Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of TMCC 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 TMCC as secured party.


 


(viii)     Receivables in Force.  No Receivable shall have been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any Financed Vehicle have been released in whole or in part from the lien granted by the related Receivable.


 


(ix)     No Waivers.  As of the Cutoff Date, no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived (except pursuant to the Servicer’s customary servicing practices, including Permitted Modifications that re-amortize the term of the Receivable) 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.


 


(x)     No Amendments.  As of the Cutoff Date, no Receivable shall have been amended or modified in such a manner that the total number of Scheduled Payments has been increased (except pursuant to the Servicer’s customary servicing practices, including Permitted Modifications that re-amortize the term of the Receivable) 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.

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


 


(xv)     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, except for a waiver that would not violate clause (ix) or 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.


 


(xvi)     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 a transfer of the related certificate of title shall be unlawful, void or voidable.


 


(xvii)     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 from the Purchaser to the Issuer and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables shall have been made.


 


(xviii)     One Original or Authoritative Copy.  There is only one original executed copy of each tangible record (except that carbon or other copies may exist) constituting or forming a part of each Receivable that is tangible chattel paper fully executed by the related Obligor, or a single “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of each electronic record constituting or forming a part of each Receivable in the form of electronic chattel paper.  Such “authoritative copy” of each Receivable in the form of electronic chattel paper consists of a copy or image stored in an electronic medium of the original executed copy of the Receivable in the form of tangible chattel paper that had been executed by the related Obligor, that had been delivered to TMCC before conversion to an electronic record, and that identifies TMCC as the secured party under such Receivable or as the assignee of the secured party under such Receivable.  No copies or revisions that change TMCC’s identification as

the secured party or the assignee of the secured party can be made without the participation of TMCC.  Either (i) there are no copies of the authoritative copy of any Receivable in the form of electronic chattel paper or (ii) every copy of the authoritative copy and every copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy of the Receivable in the form of electronic chattel paper.  No revision of the authoritative copy of the Receivable in the form of electronic chattel paper can be made unless such revision is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.  After the creation and designation of the electronic record evidencing the Receivable as the authoritative copy, the tangible record evidencing the Receivable was destroyed and, pending such destruction, was marked or maintained in such a manner to indicate that such tangible record is not an authoritative copy of the Receivable.


 


(xix)     Chattel Paper.  Each Receivable constitutes “chattel paper” that is in the form of either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” as such terms are defined in the UCC.


 


(xx)     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 4 nor more than 68; (B) each Receivable provides for the payment of a finance charge based on an APR ranging from 0.00% to 15.00%; (C) each Receivable shall have had an original principal balance of not less than $1,000 and not more than $85,000 and, as of the Cutoff Date, an unpaid principal balance of not less than $250 and not more than $75,000; (D) no Financed Vehicle was subject to force-placed insurance as of the Cutoff Date; (E) each Receivable is being serviced by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation; (F) each Receivable is secured by a new or used passenger car, minivan, light-duty truck or sport utility vehicle; (G) no Receivable was more than 29 days past due as of the Cut-Off Date; (H) as of the Cut-Off Date, no Receivable was noted in the records of the TMCC or the Servicer as being the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency proceeding; and (I) each Receivable is calculated with the Simple Interest Method.


 


(b)     Survival and Notice of Breach.  The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 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, any subsequent assignment or transfer pursuant to Article Two of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and any subsequent pledge of the Receivables under the Indenture. The Purchaser or the Seller, or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other party promptly, in writing, upon discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to this Section which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser (or any assignee thereof) in any Receivable.


 


(c)     Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Seller hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Schedule I hereto to


 






  





12











  








the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Receivables.


 


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


 


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


 


(a)     Security Interests.  Except for the conveyances hereunder and any subsequent pledge of the Receivables under the Indenture, 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 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 2.04, 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.


 






  





13











  








(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 2011-A Owner Trust.


 


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


 


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

General


 


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


 


          2.      The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “tangible chattel paper” and “electronic chattel paper”) “accounts,” “instruments” or “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.


 


          3.      Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Indenture Trustee, as secured party, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Indenture Trustee, as secured party.


 


Creation


 


          4.      Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien and immediately after the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien.


 


          5.      The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables hereunder to the Purchaser required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments.


 


Perfection


 


          6.      The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Purchaser hereunder; and the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession the original copies of such instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables, and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”


 


          7.      With respect to Receivables that constitute instruments or tangible chattel paper, either:


 










  





S-1











  













 


(i)      all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or


 


(ii)      such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee; or


 


 (iii)      the Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee.


 


Priority


 


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

          10.      Neither the Seller nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer.


 


          11.      None of the instruments, tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.


 


Survival of Perfection Representations


 


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