is
hereby authorized on behalf of the
Company:
|
(a) |
to
authenticate or arrange for authentication on its behalf (if so instructed
by the Company) of such Definitive Note(s);
and
|
(b) |
to

Two
of such Global Note, or, if it is a NGN, on Euroclear and Clearstream

provided that the Agent shall only permit a partial exchange of Notes
represented by a Permanent Global Note for Definitive Notes if the
Notes
which continue to be represented by such Permanent Global Note are

exchange therefor.
|
-12-
The
Agent shall notify the Company forthwith upon receipt of a request for issue
of
Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the provisions of a Global Note (and
the
aggregate nominal amount of such Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global

Exchanges
|
Upon
any exchange of all or a portion of an interest in a Temporary Global Note
for
an interest in a Permanent Global Note or for Definitive Notes or upon any
exchange of all or a portion of an interest in a Permanent Global Note for
Definitive Notes, the Agent shall (i) procure that the relevant Global Note
shall, if it is a CGN, be endorsed to reflect the reduction of, or increase
in
(as the case may be), its nominal amount by the aggregate nominal amount so
exchanged and, where applicable, the Permanent Global Note shall be endorsed
by
or on behalf of the Agent to reflect the increase in its nominal amount as
a
result of any exchange for an interest in the Temporary Global Note or (ii)
in
the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, instruct Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such
exchange. Until exchanged in full, the holder of an interest in any Global
Note
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as the holder of Notes,
Receipts and Coupons authenticated (in the case of Definitive Notes) and
delivered hereunder, subject as set out in the Conditions and the relevant
Global Note. The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Company (a) in
the
case of any Global Note which is a CGN, to endorse or to arrange for the
endorsement of the relevant Global Note to reflect the reduction in the nominal
amount represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and, if appropriate,
to
endorse the Permanent Global Note to reflect any increase in the nominal amount
represented by it and, in either case, to sign in the relevant space on the
relevant Global Note recording such exchange and reduction or increase; (b)
in
the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, to instruct Euroclear and
Clearstream to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such
exchange; and (c) in the case of a total exchange, to cancel or arrange for
the
cancellation of the relevant Global Note. Any of the duties and obligations
of
the Agent set forth in this Clause 6 may, with the consent of the Company,
be
delegated by the Agent with respect to a particular Series of Notes to a third
party, provided such third party’s performance is subject to the overall
supervision and control of the Agent.

7. |
Terms
of Issue
|
(1) |
The
Agent shall cause all Temporary Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes
and
Definitive Notes delivered to and held by it under this Agreement
to be
maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that such Notes are issued
only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
relevant
Global Note and Conditions.
|
(2) |
Subject
to the procedures set out in the Procedures Memorandum, for the purposes
of Subclause (1) the Agent is entitled to treat a telephone, telex
or
facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the
Agent,
after making reasonable investigation, believes in good faith to
be) the
authorized representative of the Company named in the list referred
to in,
or notified pursuant to, Subclause 19(7) as sufficient instructions
and
authority of the Company for the Agent to act in accordance with
Subclause
7(1).
|
(3) |
In
the event that a person who has signed on behalf of the Company a
master
Temporary Global Note, a master Permanent Global Note or Definitive
Notes
not yet issued but held by the Agent in accordance with Subclause
5(1)
ceases to be authorized as described in Subclause 19(7), the Agent
shall
(unless the Company gives notice to the Agent that Notes signed by
that
person do not constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company
or
otherwise until replacements have been provided to the Agent) continue
to
have authority to issue any such Notes, and the Company hereby warrants
to
the Agent that such Notes shall, unless notified as aforesaid, be
valid
and binding obligations of the Company. Promptly upon such person
ceasing
to be authorized, the Company shall provide the Agent with replacement
master Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and
Definitive Notes and the Agent shall cancel and destroy the master
Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and Definitive
Notes
held by it which are signed by such person and shall provide to the
Company a confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying
the
Notes so cancelled and destroyed.
|
(4) |
Unless
otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Agent, each
Note
credited to the Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and
Clearstream (or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other applicable
clearing agency) following the delivery of a Temporary Global Note
or
Permanent Global Note to a common depositary or, as the case may
be, a
common safekeeper pursuant to Subclause 3(1)(c), 3(1)(d), 4(1)(c)
or
4(1)(d), respectively, shall be held to the order of the Company.
The
Agent shall procure that the nominal amount of Notes which the relevant
Purchaser has agreed to purchase
is:
|
(a) |
debited
from the Agent’s distribution account;
and
|
(b) |
credited
to the securities account of such Purchaser with Euroclear, Clearstream
or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other clearing agency
(as
specified in the Letter from Lead Manager/Dealer as provided for
in Annex
C to the Procedures Memorandum set forth in Appendix D to this Agreement),
in each case only upon receipt by the Agent on behalf of the Company
of
the purchase price due from the relevant Purchaser in respect of
such
Notes.
|
-14-
(5) |
Unless
otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Agent, if
on the
relevant Issue Date a Purchaser does not pay the full purchase price
due
from it in respect of any Note (the “Defaulted Note”) and, as a result,
the Defaulted Note remains in the Agent’s distribution account with
Euroclear and Clearstream (or, in the case of Notes in CGN form,
other
applicable clearing agency) after such Issue Date, the Agent will
continue
to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of the Company. The Agent
shall
notify the Company forthwith of the failure of the Purchaser to pay
the
full purchase price due from it in respect of any Defaulted Note
and,
subsequently, shall notify the Company forthwith upon receipt from
the
Purchaser of the full purchase price in respect of such Defaulted
Note.
|
(6) |
Unless
otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Agent, if
the
Agent pays an amount (the “Advance”) to the Company on the basis that a
payment (the “Payment”) will be received from a Purchaser and if the
Payment is not received by the Agent on the date the Agent pays the
Company, the Agent shall notify the Company by telex or facsimile
that the
Payment has not been received and the Company shall repay to the
Agent the
Advance and shall pay interest on the Advance (or the unreimbursed
portion
thereof) from (and including) the date such Advance is made to (but
excluding) the earlier of repayment of the Advance and receipt by
the
Agent of the Payment (at a rate quoted at that time by the Agent
as its
cost of funding the Advance).
|
(7) |
In
the event of an issue of Notes, the Agent will promptly, and in any
event
prior to the Issue Date in respect of such issue, send the Final
Terms to
the Company, relevant Stock Exchange and the relevant
Dealers.
|
8. |
Payments
|
(1) |
The
Agent shall advise the Company, no later than ten Business Days (as
defined below) immediately preceding the date on which any payment
is to
be made to the Agent pursuant to this Subclause 8(1), of the payment
amount, value date and payment instructions and the Company shall
on each
date on which any payment in respect of any Notes becomes due, transfer
to
an account specified by the Agent not later than the Payment Time
such
amount in the relevant currency as shall be sufficient for the purposes
of
such payment in funds settled through such payment system as the
Agent and
the Company may agree. As used in this Subclause 8(1), the term “Payment
Time” means 2:00 p.m. local time in the principal financial center of the
country of the currency in which the payment falls is to be made
(which in
the case of payment of euro is
London).
|
(2) |
The
Agent shall advise the Company, no later than ten Business Days
immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made
to the
Agent pursuant to Subclause 8(l), of the payment amount, value date
and
payment instructions and the Company shall ensure that, no later
than the
third Business Day immediately preceding the date on which any payment
is
to be made to the Agent pursuant to Subclause 8(1), the Agent shall
receive a confirmation from the Company that payment will be made.
For the
purposes of this Clause 8, “Business Day” means (unless otherwise stated
in the applicable Final Terms) a day which
is:
|
-15-
(a) |
a
day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which commercial banks
and
foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general
business
(including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits)
in
London;
|
(b) |
either
(i) in relation to a payment to be made in a Specified Currency other
than
euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets
settle
payments and are open for general business (including dealings in
foreign
exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial
center
of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than
London),
or (ii) in relation to a payment to be made in euro, a day on which
the
TARGET system is open; and
|
(c) |
a
day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for
business
in the relevant place of business of the
Agent.
|
Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial center
of any country for any Series of Notes for the purposes of this Subclause 8(2)
shall be as provided in the ISDA Definitions on the Issue Date of such Series
of
Notes (except in the case of New Zealand and Australia, where the principal
financial center will be as specified in the applicable Final
Terms).
(3) |
Subject
to the Agent being satisfied in its sole discretion that payment
will be
duly made as provided in Subclause 8(1), the Agent or the relevant
Paying
Agent shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect of
the
Notes on behalf of the Company in the manner provided in the Conditions.
If any payment provided for in Subclause 8(1) is made late but otherwise
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and
each
Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes
as
aforesaid following receipt by it of such
payment.
|
(4) |
If
for any reason the Agent considers in its sole discretion that the
amounts
to be received by the Agent pursuant to Subclause 8(1) will be, or
the
amounts actually received by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient
to
satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then falling due in
respect
of the Notes, the Agent shall then forthwith notify the Company of
such
insufficiency and, until such time as the Agent has received the
full
amount of all such payments, neither the Agent nor any Paying Agent
shall
be obliged to pay any such claims.
|
-16-
(5) |
Without
prejudice to Subclauses 8(3) and 8(4), if the Agent pays any amounts
to
the holders of Notes, Receipts or Coupons or to any Paying Agent
at a time
when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant
Notes
in accordance with Subclause 8(1) (the excess of the amounts so paid
over
the amounts so received being the “Shortfall”), the Company shall, in
addition to paying amounts due under Subclause 8(1), pay to the Agent
on
demand interest (at a rate which represents the Agent’s actual overnight
cost of funding the Shortfall) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed
portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Agent of the Shortfall.
The Agent shall notify the Company by tested telex or facsimile as
soon as
practicable, it being understood that the Company shall have the
right to
make such payment subsequently with good value as of such Business
Day.
|
(6) |
The
Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments
in
respect of Notes properly made by such Paying Agent in accordance
with
this Agreement and the Conditions unless the Agent has notified the
Paying
Agent, prior to the opening of business in the location of the office
of
the Paying Agent through which payment in respect of the Notes can
be made
on the due date of a payment in respect of the Notes, that the Agent
does
not expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts
falling due in respect of such
Notes.
|
(7) |
Whilst
any Notes are represented by Global Notes, all payments due in respect
of
such Notes shall be made to, or to the order of, the holder of the
Global
Notes, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Global
Notes. On the occasion of any such payment, (i) in the case of a
CGN, the
Paying Agent to which the Global Note was presented for the purpose
of
making such payment shall cause the relevant Schedule to the Global
Notes
to be annotated so as to evidence the amounts and dates of such payments
of principal and/or interest as applicable or (ii) in the case of
any
Global Note which is a NGN, the Agent shall instruct Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records
to
reflect such payment.
|
(8) |
If
the amount of principal and/or interest then due for payment is not
paid
in full (otherwise than by reason of a deduction required by law
to be
made therefrom), (i) the Paying Agent to which a Global Note is presented
for the purpose of making such payment shall, unless the Note is
a NGN,
make a record of such shortfall on the relevant Schedule to the Global
Note and such record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
prima
facie evidence that the payment in question has not to that extent
been
made or (ii) in the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, the Agent
shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate
entries in their records to reflect such shortfall in payment.
|
9. |

and Notifications in Respect of
Notes
|
(1) |
The
Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations (howsoever
described) as it is required to do under the Conditions, all subject

with respect to any Series of Notes may be made by an agent (the
“Calculation Agent”) appointed by the Company and acceptable to the Agent.
The Agent may decline to act in the capacity described above in relation
to a particular Series of Notes if (i) the Agent does not have the
capacity to determine the rate of interest or redemption amount or
any
other calculation to be made in relation to such Series of Notes
and (ii)
such decision to decline is notified to the Issuer by the Agent as
soon as
reasonably practicable after receipt by the Agent of the terms of
such
Series of Notes and, in any event, prior to the issue of such Series
of
Notes.
|
-17-
(2) |
The
Agent shall not be responsible to the Company or to any third party

as a
result of the Agent having acted on any quotation given by any Reference
Bank which subsequently may be found to be
incorrect.
|
(3) |
The
Agent shall promptly notify the Company, the other Paying Agents
and (in
respect of a Series of Notes listed on a Stock Exchange) the relevant
Stock Exchange of, inter
alia,
each Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date
and all
other amounts, rates and dates which it is obliged to determine or
calculate under the Conditions as soon as practicable after the
determination thereof (and in any event no later than the tenth Business

any payment is to be made to the Agent pursuant to Subclause 8(1))
and of
any subsequent amendment thereto pursuant to the
Conditions.

by
the Company as provided in Subclause 9(1)) to be published as required
in
accordance with the Conditions as soon as possible after their
determination or calculation.

(5) |
If
the Agent does not at any material time for any reason determine
and/or
calculate and/or publish the Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and/or
Interest Payment Date in respect of any Interest Period or any other
amount, rate or date as provided in this Clause 9, it shall forthwith
notify the Company and the other Paying Agents of such
fact.
|
(6) |
The
Agent shall provide to the Dealer or Dealers with respect to any
Series of
Notes certification as to the completion of distribution of such
Series of
Notes.
|
(7) |
For
purposes of monitoring the aggregate nominal amount of Notes issued
under
the Program, the Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent
of the
nominal amount of each issue of Notes denominated in another currency,
each issue of Dual Currency Notes and each issue of Index Linked
Notes as
follows:
|
-18-
(a) |
the
U.S. dollar equivalent of Notes denominated in a currency other than
U.S.
dollars shall be determined by the Agent as of 2:30 p.m. London time
on
the Issue Date for such Notes by reference to the spot rate displayed
on a
page on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service or the Dow Xxxxx
Markets
Limited or such other service as is agreed between the Agent and
the
Company from time to time;
|
(b) |
the
U.S. dollar equivalent of Dual Currency Notes and Index Linked Notes
shall
be determined in the manner specified above by reference to the original

(d) |
the
U.S. dollar equivalent of Partly Paid Notes shall be the nominal
amount
regardless of the amount paid up on such
Notes.
|
The
Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each determination made as
aforesaid.
10. |
Notice
of Any Withholding or Deduction
|
If
the Company is, in respect of any payments, compelled to withhold or deduct
any
amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges
as specifically contemplated under the Conditions, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make
such
withholding or deduction and shall give to the Agent such information as it
shall require to enable it to comply with such requirement.
11. |
Duties
of the Agent in Connection with Early
Redemption
|
(1) |
If
the Company decides to redeem any Notes for the time being outstanding
prior to their Maturity Date in accordance with the Conditions, the
Company shall give notice of such decision to the Agent not less
than 5
days before the relevant redemption date or such shorter period that

Changes
in Agent and Paying Agents
|
(1) |
The
Company agrees that, until no Note is outstanding or until moneys
for the
payment of all amounts in respect of all outstanding Notes have been
made
available to the Agent (whichever is the
later):
|
(a) |
so
long as any Notes (i) are listed on the London Stock Exchange, there
will at all times be a Paying Agent (or the Agent) having a specified
office in London; and (ii) are listed on any other Stock Exchange,
there will at all times be a Paying Agent in any such location as
may be
required by the rules and regulations of the relevant Stock
Exchange;
|
(b) |
there
will at all times be a Paying Agent (or the Agent) with a specified
office
in a city approved by the Company and the Agent in continental Europe;
|
(c) |
there
will at
all times be an Agent; and
|
(d) |
if
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld
or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal or
interest
in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon, where such withholding
or
deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required
to be
made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the
taxation
of savings income or any law implementing or complying with or introduced
to conform to, such Directive, the Company will ensure that it maintains
a
Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not
be
obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive
or
law.
|
In
addition, the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office
in
New York City in the circumstances described in the final paragraph of Condition
6(b). Any variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect

The
Agent may (subject as provided in Subclause 21(4)) at any time resign

its
part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall

agrees
to accept less notice.

any time
by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of the
Company specifying such removal and the date when it shall become

|
(4) |
Any
resignation under Subclause 21(2) or removal under Subclause 21(3)
shall
only take effect upon the appointment by the Company of a successor
Agent
and (other than in cases of insolvency of the Agent) on the expiry
of the
notice to be given under Clause 23. If, by the day falling 10 days
before
the expiry of any notice under Subclause 21(2), the Company has not
appointed a successor Agent, then the Agent shall be entitled, on
behalf
of the Company, to appoint as a successor Agent in its place such
reputable financial institution of good standing as it may reasonably
determine to be capable of performing the duties of the Agent
hereunder.
|
(5) |
In
case at any time the Agent resigns, or is removed, or becomes incapable
of
action or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary
petition
in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors
or
consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator or
administrative or other receiver of all or a substantial part of
its
property, or if an administrator, liquidator or administrative or
other
receiver of it or all or a substantial part of its property is appointed,
or it admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as
they
become due, or if an order of any court is entered approving any
petition
filed by or against it under the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy
or insolvency law or if any officer takes charge or control of it
or of
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, administration
or liquidation, a successor Agent may be appointed by the Company
by an
instrument in writing filed with the successor Agent. Upon the appointment
as aforesaid of a successor Agent and acceptance by the latter of
such
appointment and (other than in the case of insolvency of the Agent)
upon
expiry of the notice to be given under Clause 23, the Agent so superseded
shall cease to be the Agent
hereunder.

(6) |
Subject
to Subclause 21(1), the Company may, after prior consultation with
the
Agent, terminate the appointment of any of the Paying Agents at any
time
and/or appoint one or more further Paying Agents located outside
the
United States (either for all Notes issued under the Program or with
respect to a particular Series of Notes) by giving to the Agent,
and to
the relevant Paying Agent, at least 45 days notice in writing to
that
effect, or such lesser notice as is agreed to by the Agent, the Company
and the relevant Paying Agent.
|
(7) |
Subject
to Subclause 21(1), all or any of the Paying Agents may resign their
respective appointments hereunder at any time by giving the Company
and
the Agent at least 45 days written notice to that
effect.
|
(8) |

its resignation or removal becoming effective, the Agent or the relevant
Paying Agent:
|
-27-
(a) |
shall,
in the case of the Agent, forthwith transfer all moneys held by it
hereunder and the records referred to in Subclauses 13(5) and 14(7)
to the
successor Agent hereunder; and
|
(b) |
shall
be entitled to the payment by the Company of its commissions and
fees for
the services theretofore rendered hereunder in accordance with the
terms
of Clause 16 and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including legal fees and together with any applicable value
added tax or similar tax thereon) incurred in connection
therewith.
|
(9) |
Upon
its appointment becoming effective, a successor Agent and any new
Paying
Agent shall, without further act, deed or conveyance, become vested
with
all the authority, rights, powers, trust, immunities, duties and
obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally
named as
Agent or (as the case may be) a Paying Agent
hereunder.
|
22. |
Merger
and Consolidation
|
Any
corporation into which the Agent or any Paying Agent may be merged, or any
corporation with which the Agent or any of the Paying Agents may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to
which the Agent or any of the Paying Agents shall be a party, or any corporation
to which the Agent or any of the Paying Agents shall sell or otherwise transfer
all or substantially all the assets of the Agent or any Paying Agent shall,
on
the date when such merger, consolidation or transfer becomes effective and
to
the extent permitted by any applicable laws, become the successor Agent or,
as
the case may be, Paying Agent under this Agreement without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless
otherwise required by the Company, and after the said effective date all
references in this Agreement to the Agent or, as the case may be, such Paying
Agent shall be deemed to be references to such corporation. Notice of any such
merger, consolidation or transfer shall forthwith be given to the Company by
the
relevant Agent or Paying Agent.

receipt of notice of resignation from the Agent or any Paying Agent and
forthwith upon appointing a successor Agent or, as the case may be, further
or
other Paying Agents for any Series of Notes outstanding prior to the date of
such appointment or on giving notice to terminate the appointment of any Agent
or, as the case may be, Paying Agent, the Company shall give or cause to be

shall give to the Company and (if applicable) the Agent written notice of such
determination giving the address of the new specified office which shall be
in
the same city and stating the date on which such change is to take effect,
which
shall not be less than 45 days thereafter. The Agent (on behalf of the Company)
shall within 15 days of receipt of such notice (unless the appointment of the
Agent or the relevant Paying Agent, as the case may be, is to terminate pursuant
to Clause 21 on or prior to the date of such change) give or cause to be given
not more than 45 days nor less than 30 days notice thereof to the Noteholders
in
accordance with the Conditions; provided, however, that if a Paying Agent acts
as Paying Agent for only some of the Series of Notes under the Program, notice

Agent.

Any
notice or communication given hereunder shall be sufficiently given or

execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.
27. |
Currency
Indemnity
|
If,
under any applicable law and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or
registered against the Company or for any other reason, any payment under or
in
connection with this Agreement is made or is to be satisfied in a currency
(the
“other currency”) other than that in which the relevant payment is expressed to
be due (the “required currency”) under this Agreement, then, to the extent that
the payment (when converted into the required currency at the rate of exchange
on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the Agent or the
relevant Paying Agent to purchase the required currency with the other currency
on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is
practicable for it to do so or, in the case of a liquidation, insolvency or
analogous process at the rate of exchange on the latest date permitted by
applicable law for the determination of liabilities in such liquidation,
insolvency or analogous process) actually received by the Agent or the relevant
Paying Agent falls short of the amount due under the terms of this Agreement,
the Company shall, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and
hold
harmless the Agent against the amount of such shortfall.
For
the purposes of this Clause 27, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the
Agent is able on the relevant date to purchase the required currency with the
other currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of
exchange.

(1) |
This
Agreement, the Notes and any Receipts and Coupons attached to the
Notes
may be amended by the Company and the Agent, without consent of the
holder
of any Note, Receipt or Coupons (a) for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective
provision contained herein or therein, or to evidence the succession
of
another corporation to the Company as provided in Condition 11,
(b) to make any further modifications of the terms of this Agreement
necessary or desirable to allow for the issuance of any additional
Notes
(which modifications shall not be materially adverse to holders of
outstanding Notes), or (c) in any manner which the Company (and, in
the case of this Agreement, the Agent) may deem necessary or desirable
and
which shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the
holders
of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons. In addition, with the consent
of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate nominal amount of
the
Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by a resolution adopted
by a
majority in aggregate nominal amount of such outstanding Notes affected
thereby present or represented at a meeting of such holders at which
a
quorum is present, this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
the
Notes, Receipts and Coupons may be modified or amended by the parties
hereto, and future compliance and past defaults waived, in each case
as
provided in Conditions 12 and 13 and subject to the limitations therein
provided.
|
(2) |
A
meeting of holders of Notes may be called by the holders of at least
10
per cent. in nominal amount of the outstanding Notes at any time
and from
time to time to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Agreement or the Notes to be made, given or taken by holders of
Notes.
|
(3) |
The
Agent may at any time call a meeting of holders of Notes for any
purpose
specified in Subclause 28(1) to be held at such time and at such
place in
The City of New York or in London, as the Agent and the Company shall
determine. Notice of every meeting of holders of Notes, setting forth
the
time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action
proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given by the Agent
to the
Company and to the holders of the Notes, in the same manner as provided
in
Condition 16, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the
date
fixed for the meeting. In the case at any time the Company or the
holders
of at least 10 per cent. in nominal amount of the outstanding Notes
shall
have requested the Agent to call a meeting of the holders to take
any
action authorized in Subclause 28(1), by written request setting
forth in
reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting,
and the
Agent shall not have given notice of such meeting within 21 days
after
receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause
the
meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company, or the holders
of
Notes in the amount above-specified, as the case may be, may determine
the
time and the place in The City of New York or London for such meeting
and
may call such meeting by giving notice thereof as provided in this
Subclause 28(3).
|
-30-
(4) |
To
be entitled to vote at any meeting of holders of Notes, a person
shall be
a holder of outstanding Notes at the time of such meeting, or a person
appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for such
holder.
|
(5) |
The
persons entitled to vote a majority in nominal amount of the outstanding
Notes shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, within
30
minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting may
be
adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by
the
chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting.
In the
absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned
meeting
may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as
determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment
of such
adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting
shall be given as provided in Subclause 28(3) except that such notice
need
be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting
is
scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned
meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the nominal amount
of the
outstanding Notes which shall constitute a
quorum.
|
Subject
to the foregoing, at the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for a lack of
a
quorum, the persons entitled to vote 25 per cent. in nominal amount of the
outstanding Notes shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set
forth in the notice of the original meeting. Any meeting of holders of Notes
at
which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by vote of a
majority in nominal amount of the outstanding Notes represented at the meeting,
and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. At a meeting
or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as
aforesaid, any resolution and all matters shall be effectively passed and
decided if passed or decided by the persons entitled to vote a majority in
nominal amount of the outstanding Notes represented and voting at such meeting,
provided that such amount approving such resolution shall be not less than
25
per cent. in nominal amount of the outstanding Notes.
(6) |
The
Agent may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable
for
any meeting of holders of Notes in regard to proof of the holding
of Notes
and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment
and
duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem
appropriate. The Agent shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint
a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have
been
called by the Company or holders of Notes as provided above, in which
case
the Company or the holders of Notes calling the meeting, as the case
may
be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent
chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected
by vote
of the persons entitled to vote a majority in nominal amount of the
outstanding Notes represented at the meeting. The chairman of the
meeting
shall have no right to vote, except as a holder of Notes or proxy.
A
record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting
of
holders of Notes shall be prepared, and one such copy shall be delivered
to the Company and another to the Agent to be preserved by the
Agent.

Calculation
Agency Agreement
|
A
form of calculation agency agreement is set out in Appendix C to this Agreement.
Where the Conditions require functions to be carried out by a Calculation Agent
other than the Agent, the Company may execute such an agreement or an agreement
in such other form as the Company and the Calculation Agent may
agree.
30. |
Redenomination
and Exchange
|
(1) |
Redenomination
|
Where
redenomination (“Redenomination”) is specified in the applicable Final Terms as
being applicable, and unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms,
the Company may, without the consent of any Noteholder, Receiptholder or
Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream and the Agent
and
at least 30 days’ prior notice to Noteholders as provided in Condition 16,
designate a Redenomination Date. With effect from the Redenomination Date,
notwithstanding the other provisions of the Conditions:
-32-
(a) |
The
Notes and Receipts shall (unless already so provided by mandatory
provisions of applicable law) be deemed to be redenominated in euro
in the
denomination of euro 0.01 with a nominal amount for each Note and
Receipt
equal to the nominal amount of the Note or Receipt in the original
Specified Currency, converted into euro at the Established Rate,
and the
Specified Currency shall be deemed to be Euro; provided that, if
the
Company determines, after consultation with the Agent, that the then
market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro of
internationally offered securities is different from the provisions
specified above in this Subclause 30(1)(a) or in the applicable Final
Terms, such provisions shall be deemed to be amended so as to comply
with
such market practice and the Company shall promptly notify the
Noteholders, the stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes may be
listed
and the Agent and Paying Agent(s) of such deemed
amendments.
|
(b) |
If
Definitive Notes are required to be issued after the Redenomination
Date,
they shall be issued at the expense of the Company in the denominations
of
euro 1,000, euro 10,000 and euro 100,000 and (but only to the extent
of
any remaining amounts less than euro 1,000 or such smaller denominations
as the Agent may approve) euro 0.01 and such other denominations
as the
Company, after consultation with the Agent, shall determine and notify
to
Noteholders.
|
(c) |
If
Definitive Notes have been issued, all unmatured Coupons and Receipts
denominated in the original Specified Currency (whether or not attached
to
the Notes) will become void and no payments will be made in respect
of
them with effect from the date on which the Company gives notice
(the
“Exchange Notice”) that Euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons are
available for exchange (provided that such securities are so available).
New certificates in respect of Euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and
Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes, Receipts and Coupons
in the
original Specified Currency in such manner as the Company, after
consultation with the Agent, may specify and shall be notified to
Noteholders in the Exchange Notice. No Exchange Notice may be given
less
than 15 days prior to any date for payment of principal or interest
on the
Notes.
|
(d) |
After
the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of the Notes, the
Receipts and the Coupons (other than, unless the Redenomination Date
is on
or after such date as the original Specified Currency ceases to be
a
subdivision of the Euro, payments of interest in respect of periods
commencing before the Redenomination Date) will be made solely in
euro as
though references in the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons to the
Specified Currency were to Euro. Such payments will be made in euro
by
credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which
euro
may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or by check;
provided, however, that a check may not be delivered to an address
in, and
an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located
in, the
United States of America or its possessions except as provided in
Condition 6(b).
|
(e) |
After
the Redenomination Date, “Business Day” in relation to any sum payable in
euro shall mean a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange
markets settle payments and are open for general business (including
dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London
and
New York and a day on which the TARGET system is open. After the
Redenomination Date, “Payment Business Day” shall mean (A) a “Business
Day” as defined herein and (B) a day on which commercial banks are open
for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and
foreign
currency deposits) in the relevant place of
presentation.
|
-33-
(f) |
If
definitive Notes have been issued, after the Redenomination Date,
the
amount of interest due in respect of Notes will be calculated by
reference
to the aggregate nominal amount of Notes presented (or, as the case
may
be, in respect of which Receipts or Coupons are presented) for payment
by
the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded
down
to the nearest euro 0.01. If the Notes are in global form, after
the
Redenomination Date, the amount of interest due in respect of Notes
represented by the Global Note will be calculated by reference to
the
aggregate nominal amount of such Notes and the amount of such payment
shall be rounded down to the nearest euro
0.01.
|
(g) |
The
applicable Final Terms will specify any relevant changes to the provisions
relating to interest, including without limitation, any change to
the
applicable Day Count Fraction and Business Day
Convention.
|
(2) |
Exchange
|
Where
exchange (“Exchange”) is specified in the applicable Final Terms as being
applicable, and unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, the
Company may, without the consent of any Noteholder, Receiptholder or
Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream and the Agent
and
at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Noteholders as provided in Condition 16,
elect that, with effect from the Redenomination Date specified in the notice,
the Notes shall be exchangeable for Notes expressed to be denominated in euro
in
accordance with such arrangements as the Company may decide, after consultation
with the Agent, and as may be specified in the notice, including arrangements
under which Receipts and Coupons (which expression shall for this purpose
include Coupons to be issued on an exchange of matured Talons) unmatured at
the
date so specified become void.
(3) |
Amendments
and Modifications
|
The
applicable Final Terms in relation to any Notes may specify other Terms and
Conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent
with the provisions herein, replace or modify the provisions for the purpose
of
such Notes. In addition, the Company and the Agent may make any changes, without
the consent of, but with notification to (in accordance with Condition 16 and
this Clause 30), any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder, to this
Agreement necessary to implement the provisions of Condition 17 and this Clause
30.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Clause 30, if the Company determines,
after consultation with the Agent, that the then market practice in respect
of
the redenomination into euro of internationally offered securities or
Euro-denominated internationally offered securities is different from that
specified in this Clause 30, the Company may (but shall not be required to)
amend the provisions of this Clause 30 and any provision of the Conditions,
as
applicable, so as to comply with such market practice, and the Company shall
promptly notify Noteholders, the stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes
may
be listed, the Paying Agents and the Agent of such deemed amendments. Such
changes will not take effect until after they have been notified to Noteholders
in accordance with Condition 16 and this Clause 30.

APPENDIX
A
TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
The
following are the Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions” or the
“Conditions”) of the Notes issued on or after the date of this Offering Circular
which (subject to completion and amendment and to the extent applicable) will
be
attached to or incorporated by reference into each global Note and will be
incorporated by reference or endorsed upon each definitive Note. The applicable
Final Terms in relation to any Notes may specify other terms and conditions
which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with
the
following Terms and Conditions, replace or modify the following Terms and
Conditions for the purpose of such Notes. The applicable Final Terms will be
endorsed upon, or attached to, each temporary global Note, permanent global
Note
and definitive Note. Reference should be made to “Form of the Notes” in this
Offering Circular for the form of Final Terms which will include the definitions
of certain terms used in the following Terms and Conditions.
This
Note is one of a Series (as defined below) of Notes (the “Notes,” which
expression shall mean (i) in relation to any Notes represented by a global
Note, units of the lowest Specified Denomination in the Specified Currency
of
the relevant Notes, (ii) definitive Notes issued in exchange (or partial
exchange) for a temporary or permanent global Note, and (iii) any global
Note) issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Sixth Amended and Restated
Agency Agreement dated as of September 28, 2006 (the “Agency Agreement”),
and made between Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (“TMCC”, which reference does
not include the subsidiaries of TMCC) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuing
agent and (unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms) principal
paying agent and (unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms)
as
calculation agent (the “Agent”, which expression shall include any successor
agent or any other Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms)
and the other paying agents named therein (together with the Agent, the “Paying
Agents”, which expression shall include any additional or successor paying
agents).
Interest-bearing
definitive Notes will (unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms)
have interest coupons (“Coupons”) and, if indicated in the applicable Final
Terms, talons for further Coupons (“Talons”) attached on issue. Any reference
herein to Coupons or coupons shall, unless the context otherwise requires,
be
deemed to include a reference to Talons or talons. Definitive Notes repayable
in
installments will have receipts (“Receipts”) for the payment of the installments
of principal (other than the final installment) attached on issue. The Notes,
Receipts and Coupons have the benefits of certain credit support agreements
governed by Japanese law, one between Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”) and
Toyota Financial Services Corporation (“TFS”) dated July 14, 2000, and the
other between TFS and TMCC, dated October 1, 2000. However, the credit
support agreements do not constitute a direct or indirect guarantee by TMC
or
TFS thereof.
As
used herein, “Series” means all Notes which are denominated in the same currency
and which have the same Maturity Date, Interest Basis, Redemption/Payment Basis
and Interest Payment Dates (if any) (all as indicated in the applicable Final
Terms) and the terms of which (except for the Issue Date or the Interest
Commencement Date (as the case may be) and/or the Issue Price (as indicated
as
aforesaid)) are otherwise identical (including whether or not the Notes are
listed) and the expressions “Notes of the relevant Series” and “holders of Notes
of the relevant Series” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly.
As used herein, “Tranche” means all Notes of the same Series with the same Issue
Date and Interest Commencement Date (if applicable).
A-1
The
Final Terms applicable to any particular Note or Notes is attached hereto or
endorsed hereon and supplements these Terms and Conditions and may specify
other
terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent
inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions, replace or modify these Terms
and
Conditions for the purposes of such Note or Notes. References herein to the
“applicable Final Terms” shall mean the Final Terms attached hereto or endorsed
hereon.
Copies
of the Agency Agreement (which contains the form of Final Terms), the Offering
Circular dated September 28, 2006 (the “Offering Circular”) and the Final Terms
applicable to any particular Note or Notes (if listed) are available for
inspection at the specified offices of the Agent and each of the other Paying
Agents. The holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”), which expression shall, in
relation to any Notes represented by a global Note, be construed as provided
in
Condition 1, the holders of the Coupons (the “Couponholders”) and the holders of
Receipts (the “Receiptholders”) are deemed to have notice of the Agency
Agreement, the applicable Final Terms and the Offering Circular, and are
entitled to the benefit of all the provisions of the Agency Agreement and the
applicable Final Terms, which are binding on them.
A
temporary or permanent global Note will be exchangeable in whole, but not in
part, for security printed definitive Notes with, where applicable, Receipts,
Coupons and Talons attached not earlier than the date (the “Exchange Date”)
which is 40 days after completion of the distribution of the relevant
Tranche, provided that certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership has been
received: (i) at the option of TMCC; (ii) unless stated otherwise in
the applicable Final Terms, at the option of holders of an interest in the
temporary or permanent global Note upon such notice as is specified in the
applicable Final Terms from Euroclear Bank X.X./X.X., Xxxxxxxxx xx Xxx Xxxxxx
XX, X-0000, Xxxxxxxx as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) or
Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, X-0000, Xxxxxxxxxx (“Clearstream,
Luxembourg”) (as the case may be) acting on instructions of the holders of
interest in the temporary or permanent global Note and/or subject to the payment
of costs in connection with the printing and distribution of the definitive
Notes, if specified in the applicable Final Terms; (iii) if, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, holders representing at least a majority
of
the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of a Series, acting together
as a
single class, advise the Agent through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg
that they wish to receive definitive Notes; or (iv) Euroclear, Clearstream,
Luxembourg and any other relevant clearance system for the temporary or
permanent global Note are all no longer willing or able to discharge properly
their responsibilities with respect to such Notes and the Agent and TMCC are
unable to locate a qualified successor.
Words
and expressions defined in the Agency Agreement, defined elsewhere in the
Offering Circular or used in the applicable Final Terms shall have the same
meanings where used in these Terms and Conditions unless the context otherwise
requires or unless otherwise stated and provided that, in the event of
inconsistency between the Agency Agreement and the applicable Final Terms,
the
applicable Final Terms will prevail.
A-2
1. Form,
Denomination and Title
The
Notes in this Series are in bearer form and, in the case of definitive Notes,
serially numbered in the Specified Currency (or Currencies in the case of Dual
Currency Notes) and in the Specified Denomination(s) specified in the applicable
Final Terms.
This
Note may be a Note bearing interest on a fixed rate basis (“Fixed Rate Note”), a
Note bearing interest on a floating rate basis (“Floating Rate Note”), a Note
issued on a non-interest bearing basis (“Zero Coupon Note”), a Note with respect
to which interest is calculated by reference to an index and/or a formula
(“Index Linked Interest Note”) or any combination of the foregoing, depending
upon the Interest Basis specified in the applicable Final Terms. This Note
may
be a Note with respect to which principal is calculated by reference to an
index
and/or a formula (“Index Linked Redemption Note”), a Note redeemable in
installments (“Installment Note”), a Note with respect to which principal and/or
interest is payable in one or more Specified Currencies other than the Specified
Currency in which it is denominated (“Dual Currency Note”), a Note which is
issued on a partly paid basis (“Partly Paid Note”) or a combination of any of
the foregoing, depending on the Redemption/Payment Basis shown in the applicable
Final Terms. (Where appropriate in the context, “Index Linked Interest Notes”
and “Index Linked Redemption Notes” are referred to collectively as “Index
Linked Notes”.) The appropriate provisions of these Terms and Conditions will
apply accordingly.
Notes
in definitive form are issued with Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon
Notes in which case references to interest (other than interest due after the
Maturity Date), Coupons and Couponholders in these Terms and Conditions are
not
applicable. Wherever Dual Currency Notes or Index Linked Notes are issued to
bear interest on a fixed or floating rate basis or on a non-interest bearing
basis, the provisions in these Terms and Conditions relating to Fixed Rate
Notes, Floating Rate Notes and Zero Coupon Notes, respectively, shall, where
the
context so admits, apply to such Dual Currency Notes or Index Linked
Notes.
Except
as set out below, title to the Notes, Receipts and Coupons will pass by
delivery. The holder of each Coupon or Receipt, whether or not such Coupon
or
Receipt is attached to a Note, in his capacity as such, shall be subject to
and
bound by all the provisions contained in the relevant Note. TMCC and any Paying
Agent may deem and treat the bearer of any Note, Receipt or Coupon as the
absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice
to
the contrary, including any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice
of
any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any
global Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next succeeding
paragraph.
For
so long as any of the Notes are represented by a global Note, each person who
is
for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream,
Luxembourg as the holder of a particular principal amount of Notes other than
a
clearing agency (including Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear) that is itself
an account holder of Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear (in which regard
any
certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
as
to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes except in the case of manifest error)
shall be treated by TMCC, the Agent and any other Paying Agent as the holder
of
such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect
to
the payment of principal (including premium (if any)) or interest on the Notes,
the right to which shall be vested, as against TMCC, the Agent and any other
Paying Agent solely in the bearer of the relevant global Note in accordance
with
and subject to its terms (and the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes”
and related expressions shall be construed accordingly). Notes which are
represented by a global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the
rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear or of Clearstream,
Luxembourg, as the case may be.
A-3
Any
reference herein to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever
the
context so permits, except in relation to Notes in new global note (“NGN”) form,
be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearance
system approved by TMCC and the Agent.
If
the Specified Currency of this Note is a currency of one of the member states
of
the European Union which has not adopted the euro, and if specified in the
applicable Final Terms, this Note shall permit redenomination and exchange
(as
referenced in Condition 17 below or in such other manner as set forth in the
applicable Final Terms) at the option of TMCC.
2. Status
of the Notes and the Credit Support Agreements
The
Notes will be unsecured general obligations of TMCC and will rank pari
passu
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness for borrowed money
of
TMCC from time to time outstanding. Holders of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons
have the benefits of the credit support agreements governed by Japanese law,
one
between TMC and TFS dated July 14, 2000 and the other between TFS and TMCC
dated October 1, 2000.
3. Further
Issues
If
indicated in the applicable Final Terms, TMCC may from time to time, without
the
consent of the holders of Notes, Receipts or Coupons of a Series, create and
issue further Notes of the same Series having the same terms and conditions
as
the Notes (or the same terms and conditions save for the first payment of
interest thereon and the Issue Date thereof) so that the same shall be
consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding Notes and
references in the Terms and Conditions to “Notes” shall be construed
accordingly.
4. Interest
(a) Interest
on Fixed Rate Notes and Business Day Convention for Notes other than Floating
Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes
Each
Fixed Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount (or if it
is a
Partly Paid Note, the amount paid up) from (and including) the Interest
Commencement Date which is specified in the applicable Final Terms (or the
Issue
Date, if no Interest Commencement Date is separately specified) to but excluding
the Maturity Date specified in the applicable Final Terms at the rate(s) per
annum equal to the Fixed Rate(s) of Interest specified in the applicable Final
Terms payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year and on
the
Maturity Date so specified if it does not fall on an Interest Payment Date.
Except as provided in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest payable
on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending
on
such date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount as specified in the applicable
Final Terms. Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so
specified in the applicable Final Terms, amount to the Broken Amount(s) so
specified. As used in these Terms and Conditions, “Fixed Interest Period” means
the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest
Commencement Date or Issue Date, as applicable) to (but excluding) the next
(or
first) Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.
A-4
Unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the “Following Business Day
Convention” will apply to the payment of all Notes other than Floating Rate
Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes, meaning that if the Interest Payment
Date
or Maturity Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day
(as
defined in Condition 4(b)(i) below), the related payment of principal or
interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date
such payment was due. If the “Modified Following Business Day Convention” is
specified in the applicable Final Terms for any Note (other than a Floating
Rate
Note or an Index Linked Interest Note), it shall mean that if the Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a
Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(b)(i) below), the related payment
of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as
if
made on the date such payment was due unless it would thereby fall into the
next
calendar month in which event the full amount of payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day as if made on the day such payment was due.
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest
due shall not be changed if payment is made on a day other than an Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date as a result of the application of a Business
Day Convention specified above or other Business Day Convention specified in
the
applicable Final Terms.
If
interest is required to be calculated for a period ending other than on an
Interest Payment Date (which for this purpose shall not include a period where
a
payment is made on a day other than an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date as a result of the application of a Business Day Convention as provided
in
the immediately preceding paragraph, unless specified otherwise in the
applicable Final Terms) or for Broken Amounts, such interest shall be calculated
by applying the Fixed Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination,
multiplying such sum by the applicable Fixed Day Count Fraction or other Day
Count Fraction specified in the Final Terms, and rounding the resultant figure
to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such
sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market
convention.
In
these Conditions, “Fixed Day Count Fraction” means (unless specified otherwise
in the applicable Final Terms):
(1) if
“Actual/Actual (ICMA)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms,
(x)
if the number of days in the relevant period from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to but
excluding the relevant payment date (the “Accrual Period”) is equal to or
shorter than the Determination Period (as defined below) during which the
Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the
product of (i) the number of days in such Determination Period and
(ii) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar
year assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year;
or
A-5
(y)
if the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which
the
Accrual Period ends, the sum of:
(i) the
number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in
which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (A) the number of
days in such Determination Period and (B) the number of Determination Dates
that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest was to be payable in
respect of the whole of that year; and
(ii) the
number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period
divided by the product of (A) the number of days in such Determination
Period and (B) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one
calendar year assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of
that year;
(2) if
“Actual/Actual (ISDA)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual
number of days in the relevant period from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date or Issue
Date, as applicable) to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date
divided by 365 (or, if any portion of that period falls in a leap year, the
sum
of (x) the actual number of days in that portion of the period falling in a
leap year divided by 366; and (y) the actual number of days in that portion

be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months, without
regard to the date of the first day or last day of the Accrual Period unless,
in
the case of an Accrual Period ending on the Maturity Date, the Maturity Date
is
the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February
shall
not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month); and
“sub-unit”
means, with respect to any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such
currency that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency
and,
with respect to euro, means one cent; and
“Determination
Period” means the period from (and including) a Determination Date (as specified
in the applicable Final Terms) to (but excluding) the next Determination Date

after, such date).
A-6
(b)
Interest on Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest
Notes
(i)
Interest Payment Dates
Each
Floating Rate Note and Index Linked Interest Note bears interest on its
outstanding nominal amount (or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, the amount paid
up)
from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date specified in the applicable
Final Terms (or the Issue Date, if no Interest Commencement Date is separately
specified) and, unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, such
interest will be payable in arrears on the Maturity Date and on
either:
(A) the
Specified Interest Payment Date(s) (each, together with the Maturity Date,
an
“Interest Payment Date”) in each year specified in the applicable Final Terms;
or
(B) if
no Specified Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the applicable Final
Terms, each date (each, together with the Maturity Date, an “Interest Payment
Date”) which falls the number of months or other period specified as the
Specified Period in the applicable Final Terms after the preceding Interest
Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the
Interest Commencement Date or Issue Date, as applicable.
Such
interest will be payable in respect of each Interest Period. As used in these
Terms and Conditions, “Interest Period” means the period from (and including) an
Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date or Issue Date, as
applicable) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date).
If
a Business Day Convention is specified in the applicable Final Terms and
(x) if there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in
which an Interest Payment Date should occur or (y) if any Interest Payment
Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined
below), then, if the Business Day Convention specified is:
(1) in
any case where Specified Periods are specified in accordance with Condition
4(b)(i)(B) above, the Floating Rate Convention, such Interest Payment Date
(i) in the case of (x) above, shall be the last day that is a Business
Day in the relevant month and the provisions of (B) below in this
subparagraph (1) shall apply mutatis mutandis or (ii) in the case of
(y) above, shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day
unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event
(A) such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately
preceding Business Day and (B) each subsequent Interest Payment Date shall
be the last Business Day in the month which falls the Specified Period after
the
preceding applicable Interest Payment Date occurred; or
(2) the
Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed
to the next day which is a Business Day; or

(3) the
Modified Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall
be
postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall
into the next calendar month, in which event such Interest Payment Date shall
be
brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; or
(4) the
Preceding Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be brought
forward to the immediately preceding Business Day.
If
the accrual periods for calculating the amount of interest due on any Interest
Payment Date are not to be changed even though an Interest Payment Date is
changed because the originally scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day
which is not a Business Day (as defined below), this will be specified in the
Final Terms by the notation “no adjustment for period end dates.”
In
these Conditions, “Business Day” means (unless otherwise stated in the
applicable Final Terms) a day which is both:
(A) a
day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and
are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and
foreign currency deposits) in London and any other Applicable Business Center
specified in the applicable Final Terms; and
(B) either
(1) in relation to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than
euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle
payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign
exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial center of
the
country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London and any other
Applicable Business Center specified in the applicable Final Terms), or
(2) in relation to Notes denominated in euro, a day on which the
Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System
(the
“TARGET system”) is open. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final
Terms, the principal financial center of any country for the purpose of these
Terms and Conditions shall be as provided in the 2000 ISDA Definitions, (each
as
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.), as
amended and updated as of the first Issue Date of the Notes of this Series
(the
“ISDA Definitions”) (except in the case of New Zealand and Australia, where the
principal financial center will be as specified in the Final
Terms).
(ii)
Rate of Interest
The
Rate of Interest payable from time to time in respect of each Series of Floating
Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes shall be determined in the manner
specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(iii)
ISDA Determination
A-8
(A) Unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, where ISDA Determination
is
specified in the applicable Final Terms as the manner in which the Rate of

will
be the relevant ISDA Rate plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Final
Terms) the Margin (if any) as determined by the Agent (or such other Calculation
Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms). For the purposes of this
sub-paragraph (A) unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms,
“ISDA Rate” for an Interest Period means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that
would be determined under an interest rate swap transaction for that swap
transaction under the terms of an agreement (regardless of any event of default
or termination event thereunder) incorporating the ISDA Definitions with the
holder of the relevant Note and under which:
(1) the

(8) the
Margin is the “Spread”;
(9) the
relevant Reset Date is either (i) if the applicable Floating Rate Option is
based on the London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or on the Euro-zone
inter-bank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) for a currency, the first day of that
Interest Period or (ii) in any other case, as specified in the applicable
Final Terms; and
(10) all
other terms are as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(B) When
Condition 4(b)(iii)(A) applies, unless specified otherwise in the applicable
Final Terms with respect to each relevant Interest Payment Date:
(1) the
amount of interest determined for such Interest Payment Date shall be the
Interest Amount for the relevant Interest Period for the purposes of these
Terms
and Conditions as though calculated under Condition 4(b)(vi) below;
and
(2) (i) “Floating
Rate”, “Floating Rate Option”, “Floating Rate Payer”, “Effective Date”,
“Notional Amount”, “Floating Rate Payer Payment Dates”, “Spread”, “Calculation
Agent”, “Designated Maturity” and “Reset Date” have the meanings given to those
terms in the ISDA Definitions; and (ii) ”Euro-zone” means the region
comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency
in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Communities, as amended
by the Treaty on European Union (the “Treaty”).

Determination is specified in the applicable Final Terms as the manner in which
the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest
Period will, subject as provided below, be either:
(x) the
offered quotation; or
(y) the
arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the fifth decimal place with 0.000005
being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations,
(expressed
as a percentage rate per annum), for the Reference Rate (as specified in the
applicable Final Terms) which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the
Relevant Screen Page (as set forth in the applicable Final Terms) as at
11:00 a.m. (London time, in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time, in the
case of EURIBOR) on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) in
question plus or minus (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) the Margin
(if any), all as determined by the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent
specified in the applicable Final Terms). Unless specified otherwise in the
applicable Final Terms, if five or more of such offered quotations are available
on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than one such
highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there
is
more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations) shall be
disregarded by the Agent for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean
(rounded as provided above) of such offered quotations. In
addition:
(A) unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms if, in the case of
(x) above, no such rate appears or, in the case of (y) above, fewer
than two of such offered rates appear at such time or if the offered rate or
rates which appears or appear, as the case may be, as at such time do not apply
to a period of a duration equal to the relevant Interest Period, the Rate of
Interest for such Interest Period shall, subject as provided below and except
as
otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms, be the arithmetic mean

(as specified in the applicable Final Terms) the Margin (if any), all as
determined by the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified in the
applicable Final Terms);
(B) except
as otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms, if on any Interest
Determination Date to which Condition 4(b)(iv)(A) applies two or three only
of
the Reference Banks advise the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified

for the next Interest Period shall, subject as provided below, be determined
as
in Condition 4(b)(iv)(A) on the basis of the rates of those Reference Banks
advising such offered quotations;
A-10
(C) except
as otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms, if on any Interest
Determination Date to which Condition 4(b)(iv)(A) applies one only or none
of
the Reference Banks advises the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified
in the applicable Final Terms) of such rates, the Rate of Interest for the
next
Interest Period shall, subject as provided below and except as otherwise
indicated in the applicable Final Terms, be whichever is the higher
of:
(1) the
Rate of Interest in effect for the last preceding Interest Period to which
Condition 4(b)(iv)(A) shall have applied (plus or minus (as specified in
the applicable Final Terms), where a different Margin is to be applied to the
next Interest Period than that which applied to the last preceding Interest
Period, the Margin relating to the next Interest Period in place of the Margin
relating to the last preceding Interest Period); or
(2) the
reserve interest rate (the “Reserve Interest Rate”) which shall be the rate per
annum which the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified in the
applicable Final Terms) determines to be either (x) the arithmetic mean
(rounded, if necessary, to the fifth decimal place with 0.000005 being rounded
upwards) of the lending rates for the Specified Currency which banks selected
by
the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final
Terms) in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified
Currency (which, if Australian dollars, shall be Sydney, if New Zealand dollars,
shall be Auckland and if euro, shall be London, unless specified otherwise
in
the applicable Final Terms) are quoting on the relevant Interest Determination
Date for the next Interest Period to the Reference Banks or those of them (being
at least two in number) to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the
Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms),
being so made plus or minus (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) the
Margin (if any), or (y) in the event that the Agent (or such other
Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms) can determine no
such
arithmetic mean, the lowest lending rate for the Specified Currency which banks
selected by the Agent (or such other Calculation Agent specified in the
applicable Final Terms) in the principal financial center of the country of
the
Specified Currency (which, if Australian dollars, shall be Sydney, if New
Zealand dollars, shall be Auckland and if euro, shall be London, unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms) are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks for the next Interest Period plus
or minus (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) the Margin (if any),
provided that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Agent (or such other
Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms) are not quoting
as
mentioned above, the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate of Interest specified
in
(1) above;
(D) the
expression “Reference Screen Page” means such page, whatever its designation, on
which the Reference Rate that is for the time being displayed on the Reuters
Monitor Money Rates Service or Dow Xxxxx Markets Limited or other such service,

Currency other than Sterling or euro, the second Banking Day in London prior
to
the commencement of the relevant Interest Period and, in the case of
Condition 4(b)(iv)(A), the second Banking Day in the principal financial
center of the country of the Specified Currency (which, if Australian dollars,
shall be Sydney, if New Zealand dollars, shall be Auckland and if euro, shall
be
London) prior to the commencement of the relevant Interest Period; (y) with
respect to Notes denominated in Sterling, the first Banking Day in London of
the
relevant Interest Period; and (z) with respect to Notes denominated in
euro, the second day on which the TARGET system is open prior to the
commencement of the relevant Interest Period.

If
the applicable Final Terms specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount
for any Interest Period, then in no event shall the Rate of Interest/Interest
Amount for such Interest Period be less than such Minimum Rate of
Interest/Interest Amount. If the applicable Final Terms specifies a Maximum
Rate
of Interest/Interest Amount for any Interest Period, then in no event shall
the
Rate of Interest/Interest Amount for such Interest Period be greater than such
Maximum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount.
(vi)
Determination of Rate of Interest and calculation of Interest
Amount
The
Agent (or, if the Agent is not the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent
specified in the applicable Final Terms) will, at or as soon as practicable
after each time at which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, determine
the
Rate of Interest (subject to any Minimum or Maximum Rate of Interest/Interest
Amount specified in the applicable Final Terms) and calculate the amount of
interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable on the Floating Rate Notes or Index
Linked Interest Notes in respect of each Specified Denomination for the relevant
Interest Period. Each Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate
of Interest to each Specified Denomination, multiplying such product by the
applicable Day Count Fraction, as specified in the applicable Final Terms,
and
rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified
Currency, half of any sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance
with applicable market convention or as specified in the applicable Final

“30/360”, “360/360” or “Bond Basis” is specified in the applicable Final Terms,
the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360 (the number of days
to
be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months

but the first day of the Interest Period is a day other than the 30th or 31st
day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not
be
considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (b) the last day of the
Interest Period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the
month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day
month);
(v) if
“30E/360” or “Eurobond Basis” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the

of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month);
and
(vi) if
“Sterling/FRN” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in
the Interest Period divided by 365 or, in the case of an Interest Payment Date

Agent will notify or cause to be notified TMCC and any stock exchange on which
the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are listed
of
the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period and
the
relevant Interest Payment Date and will cause the same to be published in
accordance with Condition 16 as soon as possible after their determination
but
in no event later than the fourth London Business Day after their determination.
Each Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently
be
amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment)
without publication as aforesaid or prior notice in the event of an extension
or
shortening of the Interest Period in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Each
stock exchange on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked
Interest Notes are for the time being listed will be promptly notified of any
such amendment. For the purposes of this subparagraph (vii), the expression
“London Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which

Agent, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error)
be
binding on TMCC, the Agent, the Calculation Agent, the other Paying Agents
and
all Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders and (in the absence as
aforesaid) no liability to TMCC, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the
Couponholders shall attach to the Agent or the Calculation Agent in connection
with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions
pursuant to such provisions.
(ix)
Limitations on Interest
In
addition to any Maximum Rate of Interest which may be applicable to any Floating
Rate Note or Index Linked Interest Notes pursuant to Condition
4(b)(v) above, the interest rate on Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked
Interest Notes shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted
by
New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general
application.
(x)
Indexed Linked Interest Notes
In
the case of Indexed Notes where the rate of interest is to be determined by
reference to the Index and or the Formula, the rate of interest shall be
determined in accordance with the Index and/or the Formula and in the manner
specified in the applicable Final Terms. The date on which the interest rate
is
to be determined (the “Interest Determination Date”) shall be as set forth in
the Final Terms.

Index Linked Notes and Dual Currency Notes
In
the case of Index Linked Notes or Dual Currency Notes, if the Rate of Interest
or Interest Amount cannot be determined by reference to an index and/or a

at a rate per annum equal to the Accrual Yield set forth in the applicable
Final
Terms.
(e)
Partly Paid Notes
TMCC
may issue Notes where the issue price is payable in more than one installment
and which therefore remain partly paid (“Partly Paid Notes”). In the case of
Partly Paid Notes (other than Partly Paid Notes which are Zero Coupon Notes),
interest will accrue as aforesaid on the paid up nominal amount of such Notes
and otherwise as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(f)
Accrual of Interest
Each
Note (or in the case of the redemption in part only of a Note, such part to
be
redeemed) will cease to bear interest (if any) from the due date for its
redemption unless, upon due presentation thereof, payment of principal is
improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue
(as well after as before judgment) until whichever is the earlier of
(i) the day on which all sums due in respect of such Note up to that day
are received by or on behalf of the holder of such Note; and (ii) the day
on which the Agent has notified the holder thereof (either in accordance with
Condition 16 or individually) of receipt of all sums due in respect thereof
up
to that date.
5.
Redemption and Purchase
(a)
At Maturity
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms and unless previously redeemed
or purchased and cancelled as specified below, Notes will be redeemed by TMCC
at
their Final Redemption Amount specified in, or determined in the manner
specified in, the applicable Final Terms in the relevant Specified Currency
on
the Maturity Date specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(b)
Redemption for Tax Reasons
TMCC
may redeem the Notes of this Series as a whole but not in part at any time
at
their Early Redemption Amount, together, if appropriate, with accrued interest
to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, if TMCC shall determine that
as
a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or
rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States of America or of any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation,
or any change in application or official interpretation of such laws,
regulations or rulings, which amendment or change is effective on or after
the
latest Issue Date of the Notes of this Series, TMCC would be required to pay
Additional Amounts, as provided in Condition 9, on the occasion of the next
payment due in respect of the Notes of this Series.
The
Notes of this Series are also subject to redemption as a whole but not in part
in the other circumstances described in Condition 9.
Notice
of intention to redeem Notes will be given at least once in accordance with
Condition 16 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall
be
given earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of such change or
amendment and that at the time notice of such redemption is given, such
obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. From and after
any
redemption date, if monies for the redemption of Notes shall have been made
available for redemption on such redemption date, such Notes shall cease to
bear
interest, if applicable, and the only right of the holders of such Notes and
any
Receipts or Coupons appertaining thereto shall be to receive payment of the
Early Redemption Amount and, if appropriate, all unpaid interest accrued to
such
redemption date.
A-15
(c)
Final Terms
The
Final Terms applicable to the Notes of this Series shall indicate
either:
(i) that
the Notes of this Series cannot be redeemed prior to their Maturity Date (except
as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) above and in Condition 13);
or
(ii) that
such Notes will be redeemable at the option of TMCC and /or the holders of
the
Notes prior to such Maturity Date in accordance with the provisions of
paragraphs (d) and/or (e) below on the date or dates and at the amount
or amounts indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
(d) Redemption
at the Option of TMCC (“Call Option”)
If
so specified in the applicable Final Terms, TMCC may, having given:
(i) not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days notice to the holders of the Notes of
this Series in accordance with Condition 16, or such other notice as is
specified in the applicable Final Terms; and
(ii) not
less than 5 days before the date the notice referred to in (i) is
required to be given (or such other notice as is specified in the applicable
Final Terms), notice to the Agent;
(which
notices shall be irrevocable), repay all or some only of the Notes of this
Series then outstanding on the Optional Redemption Date(s) and at the Optional
Redemption Amount(s) indicated in the applicable Final Terms together, if
appropriate, with accrued interest. In the event of a redemption of some only
of
such Notes of this Series, such redemption must be for an amount being the
Minimum Redemption Amount or a Maximum Redemption Amount, as indicated in the
applicable Final Terms. In the case of a partial redemption of definitive Notes
of this Series, the Notes of this Series to be repaid will be selected
individually by lot not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption and a list of the Notes of this Series called for redemption will
be
published in accordance with Condition 16 not less than 30 days prior to
such date, or such other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms.
In the case of a partial redemption of Notes which are represented by a global
Note, the relevant Notes will be redeemed in accordance with the rules of
Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (to be reflected in the records of
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as either a pool factor or a reduction
in
nominal amount, at their discretion). Unless specified otherwise in the
applicable Final Terms, if an Optional Redemption Date would otherwise fall
on a
day which is not a Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(b)(i)), it shall
be
subject to adjustment in accordance with the Business Day Convention applicable
to the Notes or such other Business Day Convention specified in the applicable
Final Terms.
A-16
(e)
Redemption at the Option of the Noteholders (“Put Option”)
Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Notes will not be subject
to repayment at the option of the Noteholders. If the Notes are subject to
repayment at the option of the Noteholders, Noteholders must give TMCC not
less
than five business days prior notice of the exercise of the Put Option (or
such
greater period of notice as is specified in the applicable Final Terms), and
the
Notes shall be subject to repayment on the Optional Redemption Date(s) and
at
the Optional Redemption Amount(s) indicated in the applicable Final Terms
together, if appropriate, with accrued interest. The other terms of any such
Put
Option shall be set forth in the applicable Final Terms.
(f)
Early Redemption Amounts
For
the purposes of paragraph (b) above and Condition 13, Notes will be
redeemed at an amount (the “Early Redemption Amount”) calculated as
follows:
(i) in
the case of Notes with a Final Redemption Amount equal to the Issue Price,
at
the Final Redemption Amount thereof; or
(ii) in
the case of Notes (other than Zero Coupon Notes) with a Final Redemption Amount
which is or may be greater or less than the Issue Price or which is payable
in a
Specified Currency other than that in which the Notes are denominated, at the
amount set out in, or determined in the manner set out in, the applicable Final
Terms or, if no such amount or manner is set out in the applicable Final Terms,
at their nominal amount; or
(iii) in
the case of Zero Coupon Notes, at an amount (the “Amortized Face Amount”) equal
to:
(A) the
sum of (x) the Reference Price specified in the applicable Final Terms and
(y) the product of the Accrual Yield specified in the applicable Final
Terms (compounded annually) being applied to the Reference Price from (and
including) the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes to (but excluding)
the date fixed for redemption or (as the case may be) the date upon which such
Note becomes due and repayable; or
(B) if
the amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note upon redemption of such
Zero Coupon Note pursuant to paragraph (b) above or upon its becoming due
and repayable as provided in Condition 13 is not paid or available for payment
when due, the amount due and repayable in respect of such Zero Coupon Note
shall
be the Amortized Face Amount of such Zero Coupon Note calculated as provided
above as though the references in sub-paragraph (A) to the date fixed for
redemption or the date upon which the Zero Coupon Note becomes due and repayable
were replaced by references to the date (the “Reference Date”) which is the
earlier of:
A-17
(1) the
date on which all amounts due in respect of the Note have been paid;
and
(2) the
date on which the full amount of the moneys repayable has been received by
the
Agent and notice to that effect has been given in accordance with Condition
16.
The
calculation of the Amortized Face Amount in accordance with this
sub-paragraph (B) will continue to be made, after as well as before
judgment, until the Reference Date unless the Reference Date falls on or after
the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and repayable shall be the
nominal amount of such Note together with interest at a rate per annum equal
to
the Accrual Yield.
Unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, where any such calculation
is
to be made for a period which is not a whole number of years, it shall be made
(I) in the case of a Zero Coupon Note other than a Zero Coupon Note payable
in euro, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of
30 days each (or 365/366 days in the case of Notes denominated in
Sterling) and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed
or
(II) in the case of a Zero Coupon Note payable in euro, on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed divided by 365 (or, if any of the days elapsed
falls in a leap year, the sum of (x) the number of those days falling in a
leap year divided by 366 and (y) the number of those days falling in a
non-leap year divided by 365) or (in either case) on such other calculation
basis as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(g)
Installments
Any
Note which is repayable in installments will be redeemed in the Installment
Amounts and on the Installment Dates specified in the applicable Final
Terms.
(h)
Partly Paid Notes
If
the Notes are Partly Paid Notes, they will be redeemed, whether at maturity,
early redemption or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this
Condition 5 as amended or varied by the applicable Final Terms.
(i)
Purchases
TMCC
may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Notes in the open market or
otherwise at any price. If purchases are made by tender, tenders must be
available to all holders of Notes of a Series alike.
A-18
(j)
Cancellation, Resale or Reissuance at the Option of TMCC
All
Notes redeemed shall be, and all Notes purchased or otherwise acquired as
aforesaid (together, in the case of definitive Notes, with all unmatured Coupons
or Receipts attached thereto or purchased or acquired therewith) may, at the
option of TMCC, either be (i) resold or reissued, or held by TMCC for
subsequent resale or reissuance, or (ii) cancelled, in which event such
Notes, Receipts and Coupons may not be resold or reissued.
6.
Payments
(a)
Method of Payment
Subject
as provided below, payments in a currency other than euro will be made by
transfer to an account in the Specified Currency (which, in the case of a
payment in Yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account)
maintained by the payee with, or by a check in the Specified Currency drawn
on,
a bank (which, in the case of a payment in Yen to a non-resident of Japan,
shall
be an authorized foreign exchange bank) in the principal financial center of
the
country of such Specified Currency (which, if Australian dollars, shall be
Sydney and if New Zealand dollars, shall be Auckland), unless specified
otherwise in the applicable Final Terms.
Payments
in euro will be made by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other
account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee
or
by euro check.
Notwithstanding
the above provisions of this Condition 6(a), a check may not be delivered to
an
address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located
in, the United States of America or its possessions by any office or agency
of
TMCC, the Agent or any Paying Agent, except as provided in Condition 6(b).
Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and
regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, but without prejudice
to
the provisions of Condition 9.
(b)
Presentation of Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons
Payments
of principal in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below)
be
made in the Specified Currency in the manner provided in paragraph (a)
against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of a sum
due
only, endorsement) of definitive Notes and payments of interest in respect
of
the definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the Specified
Currency in the manner provided in paragraph (a) against presentation and
surrender (or, in the case of part payment of a sum due only, endorsement)
of
Coupons, in each case at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the
United States of America and its possessions.
In
the case of definitive Notes, payments of principal with respect to installments
(if any), other than the final installment, will (subject as provided below)
be
made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) against presentation and
surrender (or, in the case of part payment of a sum due only, endorsement)
of
the relevant Receipt. Each Receipt must be presented for payment of the relevant
installment together with the relevant definitive Note against which the amount
will be payable with respect to that installment. If any definitive Note is
redeemed or becomes repayable prior to the stated Maturity Date, principal
will
be payable in the manner provided in paragraph (a) on presentation and
surrender of such definitive Note together with all unmatured Receipts
appertaining thereto. Receipts presented without the definitive Note to which
they appertain and unmatured Receipts do not constitute valid obligations of
TMCC. Upon the date on which any definitive Note becomes due and repayable,
unmatured Receipts (if any) appertaining thereto (whether or not attached)
shall
become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.
Upon
the date on which any Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form (other than Dual
Currency Notes or Index Linked Notes) become due and repayable, such Notes
should be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining
thereto (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons to be issued
on
exchange of matured Talons) failing which the amount of any missing unmatured
Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, the same proportion
of the aggregate amount of such missing unmatured Coupon as the sum so paid
bears to the sum due) will be deducted from the sum due for payment. Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, each amount of principal
so
deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of the
related missing Coupon at any time before the expiry of five years after the
Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 15) in respect of such principal
(whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void under Condition
15). Upon any Fixed Rate Note becoming due and repayable prior to its Maturity
Date, all unmatured Talons (if any) appertaining thereto will become void and
no
further Coupons will be issued in respect thereof.
Upon
the date on which any Floating Rate Note, Dual Currency Note or Index Linked
Note in definitive form becomes due and repayable, all unmatured Coupons and
Talons (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void
and
no payment or, as the case may be, exchange for further Coupons, shall be made
in respect thereof.
A-19
If
the due date for redemption of any Note in definitive form is not an Interest
Payment Date, interest (if any) accrued with respect to such Note from and
including the preceding Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, the
Interest Commencement Date or Issue Date (as applicable) shall be payable only
against surrender of the relevant definitive Note.
Payments
of principal and interest (if any) in respect of Notes of this Series
represented by any global Note will (subject as provided below) be made in
the
manner specified above and otherwise in the manner specified in the relevant
global Note (against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such
global Note if the permanent global Note is not intended to be issued in NGN
form) at the specified office of any Paying Agent located outside the United
States except as provided below. A record of each payment made against
presentation or surrender of such global Note, distinguishing between any
payment of principal and any payment of interest, will be made on such global
Note by the Agent and such record shall be prima facie evidence that the payment
in question has been made.
The
holder of the relevant global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive
payments in respect of Notes represented by such global Note and TMCC will
be
discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of such global Note
with respect to each amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records
of
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular
nominal amount of Notes must look solely to Euroclear and /or Clearstream,
Luxembourg, as the case may be, for his share of each payment so made by TMCC
to, or to the order of, the holder of the relevant global Note. No person other
than the holder of the relevant global Note shall have any claim against TMCC
in
respect of payments due on that global Note.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, payments in respect of the Notes may be made at the specified
office of a Paying Agent in the United States (which expression, as used herein,
means the United States of America (including the States and the District of
Columbia), its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its
jurisdiction) only if:
(i) TMCC
has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States
with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make
payments in U.S. dollars at such specified offices outside the United States
of
the full amount owing in respect of the Notes in the manner provided above
when
due;
(ii) payment
of the full amount owing in respect of the Notes at all such specified offices
outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by the imposition
of exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or
receipt of interest in U.S. dollars; and
(iii) such
payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the
opinion of TMCC, adverse tax consequences to TMCC.
A-20
(c) Payment
Business Day
Unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, if the date for payment
of
any amount in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a Payment Business
Day in a place of presentation, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to
payment until the next Payment Business Day in the relevant place and shall
not
be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such delay.
For
these purposes, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms,
“Payment Business Day” means any day which is:
(i) a
day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and
are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign
currency deposits) in:
(A) the
relevant place of presentation;
(B) London;
and
(C) any
other Applicable Business Center specified in the applicable Final Terms;
and
(ii) either
(A) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro,
a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and
are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and
foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial center of the country
of
the relevant Specified Currency (if other than the place of presentation, London
and any other Applicable Business Center and which if the Specified Currency
is
Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars shall be Sydney or Auckland,
respectively, unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms) or
(B) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET
system is open.
A-21
(d) Conversion
into Euro
Unless
specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, if TMCC is due to make a
payment in a currency (the “original currency”) other than euro in respect of
any Note, Coupon or Receipt and the original currency is not available on the
foreign exchange markets due to the imposition of exchange controls, the
original currency’s replacement or disuse or other circumstances beyond TMCC’s
control, TMCC will be entitled to satisfy its obligations in respect of such
payment by making payment in euro on the basis of the spot exchange rate (the
“Euro FX Rate”) at which the original currency is offered in exchange for euro
in the London foreign exchange market (or, at the option of TMCC or its
designated calculation agent, in the foreign exchange market of any other
financial center which is then open for business) at noon, London time, two
Business Days prior to the date on which payment is due or, if the Euro FX
Rate
is not available on that date, on the basis of a substitute exchange rate
determined by TMCC or by its designated calculation agent acting in its absolute
discretion from such source(s) and at such time as it may select. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Euro FX Rate or substitute exchange rate as aforesaid
may be such that the resulting euro amount is zero and in such event no amount
of euro or the original currency will be payable. Any payment made in euro
or
non-payment in accordance with this paragraph will not constitute an Event
of
Default.
(e)
Interpretation of Principal and Interest
Any
reference in these Terms and Conditions to principal in respect of the Notes
shall be deemed to include, as applicable:
(i) any
Additional Amounts which may be payable under Condition 9 in respect of
principal;
(ii) the
Final Redemption Amount of the Notes;
(iii) the
Early Redemption Amount of the Notes;
(iv) in
relation to Notes redeemable in installments, the Installment
Amounts;
(v) any
premium and any other amounts which may be payable under or in respect of the
Notes;
(vi) in
relation to Zero Coupon Notes, the Amortized Face Amount; and
(vii) the
Optional Redemption Amount(s) (if any) of the Notes.
Any
reference in these Terms and Conditions to interest in respect of the Notes
shall be deemed to include, as applicable, any Additional Amounts which may
be
payable under Condition 9, except as provided in clause (i)
above.
A-22

Agent and Paying Agents
The
names of the initial Agent and the other initial Paying Agent and their initial
specified offices are set out on the inside back cover page of the Offering
Circular. In acting under the Agency Agreement, the Agent and the Paying Agents
will act solely as agents of TMCC and do not assume any obligations or
relationships of agency or trust to or with the Noteholders, Receiptholders
or
Couponholders, except that (without affecting the obligations of TMCC to the
Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders to repay Notes and pay interest
thereon) funds received by the Agent for the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Notes shall be held in trust by it for the Noteholders and/or
Receiptholders and/or Couponholders until the expiration of the relevant period
of prescription under Condition 15. TMCC agrees to perform and observe the
obligations imposed upon it under the Agency Agreement and to use its best
efforts to cause the Agent and the Paying Agents to perform and observe the
obligations imposed upon them under the Agency Agreement. The Agency Agreement
contains provisions for the indemnification of the Agent and the Paying Agents
and for relief from responsibility in certain circumstances, and entitles any
of
them to enter into business transactions with TMCC without being liable to
account to the Noteholders, Receiptholders or the Couponholders for any
resulting profit.
TMCC
is entitled to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or any
other Paying Agent appointed under the terms of the Agency Agreement and/or
appoint additional or other Paying Agents and/or approve any change in the
specified office through which any Paying Agent acts, provided
that:
(i) so
long as the Notes of this Series are listed on any stock exchange, there will
at
all times be a Paying Agent with a specified office in each location required
by
the rules and regulations of the relevant stock exchange or listing
authority;
(ii) there
will at all times be a Paying Agent with a specified office in a city approved
by the Agent in continental Europe;
(iii) there
will at all times be an Agent; and
(iv) TMCC
undertakes that it will ensure that it maintains a Paying Agent in a Member
State of the European Union that is not obliged to withhold or deduct tax
pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such
Directive.
In
addition, with respect to Notes denominated in U.S. dollars, TMCC shall
forthwith appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City
in
the circumstances described in the final paragraph of Condition 6(b). Any
variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other
than
in the case of insolvency, when it shall be of immediate effect) after not
less
than 30 nor more than 45 days prior notice thereof has been given to the
Agent and the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16.
A-23
8.
Exchange of Talons
On
and after the Interest Payment Date on which the final Coupon comprised in
any
Coupon sheet matures, the Talon (if any) forming part of such Coupon sheet
may
be surrendered at the specified office of the Agent or any other Paying Agent
in
exchange for a further Coupon sheet including (if such further Coupon sheet
does
not include Coupons to, and including, the final date for the payment of
interest due in respect of the Note to which it appertains) a further Talon,
subject to the provisions of Condition 15. Each Talon shall, for the purposes
of
these Terms and Conditions, be deemed to mature on the Interest Payment Date
on
which the final Coupon comprised in the relative Coupon sheet
matures.
9.
Payment of Additional Amounts
Except
as specifically provided by this Condition 9, TMCC shall not be required to
make
any payment in respect of the Notes with respect to any tax, assessment or
other
governmental charge (“Tax”) imposed by any government or a political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein.
TMCC
will, subject to certain limitations and exceptions (set forth below), pay
to a
Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder who is a U.S. Alien (as defined below)
such amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that every net
payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons,
after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax imposed upon such
Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder, or by reason of the making of such
payment, by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided for in the Notes,
Receipts or Coupons. However, TMCC shall not be required to make any payment
of
Additional Amounts for or on account of:
(a) any
Tax which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any
present or former connection between such Noteholder, Receiptholder or
Couponholder or any beneficial owner of a Note, Receipt, or Coupon (or between
a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of
a
power over, such Noteholder, Receiptholder, Couponholder or beneficial owner,
if
such Noteholder, Receiptholder, Couponholder or beneficial owner is an estate,
trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States, including, without
limitation, being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or
having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having had
a
permanent establishment therein, or (ii) such Noteholder's,
Receiptholder's, Couponholder's or beneficial owner's past or present status

holding company, controlled foreign corporation or a private foundation (as
those terms are defined for United States tax purposes) or as a corporation
which accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
(b) any
estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar
Tax;
(c) any
Tax that would not have been so imposed but for the presentation of a Note,
Receipt or Coupon for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on
which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof
is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
A-24
(d) any
Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments
of
principal or interest in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons;
(e) any
Tax imposed on interest received or beneficially owned by (i) a 10%

extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary
course of its trade or business;
(f) any
Tax required to be withheld or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment
of
principal or interest in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon, if such payment
can be made without such withholding or deduction by any other Paying Agent
with
respect to the Notes;
(g) any
Tax which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with
certification, information, documentation, or other reporting requirements
concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United
States of the Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder or of the beneficial
owner of such Note, Receipt or Coupon, if such compliance is required by statute
or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department as a precondition
to
relief or exemption from such Tax;
(h) any
Tax imposed with respect to a payment on a Note, Receipt or Coupon to any
Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder who is a fiduciary or partnership
or
other than the sole beneficial owner of the Note, Receipt or Coupon to the
extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of
such
partnership or a beneficial owner of the Note, Receipt or Coupon would not
have
been entitled to payment of the Additional Amounts, had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of the Note, Receipt or
Coupon;
(i) any
Tax required to be withheld or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment
of
principal or interest in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon, where such
withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is
required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the
taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced to conform to, such Directive; or
A-25
(j) any
combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and
(i) above;
The
term “U.S. Alien” means any corporation, individual, fiduciary or partnership
that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a foreign corporation, nonresident
alien individual, nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust,
or
foreign partnership one or more members of which is a foreign corporation,
nonresident alien individual or nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate
or trust.
If
TMCC shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by TMCC
or
any of its Paying Agents of the full amount of the next scheduled payment of
either principal or interest due in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon
of
this Series would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United
States affecting taxation or otherwise, be subject to any certification,
information or other reporting requirements of any kind, the effect of which
requirements is the disclosure to TMCC, any of its Paying Agents or any
governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity (as
distinguished from status as a U.S. Alien) of a beneficial owner of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon who is a U.S. Alien (other than such requirements which
(i) would not be applicable to a payment made to a custodian, nominee or
other agent of the beneficial owner, or which can be satisfied by such a
custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial
owner is a U.S. Alien; provided, however, in each case that payment by such
custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject
to
any requirements referred to in this sentence, (ii) are applicable only to
payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to or
on
behalf of such beneficial owner, or (iii) would not be applicable to a
payment made by any other paying agent of TMCC), TMCC shall redeem the Notes
of
this Series as a whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to the Early
Redemption Amount together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption, such redemption to take place on
such
date not later than one year after the publication of notice of such
determination. If TMCC becomes aware of an event that might give rise to such
certification, information or other reporting requirements, TMCC shall, as
soon
as practicable, solicit advice of independent counsel selected by TMCC to
establish whether such certification, information or other reporting
requirements will apply and, if such requirements will apply, TMCC shall give
prompt notice of such determination (a “Tax Notice”) in accordance with
Condition 16 stating in such notice the effective date of such certification,
information or other reporting requirements and, if applicable, the date by
which the redemption shall take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TMCC
shall
not redeem Notes if TMCC shall subsequently determine not less than 30 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption that subsequent payments would not be
subject to any such requirements, in which case TMCC shall give prompt notice
of
such determination in accordance with Condition 16 and any earlier redemption
notice shall thereby be revoked and of no further effect.
A-26
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if and so long as the certification, information or other
reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, TMCC may
elect prior to publication of the Tax Notice to have the provisions described
in
this paragraph apply in lieu of the provisions described in the preceding
paragraph, in which case the Tax Notice shall state the effective date of such
certification, information or reporting requirements and that TMCC has elected
to pay Additional Amounts rather than redeem the Notes. In such event, TMCC
will
pay as Additional Amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net
payment made following the effective date of such certification, information
or
reporting requirements outside the United States by TMCC or any of its Paying
Agents of principal or interest due in respect of a Note, Receipt or Coupon
to a
holder who certifies to the effect that the beneficial owner of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon is a U.S. Alien (provided that such certification shall not
have the effect of communicating to TMCC or any of its Paying Agents or any
governmental authority the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial
owner), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup
withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or
similar charge which (i) is imposed as a result of certification,
information or other reporting requirements referred to in the second
parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph,
(ii) is imposed as a result of the fact that TMCC or any of its Paying
Agents has actual knowledge that the holder or beneficial owner of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon is not a U.S. Alien but is within the category of persons,
corporations or other entities described in clause (a)(i) of this
Condition 9, or (iii) is imposed as a result of presentation of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which
such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided
for in such Note, such Receipt or such Coupon to be then due and payable. In
the
event TMCC elects to pay such Additional Amounts, TMCC will have the right,
at
its sole option, at any time, to redeem the Notes of this Series, as a whole
but
not in part at a redemption price equal to their Early Redemption Amount,
together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption
including any Additional Amounts required to be paid under this paragraph.
If
TMCC has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph with
respect to certification, information or other reporting requirements applicable
to interest only and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of
the
nature referred to in such preceding paragraph with respect to such requirements
applicable to principal, TMCC will redeem the Notes of this Series in the manner
and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided
below), unless TMCC elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather
than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such
circumstances the Notes are to be redeemed, TMCC will be obligated to pay
Additional Amounts with respect to interest, if any, accrued to the date of
redemption. If TMCC has made the determination described in the preceding
paragraph and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of the nature
referred to in such preceding paragraph that the level of withholding applicable
to principal or interest has been increased, TMCC will redeem the Notes of
this
Series in the manner and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph
(except as provided below), unless TMCC elects to have the provisions of this
paragraph apply rather than the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph. If in such circumstances the Notes are to be redeemed, TMCC will
be
obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the original level of
withholding on principal and interest, if any, accrued to the date of
redemption.
10.
Negative Pledge
The
Notes will not be secured by any mortgage, pledge or other lien. TMCC shall
not
pledge or otherwise subject to any lien, any property or assets of TMCC to
secure any indebtedness for borrowed money incurred, issued, assumed or
guaranteed by TMCC unless the Notes are secured by the pledge or lien equally
and ratably with all other obligations secured thereby so long as such other
indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that such covenant will
not
apply to liens securing indebtedness which does not in the aggregate at any
one
time outstanding exceed 20 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as
defined below) of TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries and also does not
apply
to:
(a) the
pledge of any assets of TMCC to secure any financing by TMCC of the exporting
of
goods to or between, or the marketing thereof in, countries other than the
United States in connection with which TMCC reserves the right, in accordance
with customary and established banking practice, to deposit, or otherwise
subject to a lien, cash, securities or receivables, for the purpose of securing
banking accommodations or as the basis for the issuance of bankers' acceptances
or in aid of other similar borrowing arrangements;
(b) the
pledge of receivables payable in currencies other than United States dollars
to
secure borrowings in countries other than the United States;
(c) any
deposit of assets of TMCC in favor of any governmental bodies to secure
progress, advance or other payments under a contract or a statute;
A-27
(d) any
lien or charge on any property of TMCC, tangible or intangible, real or
personal, existing at the time of acquisition or construction of such property
(including acquisition through merger or consolidation) or given to secure
the
payment of all or any part of the purchase or construction price thereof or
to
secure any indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year
after, the acquisition or completion of construction thereof for the purpose
of
financing all or any part of the purchase or construction price
thereof;
(e) bankers'
lien or rights of offset;
(f) any
lien securing the performance of any contract or undertaking of TMCC not
directly or indirectly in connection with the borrowing of money, obtaining
of
advances or credit or the securing of debt, if made and continuing in the
ordinary course of business;
(g) any
lien to secure non-recourse obligations in connection with TMCC engaging in
leveraged or single-investor lease transactions;

lien to secure payment obligations with respect to (x) rate swap
transactions, swap options, basis swaps, forward rate transactions, commodity
swaps, commodity options, equity or equity index swaps, equity or equity index
options, bond options, interest rate options, foreign exchange transactions,
cap
transactions, floor transactions, collar transactions, currency swap
transactions, cross-currency rate swap transactions, currency options, credit
protection transactions, credit swaps, credit default swaps, credit default
options, total return swaps, credit spread transactions, repurchase
transactions, reverse repurchase transactions, buy/sell-back transactions,
securities lending transactions, weather index transactions, or forward
purchases or sales of a security, commodity or other financial instrument or
interest (including any option with respect to any of these transactions),
or
(y) transactions that are similar to those described above;
and
(i) any
extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or
replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien, charge or pledge referred
to in
clauses (a) through (h) above; provided, however, that the amount of
any and all obligations and indebtedness secured thereby will not exceed the
amount thereof so secured immediately prior to the time of such extension,
renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement will
be
limited to all or a part of the property which secured the charge or lien so
extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).
“Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets” means the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable
reserves and other properly deductible items) after deducting therefrom all
goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and
expense and other like intangibles of TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries,
all as set forth on the most recent balance sheet of TMCC and its consolidated
subsidiaries prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as practiced in the United States.
A-28
11.
Consolidation or Merger
TMCC
may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of
its
assets as an entirety to, or merge with or into any other corporation provided
that in any such case, (i) either TMCC shall be the continuing corporation,
or the successor corporation shall be a corporation organized and existing
under
the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and such successor
corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal
of and interest (including Additional Amounts as provided in Condition
9) on all the Notes, Receipts and Coupons, according to their tenor, and
the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Note to be performed by TMCC by an amendment to the Agency
Agreement executed by such successor corporation, TMCC and the Agent, and
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of
Default under Condition 13, and no event which, with notice or lapse of time
or
both, would become such an Event of Default shall have happened and be
continuing. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance
and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation, such successor
corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for TMCC, with the same effect
as if it had been named herein as TMCC, and the predecessor corporation, except
in the event of a conveyance by way of lease, shall be relieved of any further
obligation under this Note and the Agency Agreement.
12.
Meetings, Modifications and Waivers
The
Agency Agreement contains provisions which, unless otherwise provided in the
Final Terms, are binding on TMCC, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the
Couponholders, for convening meetings of holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons
to consider matters affecting their interests, including the modification or
waiver of the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Notes.
The
Agency Agreement, the Notes and any Receipts and Coupons attached to the Notes
may be amended by TMCC (and, in the case of the Agency Agreement, the Agent)
(i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or for curing, correcting or
supplementing any defective provision contained therein, or to evidence the
succession of another corporation to TMCC as provided in Condition 11,
(ii) to make any further modifications of the terms of the Agency Agreement
necessary or desirable to allow for the issuance of any additional Notes (which
modifications shall not be materially adverse to holders of outstanding Notes)
or (iii) in any manner which TMCC (and, in the case of the Agency
Agreement, the Agent) may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not
materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes, Receipts
and Coupons, to all of which each holder of Notes, Receipts and Coupons shall,
by acceptance thereof, consent. In addition, with the written consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding affected thereby, or by a resolution adopted by a majority
in
aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes affected thereby present
or
represented at a meeting of such holders at which a quorum is present, as
provided in the Agency Agreement (provided that such resolution shall be
approved by the holders of not less than 25 percent of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes affected thereby then outstanding), TMCC and the
Agent
may from time to time and at any time enter into agreements modifying or
amending the Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Notes, Receipts
and Coupons for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any provisions of the Agency Agreement or of modifying
in
any manner the rights of the holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons; provided,
however, that no such agreement shall, without the consent or the affirmative
vote of the holder of each Note affected thereby, (i) change the stated
maturity of the principal of or any installment of interest on any Note,
(ii) reduce the principal amount of or interest on any Note,
(iii) change the obligation of TMCC to pay Additional Amounts as provided
in Condition 9, (iv) reduce the percentage in principal amount of
outstanding Notes the consent of the holders of which is necessary to modify
or
amend the Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Notes or to waive
any future compliance or past default, or (v) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of the holders of which is
required at any meeting of holders of Notes at which a resolution is adopted.
The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding
or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding affected thereby and at any adjourned meeting will be one
or
more persons holding or representing 25 percent in aggregate principal
amount of such Notes at the time outstanding affected thereby. Any instrument
given by or on behalf of any holder of a Note in connection with any consent
to
any such modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and
will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent holders of such Note. Any
modifications, amendments or waivers to the Agency Agreement or to the terms
and
conditions of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be conclusive and binding
on
all holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons, whether or not they have given
such
consent or were present at any meeting, and whether or not notation of such
modifications, amendments or waivers is made upon the Notes, Receipts and
Coupons. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders of Notes
under
this Condition 12 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.
A-29
Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment to the Agency
Agreement, Notes, Receipts or Coupons may bear a notation in form approved
by
the Agent as to any matter provided for in such amendment to the Agency
Agreement.
New
Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Agent and TMCC, to any
modification contained in any such amendment may be prepared by TMCC,
authenticated by the Agent and delivered in exchange for the Notes then
outstanding.
For
the purposes of this Condition 12 and Condition 13 below, the term “outstanding”
means, in relation to the Notes, all Notes issued under the Agency Agreement
other than (i) those which have been redeemed in full in accordance with
the Agency Agreement or these Terms and Conditions, (ii) those in respect
of which the date for redemption in accordance with these Terms and Conditions
has occurred and the redemption moneys therefor (including all interest (if
any)
accrued thereon to the date for such redemption and any interest (if any)
payable under these Terms and Conditions after such date) have been duly paid
to
the Agent as provided in the Agency Agreement (and, where appropriate, notice
has been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16) and
remain available for payment against presentation of the Notes, (iii) those
which have become void under Condition 15, (iv) those which have been
purchased or otherwise acquired and cancelled as provided in Condition 5, and
those which have been purchased or otherwise acquired and are being held by
TMCC
for subsequent resale or reissuance as provided in Condition 5 during the time
so held, (v) those mutilated or defaced Notes which have been surrendered
in exchange for replacement Notes pursuant to Condition 14, (vi) (for the
purposes only of determining how many Notes are outstanding and without
prejudice to their status for any other purpose) those Notes alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed and in respect of which replacement Notes have
been issued pursuant to Condition 14 and (vii) temporary global Notes to
the extent that they shall have been duly exchanged in whole for permanent
global Notes or definitive Notes and permanent global Notes to the extent that

(a) In
the event that (each of (i) through (vii) below, an “Event of
Default”):
(i) default
shall be made in the payment when due of any installment of interest or any
Additional Amounts on any of the Notes continued for a period of 30 days
after the date when due; or
(ii) default
shall be made for more than three days in the payment when due of the principal
of any Note (whether at maturity or upon redemption or otherwise);
or
(iii) default
in the deposit of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Note when and
as
due; or
(iv) TMCC
shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained
in the Terms and Conditions applicable to any of the Notes or in the Agency
Agreement for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring TMCC to remedy the same, first shall have been given
to
the Agent and TMCC by the holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; or
(v) there
is an acceleration of, or failure to pay when due and payable, any indebtedness
for money borrowed of TMCC exceeding $50,000,000 and such acceleration is not
rescinded or annulled, or such indebtedness is not discharged, within
10 days after written notice thereof has first been given to TMCC and the
Agent by the holders of not less than 10 percent in aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding; or
(vi) the
entry by a court having competent jurisdiction of (a) a decree or order
granting relief in respect of TMCC in an involuntary proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law and
such
decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
consecutive days; or (b) a decree or order adjudging TMCC to be insolvent,
or approving a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of TMCC and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (c) a final and non-appealable
order appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other
similar official of TMCC or of any substantial part of the property of TMCC,
or
ordering up the winding up or liquidation of the offices of TMCC;
or
(vii) the
commencement by TMCC of a voluntary proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of a voluntary proceeding
seeking to be adjudicated insolvent or the consent of TMCC to the entry of
a
decree or order for relief in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by TMCC
of
a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any
applicable law, or the consent by TMCC to the filing of such petition or to
the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee or similar official of TMCC or any substantial part of the
property of TMCC or the making by TMCC of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the taking of corporate action by TMCC in furtherance of any
such
action;
A-31
then
the holder of any Note may, at its option, declare the principal of such Note
and the interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately
by
written notice to TMCC and the Agent at its main office in London, and unless
all such defaults shall have been cured by TMCC prior to receipt of such written
notice, the principal of such Note and the interest, if any, accrued thereon
shall become and be immediately due and payable.
At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes
has
been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due with
respect to any Note has been obtained by any Noteholder, such declaration and
its consequences may be rescinded and annulled upon the written consent of
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, or by resolution adopted by a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes present or represented at a meeting of holders of the Notes
at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement,
if:
(1) TMCC
has paid or deposited with the Agent a sum sufficient to pay
(A) all
overdue installments of interest on the Notes, and
(B) the
principal of Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration
of
acceleration; and
(2) all
Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of
the
principal of such Notes which has become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in paragraph (b)
below.
No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
(b) Any
Events of Default by TMCC, other than the events described in
paragraph (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above or in respect of a covenant or
provision which cannot be modified and amended without the written consent
of
the holders of all outstanding Notes, may be waived by the written consent
of
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes then outstanding present
or
represented at a meeting of holders of the Notes affected thereby at which
a
quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement.

Replacement of Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons
Should
any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon be mutilated, defaced or destroyed or be
lost
or stolen, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Agent in London
(or
such other place outside the United States as may be notified to the
Noteholders), in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, upon
payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred by TMCC and the Agent in
connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence, indemnity, security
or
otherwise as TMCC and the Agent may require. Mutilated or defaced Notes,
Receipts, Coupons or Talons must be surrendered before replacements will be

15.
Prescription
Unless
provided otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the Notes, Receipts and
Coupons will become void unless presented for payment within a period of five
years from the Relevant Date (as defined below) relating thereto. Any moneys
paid by TMCC to the Agent for the payment of principal or interest in respect
of
the Notes and remaining unclaimed for a period of five years shall forthwith
be
repaid to TMCC. All liability of TMCC and the Agent with respect thereto shall
cease when the Notes, Receipts and Coupons become void.
As
used herein, the “Relevant Date” means:
(A) the
date on which such payment first becomes due; or
(B) if
the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Agent on
or
prior to such due date, the date on which the full amount of such moneys has
been so received and notice to that effect has been given to the Noteholders
in
accordance with Condition 16.
16.
Notices
All
notices regarding the Notes shall be published in one leading English language
daily newspaper with circulation in the United Kingdom (which is expected to
be
the Financial Times) or, if this is not practicable, one other such English
language newspaper as TMCC, in consultation with the Agent, shall decide. TMCC
shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner which complies
with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Notes are
for
the time being listed or any other relevant authority. Any notice published
as
aforesaid shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication
or,
if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.
Receiptholders and Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice
of the contents of any notice given to the holders of the Notes in accordance
with this Condition.
A-33
Until
such time as any definitive Notes are issued, so long as the global Notes for
this Series are held in their entirety on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg, there may be substituted for such publication in such newspaper
the
delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg for
communication by them to the holders of the Notes of this Series; provided
that,
for so long as the Notes are listed on a stock exchange or are admitted to
listing by another relevant authority and the rules of that stock exchange
or
relevant authority so require, such notice will be published in a daily
newspaper of general circulation in the place or places required by that stock
exchange (or that relevant authority). Any notice delivered to Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg shall be deemed to have been given to the holders of
the
Notes of this Series on the seventh day after the day on which the said notice
was given to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, or on such other day as
is
specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Notices
to be given by any holder of the Notes of this Series shall be in writing and
given by lodging the same, together with the relevant Note or Notes, with the
Agent. While any of the Notes of this Series are represented by a global Note,
such notice may be given by any holder of a Note of this Series to the Agent
via
Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner
as
the Agent and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be,
may
approve for this purpose.
17.
Redenomination and Exchange
TMCC
may (if so specified in the applicable Final Terms) without the consent of
the
holder of any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon, redenominate into euro all, but
not some only, of the Notes of any Series on or after the date on which the
member state of the European Union in whose national currency such Notes are
denominated has become a participant member in the third stage of the European
economic and monetary union as more fully set out in the applicable Final Terms.
TMCC may (if so specified in the applicable Final Terms) without the consent
of
the holder of any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon, elect that the Notes shall
be
exchangeable for Notes expressed to be denominated in euro in accordance with
such arrangements as TMCC may decide.
18.

This
Note is a Temporary Global Note in respect of a duly authorized issue of
[Specified Currency and Nominal Amount of Series] Euro Medium-Term Notes Dues
[Year of Maturity] (the “Notes”) of [Specified Currency and Specified
Denomination] each of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the “Company”).
References herein to the Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of
the
Notes (the “Conditions”) as set out in Appendix A to the Agency Agreement (as
defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out in the
Final Terms (the “Final Terms”) (which are attached hereto), provided that, in
the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Conditions and the
information set out in the Final Terms, the latter shall prevail. Words and
expressions defined in the Conditions and the Final Terms and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings when used herein.
This
Temporary Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the
Conditions and the Sixth Amended and Restated Agency Agreement dated as of
September 28, 2006 (the “Agency Agreement,” which expression shall be construed
as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented
from
time to time), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Agent”)
and the other agents named therein; provided, however, that the reference to
the
Conditions shall mean the Conditions in effect on the date of this Temporary
Global Note and shall not be affected by any amendments to the Conditions which
occur thereafter.
This
Temporary Global Note is to be held by a common depositary (or, if the
applicable Final Terms indicates that this Global Note is intended to be a
New
Global Note, a common safekeeper) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator
of
the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(“Clearstream”) and/or such other relevant clearing agency as is specified in
the related Final Terms on behalf of account holders which have the Notes
represented by this Temporary Global Note credited to their respective
securities accounts therewith from time to time.
For
value received, the Company, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions,
promises to pay to the bearer hereof on [each Installment Date the relevant
Installment Amount] the [Maturity Date], or on such earlier date as the Notes
may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount
payable under the Conditions on redemption of the Notes then represented by
this
Temporary Global Note and to pay interest (if any) on the nominal amount of
the
Notes from time to time represented by this Temporary Global Note calculated
and
payable as provided in the Conditions together with any other sums payable
under
the Conditions, upon presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Temporary
Global Note at the principal office of the Agent in London, England, or at
the
offices of any of the other paying agents located outside the United States
(as
defined below) (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time
appointed by the Company in respect of the Notes, but in each case subject
to
the requirements as to certification provided herein. Any monies paid by the
Company to the Agent for the payment of or interest on any Notes and remaining
unclaimed at the end of one year after such principal or interest shall have
become due and payable (whether at maturity, upon call for redemption or
otherwise) shall then be repaid to the Company and upon such repayment all
liability of the Agent with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without,
however, limiting in any way any obligation the Company may have to pay the
principal of or interest on this Note as the same shall become due. If the
applicable Final Terms do not indicate that this Global Note is intended to
be a
New Global Note, on any payment of an installment or interest being made,
details of such payment shall be entered by or on behalf of the Company in
Schedule One hereto and the relevant space in Schedule One hereto recording
any
such payment shall be signed by or on behalf of the Company.
B-1-2
If
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is intended
to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of Notes represented by this
Temporary Global Note shall be the aggregate amount from time to time entered
in
the records of both Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme (together, the “relevant Clearing Systems”). The records of the relevant
Clearing Systems (which expression in this Global Note means the records that
each relevant Clearing System holds for its customers which reflect the amount
of such customer’s interest in the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the
nominal amount of Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note and, for
these
purposes, a statement issued by a relevant Clearing System (which statement
shall be made available to the bearer upon request) stating the nominal amount
of Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note at any time shall be
conclusive evidence of the records of the relevant Clearing System at that
time.
If
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is not
intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented
by
this Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or,
if
lower, the nominal amount most recently entered by or on behalf of the Company
in the relevant column in Part I or II of Schedule One or in Schedule
Two.
On
any redemption or purchase and cancellation of any of the Notes represented
by
this Temporary Global Note, the Company shall procure that:
(i)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption or purchase and
cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records
of
the relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the nominal
amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems
and
represented by this Temporary Global Note shall be reduced by the aggregate
nominal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or by the
aggregate amount of such installment so paid; or
(ii)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is
not
intended to be a New Global Note,
details
of such redemption or purchase and cancellation shall be entered by or on behalf
of the Company in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two
hereto recording any such redemption or purchase and cancellation shall be
signed by or on behalf of the Company. Upon any such redemption or purchase
and
cancellation, the nominal amount of this Temporary Global Note and the Notes
represented by this Temporary Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount
so redeemed or purchased and canceled.
Payments
due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Temporary Global
Note shall be made to the bearer in this Temporary Global Note and each payment
so made will discharge the Company’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure
to make the entries referred to above shall not affect such
discharge.
B-1-3
Prior
to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on this Temporary
Global Note will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there
is
presented to the Agent by Euroclear, Clearstream and/or such other relevant
clearing agency, a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule
Three hereto, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person
entitled to a particular nominal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records)
a
certificate from such person in or substantially in the form of Certificate
“A”
as set out in Schedule Three hereto. After the Exchange Date the holder of
this
Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to receive any payment of interest
hereon.
On
or after the date which is 40 days after the completion of the distribution
of
the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note (the “Exchange Date”), this
Temporary Global Note may, under the circumstances set forth in the Conditions
and the Final Terms (including, without limitation, certification as to the
date
on which the distribution of the Notes of this Series was completed), be
exchanged, in whole or in part for either (a) Definitive Notes and (if
applicable) Receipts, Coupons and Talons in or substantially in the forms set
out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, respectively, to the Agency Agreement
(on the basis that all appropriate details have been included on the face of
such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and Talons and
the
Final Terms (or the relevant provisions of the Final Terms) have either been
endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Notes) and/or, (b) either, if the
applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is intended
to
be a New Global Note, interests recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing
Systems in a Permanent Global Note or, if the applicable Final Terms indicates
that this Temporary Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, a
Permanent Global Note which, in either case, is in the form or substantially
the
form set out in Appendix B-2 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Final
Terms attached thereto) upon presentation of this Temporary Global Note by
the
bearer hereof at the offices of the Agent in London, England (or at such other
place outside the United States of America, its territories and possessions,
any
State of the United States and the District of Columbia (the “United States”) as
the Agent may agree). As specified in the Final Terms, the exchange of this
Temporary Global Note for Definitive Notes may also require written notice
being
given to the Agent by Euroclear, Clearstream or other relevant clearing agency
on behalf of holders of Notes and/or the payment of certain costs each of which
shall be specified in the Final Terms. Definitive Notes or the Permanent Global
Note shall be so issued and delivered and (in the case of the Permanent Global
Note where the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global
Note
is intended to be a New Global Note) recorded in the records of the relevant
Clearing System in exchange for only that portion of this Temporary Global
Note
in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Agent by Euroclear
and Clearstream (and/or, in the case of Notes that are in Classic Global Note
form, such other relevant clearing agency), a certificate, substantially in
the
form set out in Schedule Three hereto, to the effect that it has received from
or in respect of a person entitled to a particular nominal amount of the Notes
(as shown by its records) a certificate from such person in or substantially
in
the form of Certificate “A” as set out in Schedule Three hereto and, in the case
of Definitive Notes, subject to such notice period and payment of costs as
may
be specified in the Final Terms. If Definitive Notes and (if applicable)
Receipts, Coupons and Talons have already been issued in exchange for all the
Notes represented for the time being by the Permanent Global Note, then this
Temporary Global Note may only thereafter be exchanged for Definitive Notes
and
(if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and Talons pursuant to the terms
hereof.
B-1-4
On
an exchange of the whole of this Temporary Global Note, this Temporary Global
Note shall be surrendered to the Agent. On an exchange of part only of this
Temporary Global Note:
(i)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered
pro
rata in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems; or
(ii)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Temporary Global Note is
not
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered
by
or on behalf of the Company in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in
Schedule Two hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf
of
the Company. If, following the issue of a Permanent Global Note in exchange
for
some of the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note, further Notes
represented by this Temporary Global Note are to be exchanged pursuant to this
paragraph, such exchange may be effected, without the issue of a new Permanent
Global Note, by the Company or its agent endorsing Schedule Two of the Permanent
Global Note previously issued to reflect an increase in the aggregate nominal
amount of the Permanent Global Note which would otherwise have been issued
on
such exchange.
Until
the exchange of the whole of this Temporary Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer
hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled
to the same benefits as if it were bearer of Definitive Notes, Coupons and
Receipts in the form set out in Appendices X-0, X-0 and B-5 to the Agency
Agreement.
This
Temporary Global Note is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance
with,
the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, applicable to
agreements made and to be performed wholly within such
jurisdiction.
This
Temporary Global Note shall not be valid unless authenticated by the Agent
and,
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Global Note is intended to
be
held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, effectuated by the
entity appointed as common safe-keeper by the relevant Clearing Systems. This
Temporary Global Note may be duly executed on behalf of the Company by manual
or
facsimile signature.

B-2-1
This
Note is a Permanent Global Note in respect of a duly authorized issue of
[Specified Currency and Nominal Amount of Series] Euro Medium-Term Notes Due
[Year of Maturity] (the “Notes”) of [Specified Currency and Specified
Denomination] each of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the “Company”).
References herein to the Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of
the
Notes (the “Conditions”) as set forth out in Appendix A to the Agency Agreement
(as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out
in
the Final Terms (the “Final Terms”) (which are attached hereto) and, in the
event of any conflict between the provisions of the Conditions and the
information set out in the Final Terms, the latter shall prevail. Words and
expressions defined in the Conditions and the Final Terms and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings when used herein.
This
Permanent Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the
Conditions and the Sixth Amended and Restated Agency Agreement dated as of
September 28, 2006 (the “Agency Agreement,” which expression shall be construed
as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented
from
time to time), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Agent”)
and the other agents named therein; provided, however, that the reference to
the
Conditions shall mean the Conditions in effect on the date of issue of the
Temporary Global Note that originally represented this Note and shall not be
affected by any amendments to the Conditions which occur
thereafter.
This
Permanent Global Note is to be held by a common depositary (or, if the
applicable Final Terms indicates that this Global Note is intended to be a
New
Global Note, a common safekeeper) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator
of
the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(“Clearstream”) and/or such other relevant clearing agency as is specified in
the related Final Terms on behalf of account holders which have the Notes
represented by this Permanent Global Note credited to their respective
securities accounts therewith from time to time.
For
value received, the Company, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions,
promises to pay to the bearer hereof on [each Installment Date the relevant
Installment Amount] the [Maturity Date], or on such earlier date as the Notes
may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount
payable under the Conditions on redemption of the Notes then represented by
this
Permanent Global Note and to pay interest (if any) on the nominal amount of
the
Notes from time to time represented by this Permanent Global Note calculated
and
payable as provided in the Conditions together with any other sums payable
under
the Conditions, upon presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Permanent
Global Note at the principal office of the Agent in London, England, or at
the
offices of any of the other paying agents located outside of the United States
(as defined below) (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time
appointed by the Company in respect of the Notes. Any monies paid by the Company
to the Agent for the payment of or interest on any Notes and remaining unclaimed
at the end of one year after such principal or interest shall have become due
and payable (whether at maturity, upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall
then be repaid to the Company and upon such repayment all liability of the
Agent
with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any
way any obligation the Company may have to pay the principal of or interest
on
this Note as the same shall become due. If the applicable Final Terms indicate
that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, on any payment of
an
installment or interest being made details of such payment shall be entered by
or on behalf of the Company in Schedule One hereto and the relevant space in
Schedule One hereto recording any such payment shall be signed by or on behalf
of the Company.
B-2-2
If
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note is intended
to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of Notes represented by this
Permanent Global Note shall be the aggregate amount from time to time entered
in
the records of both Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme (together, the “relevant Clearing Systems”). The records of the relevant
Clearing Systems (which expression in this Global Note means the records that
each relevant Clearing System holds for its customers which reflect the amount
of such customer’s interest in the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the
nominal amount of Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note and, for
these
purposes, a statement issued by a relevant Clearing System (which statement
shall be made available to the bearer upon request) stating the nominal amount
of Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note at any time shall be
conclusive evidence of the records of the relevant Clearing System at that
time.
If
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note is not
intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented
by
this Permanent Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final
Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently entered by or on behalf
of
the Company in the relevant column in Part I or II of Schedule One or in
Schedule Two.
On
any redemption or purchase and cancellation of any of the Notes represented
by
this Permanent Global Note the Company shall procure that:
(i)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note is
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption, payment or
purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in
the
records of the relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made,
the nominal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing
Systems and represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be reduced by the
aggregate nominal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled
or
by the aggregate amount of such instalment so paid; or
(ii)
if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note is
not
intended to be a New Global Note,
details
of such redemption or purchase and cancellation shall be entered by or on behalf
of the Company in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two
hereto recording any such redemption or purchase and cancellation shall be
signed by or on behalf of the Company. Upon any such redemption or purchase
and
cancellation, the nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note and the Notes
represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount
so redeemed or purchased and canceled.
Payments
due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Global Note
shall
be made to the bearer of this Global Note and each payment so made will
discharge the Company’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the
entries referred to above shall not affect such discharge.
B-2-3
The
Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note were originally represented
by a
Temporary Global Note. Unless such Temporary Global Note was exchanged in whole
on the issue hereof, such Temporary Global Note may be further exchanged, on
the
terms and conditions set out therein, for this Permanent Global Note. On any
exchange of any such Temporary Global Note for this Permanent Global Note or
any
part of it, the Company shall procure that:
(i)
|
if
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note
is
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall
be
entered in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems;
or
|
(ii)
|
if
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note
is
not intended to be a New Global Note,
|
details
of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Company in Schedule
Two
and the relevant space in Schedule Two recording any such exchange shall be
signed by or on behalf of the Company. Upon any such exchange, the nominal
amount of the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be increased
by the nominal amount of the Notes so exchanged.
In
certain circumstances further notes may be issued which are intended on issue
to
be consolidated and form a single Series with the Notes. In such circumstances
the Company shall procure that:
(i)
|
if
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note
is
intended to be a New Global Note, details of such further notes may
be
entered in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems such that
the
nominal amount of Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note
may be
increased by the amount of such further notes so issued;
or
|
(ii)
|
if
the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Global Note
is
not intended to be a New Global Note, details of such increase in
the size
of the Series shall be entered by or on behalf of the Company in
Schedule
Two and the relevant space in Schedule Two recording such exchange
shall
be signed by or on behalf of the Company, whereupon the nominal amount
of
the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be increased
by
the nominal amount of any such Temporary Global Note so
exchanged.
|
This
Permanent Global Note may (under the circumstances set forth in the Conditions
and the Final Terms) be exchanged, in whole, but not in part, for
security-printed Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and
Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0
and
B-6, respectively, of the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate
details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if
applicable) Coupons, Receipts and Talons and the Final Terms (or the relevant
provisions of the Final Terms) have been either endorsed on or attached to
such
Definitive Notes) in denominations of [Specified Currency and Specified
Denomination] each either, as specified in the applicable Final
Terms:
B-2-4
(a)
|
upon
not less than 60 days’ written notice being given to the Agent by the
relevant Clearing Systems acting on the instructions of any holder
of an
interest in this Global Note; or
|
(b) only
upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event; or
(c) at
any time at the request of the Company.
An
“Exchange Event” means:
(i)
|
an
Event of Default (as defined in Condition 13) has occurred and is
continuing; or
|
(ii)
|
the
Company has been notified that both the relevant Clearing Systems
have
been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other
than by
reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention
permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor
clearing system is available; or
|
(iii)
|
the
Company has or will become subject to adverse tax consequences which
would
not be suffered were the Notes represented by this Permanent Global
Note
in definitive form.
|
If
this Permanent Global Note is only exchangeable following the occurrence of
an
Exchange Event:
(A)
|
the
Company will promptly give notice to Noteholders in accordance with
Condition 16 upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event; and
|
(B)
|
in
the event of the occurrence of any Exchange Event, one or more of
the
relevant Clearing Systems acting on the instructions of any holder
of an
interest in this Permanent Global Note may give notice to the Agent
requesting exchange and, in the event of the occurrence of an Exchange
Event as described in (iii) above, the Company may also give notice
to the
Agent requesting exchange. Any such exchange shall occur no later
than 45
days after the date of receipt of the first relevant notice by the
Agent.
|
Such
exchange, if any, will be made upon presentation of this Permanent Global Note
by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which
banks are open for business in London at the principal office of the Agent
in
London, England; provided, however, the first notice given to the Agent by
Euroclear, Clearstream and/or such other relevant clearing agency shall give
rise to the issue of Definitive Notes for the total amount of Notes represented
by this Permanent Global Note. The aggregate nominal amount of Definitive Notes
issued upon an exchange of this Permanent Global Note will be equal to the
aggregate nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note submitted by the bearer
hereof for exchange (to the extent that such nominal amount does not exceed
the
aggregate nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note, as adjusted, as shown
in
Schedule Two hereto if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Permanent
Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, or in the records of the
relevant Clearing Systems if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this
Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note). On an exchange
of
the whole of this Permanent Global Note, this Permanent Global Note shall be
surrendered to the Agent.
B-2-5
Until
the exchange of the whole of this Permanent Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer
hereof shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as if it were
the
bearer of Definitive Notes, Coupons, Receipts and Talons in the form set out
in
Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, respectively, to the Agency
Agreement.
This

of the
relevant notice a successor Calculation Agent has been appointed.
|

successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and
deliver
to its predecessor and the Company an instrument accepting appointment
hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without

Explanatory
Notes to Settlement Procedures
(a)
|
Each
“Day” is a day on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for
general business in London (including dealings in foreign exchange
and
foreign currency deposits), counted in reverse order from the proposed
Issue Date.
|
(b)
|
The
“Issue Date” must be a Business Day. For the purposes of this Memorandum,
“Business Day” means a day which
is:
|
a
day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and
are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and
foreign currency deposits) in London;
(i)
in relation to
Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which
commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open
for
general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency
deposits) in the principal financial center of the country of the relevant
Specified Currency (if other than London), or (ii) in relation to Notes
denominated in euro, a day on which the TARGET system is open. Unless provided
otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial center of
any
country shall be as provided in the ISDA Definitions (except in the case of
New
Zealand and Australia, where the principal financial center will be as specified
in the Final Terms); and
a
day on which the ICSDs and any other relevant clearing system is open for
general business.
(c)
|
Times
given can be modified upon the mutual agreement of the Purchaser,
the
Agent and the Company.
|
(d)
|
If
at any time the Agent is notified by the Company or the relevant
Stock
Exchange that the listing of a Series of Notes has been refused or
otherwise will not take place, the Agent shall immediately notify
the
Company, the Dealer and all the relevant Purchaser(s) (if not the
Dealer).
|
(e)
|
If
any final terms or information to be included in the applicable Final
Terms constitute "significant new factors" and consequently trigger
the
need for a supplement to the Offering Circular under Article 16 of
the
Prospectus Directive the timings in Part A and Part B of Annex B
will
change as the Final Terms will need to be approved by the relevant
authority as a supplement, which can take up to seven working
days.
|
(f)
|
Where
a clearing system other than Euroclear or Clearstream are used for
an
issue, references to the ICSDs shall be interpreted
accordingly.

____________________________
(1) Only
include details of a Supplementary Offering Circular/Base Prospectus in which
the Conditions have been amended for the purposes of all future issues under
the
Program.
(2) Article 14.2
of the Prospectus Directive provides that a Base Prospectus is deemed available
to the public when, inter alia, made available (i) in printed form free of
charge at the offices of the market on which securities are being admitted
to
trading; or (ii) at the registered office of the Issuer and at the offices
of the financial intermediaries placing or selling the securities, including
Paying Agents; or (iii) in an electronic form on the Issuer's website; or
(iv) in an electronic form on the website of the regulated market where the
admission to trading is sought. Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive
requires that the same arrangements are applied to Supplementary
Prospectuses.
(3) In
the transitional phase it is most likely that the “original” offering document
containing the Conditions will not be a Prospectus Directive compliant
prospectus whereas the “current” offering document will be.
(4) Section 6:
Add the following language if the Program allows for issues of securities with
a
maturity of less than one year and the issuer is not an authorised person
permitted to accept deposits or an exempt person under the UK Financial Services
and Markets Xxx 0000. Delete square-bracketed text for issuers incorporated
in
the UK or within S 418 FSMA. The issue of securities with a maturity of less
than one year by such issuers, where the issue proceeds are to be accepted
in
the United Kingdom, or, in the case of issuers incorporated in the UK or within
S 418 FSMA, will be subject to S 19 FSMA unless their denomination is £100,000
or more (or its equivalent in other currencies) and they are only issued to
“professionals” within Article 9(2)(a) of the Financial Services and
Markets Act (Regulated Activities) Order 2001:
Notes
[(including Notes denominated in Sterling) in respect of which the issue
proceeds are to be accepted by the issuer in the United Kingdom or whose issue
otherwise constitutes a contravention of S 19 FSMA and] which have a maturity
of
less than one year must have a minimum redemption value of £100,000 (or its
equivalent in other currencies).
Add
appropriate provisions to terms and conditions if included.
(5) If
the Final Redemption Amount is less than 100% of the nominal value the Notes
will be derivative securities for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive
and
the requirements of Annex XII to the Prospectus Directive Regulation will
apply.
(6) If
setting notice periods which are different to those provided in the terms and
conditions, issuers are advised to consider the practicalities of distribution
of information through intermediaries, for example, clearing systems and
custodians, as well as any other notice requirements which may apply, for
example, as between the issuer and its fiscal agent or any trustee.
* Required
for derivative securities to which Annex XII of the Prospectus Directive
Regulation applies. See footnote 5 above.

APPENDIX
E
FORM
OF THE NOTES
Each
Tranche of Notes will initially be represented by one or more temporary global
Notes which will:
(i) if
the global Notes are intended to be issued in new global note (“NGN”) form, as
stated in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original
issue date of the Tranche to a common safekeeper (the “Common Safekeeper”) for
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg; and
(ii)
if
the global Notes are not intended to be issued in NGN form, be delivered on
or
prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common depositary (the
“Common Depositary”) on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg,
without
receipts, interest coupons or talons.
The
applicable Final Terms will specify whether the Notes are intended to be held
in
a manner which will allow Eurosystem eligibility. This means that the Notes
are
intended to be deposited with one of the international central securities
depositaries (“ICSDs”) as Common Safekeeper and not necessarily that the Notes
will be recognized as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and
intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or
all
times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of
the
Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
While
any Note is represented by a temporary global Note, payments of principal and
interest (if any) due prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below) will be
made
(against presentation of the temporary global Note if the temporary Global
Note
is not intended to be issued in NGN form) only to the extent that certification
of non-U.S. beneficial ownership (in the form set out in the temporary global
Note) has been received from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. Interests
in
the temporary global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent
global Note and/or for security printed definitive Notes (as specified under
“Terms and Conditions of the Notes” and in the applicable Final Terms) not
earlier than the date (the “Exchange Date”) which is 40 days after
completion of the distribution of the relevant Tranche, provided that
certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership has been received. No interest
or
principal payments will be made on a temporary global Note after the Exchange
Date.
The
permanent global Note will, unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and
the
relevant Dealer, if the global Notes are intended to be issued in NGN form
(to
be eligible as collateral for Eurosystem operations) as stated in the applicable
Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche
to the Common Safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. If the
global Notes are not intended to be issued in NGN form, the permanent global
Note will be delivered to the Common Depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg.
E-1
Payments
of principal or interest (if any) in respect of a permanent global Note will
be
made through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (against presentation or
surrender, as the case may be, of the permanent global Note if the permanent
global Note is not intended to be issued in NGN form) without any requirement
for further certification. A permanent global Note will be exchangeable in
whole, but not in part, for security printed definitive Notes with, where
applicable, receipts, interest coupons and talons attached not earlier than
the
Exchange Date under certain limited circumstances set forth under “Terms and
Conditions of the Notes”. If a portion of the Notes continue to be represented
by the temporary global Note after the issuance of definitive Notes, the
temporary global Note shall thereafter be exchangeable only for definitive
Notes, subject to certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership. Unless
specified in the applicable Final Terms, investors shall have the right to
require the delivery of definitive Notes; provided, however, that such delivery
may be conditioned on written notice, as specified in the applicable Final
Terms, from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) acting
on
instructions of the holders of interest in the temporary or permanent global
Note and/or on the payment of costs in connection with the printing and
distribution of the definitive Notes. No definitive Note delivered in exchange
for a permanent or temporary global Note shall be mailed or otherwise delivered
to any locations in the United States of America in connection with such
exchange. Temporary and permanent global Notes and definitive Notes will be
issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as issuing and (unless specified otherwise
in the applicable Final Terms) principal paying agent and, unless specified
otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, as calculation agent (the “Agent”,
which expression includes any successor agents or any other Calculation Agent
specified in the applicable Final Terms) pursuant to a Sixth Amended and
Restated Agency Agreement dated as of September 28, 2006 (the “Agency
Agreement”), and made between TMCC, the Agent and the other paying agents named
therein (together with the Agent, the “Paying Agents”, which expression includes
any additional or successor paying agents).
If
specified in the applicable Final Terms, other clearance systems capable of
complying with the certification requirements set forth in the temporary global
Note may be used in addition to or in lieu of Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg, and any reference herein to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg
shall, whenever the context so permits, except in relation to Notes issued
in
NGN form, be deemed to include such other additional or alternative clearing
system.
If
specified in the applicable Final Terms, TMCC may use market standard
definitions in the terms and conditions of any Notes, including those published
by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
Temporary
and permanent global Notes and definitive Notes will be issued in bearer form
only. The following legend will appear on all global Notes, definitive Notes,
receipts and interest coupons for Notes with a maturity of more than
183 days:
“Any
United States person who holds this obligation will be subject to limitations
under the United States income tax laws, including the limitations provided
in
sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.”
The
sections referred to in such legend provide that United States Noteholders,
with
certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss on Notes, receipts
or interest coupons and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment of
any
gain on any sale, disposition or payment of principal in respect of Notes,
receipts or interest coupons.
E-2
and
will not be entitled to capital gains treatment of any gain on any sale,
disposition or payment of principal in respect of Notes, receipts or interest
coupons.
The
following legend is required by the United States information reporting
and
backup withholding rules and will appear on all global Notes, definitive
Notes,
receipts and interest coupons for Notes with maturities at issuance of
183 days or less:
“By
accepting this obligation, the holder represents and warrants that it is
not a
United States person (other than an exempt recipient described in
Section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
thereunder) and that it is not acting for or on behalf of a United States
person
(other than an exempt recipient described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the
Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder).”
Applicable
Final Terms
[See
Annex B to Appendix D (Form of Operating & Administrative Procedures
Memorandum) for the form of Final Terms.]

2. If
any event occurs that requires a xxxx up or xxxx down of the records which

to
the IOA maintained by the ICSDs for the Notes and will promptly inform
the ICSDs
(through the CSP) of any discrepancies.
4. The
Agent will promptly assist the ICSDs (through the CSP) in resolving any
discrepancy identified in the IOA of the Notes.
5. The
Agent will promptly provide to the ICSDs (through the CSP) details of all
amounts paid by it under the Notes (or, where the Notes provide for delivery
of
assets other than cash, of the assets so delivered).
6. The
Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly provide to the ICSDs (through
the CSP) notice of any changes to the Notes that will affect the amount
of, or
date for, any payment due under the Notes.
7. The
Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly provide to the ICSDs (through
the CSP) copies of all information that is given to the holders of the
Notes.
8. The
Agent will promptly pass on to the Company all communications it receives
from
the ICSDs directly or through the CSP relating to the Notes.
9. The
Agent will (to the extent known to it) promptly notify the ICSDs (through
the
CSP) of any failure by the Company to make any payment or delivery due
under the
Notes when due.
