicer, and any such payments will be deemed to satisfy the Swap Counterparty's or the Issuer's (as applicable) payment obligations to the Issuer and the Swap Counterparty, respectively, under
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. 


    (f)  In
addition, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied and TMCC or any Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and TMCC is the holder of the
Revolving Liquidity Note, the Servicer may (i) deduct any amounts payable to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to the extent amounts would be available therefor pursuant to Sections
5.06(c)(i)(E) or (F) or Section 5.06(d)(iv) or (v) from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer and (ii) add any amounts required
to be drawn on the Revolving Liquidity Note by the Issuer to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer, and any such payments will be deemed to satisfy the obligations
of the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to fund such draws by the Issuer pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note and Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. 


    SECTION
5.05  Additional Deposits.  (a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the
Collection Account: (i) the Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 3.02, (ii) the Servicer shall

by the Servicer or Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Servicer from the Payahead Account for application with respect to such Collection Period, and (D) all Swap Payments Incoming and
Swap Termination Payments received from the Swap Counterparty; and (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall deposit the amounts described in Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 drawn on the Revolving
Liquidity Note
or withdrawn from the Reserve Account into the Collection Account or Principal Distribution Account, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08. 


    (b) All
deposits required to be made pursuant to this Section by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall
be made in immediately available funds, no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. At the direction of the Servicer, the
Relevant Trustee shall invest such amounts 


34





 


in Eligible Investments maturing not later than 3:00 P.M. New York City Time, on the related Payment Date. 


    SECTION
5.06  Payments and Distributions.  


    (a) On

Section 5.04(e). 


    (b) On
each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate (i) the Available Collections and the amounts to be paid to Noteholders of each Class and the

or 5.06(d), as the case may be, (ii) the Swap Payments Outgoing, the Swap Payments Incoming, and any Swap Termination Payments, (iii) the amount, if any, to be drawn under the Revolving
Liquidity Note or withdrawn from the Reserve Account and (iv) all other distributions, deposits and withdrawals to be made on the related Payment Date. 


    (c) Subject
to Section 5.06(d), on each Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall make the following payments and distributions from the Collection Account in the

necessary to cause the balance of funds therein to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance; 


    (E) to
the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any unreimbursed draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note
Agreement (to the extent such amount has not been netted by the Servicer from deposits into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04(f)); 


    (F) to
the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on any draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the

    (G) any
remaining amounts will be distributed to the Certificateholder. 




    (ii) from
the amounts deposited into the Principal Distribution Account from the allocations of principal described in clause (i)(C) above, the Issuer will pay
principal of the Securities in the following priority: 



    (A) to
the Holders of Class A-1 Notes, until the total amount paid to such Holders in respect of principal from the Closing Date is equal to the

    (d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.06(c), after an Event of Default occurs that results in the acceleration of the Notes and unless and until such
acceleration has been rescinded, on each Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall make the following payments and distributions from the Collection Account in the following order of priority and in
the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Payment Date; provided, however, that such payments and distributions shall be made only

    (i)  to
the Servicer, the Total Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Total Servicing Fees from one or more prior Collection Periods);

36





 


the total amount paid to such Holders in respect of principal from the Closing Date is equal to the Class A-1 Initial Principal Balance, Class A-2 Initial
Principal Balance, the Class A-3 Initial Principal Balance, and the Class A-4 Initial Principal Balance, respectively; 



    (iv) to

    (vi) any
remaining funds to the Certificateholder. 




    (e) For
purposes of determining whether an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Indenture has occurred, the amount of principal required to be
paid to the Holders of any Class of Notes on any Payment Date is the amount available to be paid thereto pursuant to Sections 5.06(c)(i)(C) or 5.06(d)(iii); provided however that (i) the
Class A-1 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-1
Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-1 Initial Principal Balance together with all
interest accrued thereon through such date; (ii) the Class A-2 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment
Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-2 Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the
Class A-2 Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date, (iii) the Class A-3 Notes are required to be paid in full

Class A-4 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-4
Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-4 Initial Principal Balance together with all
interest accrued thereon through such date. 


    (f)  Except
with respect to the final payment upon retirement of a Note or Certificate, the Servicer shall on each Payment Date instruct the Relevant Trustee to pay or
distribute to each Securityholder of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to such Securityholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register, or herein (in the case of
the Certificate) (or, if DTC, its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to other arrangements), the amount to be paid or
distributed to such Securityholder pursuant to such Holder's Note or Certificate. With respect to the final payment upon retirement of a Note or of the Certificate, the Servicer shall on the relevant
final Payment Date instruct the Relevant Trustee to pay or distribute the amounts due thereon only upon delivery for cancellation of the certificate representing such Note or Certificate in accordance
with the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. 


    SECTION
5.07  Reserve Account.  


    (a) The
Seller will, pursuant to the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Indenture, establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee a segregated trust
account (the "Reserve Account") which will include any money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(i)(D) and
this Section. Under the circumstances specified in Section 5.08(b), the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note will be obligated to fund a draw of the entire amount available to be drawn
thereunder, which amounts will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written 


37





 


direction of the Servicer to fund certain shortfalls as described in Section 5.08 and be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve
Account Balance. On any Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance (which may be the case whether or not any of the
circumstances specified in Section 5.08 has occurred and is continuing), the Indenture Trustee will, as directed in writing by the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.06(c)(i)(D),
deposit into the Reserve Account Available Collections until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each Payment Date, to the extent that Available Collections
are insufficient to fully fund the payments and distributions described in clauses (i)(A) through (C) of Section 5.06(c) or in clauses (i) through (iii) of
Section 5.06(d), the Indenture Trustee will withdraw amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Account (excluding net investment income on Eligible Investments which amounts are payable to the
Seller therefrom), up to the amounts of any such deficiencies, and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account for application pursuant to such clauses. Also on each Payment Date, as directed in
writing by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will apply any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance first to repay any unreimbursed
draws on the Revolving Liquidity Note and any interest accrued thereon (in that order), and then will release to the Seller any remaining amounts in excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance.
Upon the termination of the trusts established under the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, as directed in writing by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will repay any unreimbursed draws on the
Revolving Liquidity Note and any interest accrued thereon (in that order) and will release to the Seller any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account. Upon any such distribution to the
Seller, the Issuer, Owner Trustee, Certificateholder, Indenture Trustee, holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note and Noteholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts, except to
the extent that funds may be drawn again pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. 


    (b) Any
amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments. Earnings on
investment of funds in the Reserve Account shall be paid to the Seller on each Payment Date, and losses and any investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. The Indenture
Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection of investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of
losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions. 


    (c) Subject
to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in
Section 5.06, the Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer,
Owner Trustee, Seller and Indenture Trustee will treat the Reserve Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Seller for federal income tax and all
other purposes. 


    (d) The
Seller will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in any funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Reserve
Account and the proceeds thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of funds in
the Reserve Account and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder. If for any reason the Reserve Account is no
longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly cause the Reserve Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the Reserve Account becomes an
Eligible Deposit Account. 


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


38





 


    SECTION 5.08  Revolving Liquidity Note.  


    (a) Pursuant
to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Seller will issue a Revolving Liquidity Note, with a maximum draw amount of $7,500,000, to be initially held
by TMCC. On the Business Day preceding each Payment Date with respect to which Available Collections are insufficient to fund any payment to be made to the Noteholders pursuant to
Section 5.06(c)(i) (B) or (C) or 5.06(d) (ii) or (iii), the Relevant Trustee will be entitled to make draw requests (to the maximum draw amount) in the amount of any
such shortfalls that are not funded from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and that are therefore to be funded by the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note. Amounts so funded by the Holder of
the Revolving Liquidity Note will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer to fund such shortfalls in the order of priority of payments specified in
Section 5.06. 


    (b) In
addition, if the Servicer's short-term unsecured debt rating falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case,
such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P) or if the Servicer fails to fund any amount drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note, then the Relevant Trustee shall demand payment of the
entire undrawn amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note. Amounts so funded by TMCC will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer, first, to fund any
shortfalls described in Section 5.08(a) in the order of priority of payments specified in Section 5.06, and then shall be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount on deposit
therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. From and after the occurrence of any event described in this Section 5.08(b), the Reserve Account must be maintained as detailed in
Section 5.7. 


    SECTION
5.09  Statements to Certificateholder, Noteholders, and Swap Counterparty.  


    (a) On
each Payment Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies and each Paying Agent) for the Indenture Trustee to
forward to each Noteholder of record as of the most recent Record Date and to the Owner Trustee (with a copy to each Paying Agent) for the Owner Trustee to forward to each Certificateholder of record
as of the most recent Record Date a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, to the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at
the time of delivery) and to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note at the time of delivery), setting forth at
least the following information as to the Notes and the Certificate to the extent applicable: 



    (i)  the

such Payment Date; 


    (vi) the
amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with respect to the related Collection Period; 


    (vii)     the

change in such amounts from the preceding Payment Date; 



39





 


    (viii)    the aggregate amount of Payments Ahead on deposit in the Payahead Account or held by the Servicer with respect to the related Receivables and
the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Payment Date; 


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


    (x) the
amount of draws made under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement; 


    (xi) the
balance of any Reserve Account on such Payment Date and the Specified Reserve Account Amount on such Payment Date, after giving effect to changes thereto on
such Payment Date; and 


    (xii)     the
Class A-3 Notional Balance, the Class A-3 Rate, the Swap Payments Incoming, the Swap Payments Outgoing
and the Swap Termination Payment. 




    SECTION
5.10  Net Deposits.  As an administrative convenience, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may make any remittances pursuant to this Article net of amounts to be distributed by the applicable recipient to such remitting party. Nonetheless, each such party
shall account to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder for all of the above described remittances, payments and distributions as if all deposits,
payments, distributions and transfers were made individually. 


 
 

ARTICLE VI

    SECTION
6.01  Representations of Seller.  The Seller makes the following representations on which the

to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement. 


    (a) The
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer from and against any taxes that may at
any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to, as of the date hereof, the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Notes and the Certificates,
including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and
as of the date of, the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Certificate or any of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or

comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Seller shall have given
10 days' written notice to each Rating Agency of its intent or expectation to enter such transaction and neither Rating Agency shall have notified the Seller, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture

or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of
the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (a),

    SECTION
6.06  Seller May Own Certificate or Notes.  The Seller will own the Certificate, and the Seller

deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary corporate action.

Servicer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by
general equity principles. 


    (e) No Violation.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default
under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Servicer or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement), nor violate any law or, to the
best of the Servicer's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental

Trust Agreement contained, in the case of the Owner Trustee, and in the Indenture contained, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or
liability: (i) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or, in the case of the

is imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement, including those that may be incurred by any such indemnified party as a result of any act or omission by the Servicer in connection with its
maintenance and custody of the Receivables Files. 


    (d) Promptly
after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02 or Section 4.08 (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement of any
action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the party providing indemnification under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 (an "Indemnifying Party"), notify
such Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of
the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion
of counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified
Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The
obligations set forth in this Section 7.02 and Section 4.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the

to or 


44

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

(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

under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement;  provided,
however, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 7.01 shall have been breached (except that the representations regarding the due organization and valid existence of the successor may be deemed to reference jurisdictions other than
California), and no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Servicer shall

successor to the Servicer shall become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement and (v) the Servicer shall have delivered to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments
thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables and reciting the
details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing

(b) or (c) above. 


    SECTION

directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder,
except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer
may rely 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 


45





 


Trustee) undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to the Basic Documents and the interests of
the Certificateholder under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs for such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall

reimbursed therefor solely from Available Collections.

longer be permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of TMCC shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency
at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the
Indenture Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have (i) assumed the responsibilities and obligations of TMCC in accordance with Section 8.02 and (ii) become the Administrator
under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement. 


 
 

ARTICLE VIII
  
    DEFAULT    
  


    SECTION
8.01  Servicer Default.  Each of the following events is a "Servicer Default": 



    (a) any
failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) to deliver to the Relevant Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account, Payahead
Account or Reserve Fund any required payment or to direct the Relevant Trustee to make any required payment or distribution therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business
Days after discovery of the failure by an officer of the Servicer or written notice of such failure is received (i) by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) from the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the applicable Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing
not less than 25% of the Class A Notes, acting as a single
Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates (provided that such event will not be a Servicer
Default if (A) such failure or delay is caused by an event of force majeure, (B) does not continue for more than 10 Business Days, (C) during such period the Servicer uses all
commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Agreement and (D) the Servicer provides to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, Seller and Securityholders prompt notice
of such failure or delay that includes a description of the Servicer's efforts to remedy such failure or delay); 


    (b) failure
by the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer
or the Seller (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement, which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholder or Noteholders and shall continue unremedied for a
period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure is received (i) by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) from the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or (ii) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee by the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class A Notes, acting together as a single Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates;
or 


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


46





 


    At any time when a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes acting as a single Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially
owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all
the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof and the rights set forth in Section 7.04 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. By the same
required vote, the Noteholders specified in the prior sentence may waive any such Servicer Default (other than a default in the making of any required deposits or payments from or to the Collection
Account, Reserve Account or Payahead Account) for a specified period or permanently. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto. 



    SECTION
8.02  Appointment of Successor.  


    (a) Upon
the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer's resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such
date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the
predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's termination hereunder, the
Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set
forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time
when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or
light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to offer such successor
servicer compensation up to, but not in excess of, the Total Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation specified in this Agreement as payable to the initial Servicer. Upon such appointment, the
Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the
Successor Servicer and the Issuer. 


    (b) Upon
appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Servicer) shall (i) be the successor in all respects to the
predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the
Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in
accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement. 


    (c) On
or after the receipt by the Servicer of written notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificate or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer
as may be appointed under this Section 8.02 


47





 


and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor
Servicer and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been
deposited by the predecessor Servicer, in the Collection Account or Payahead Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and all Payments Ahead that shall at that time be held by
the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this
Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. In the
event that the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and a subsequent transfer of such rights and obligations is effected pursuant to Section 8.01
or this Section 8.02 hereof, the original Servicer hereunder shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies. 


    SECTION
8.03  Repayment of Advances; Compensation Payable.  If the Servicer shall resign or be
terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.04 with respect to all Advances previously made thereby in the
manner specified in such Sections, and shall continue to be entitled to all accrued and unpaid compensation payable to the Servicer through the date of such termination as specified in
Section 4.09 of this Agreement. 


    SECTION
8.04  Notification.  Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer
pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty and the Rating Agencies.

    (a) On
each Payment Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than the Optional Purchase Percentage (expressed as a
seven-digit decimal figure) multiplied by the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate (whether or
not such assets then comprise all or a portion of the Trust Estate) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price. To exercise such option, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall
notify the Swap Counterparty, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to do so in writing, no later than the tenth day of the month preceding the month in which the Payment Date
as of which such purchase is to be effected and shall, on or before the Payment Date on which such purchase is to occur, deposit pursuant to
Section 5.05 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust Estate and the Owner Trust Estate. Amounts so
deposited will be paid and distributed as set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement. Upon such deposit of the amount necessary to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate, the Servicer
shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables. 


48





 


    (b) Notice of any such purchase of the Owner Trust Estate shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder and the Swap Counterparty
as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice thereof from the Servicer. 


    (c) Following
the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes and of the Revolving Liquidity Note,
the Certificateholder will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders under this Agreement other than Section 5.06 and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations
of, the Indenture Trustee provided for in this Agreement. 


    (d) Upon
the repurchase of any Receivable by the Seller or the Servicer, pursuant to any provision hereof (including Sections 3.02, 4.08 and 9.01(a)), the Owner Trustee
on behalf of the Issuer and the Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and
otherwise convey to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies
due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof and the other property conveyed to the Issuer hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable, and all
security and any documents relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security; and the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such Receivable,
and all such related security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Holder of the
Revolving Liquidity Note or the Noteholders with respect thereto. The Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other
actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. If in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Seller or Servicer may not enforce a repurchased Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the
Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders shall, at the written direction and expense of the Seller or Servicer, as the
case may be, take such reasonable steps as the Seller or Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name or names of the Issuer, Certificateholder or
Noteholders.

for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholder; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture

Indenture Trustee and/or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, that such amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any
Class of Notes; provided that no such amendment may increase or reduce in any manner or accelerate or delay the timing of collections on the Receivables or payments required to be made to Holders of
any Class of Notes or of the Certificate without the consent of all Holders of each affected Class or the Certificateholder, if affected. 



    This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the consent of (A) if the interests
of Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders are affected, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the outstanding Principal Balance of each affected Class of Notes, acting as a single Class

such amendment may (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the related Receivables or payments required to be made
to Holders of any Class of Notes, the Certificateholder or the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note without the consent of all Holders of each affected Class of Notes, the Certificateholder or the

Liquidity Note required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of each Class of Notes, the Certificate or the Revolving Liquidity Note, as the case may be, affected
thereby. 


    Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Noteholder,
Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, the Swap Counterparty and/or the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note at the
time of delivery) and each of the Rating Agencies. 


    It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholder, Noteholders or holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note 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.
