TRANSFER OF 20[__]-[__] SUBI CERTIFICATE

 

Section 2.01. Transfer of 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate.  In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of cash in the amount of $[__________] (the “Transfer Price”), the Transferor does hereby absolutely sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth above, all of the following (collectively, the “Assets”):

 

(i)   all right, title and interest in and to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;

 

(ii)   the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented by the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate;

 

  

2  

  

(iii)   all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Holder of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement; and

 

(iv)   all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

Section 2.02. True Sale.  The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets constitute a true sale and assignment of the Assets such that any interest in and title to the Assets would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in the event the Transferor becomes a debtor in a case under any bankruptcy law.  To the extent that the conveyance of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as a financing, it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee
that the interest conveyed constitute a first priority grant of a perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York by the Transferor to the Transferee to secure the Transfer Price to the Transferor.  The Transferor does hereby grant to the Transferee a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges and interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as transferor (the “Transferor”), hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Toyota Leasing, Inc., as transferee (the “Transferee”), as follows on the Closing Date:

 

General

 

1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.

 

2. The 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

 

Creation

 

3. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

 

4. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder to the Transferee required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.

 

5. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder.

 

Perfection

 

6. The Transferor 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

 

  

I-1  

  

proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate granted to the Transferee hereunder; 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. To the extent that the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee.

 

Priority

 

8. The Transferor has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Transferor that include a description of collateral covering the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee under this Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate from the Transferee to the Issuer under the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or (iv) that has been terminated.

Section 2.01. Transfer of 20[__]-[__]  SUBI Certificate.  In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of $[__________] aggregate principal amount of Notes and the Trust Certificates (the “Transfer Price”), the Transferor does hereby absolutely sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth above, all of the following (collectively, the
“Assets”):

 

(i)   all right, title and interest in and to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;

 

(ii)   the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented by the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate;

 

(iii)   all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Holder of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;

any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of the Transferor or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them.

In addition, the Transferor hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will
have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Transferee under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.11. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been signed by [__________] not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall [__________] in its individual capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer
hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the priorities set forth herein.  For all purposes of this Agreement, in the

 

  

10

  

performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

General

1.           This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.

2.           The 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

Creation

3.           The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not
impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

4.           The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder to the Transferee required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.

5.           The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder.

 

Perfection

 

6.           The Transferor 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

  

I-1

  

proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate granted to the Transferee hereunder; 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.           To the extent that the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee.

 

Priority

 

8.           The Transferor has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Transferor that include a description of collateral covering the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to the Transferor under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee under this Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or
