Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Federal Reserve Board Regulations B, M and Z, to the extent applicable, state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the

    (iv) Binding Obligation.  Each Receivable shall constitute the legal, valid and binding payment
obligation in writing of the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law. 


    (v) 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 insolvent. 


    (vi) 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. 


    (vii) Employee Obligors.  None of the Receivables shall be due from any employee of the Seller, the
Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates. 


    (viii)  Security Interest in Financed Vehicles.  Immediately prior to the sale,
assignment and transfer thereof pursuant hereto, each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as
secured party or all necessary and appropriate action with respect to such Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of the
Seller as secured party.

any Financed Vehicle have been released in whole or in part from the lien granted by the related Receivable. 


    (x) No Waivers.  No provision of a Receivable shall have been waived in such a manner that such
Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto. 


    (xi) No Amendments.  No Receivable shall have been amended or modified in such a manner that the total
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.

    (xii) No Defenses.  No facts shall be known to the Seller which would give rise to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or threatened, with respect to any Receivable. 



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


    (xiv) No Defaults; 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

Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing; and no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed without reinstatement as of the Cutoff Date. 


    (xv) Insurance.  The terms of each Receivable require the Obligor to obtain and maintain physical damage
insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle in accordance with the Seller's normal requirements. The terms of each Receivable allow, but do not require the Seller to (and the Seller, in accordance
with its current normal servicing procedures, does not) obtain any such coverage on behalf of the Obligor. 


    (xvi) Good Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein
contemplated, taken as a whole, constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser 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 Purchaser, and no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived, as provided in clause (x) above; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the
Seller had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and
marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been perfected under the UCC. 


    (xvii)  Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable shall have been originated in, or shall be
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the related certificates of title shall be
unlawful, void or voidable. 


    (xviii)  All Filings Made.  As of the Closing Date, all filings (including UCC filings)
necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, to perfect the sale of the receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser and to
give the Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables shall have been made. 


    (xix) One Original.  There shall be only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

    (xxi) Additional Representations and Warranties.  (A) Each Receivable shall have an original
number of Scheduled Payments of not less than 12 nor more than 72 and, as of the Cutoff Date, a remaining number of Scheduled Payments of not less than 5 nor more than 72; 




8





 



(ii) each Receivable provides for the payment of a finance charge based on an APR ranging from 5% to 13%; (iii) each Receivable shall have had an original principal balance of not less
than $1,076 and not more than $50,000 and, as of the Cutoff Date, an unpaid principal balance of not less than $250 nor more than $50,000; (iv) no Receivable was originated under a special
financing program; (v) no Receivable shall have a Scheduled Payment that is more than 30 days past due as of the Cutoff Date; (vi) no Financed Vehicle was subject to force-placed

    (b) Notice of Breach.  The representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall speak as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and any subsequent assignment or transfer pursuant to Article Two of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser, the Seller or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in writing, upon discovery of any breach of the Seller's
representations and warranties pursuant to this Section which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in any Receivable. 




    SECTION
2.04  Repurchase of Receivables.  In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in any Receivable, unless such breach shall have been cured in all
material respects, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the discovery of the breach is made or notice is
received, as the case may be (or, at the option of the Seller, the last day in the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery is made or such notice received).
This repurchase obligation shall obtain for all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement whether or not the Seller has knowledge of the breach
at the time of the breach or at the time the representations and warranties were made. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the Seller shall remit an amount equal to the Warranty
Purchase Payment in respect of such Receivable to the Purchaser, and the Seller shall be entitled to receive the Released Warranty Amount from (or on behalf of) the Purchaser. Except as described
below, the sole remedy of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties pursuant to this Agreement shall be to require the Seller to
repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to this Section. Upon any such repurchase, the Purchaser shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise
convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due
with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as
shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. The 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,
and for any civil liabilities that arise for breach of the covenant set forth in Section 2.04(e). 


    SECTION
2.05  Covenants of the Seller.  The Seller hereby covenants that: 



    (a) Security Interests.  Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign
or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, the Seller will
immediately notify the Purchaser of the existence of any Lien on any Receivable and, in the event 



9





 


that the interests of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in such Receivable are materially and adversely affected, such Receivable shall be repurchased from the Purchaser by the Seller in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 2.03(c), and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the Receivables, whether now existing or
hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller from
suffering to exist upon any of the Receivables, Liens for municipal or other local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the
validity of such taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto. 


    (b) Delivery of Payments.  The Seller agrees to deliver in kind upon receipt to the Servicer under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement (if other than the Seller) all payments received by the Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Seller from and after the
appointment of the Servicer as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Toyota Auto Receivables 2001-C Owner Trust. 


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


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


    (e) 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 against the manufacturer of the vehicle. 


    (f)  Delivery of Opinion of Counsel.  On the Closing Date, the Seller will obtain and deliver to the
Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all of the Receivables originated in the State of California are enforceable under California law and applicable federal laws, subject to customary
exceptions. 



 
 

ARTICLE III.
  
    PAYMENT OF RECEIVABLES PURCHASE PRICE    
  



    SECTION 3.01  Payment of Receivables Purchase Price.  In consideration of the

Price. The Receivables Purchase Price shall be paid in the form of (i) $1,452,407,769.00, the net cash proceeds from the sale by the Purchaser of the Class A-2 Notes, the
Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes and the net cash proceeds of the sale of the Class A-1 Notes to TMCC (less amounts retained to pay

ARTICLE V.
  
    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS    
  


    SECTION 5.01  Amendment. 



    (a) This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to add any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement or the Trust Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Purchaser delivered to the Owner
Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Issuer as assignee of the Purchaser's rights and interests hereunder. 


    (b) This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller with the consent of the Owner Trustee for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement. 




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



    (a) The
Seller at its expense shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary

at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Purchaser
hereunder to all of the Receivables and such other property. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or
filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. The Purchaser and the Owner Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the
obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this subsection. 


    (b) Within
30 days after the Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement or continuation
statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9402(7) of the UCC as in effect in the applicable state, the Seller shall give
the Purchaser notice of any such change and shall execute and file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Purchaser's security interest in the
Receivables and the proceeds thereof. 


    (c) The
Seller will give the Purchaser prompt written notice of any relocation of any office from which the Seller keeps records concerning the Receivables or of its
principal executive office and whether, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation
statement or of any new financing statement and shall execute and file such financing statements or amendments as 



11





 


may be necessary to continue the perfection of the interest of the Purchaser in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

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



    SECTION
5.06  Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by the Purchaser or the Seller except as
contemplated by this Section, Section 5.14 of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Purchaser shall assign all of its right, title and interest herein to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of any Securityholders as provided in Section 2.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, to which the Seller hereby expressly consents. The Seller also acknowledges that the Issuer will further assign the rights and interests of the Purchaser hereunder to the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture. The Seller agrees to perform its obligations hereunder for the benefit of the Issuer, and agrees that the Owner Trustee

exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers
and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

12

Agreement, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 


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

affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. 


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


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



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



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


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




    (b) The
obligations of the Seller hereunder shall not be assignable nor shall any Person succeed to the obligations of the Seller hereunder except in each case in
accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph and of Section 5.06.
