W I T N E S S E T H:

    WHEREAS
the Issuer desires to enter into a credit and liquidity enhancement arrangement that will provide funding for certain required payments of principal and interest on the Notes

    WHEREAS

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the

Article I
  Definitions


    Capitalized
terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2001, among the Issuer,
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer, and TAFR LLC, as seller (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"). 


 
 

Article II
  Funding by Holder of Revolving Liquidity Note


    Section 2.1.  General Funding Obligation.  Pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the amounts to be distributed in respect of interest on or principal of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 5.06(c)(i)(B) and (C) or 5.06(d)(ii) or (iii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement exceed the amount of Available Collections that will be available to make such payments
and will determine whether amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, if any, that are available therefor will be sufficient to fund such payments on the related Payment Date. If, in accordance with
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer that it has determined that Available Collections and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account
that will be available to make such payments will be
insufficient therefor, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will have the right to request the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Holder") to fund such shortfall (such request,
or any request for funding described in Section 2.2 hereof, a "Draw"); provided that the Holder will not be obligated to fund any such shortfall
to the extent that the aggregate of the amounts funded by it hereunder and not previously repaid equals or exceeds $7,500,000 (the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving
Liquidity Note as described herein will not be considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation). The "Undrawn 


2





 


Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $7,500,000 less an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw Requests (as defined in
Section 2.3) that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4 (the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note as described herein will not be
considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation, and any amount paid in respect of such accrued interest will not be considered to increase the Undrawn Amount). 



    Section 2.2.  Additional Funding Obligations.  If at any time prior to the Final Payment Date
either (i) the short-term unsecured debt rating of TMCC 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 (ii) the Holder fails to fund the amount specified in any Draw Request prepared and submitted to the Holder in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Agreement,
then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will have the right to request that the entire Undrawn Amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note be funded. To the extent the entire Undrawn Amount is
fully funded pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Undrawn Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws. 



    Section 2.3.  Draw Mechanics.  Not fewer than two Business Days prior to the relevant Payment
Date, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.1, and on any Business Day, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.2, the Issuer, by action of the Indenture Trustee or of the
Administrator on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (following the assignment of this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the Indenture terminates in accordance
with its provisions), may deliver a written request (each such request, a "Draw Request") for funds in the amount of the shortfall described in Section 2.1 or the entire Undrawn Amount in the
case of a Draw pursuant to Section 2.2. Any such Draw Request may be delivered by facsimile transmission and hard copy to: Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, (310) 468-5715,
Attn: Vice President, Treasury, Re: Toyota Auto Receivables 2001-C Owner Trust Revolving Liquidity Note Draw Request. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following delivery
of any Draw Request, the Holder will fund the indicated draw by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following account:

For further credit to: 47300425

Attn: Toyota Auto Rec Tr 2001-C #77093141 


    Section 2.4.  Repayment of Funded Draws.  Subject to the following sentences, the Issuer is
obligated to repay all funded Draws together with interest accrued on the daily outstanding balance of all funded Draws from the date made until the date all funded Draws are repaid at 5.07% per
annum, calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. The parties hereto (and the assignees and third-party beneficiaries hereof, by accepting the assignment of this
Agreement as contemplated in Section 2.5 hereof) agree that Draws will be repaid in part or in whole on any each succeeding Payment Date on which amounts are available therefor in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) or 5.06(d)(iv) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and interest accrued on the daily outstanding amount of funded Draws will be payable on
and after the Payment Date on which all funded Draws are repaid and on which amounts are available therefore in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(F) or 5.06(d)(v) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. Payments to the Holder in respect of funded Draws or accrued interest will be made either by (i) netting by TMCC of amounts that would be repayable on any Payment
Date to the extent amounts would be available therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) and (F) or 5.06(d)(iv) and (v) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement against amounts it is otherwise required to deposit into the Collection

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if following liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required
payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have
been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no further payment owing from the Trust. 


    Section 2.5.  Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the right to receive amounts funded by the Holder under the Revolving Liquidity Note and all other rights of
the Issuer under this Agreement will be assigned by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders, and that the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Noteholders, and such Noteholders, are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement from and after such assignment and until the Indenture is terminated in accordance with its terms. In
addition, the Holder expressly acknowledges that, pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will exercise its right to request funds hereunder in every circumstance when such request may be
made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Revolving Liquidity Note, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or the Revolving Liquidity Note, or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein or therein. 


 
 

Article III
  Revolving Liquidity Note


    Section 3.1.  Issuance of Revolving Liquidity Note.  On the date hereof, the Issuer will execute
and deliver to the Holder a physical certificate evidencing the Revolving Liquidity Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Revolving Liquidity Note issued hereunder will
evidence the repayment obligations of the Issuer set forth in Section 2.4 hereof and the funding obligations of the Holder thereof set forth in Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, and will be
dated the date of its issuance. 


    Section 3.2.  Terms.  Upon issuance, the Undrawn Amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note shall be
$7,500,000. The Undrawn Amount will be reduced by the amount of each Draw funded by the Holder, and increased by amounts repaid to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.4 up to a maximum of
$7,500,000, excluding interest paid on the Revolving Liquidity Note. Interest will accrue on the average daily outstanding excess of $7,500,000 over the Undrawn Amount from and including the date of
any Draw to but excluding the date on which the Undrawn Amount is reduced to zero. Although the Revolving Liquidity Note is secured by the Owner Trust Estate (excluding assets of the
Sub-Trust as defined in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Issuer), all payments in respect of funded Draws and interest accrued thereon shall be fully subordinated to
required payments to the Noteholders and to required deposits into the Reserve Account as set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 


    Section 3.3.  Transfer.  Prior to the termination of the Indenture, the Holder may not transfer,
assign or convey the Revolving Liquidity Note or this Agreement unless: (i) the purported transferee, assignee or recipient of such conveyance has executed a written agreement to be bound by
all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (ii) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder; and (iii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that
Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce 


4





 


or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such transfer, assignment or conveyance and (y) has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written
notice of such intended transfer, assignment or conveyance and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such transfer, assignment or conveyance might or would result in the
qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. The Revolving Liquidity Note may not be transferred, assigned or conveyed in part; any transfer,
conveyance or assignment must be in respect of 100% of the Revolving Liquidity Note. The Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) will maintain a register in which it will record the name
and contact information for each Holder. No transfer, assignment or conveyance of the Revolving Liquidity Note will be effective prior to notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and recordation
by the Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) thereof in such register. 


    Section 3.4.  No Set-Off.  Without affecting the provisions of this Agreement
requiring the calculation of payment amounts, all payments under this Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaims against payments to or from the Swap Counterparty under the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement or other Basic Documents or payments owing to the Servicer under the Basic Documents, and the parties hereto waive any right of set-off or counterclaim that
any such party may have at law or equity.

Exhibit A–2





 

TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES OWNER TRUST 2001-C 


REVOLVING
LIQUIDITY NOTE 


Representing
a

Maximum Amount of Funded Draws

outstanding at any time not to exceed

$7,500,000 


    This
certifies that TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (the "Holder") is the registered owner of this Revolving Liquidity Note representing the right to receive the payment of certain
Draws funded as described in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement") dated as of September 20, 2001, between Toyota Auto Receivables Owner Trust
2001-C, as issuer (the "Issuer") and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as initial holder hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2001, among the Issuer, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer, and TAFR
LLC, as seller (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"). 


    This
Revolving Liquidity Note represents a 100% undivided interest in the right of the Holder to receive repayment in full of the aggregate amount of funded Draws and interest accrued
thereon as and to the extent such amounts are payable in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. All of the provisions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and Sale and Servicing
Agreement are incorporated by reference and comprise integral parts of this Revolving Liquidity Note. The following summary of certain provisions thereof is not and does not purport to be complete. By
its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Holder") assents to and is bound by the terms, provisions and conditions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, including
the provisions thereof (i) setting forth the obligation of the Holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note to fund Draws as and when properly requested pursuant to Article II thereof,
(ii) specifying that this Revolving Liquidity Note is secured only by certain assets of the Issuer and is payable only from certain collections in respect thereof that are available for such
purpose in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (iii) specifying that all payments in respect of funded Draws and
interest accrued thereon shall be fully subordinated to required payments to the holders of certain other securities issued by the Issuer and to required deposits into a specified reserve account
established for the benefit of the holders of such other securities in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 


    The
"Undrawn Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $7,500,000 less an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw
Requests that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, and increased by amounts repaid to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.4 of the
Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement up to a maximum of $7,500,000 (interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note not being considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation,
and any amount paid in respect of such accrued interest will not be considered to increase the Undrawn Amount). To the extent the entire Undrawn Amount is fully funded pursuant to Section 2.2
of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Undrawn Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws. Interest will accrue on the average daily outstanding excess of
$7,500,000 over the Undrawn Amount from and including the date of any Draw to but excluding the date on which the Undrawn Amount is reduced to zero at 5.07% per annum, calculated daily on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. 


    Subject
to the more detailed provisions concerning payments to be made to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note set forth in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, generally, repayment of Draws previously funded by the (or a) Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, and interest accrued thereon as described below, will be made on
the 15th 


Exhibit A–3





 


day of each calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, to the extent funds are available therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following
liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant
to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no
further payment owing from the Trust. 


    Prior
to the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended by the Issuer and the Holder, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided,  however,
 that (i) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder, and (ii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that
Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such amendment and (y) has provided Moody's with
10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee 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. After the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended in writing by the Issuer and the Holder without notice to or
consent of any other Person. 


    Prior
to the termination of the Indenture, the Holder may not transfer, assign or convey this Revolving Liquidity Note or the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement unless: (i) the
