7. | TERMS OF ISSUE |
(1) | The Agent shall cause all Temporary Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes and Definitive Bearer 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 7(1) the Agent is entitled to treat a telephone or facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Agent, after making reasonable investigation, believes in good faith to be) the authorised representative of the relevant Issuer named in the list referred to in, or notified pursuant to, Subclause 19(7) as sufficient instructions and authority of the relevant Issuer for the Agent to act in accordance with Subclause 7(1). |
(3) | In the event that a person who has signed on behalf of any Issuer a master Temporary Global Note, a master Permanent Global Note or Definitive Bearer Notes not yet issued but held by the Agent in accordance with Subclause 7(1) ceases to be authorised as described in Subclause 19(7), the Agent shall (unless the relevant Issuer gives notice to the Agent that Notes signed by that person do not constitute valid and binding obligations of the relevant Issuer or otherwise until replacements have been provided to the Agent) continue to have authority to issue any such Notes, and the relevant Issuer hereby warrants to the Agent that such Notes shall, unless notified as aforesaid, be valid and binding obligations of the relevant Issuer. Promptly upon such person ceasing to be authorised, the relevant Issuer shall provide the Agent with replacement master Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and (if applicable) Definitive Bearer Notes and the Agent shall cancel and destroy the master Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and (if applicable) Definitive Bearer Notes held by it which are signed by such person and shall provide to the relevant Issuer a confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying the Notes so cancelled and destroyed. |
(4) | Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the relevant Issuer and the Agent, each Note credited to the Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (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, as the case may be, 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 |
Page 16
the order of the relevant Issuer. 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, Luxembourg 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 hereto), in each case only upon receipt by the Agent on behalf of the relevant Issuer of the purchase price due from the relevant Purchaser in respect of such Notes. |
(5) | Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the relevant Issuer 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/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other applicable clearing agency) after such Issue Date, the Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of the relevant Issuer. The Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer and the Agent, if the Agent pays an amount (the Advance) to the relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer, the Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer by facsimile that the Payment has not been received and the relevant Issuer 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 provided that evidence of the basis of such rate is given to the relevant Issuer). |
(7) | In the event of an issue of Notes that are listed on a Stock Exchange, the Agent will promptly, and in any event prior to the Issue Date in respect of such issue, send the applicable Final Terms to the relevant Stock Exchange. |
(8) | Execution in facsimile of any Notes and any photostatic copying or other duplication of the master Temporary Global Note or the master Permanent Global Note (in unauthenticated form, but executed manually on behalf of the relevant Issuer as stated above) shall be binding upon the relevant Issuer in the same manner as if such Notes were signed manually by such signatories. |
8. | PAYMENTS |
(1) | The Agent shall advise the relevant Issuer, no later than ten Business Days (as defined in Subclause 8(2)) immediately preceding the date on which any |
Page 17
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 relevant Issuer shall on each date on which any payment in respect of any Bearer Notes becomes due, transfer to an account specified by the Agent not later than (unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer and the Agent) 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 relevant Issuer may agree. As used in this Subclause 8(1), the term Payment Time means (unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer and the Agent) 2:00 p.m. local time in the principal financial centre 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). Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial centre of any country for the purposes of this Subclause 8(1) shall be as provided in the ISDA Definitions on the Issue Date of such Series of Bearer Notes (except if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars the principal financial centre shall be Sydney or Auckland, respectively).
(2) | The relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer that such payment will be made. For the purposes of this Clause 8, Business Day has the meaning given to it in Condition 4(b). |
(3) | The Agent shall ensure that payments of both principal and interest in respect of Temporary Global Notes will be made only to the extent that certificates of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations have been received from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg in accordance with the terms thereof (and the Agent shall retain each such certification on behalf of the relevant Issuer for four calendar years following the year in which the certification is received); provided, however, that no such certification will be required with respect to Notes that, as specified in the applicable Final Terms (i) have been issued in reliance on United States Treasury regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(C) (“TEFRA C”) or (ii) have an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or the equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the date of issue) and are intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-5T(b)(10). |
(4) | The Agent shall pay interest on the Notes only outside the United States and its possessions, within the meaning of United States Treasury regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(v). No interest on Notes issued by TMCC shall be paid into an account maintained by the payee in the United States or mailed to an address in the United States unless otherwise permitted in the Conditions. |
(5) | 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 Bearer Notes on behalf of the relevant Issuer 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 |
Page 18
each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Bearer Notes as aforesaid following receipt by it of such payment.
(6) | 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 Bearer Notes, the Agent shall then forthwith notify the relevant Issuer 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. |
(7) | Without prejudice to Subclauses 8(5) and 8(6), if the Agent pays any amounts to the holders of Bearer Notes or Coupons or to any Paying Agent at a time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant Bearer Notes in accordance with Subclause 8(1) (the excess of the amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the Shortfall), the relevant Issuer 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 as evidenced to the relevant Issuer by the provision of details of the calculation of the cost of funding) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) from (and including) the date such Shortfall is paid by the Agent to the holders of the Bearer Notes or Coupons or to any Paying Agent to (but excluding) the date of receipt in full by the Agent of the Shortfall. The Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer by facsimile as soon as practicable, it being understood that the relevant Issuer shall have the right to make such payment subsequently with good value as of such Business Day. |
(8) | The Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments in respect of Bearer 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 Bearer Notes can be made on the due date of a payment in respect of the Bearer Notes, that the Agent does not expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts falling due in respect of such Bearer Notes. |
(9) | Whilst any Bearer Notes are represented by Temporary Global Notes or Permanent 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 New Global Note, the Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such payment. |
(10) | If the amount of principal and/or interest then due for payment is not paid in full (otherwise than by reason of (a) FATCA Withholding Tax or (b) any other deduction required by law to be made therefrom), (i) the Paying Agent to which a Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global Note is presented for the purpose of making such payment shall, unless the Note is a New |
Page 19
Global Note, 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 New Global Note, the Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such shortfall in payment.
(11) | Each Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct any applicable FATCA Withholding Tax and shall have no obligation to gross-up any payment hereunder or to pay any additional amount as a result of such applicable FATCA Withholding Tax. |
(12) | If the relevant Issuer reasonably determines that it will be required to withhold or deduct any FATCA Withholding Tax in connection with any payment due on any Notes, then the relevant Issuer will be entitled to re-direct or reorganise any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without FATCA Withholding Tax provided that any such re-direction or reorganisation of any payment is made through a recognised institution of international standing and such payment is otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement. |
9. | Determinations 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 to and in accordance with the Conditions provided that certain calculations with respect to any Series of Notes may be made by an agent (the Calculation Agent) appointed by the relevant Issuer 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 relevant 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. |
(2) | The Agent shall not be responsible to any Issuer or to any third party (except in the event of negligence, wilful default or bad faith) as a result of the Agent having acted on any quotation given by any Reference Bank (as referred to in Condition 4(b)(iv)(E)) which subsequently may be found to be incorrect. |
(3) | The Agent shall promptly notify (and confirm in writing to) the relevant Issuer, the other Paying Agents, (in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI) the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent, (in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC) the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent and (in respect of a Series of Notes listed on a Stock Exchange) the relevant Stock Exchange (or other relevant authority) 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 Day (as defined in Clause 8) immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Agent pursuant to Subclause 8(1)) and of any subsequent amendment thereto pursuant to the Conditions. |
Page 20
(4) | The Agent shall use its best endeavours to cause 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 (or which is provided to the Agent by any other Calculation Agent appointed by the relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer, the other Paying Agents, (in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI) the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent and (in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC) the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent) 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 (as “Notes” is defined in the Programme Agreement) issued and outstanding (as “outstanding” is defined in the Programme Agreement) under the Programme, the Agent shall determine the euro equivalent of the nominal amount of each issue of Notes (as “Notes” is defined in the Programme Agreement) denominated in a Specified Currency, other than euros as follows: |
(a) | the EUR equivalent of Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than EUR shall be determined by the Agent as of 2:30 p.m. London time on the Issue Date for such Notes (save in the case of Notes issued prior to 28 September 2007 by TMCC under its U.S.$30,000,000,000 Euro Medium-Term Note Program which remain outstanding where the EUR equivalent of such Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than EUR was determined by the Agent as of 2.30 p.m. London time on 28 September 2007) by reference to the spot rate displayed on a page on the relevant Reuters service or Dow Xxxxx Markets Limited or such other service as is agreed between the Agent and the relevant Issuer from time to time; |
(b) | the EUR equivalent of Notes that are linked to an index or formula (Index Linked Notes), or where payment obligations under such Notes are denominated in more than one currency (Dual Currency Notes), shall be determined in the manner specified above in paragraph (a) by reference to the original nominal amount of such Notes; and |
(c) | the EUR equivalent of Zero Coupon Notes and other Notes issued at a discount shall be determined in the manner specified above in paragraph (a) by reference to the net proceeds received by the relevant Issuer for the particular issue. |
Page 21
The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Issuer of each determination made as aforesaid.
(8) | Without prejudice to Subclause 9(7), determinations with regard to Notes linked to an index or formula or number of currencies shall otherwise be made by the Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms in the manner specified in the applicable Final Terms. Unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers of such Notes, such determinations shall be made on the basis of a Calculation Agency Agreement substantially in the form of Appendix C hereto. |
10. | NOTICE OF ANY WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION |
If any Issuer 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, such Issuer 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 relevant Issuer decides to redeem any Notes for the time being outstanding prior to their Maturity Date in accordance with the Conditions, the relevant Issuer shall give notice of such decision to the Agent not less than five days before the date of the notice required to be given to the holders of the Notes under the Conditions or such shorter period that is acceptable to the Agent. |
(2) | If only some of the Notes of the same Series are to be redeemed on such date the Agent shall make the required drawing in accordance with the Conditions but shall give the relevant Issuer reasonable notice of the time and place proposed for such drawing and the relevant Issuer shall be entitled to send representatives to attend such drawing. |
(3) | The Agent shall publish the notice required in connection with any such redemption and shall at the same time also publish a separate list of serial numbers of any Notes previously drawn and not presented for redemption. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption amount, the manner in which redemption will be effected and, in the case of a partial redemption, the serial numbers of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice will be published in accordance with the Conditions. |

(4) | The Agent may at any time call a meeting of holders of Notes of any Series for any purpose specified in Subclause 28(2) to be held at such time and at such place in the City of New York or in London, as the Agent and the relevant Issuer shall determine.

In the case at any time the relevant Issuer 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 authorised in Subclause 28(2), 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 relevant Issuer, 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(4). |

Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Subclause 28(4) 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. |

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.
(7) | Any modifications, amendments or waivers under this Clause 28 to this Agreement or to the terms and conditions of the Notes and Coupons will be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes 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 and Coupons. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders of Notes under Condition 15 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. |
(8) | Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment under this Clause 28 to this Agreement, the Notes or Coupons may bear a notation in form approved by the Agent as to any matter provided for in such amendment to this Agreement. New Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Agent and the relevant Issuer, to any modification contained in any such amendment may be prepared by the relevant Issuer, authenticated by the Agent and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding affected thereby. |
(9) | 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 |
Page 36
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 relevant Issuer or holders of Notes as provided above, in which case the relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer and another to the Agent to be preserved by the Agent.
29. | CALCULATION AGENCY AGREEMENT |
A form of calculation agency agreement is set out in Appendix C hereto. Where the Conditions require functions to be carried out by a Calculation Agent other than the Agent, the relevant Issuer may execute such an agreement or an agreement in such other form as such Issuer 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 relevant Issuer may, without the consent of any Noteholder or Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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:
(a) | the Notes 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 equal to the nominal amount of the Note 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 relevant Issuer determines, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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 relevant Issuer shall promptly notify the Noteholders, the stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes may be listed and the Agent and Paying Agent(s) or, |
Page 37
in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent 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 relevant Issuer 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 or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent may approve) euro 0.01 and such other denominations as the relevant Issuer, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent, shall determine and notify to Noteholders; |
(c) | if Definitive Notes have been issued, all unmatured Coupons 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 relevant Issuer gives notice (the Exchange Notice) that Euro-denominated Notes and Coupons are available for exchange (provided that such securities are so available). New certificates in respect of Euro-denominated Notes and Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes and Coupons in the original Specified Currency in such manner as the relevant Issuer, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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 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 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 cheque; provided, however, that a cheque 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 5(d); |
Page 38
(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 a day on which the TARGET2 system is open. After the Redenomination Date, Payment 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; |
(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 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; and |
(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 relevant Issuer may, without the consent of any Noteholder or Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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 relevant Issuer may decide, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent, and as may be specified in the notice, including arrangements under which 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
Page 39
the purpose of such Notes. In addition, the relevant Issuer and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent may make any changes, without the consent of, but with notification to (in accordance with Condition 16 and this Clause 30), any Noteholder or Couponholder, to this Agreement necessary to implement the provisions of Condition 18 and this Clause 30.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Clause 30, if the relevant Issuer determines, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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 relevant Issuer 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 relevant Issuer shall promptly notify Noteholders, the stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes may be listed, the Paying Agents and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TCCI, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by TMCC, the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer 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.
31. | DEED POLL |
(1) | If any Global Bearer Note becomes void in accordance with its terms, the relevant Issuer covenants with each Relevant Account Holder (other than any Relevant Account Holder which is an account holder of any other Relevant Clearing System) that each Relevant Account Holder shall automatically acquire at the Relevant Time, without the need for any further action on behalf of any person, against the relevant Issuer all those rights which the Relevant Account Holder would have had if at the Relevant Time it held and beneficially owned executed and authenticated Definitive Bearer Notes in respect of each Underlying Note (as defined in the definition of “Global Bearer Note”) represented by the Global Bearer Note which the Relevant Account Holder has credited to its securities account with the Relevant Clearing System at the Relevant Time.

shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the Relevant Clearing System at the Relevant Time.
(3) | In the event of a dispute, the determination of the Relevant Time by the Relevant Clearing System shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and conclusive for all purposes in connection with the Relevant Account Holders with securities accounts with the Relevant Clearing System. |
(4) | The relevant Issuer undertakes in favour of each Relevant Account Holder that, in relation to any payment to be made by it under this Clause 31, it will comply with the provisions of Condition 7 to the extent that they apply to any payments in respect of Underlying Notes as if those provisions had been set out in full in this Clause 31. |
(5) | The relevant Issuer will pay any stamp and other duties and taxes, including interest and penalties, payable on or in connection with the execution of this Agreement and any action taken by any Relevant Account Holder to enforce the provisions of this Clause 31. |
(6) | This Clause 31 and Clause 34 shall take effect as a Deed Poll for the benefit of the Relevant Account Holders from time to time. This Agreement shall be deposited with and held by the common depositary or common safekeeper, as the case may be, for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (being at that date of this Agreement the Agent) until all the obligations of each Issuer under this Clause 31 have been discharged in full. |
(7) | Each Issuer acknowledges the right of every Relevant Account Holder to the production of, and the right of every Relevant Account Holder to obtain (upon payment of a reasonable charge) a copy of, this Agreement, and further acknowledges and covenants that the obligations binding upon it contained in this Clause 31 are owed to, and shall be for the account of, each and every Relevant Account Holder, and that each Relevant Account Holder shall be entitled severally to enforce those obligations against the relevant Issuer. |

Appendix A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
This Note is one of a Series (as defined below) of Notes issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an amended and restated agency agreement dated 9 September 2016 (the “Agency Agreement”) and made between Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V., Toyota Credit Canada Inc., Toyota Finance Australia Limited and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as Issuers and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London branch, as the 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 other Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms and the “Paying Agent”, which expression shall include any additional or successor paying agents). Notes in registered form (“Registered Notes”) issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc. are also issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an amended and restated note agency agreement dated 9 September 2016 (the “TCCI Note Agency Agreement”) and made between Toyota Credit Canada Inc. as Issuer, Royal Bank of Canada as registrar and transfer agent (the “TCCI Registrar”, which expression shall include any successor registrar) and Royal Bank of Canada, London Branch as transfer agent and paying agent (the “TCCI Transfer Agent”, which expression shall include any additional or successor transfer agent or paying agent appointed for Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.). Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation are also issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an amended and restated note agency agreement dated 9 September 2016 (the “TMCC Note Agency Agreement”) and made between Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as Issuer, The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. as registrar and transfer agent (the “TMCC Registrar”, which expression shall include any successor registrar) and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London branch, as transfer agent and paying agent (the “TMCC Transfer Agent”, which expression shall include any additional or successor transfer agent or paying agent appointed for Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation).
References in these Terms and Conditions to the “Issuer” shall be references to the party specified in the applicable Final Terms (as defined below). References herein to the “Notes” shall be references to the Notes of this Series (as defined below) and shall mean (i) in relation to any Notes represented by a global Note, units of the lowest Specified Denomination (as defined below) in the Specified Currency (as defined below) of the relevant Notes, (ii) definitive Notes issued in exchange (or part exchange) for a temporary global Note, a permanent global Note or a global Registered Note and (iii) any global Note.
Interest bearing definitive Notes in bearer form 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. Global Notes do not have Coupons or Talons attached on issue.
The Notes and the Coupons have the benefit of certain Credit Support Agreements governed by Japanese law, one between Toyota Motor Corporation (the “Parent”) and Toyota Financial Services Corporation (“TFS”) dated 14 July 2000 as supplemented by a Supplemental Credit Support Agreement dated 14 July 2000 and a Supplemental Credit Support Agreement No. 2 dated 2 October 2000 (collectively, the “TMC Credit Support Agreement”) and others between TFS and each of Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V., Toyota Credit Canada Inc. and Toyota Finance Australia Limited dated 7 August 2000 and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation dated 1 October 2000 (each a “Credit Support Agreement” and together with the TMC Credit Support Agreement, the “Credit Support Agreements”). The Credit Support Agreements do not constitute a direct or indirect guarantee by the Parent or TFS of the Notes. The Parent’s obligations under its Credit
Page 46
Support Agreement and the obligations of TFS under its Credit Support Agreements, rank pari passu with its direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations.
The Final Terms applicable to the Notes are attached to or endorsed on the Notes and supplement these Terms and Conditions. References herein to the “applicable Final Terms” shall mean the Final Terms attached to or endorsed on the Notes.
As used herein, “Series” means each original issue of Notes together with any further issues expressed to form a single series with the original issue and the terms of which (save for the Issue Date, the amount and the date of the first payment of interest thereon and/or the Issue Price (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms)) are identical (including the Maturity Date, Interest Basis, Redemption/Payment Basis and Interest Payment Dates (if any) and whether or not the Notes are admitted to trading) and expressions “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).
Copies of the Agency Agreement (which contains the form of the Final Terms), the Credit Support Agreements and (if the Notes are offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area or admitted to trading on a regulated market within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, and includes any relevant implementing measure (for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions and the applicable Final Terms) in the relevant Member State) the “Prospectus Directive”) the Final Terms applicable to the Notes are available free of charge and available for inspection at the specified offices of the Agent. If the Notes are to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the London Stock Exchange or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances not within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive, the applicable Final Terms will be published on the website of the London Stock Exchange through a regulatory news service.

Copies of the TMCC Note Agency Agreement (if the Notes are Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) are available free of charge and available for inspection by the holders of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation at the specified offices of the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent. 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, and the holders of the Coupons (the “Couponholders”) are deemed to have notice of the Agency Agreement and the applicable Final Terms, which are binding on them.

4. | Interest |
(a) | Interest on Fixed Rate Notes and Business Day Convention for Notes other than Floating Rate Notes |
Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest 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 so specified payable in arrear 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.
If the Notes are in definitive form, except as provided in the applicable Final Terms, or if the applicable Final Terms specify that a Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount(s) shall apply in the case of Notes represented by a global Note, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such date xxxx
Xxxx 50
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 the Issue Date, as the case may be) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the “Following Business Day Convention” will apply to the payment of all Fixed Rate 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 Fixed Rate 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, 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.
Except in the case of (i) Notes in definitive form where a Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Final Terms or (ii) Notes represented by a global Note where the applicable Final Terms specify that a Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount(s) shall apply, interest shall be calculated in respect of any period (including any 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)) by applying the Fixed Rate of Interest to:
(A) | in the case of Fixed Rate Notes which are represented by a global Note, the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes represented by such global Note; or |
(B) | in the case of Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form, the Calculation Amount, |
and, in each case, multiplying such sum by the applicable Fixed Day Count Fraction or 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 such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention. Where the Specified Denomination of a Fixed Rate Note in definitive form is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Fixed Rate Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination, without any further rounding.
In these Terms and Conditions, “Fixed Day Count Fraction” means:
(i) | if “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms: |
(A) | in the case of Notes where the 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 |
Page 51
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 (1) the number of days in such Determination Period and (2) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year; or
(B) | in the case of Notes where the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the sum of: |
(1) | the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year; and |
(2) | the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year; |
(ii) | 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 of the period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365); |
(iii) | if “30/360” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the 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 (such number of days being calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months) divided by 360 and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed; |
(iv) | if “Actual/360” 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 360; and |
(v) | if “Actual/Actual Canadian Compound Method” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, whenever it is necessary to compute any amount of accrued interest in respect of the Notes for a period of less than one full year, other than in respect of any Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount, such interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period and a year of 365 days. |
In these Terms and Conditions:
“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 (including, where either the Interest Commencement Date or the final Interest Payment Date is not a Determination
Page 52
Date, the period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on the first Determination Date falling after, such date); 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.
(b) | Interest on Floating Rate Notes |
(i) | Interest Payment Dates |
Each Floating Rate Note bears interest 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, at the rate equal to the Rate of Interest payable in arrear on the Maturity Date and on either: (1) 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 (2) if no Specified Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the applicable Final Terms, each date (each such date, 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).
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:
(A) | in any case where Specified Periods are specified in accordance with Condition 4(b)(i)(2) 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 (2) below in this sub-paragraph (A) 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 (1) such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (2) each subsequent Interest Payment Date shall be the last Business Day in the month which falls in the Specified Period after the preceding applicable Interest Payment Date occurred; or |
(B) | the Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day; or |
(C) | 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 |

In addition:
(A) if, in the case of (x) above, no such rate or offered quotation appears or, in the case of (y) above, fewer than two of such rates or offered quotations 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

The Agent (or, if the Agent is not the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms) will, on 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 for the relevant Interest Period, by applying the Rate of Interest to:
(A) | subject to paragraph (C) below, in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are represented by a global Note, the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Notes represented by such global Note; |
(B) | in the case of Floating Rate Notes in definitive form, the Calculation Amount; or |
Page 57
(C) | in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are represented by a global Note and the applicable Final Terms indicates that the Rate of Interest shall be applied to the Calculation Amount, the Calculation Amount, |
and, in each case, multiplying such sum 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 such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention or as specified in the applicable Final Terms. Where the Specified Denomination of a Floating Rate Note in the case of paragraph (B) or (C) above is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the Interest Amount payable in respect of such Floating Rate Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination, without further rounding.
“Day Count Fraction” means in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest for any Interest Period:
(A) | if “Actual/Actual (ISDA)” or “Actual/Actual” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of that Interest Period falls in a leap year, the sum of (A) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (B) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365); |
(B) | if “Actual/365 (Fixed)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365; |
(C) | if “Actual/360” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360; |
(D) | if “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, calculated on a formula basis as follows: |
where:
“Y1” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“Y2” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
“M1” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“M2” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
“D1” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless such number is 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and
Page 58
“D2” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30;
(E) | if “30E/360” or “Eurobond Basis” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows: |
where:
“Y1” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“Y2” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
“M1” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“M2” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
“D1” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and
“D2” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D2 will be 30;
(F) | if “30E/360 (ISDA)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows: |
where:
“Y1” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“Y2” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
“M1” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;
“M2” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;
Page 59
“D1” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless (i) that day is the last day of February or (ii) such number would be 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and
“D2” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless (i) that day is the last day of February but not the Maturity Date or (ii) such number would be 31, in which case D2 will be 30; and
(G) | if “Actual/365 (Sterling)” 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 falling in a leap year, 366. |
(vii) | Linear Interpolation |
Where Linear Interpolation is specified as applicable in respect of an Interest Period or Specified Period in the applicable Final Terms, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period or Specified Period shall be calculated by the Agent (or if the Agent is not the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms) by straight line linear interpolation by reference to two rates based on the relevant Reference Rate (where Screen Rate Determination is specified as applicable in the applicable Final Terms) or the relevant Floating Rate Option (where ISDA Determination is specified as applicable in the applicable Final Terms), one of which shall be determined as if the Designated Maturity (as defined below) were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the relevant Interest Period or Specified Period and the other of which shall be determined as if the Designated Maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the relevant Interest Period or Specified Period, provided however, that if there is no rate available for a period of time next shorter or, as the case may be, next longer, then the Agent (or if the Agent is not the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Final Terms) shall determine such rate at such time and by reference to such sources as it determines appropriate. For the purposes of this Condition 4(b)(vii), the expression “Designated Maturity” means, in relation to Screen Rate Determination, the period of time designated in the Reference Rate.
(viii) | Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount |
The Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period or Specified Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.), the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) and any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes are for the time being admitted to trading and listed and will cause notice of the same to be published or given 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 or Specified Period in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any such amendment will promptly be notified to each stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes are for the time being admitted to trading and listed. For the purposes of this Condition 4(b)(viii), the expression “London Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for general business in London.

(ix) | Certificates to be Final |
All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 4(b), whether by the Agent or other Calculation Agent, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith, manifest error or proven error) be binding on the Issuer, the Agent, the Calculation Agent, any other Paying Agent and all Noteholders and Couponholders and (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) the TCCI Registrar and TCCI Transfer Agent and (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) the TMCC Registrar and TMCC Transfer Agent and (in the absence of wilful default or bad faith) no liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Agent or the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by either of them of their powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.
(c) | Zero Coupon Notes |
When a Zero Coupon Note becomes due and repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due and repayable shall be the Amortised Face Amount of such Note as determined in accordance with Condition 6(i)(iii). As from the Maturity Date, any overdue principal of such Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Accrual Yield set forth in the applicable Final Terms.
(d) | Accrual of Interest |
Each Note (or in the case of the redemption of part only of a Note, that part only of such Note to be redeemed) will cease to bear interest (if any) from the date of its redemption unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue at the rate of interest then applicable or at such other rate as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms 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 or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) the TCCI Registrar or the TCCI Transfer Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) the TMCC Registrar or the TMCC Transfer 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. | Payments |
(a) | Method of Payment |
Subject as provided below:
(i) | payments in a Specified Currency other than euro, U.S. dollars or Renminbi, will be made by credit or transfer to an account in the relevant Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in Japanese Yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with, or at the option of the payee by a cheque in such Specified Currency drawn on, a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of such Specified Currency (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; |
(ii) | 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, at the option of the payee, by a euro cheque; |
Page 61
(iii) | payments in U.S. dollars, except as provided by Condition 5(d), shall be made by credit or transfer to a U.S. dollar account outside the United States specified by the payee; and |
(iv) | payments in Renminbi shall be made by credit or transfer to a Renminbi account maintained by or on behalf of the payee with a bank in Hong Kong or such RMB Settlement Centre(s) as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidelines issued from time to time (including all applicable laws and regulations with respect to settlement in Renminbi in Hong Kong or such RMB Settlement Centre(s) as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms). |
A cheque 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 the Issuer, the Agent or any Paying Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) the TCCI Registrar or TCCI Transfer Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) the TMCC Registrar or TMCC Transfer Agent except as provided in Condition 5(d). Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment and the administrative practices and procedures of fiscal and other authorities in relation to tax, anti-money laundering and other requirements which may apply to payments of amounts due (whether principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise) in respect of Notes, but (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 7. However, if any withholding is required under Sections 1471 through to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder or any official interpretations thereof (including under an agreement described under Section 1471(b)), or under any intergovernmental agreement implementing an alternative approach thereto or any implementing law in relation thereto the Issuer will not be required to pay any additional amount under Condition 7 on account of such withholding.
(b) | Presentation of Notes and Coupons – Bearer Notes |
This Condition 5(b) applies to Bearer Notes.
Payments of principal in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the Specified Currency in the manner provided in Condition 5(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 Condition 5(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 which expression, used herein, means the United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia and its possessions).
Upon the date on which any Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form 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 falling 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 relative missing Coupon at any time before the expiry of five years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 8) in respect of such principal (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void under Condition 8) or, if later, five years from the date on which such Coupon would otherwise have become due. Upon any Fixed Rate Note in definitive form becoming due and
Page 62
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 in definitive form becomes due and repayable, 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.
If the due date for redemption of any definitive Note is not an Interest Payment Date, interest (if any) accrued but unpaid in respect of 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 represented by any global Note will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner specified above in relation to definitive Notes or otherwise in the manner specified in the relevant global Note, where applicable against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such global Note, if the global Note is not issued in NGN form or held under the NSS, at the specified office of any Paying Agent located outside the United States except as provided below. A record of each payment made, distinguishing between any payment of principal and any payment of interest, will be made on such global Note either by the Paying Agent to which it was presented or in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable.
(c) | Presentation and Surrender of Notes – Registered Notes |
Provisions in relation to payments of principal and interest in respect of Registered Notes will be set out in the relevant global Registered Note or definitive Registered Note and as otherwise set out in these Terms and Conditions. Interest on Registered Notes shall be paid to the person shown on the relevant TCCI Register with respect to Registered Notes issued by TCCI, or the relevant TMCC Register with respect to Registered Notes issued by TMCC, on the Record Date, and “Record Date” means, in the case of global Registered Notes, at the close of business on the relevant clearing system business day before the due date for payment thereof, or in the case of Registered Notes in definitive form, at close of business on the fifteenth day before the due date for payment thereof.
(d) | Global Notes |
The holder of a global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect of Notes represented by such global Note and the Issuer will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of such global Note in respect of each amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of Notes represented by such global Note must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for the holder’s share of each payment so made by the Issuer to, or to the order of, the holder of such global Note. No person other than the holder of such global Note shall have any claim against the Issuer in respect of any payments due on the global Note.
Interest on the Notes is payable only outside the United States and its possessions, within the meaning of United States Treasury regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(1)(ii)(A). No interest on the Notes shall be paid into an account maintained by the payee in the United States or mailed to an address in the United States unless the payee is described in United States Treasury regulation Sections 1.163-5(c)(2)(v)(B)(1) or (2).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal and interest in respect of global Notes will be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States (which expression, as used
Page 63
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)) if:
(i) | the Issuer 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 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 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; and |
(iii) | such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Issuer, adverse tax consequences to the Issuer. |
(e) | Payment Day |
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, if the due date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note or Coupon is not a Payment Day, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the next following Payment 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 Day” means any day which (subject to Condition 8) is both:
(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 (if presentation is required); and |
(B) | any Additional Financial Centre specified in the applicable Final Terms; and |
(ii) | (1) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro or Renminbi, 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 the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (which if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars shall be Sydney or Auckland, respectively); (2) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET2 System is open; or (3) in relation to any sum payable in Renminbi, a day on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business and settlement of Renminbi payments in Hong Kong. |
(f) | Conversion into euro |
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, if the Issuer is due to make a payment in a currency (the “original currency”) other than euro in respect of any Note or Coupon 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 the Issuer’s control, the Issuer 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 the Issuer or its designated Calculation Agent, in the foreign exchange market of any other financial centre 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
Page 64
the basis of a substitute exchange rate determined by the Issuer 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 Condition 5(f) will not constitute an Event of Default under Condition 9.
(g) | Interpretation of Principal and Interest |

(h) | Payment of U.S. Dollar Equivalent |
Notwithstanding any other provisions in these Terms and Conditions, if by reason of Inconvertibility (as defined below), Non-transferability (as defined below) or Illiquidity (as defined below), the Issuer determines in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner that it is not able, or it would be impracticable for it, to satisfy payments due under the Notes or Coupons in Renminbi in Hong Kong or such RMB Settlement Centre(s) as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Issuer shall settle any such payment in U.S. dollars on the due date for payment at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any such Renminbi denominated amount and give notice thereof (including details thereof) as soon as practicable to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16.
In such event, payments of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the relevant amounts due under the Notes or Coupons shall be made in accordance with Condition 5(a).
In this Condition 5(h):

(i) | Early Redemption Amounts |
For the purpose of Condition 6(b) and Condition 9, the 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 Calculation Amount, 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 less or greater than the Calculation Amount or which is payable in a Specified Currency other than that in which the Notes are denominated, at the amount specified in the applicable Final Terms or, if no such amount is so specified in the applicable Final Terms, at their nominal amount; or |
(iii) | in the case of Zero Coupon Notes, at an amount (the “Amortised Face Amount”) equal to: |
(A) | the sum of (x) the product of (i) either the Calculation Amount or the Specified Denomination as specified in the applicable Final Terms and (ii) the Reference Price specified in the applicable Final Terms (the “Reference Amount”) and (y) the product of the Accrual Yield specified in the applicable Final Terms (compounded annually) being applied to the Reference Amount from (and including) the Issue Date of the first Tranche of 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 Condition 6(b) or upon its becoming due and repayable as provided in Condition 9 is not paid or available for payment when due, the amount due and repayable in respect of such Zero Coupon Note shall be the Amortised 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: |
(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 Amortised 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.
Page 71
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).
(j) | Purchases |
The Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may at any time purchase Notes (provided that, in the case of definitive Notes, all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto are purchased therewith) at any price in the open market or otherwise. If purchases are made by tender, tenders must be available to all Noteholders alike. Where the Issuer is Toyota Credit Canada Inc., such Notes shall be surrendered (in the case of Bearer Notes) to any Paying Agent, or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) the TCCI Registrar or TCCI Transfer Agent, or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) the TMCC Registrar or TMCC Transfer Agent, for cancellation and, where the Issuer is Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V., Toyota Finance Australia Limited or Toyota Motor Credit Corporation such Notes may, at the option of the Issuer, either be (i) resold or reissued, or held by the Issuer for subsequent resale or reissuance, or (ii) surrendered to any Paying Agent for cancellation, in which event such Notes and Coupons may not be resold or reissued.
(k) | Cancellation |
All Notes which are redeemed will forthwith be cancelled (together with all unmatured Coupons attached thereto or surrendered therewith at the time of redemption). All Notes so cancelled and any of the Notes purchased and cancelled pursuant to Condition 6(j) (together, in the case of definitive Notes, with all unmatured Coupons cancelled therewith) shall be forwarded to the Agent and cannot be reissued or resold. If any Note is purchased and cancelled without all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, the Issuer shall make payment in respect of any such missing Coupon in accordance with Condition 5 as if the relevant Note had remained outstanding for the period to which such Coupon relates.

The Agency Agreement or the TCCI Note Agency Agreement or the TMCC Note Agency Agreement contains provisions permitting any entity into which any Paying Agent and (in the case of the TCCI Note Agency Agreement and the TMCC Note Agency Agreement only) any registrar,
Page 79
paying agent or transfer agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to become the successor paying agent, registrar or transfer agent (as appropriate).
12. | 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 8. 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.
13. | Consolidation or Merger |
The Issuer 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 the Issuer shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation shall be a corporation organised and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated or any province, territory, state or other political subdivision 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 7) on all the Notes and Coupons, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Notes to be performed by the Issuer by an amendment to the Agency Agreement or, as the case may be, the TCCI Note Agency Agreement or the TMCC Note Agency Agreement, executed by such successor corporation, the Issuer and the Agent or the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent or the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent, as the case may be, and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default under Condition 9, 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.

Page 83
the TCCI Note Agency Agreement) the TCCI Registrar and the TCCI Transfer Agent and (in the case of the TMCC Note Agency Agreement) the TMCC Registrar and the TMCC Transfer Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes and Coupons.

The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby and at any adjourned meeting will be one or more persons holding or representing 25 per cent. in aggregate nominal amount of such Notes then 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 (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) to the TCCI Note Agency Agreement, or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to the TMCC Note Agency Agreement, or to the terms and conditions of the Notes and Coupons will be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes 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 and Coupons.

Page 84
Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc.) to the TCCI Note Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to the TMCC Note Agency Agreement.

All notices regarding the Notes shall be validly given if published in a leading English language daily newspaper of general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or, if this is not practicable, one other such English language newspaper as the Issuer, in consultation with the Agent, shall decide. The Issuer 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 admitted to trading or are listed by another relevant authority. Any such 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. 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 16.
Until such time as any definitive Notes are issued, so long as the global Note(s) is or are held in its or 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; provided that,
Page 85

Any notice delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg shall be deemed to have been given to the holders of the Notes on the third 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 holders of Registered Notes in definitive form will be deemed to be validly given if sent by mail to them (or, in the case of joint holders of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc., to the first-named in the TCCI Register or, in the case of joint holders of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, to the first-named in the TMCC Register) at their respective addresses as recorded in such register, and will be deemed to have been validly given on the fourth business day after the date of such mailing.
Notices to be given by any holder of the Notes shall be in writing and given by lodging the same, together with the relative Note or Notes, in the case of Bearer Notes, with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc., with the TCCI Registrar or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, with the TMCC Registrar. While any of the Notes are represented by a global Note, such notice may be given by any holder of a Note to, in the case of Bearer Notes, the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc., the TCCI Registrar or, in the case of Registered Notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, the TMCC Registrar, via Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner as the Agent or TCCI Registrar or TMCC Registrar and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, may approve for this purpose.
17. | Further Issues |
The Issuer shall be at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders to create and issue further notes ranking pari passu in all respects (or in all respects save for the Issue Date, the amount and the date of the first payment of interest thereon and/or the Issue Price) and so that the same shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Notes and references in these Terms and Conditions to “Notes” shall be construed accordingly.
18. | Redenomination and Exchange |

The Issuer may (if so specified in the applicable Final Terms) without the consent of the holder of any Note, Coupon or Talon, elect that the Notes shall be exchangeable for Notes expressed to be denominated in euro in accordance with such arrangements as the Issuer may decide.
19. | Disapplication |
The Notes confer no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 to enforce any term of the Notes, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

The Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note have been admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc’s Regulated Market.4 This Global Note is a Temporary Global Note in respect of a duly authorised issue of [Specified Currency and Nominal Amount of Tranche] [Specified Currency and Nominal Amount of Series] Notes Due [Year of Maturity] (the Notes) of [Specified Currency and Specified Denomination] each of 5[Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V.] [Toyota Credit Canada Inc.] [Toyota Finance Australia Limited] [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation] (the Issuer). 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 Part A of the Final Terms relating to the Notes (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 in this Temporary Global Note.
This Temporary Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and the Agency Agreement dated 12 September 2014 (the Agency Agreement, which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time), between Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V., Toyota Credit Canada Inc., Toyota Finance Australia Limited, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon (the Agent); provided, however, that references to the Conditions shall mean the Conditions in effect on the date of this Temporary Global Note.
This Temporary Global Note is to be held by a common depositary (or, if the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, a common safekeeper) for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg) and/or such other relevant clearing agency as is specified in the 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 Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on the Maturity Date, and/or on such earlier date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount payable under the Conditions in respect of the Notes then represented by this Temporary Global Note on each such date 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 (if the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note) presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Temporary Global Note to or to the order of the Agent at the principal office of the Agent in London, or at the offices of any of the other paying agents located outside the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any State of the United States and the District of Columbia (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes, but in each case subject to the requirements as to certification provided herein. Any moneys paid by the Issuer to the Agent for the payment of principal 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 Issuer and upon such repayment all liability of the Agent with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Temporary Global Note as the same shall become due.
If the Final Terms indicate 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 and Clearstream, Luxembourg (together, the relevant Clearing Systems). The records of the relevant Clearing Systems (which expression in this Temporary 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 Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note shall be the aggregate nominal amount stated in the Final Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in the relevant column in Schedule Two hereto.
On any redemption of, or payment of interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:
(i) | if the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary 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 Temporary Global Note shall be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled; or |
(ii) | if the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption, payment or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording any such redemption, payment or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. 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 aggregate nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled. |
Payments due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Temporary Global Note shall be made to the bearer of this Temporary Global Note and each payment so made will discharge the Issuer’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to above shall not affect such discharge.

6[For the purposes only of the Interest Act (Canada), in respect of Fixed Rate Notes the nominal yearly rate of interest which is equivalent to the Fixed Rate of Interest per annum, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, for any period of less than one year may be calculated by multiplying the Fixed Rate of Interest by a fraction of which: (a) the numerator is the product of (i) the actual number of days in a year commencing on and including the first day of such period and ending on but not including the corresponding day in the next calendar year and (ii) the sum of (y) the product of 30 and the number of complete months elapsed in such period and (z) the number of days elapsed in any incomplete month in such period treating all calendar months as having 30 days; and (b) the denominator is the product of 360 and the actual number of days in such period (including the first but excluding the last, such day). For the purposes only of the Interest Act (Canada), in respect of Floating Rate Notes the nominal yearly rate of interest which is equivalent to the Rate of Interest per annum for any Specified Period (as defined in the Final Terms) calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 360 days may be calculated by multiplying such Rate of Interest by a fraction of which the numerator is the actual number of days in a year commencing on and including the first day of such Specified Period and ending on but not including the corresponding day in the next calendar year and the denominator is 365 or 360, as the case may be.]
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 a relevant Clearing System a certificate 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 of non-US beneficial ownership in the form required by it. On or after the Exchange Date the bearer of this Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to receive any payment of interest due unless, upon due certification, exchange of this Temporary Global Note is improperly withheld or refused.
On or after the date which is 40 days after the completion of the distribution of the Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note or, at the option of the Issuer (with the consent of the lead manager(s) of the Tranche(s) of Notes of the relevant Series) the date which is 40 days after the completion of the distribution of any additional issuance or issuances of one or more Tranches of Notes of the same Series that occurs within the 40 day period after the issue of this Temporary Global Note (the latest of such dates referred to as the Exchange Date), this Temporary Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part (free of charge) for, as specified in the Final Terms, either (a) Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Coupons and Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Appendices X-0, X-0 and B-5, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) 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 Bearer Notes) or, (b) either (i) if the Final Terms indicate 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 (ii) if the Final Terms indicate 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 in the form set out in Appendix B-2 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Final Terms attached thereto) in each case upon notice being given to the Agent by the relevant Clearing System acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Temporary Global Note.

The Issuer shall procure that, as appropriate, (i) the Definitive Bearer Notes or (as the case may be) the Permanent Global Note (where the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note) shall be so issued and delivered or (ii) the interests in the Permanent Global Note (where the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note) shall be recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing System, in each case in exchange for only that portion of this Temporary Global Note in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Agent by a relevant Clearing System a certificate to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in a particular nominal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate of non-US beneficial ownership from such person in the form required by it and, in the case of Definitive Bearer Notes, subject to such notice period and payment of costs as may be specified in the Final Terms.
If Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) 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 Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Coupons and Talons pursuant to the terms hereof.
On an exchange of the whole of this Temporary Global Note, this Temporary Global Note shall be surrendered to or to the order of the Agent. On an exchange of part only of this Temporary Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:
(i) | if the Final Terms indicate 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 Final Terms indicate 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 Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer whereupon 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 exchanged. 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 Issuer 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 in this Temporary Global Note) be entitled to the same benefits as if it were bearer of Definitive Bearer Notes, and the relative Coupons and Talons in the form set out in Appendices X-0, X-0 and B-5, respectively, to the Agency Agreement.
Accordingly, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law or applicable regulation, the Issuer and any Paying Agent may deem and treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner of this Temporary Global Note for all purposes (whether or not this Temporary Global Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon or notice of any previous loss or theft or trust or other interest herein). In the event that this Temporary Global Note (or any part of it) has become due and repayable in
Page 94
accordance with Condition 9 and payment in full of the amount due has not been made to the bearer in accordance with the provisions set out above then this Temporary Global Note will become void at 8.00 p.m. (London time) on such day and the bearer will have no further rights under this Temporary Global Note (but without prejudice to the rights which the bearer or any other person may have under Clause 31 of the Agency Agreement in respect of the Notes issued under the Programme Agreement pursuant to which this Temporary Global Note is issued).
This Temporary Global Note and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.
This Temporary Global Note shall not be valid unless authenticated by the Agent and, if the Final Terms indicate that this Temporary Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note (i) which is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, or (ii) in respect of which the Issuer has notified the Agent that effectuation is to be applicable, effectuated by the entity appointed as common safekeeper by the relevant Clearing Systems. This Temporary Global Note may be duly executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If the Final Terms indicate 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 and Clearstream, Luxembourg (together, the relevant Clearing Systems). The records of the relevant Clearing Systems (which expression in this Permanent 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.

(ii) | the Issuer has been notified that both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (or any other agreed clearing system in which this Permanent Global Note is being held) 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, as a result, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or such other agreed clearing system in which this Permanent Global Note is being held are no longer willing or able to discharge properly their responsibilities with respect to this Permanent Global Note and the Agent and the Issuer are unable to locate a qualified successor; or |
(iii) | the Issuer 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 exchangeable following the occurrence of an Exchange Event:

(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 Issuer may also give notice to the Agent requesting exchange. Any such exchange shall occur not later than 45 days after the date of receipt of the first relevant notice by the Agent. |
The 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 general business in London at the principal office of the Agent in London; provided, however, the first notice given to the Agent by Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or such other relevant clearing agency or the Issuer shall give rise to the issue of Definitive Bearer Notes for the total amount of Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note. The aggregate nominal amount of Definitive Bearer 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 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 this Permanent Global Note, this Permanent Global Note shall be surrendered to or to the order of the Agent.
Until the exchange of the whole of this Permanent Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided in this Permanent Global Note) be entitled to the same benefits as if it were the bearer of Definitive Bearer Notes, and the relative Coupons and Talons in the form set out in Appendices X-0, X-0 and B-5, respectively, to the Agency Agreement.
Accordingly, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law or applicable regulation, the Issuer and any Paying Agent may deem and treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner of this Permanent Global Note for all purposes (whether or not this Permanent Global Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon or notice of any previous loss or theft or trust or other interest herein). In the event that this Permanent Global Note (or any part of it) has become due and repayable in accordance with Condition 9 and payment in full of the amount due has not been made to the bearer in accordance with the provisions set out above then this Permanent Global Note will become void at 8.00 p.m. (London time) on such day and the bearer will have no further rights under this Permanent Global Note (but without prejudice to the rights which the bearer or any other person may have under Clause 31 of the Agency Agreement in respect of the Notes issued under the Programme Agreement pursuant to which this Permanent Global Note is issued).
This Permanent Global Note and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.
This Permanent Global Note shall not be valid unless authenticated by the Agent and, if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note (i) which is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, or (ii) in respect of which the Issuer has notified the Agent that effectuation is to be applicable, effectuated by the entity appointed as common safekeeper by the relevant Clearing Systems. This Permanent Global Note may be duly executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Permanent Global Note to be duly executed on its behalf.

In addition, the Calculation Agent agrees that it will provide a copy of all calculations made by it which affect the nominal amount outstanding of any Relevant Notes which are identified on the Schedule as being New Global Notes to the Agent to the contact details set out in the signature page hereof.

(b) | The Calculation Agent shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Issuer against any losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions or demands (including, but not limited to, all reasonable costs, legal fees, charges and expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer in disputing or defending any of the foregoing) |
Page 118
which the Issuer may incur or which may be made against it (excluding consequential losses and losses of profit) as a result of or in connection with the breach by the Calculation Agent of the terms of this Agreement or its wilful default, negligence or bad faith or that of its officers, directors or employees or any of them.
(5) | CONDITIONS OF APPOINTMENT |
(a) | In acting hereunder in connection with the Relevant Notes, the Calculation Agent shall act solely as agent of the Issuer and shall not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Relevant Notes or coupons (if any) appertaining thereto (the Coupons). |
(b) | In relation to each Series, the Calculation Agent shall be obliged to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein and in the Conditions specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Conditions against the Calculation Agent other than the duty to act honestly and in good faith and to exercise the diligence of a reasonably prudent agent in comparable circumstances. |
(c) | The Calculation Agent may consult with legal and other professional advisers and the opinion of such advisers shall be full and complete protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such advisers. |
(d) | The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered in reliance upon any instruction, request or order from the Issuer or the Agent, or any notice, resolution, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement, cable or other paper or document which it reasonably believes, after making reasonable investigation of the same, to be genuine and to have been delivered, signed or sent by the proper party or parties or upon written instructions from the Issuer. |
(e) | The Calculation Agent, and any of its officers, directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Notes or Coupons (if any) with the same rights that it or he or she would have if the Calculation Agent were not appointed hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Notes or Coupons (if any) or other obligations of the Issuer as freely as if the Calculation Agent were not appointed hereunder. |
(6) | TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT |
(a) | The Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Calculation Agent at any time by giving to the Calculation Agent and the Agent at least 90 days’ prior written notice to that effect, provided that, so long as any of the Relevant Notes is outstanding, (i) such notice shall not expire less than 45 days before any date upon which any payment is due in respect of any Relevant Notes and (ii) notice shall be given in accordance with Condition 16 to the holders of the Relevant Notes at least 30 days prior to any removal of the Calculation Agent. |

(e) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Subclauses 6(a), 6(b) and 6(d) above, so long as any of the Relevant Notes is outstanding, the termination of the appointment of the Calculation Agent (whether by the Issuer or by the resignation of the Calculation Agent) shall not be effective unless upon the expiry of the relevant notice a successor Calculation Agent has been appointed. The Issuer agrees with the Calculation Agent that if, by the day falling 10 days before the expiry of any notice under Clause 6(d), the Issuer has not appointed a replacement Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of the Issuer, to appoint as Calculation Agent in its place an investment bank which the Issuer shall approve (such approval not to be unnecessarily withheld). |

Written notice of any such merger, conversion or consolidation shall forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Agent by the Calculation Agent. |

The documentation of the Programme provides for the issue of Notes denominated in such currency (subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions) as may be agreed between the Issuer (as defined below) and the relevant Purchaser(s) and with a minimum maturity of one month (subject to certain restrictions as to minimum and/or maximum maturities as set out in the Prospectus (as defined below) describing the Programme) and being any of:
● | Fixed Rates Notes |
● | Floating Rate Notes |
● | Zero Coupon Notes |
● | other forms of Notes agreed between the relevant Purchaser(s) and the relevant Issuer. |
All terms with initial capitals used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus dated 9 September 2016 as supplemented or replaced from time to time (the Prospectus) or, as the case may be, in the Programme Agreement dated 9 September 2016 between Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V. (TMF), Toyota Credit Canada Inc. (TCCI), Toyota Finance Australia Limited (TFA) and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC and together with TMF, TCCI and TFA, the Issuers) and the Dealers named therein as amended, supplemented, novated or restated from time to time (the Programme Agreement) pursuant to which the Issuers may issue Notes. References herein to Issuer are to TMF, TCCI, TFA or TMCC, as the case may be, in its capacity as Issuer of Notes.
As used herein in relation to any Notes which are to have a “listing” or to be “listed” (i) on the London Stock Exchange, listing and listed shall be construed to mean that such Notes have been admitted to the Official List in accordance with the listing rules of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Regulated Market and (ii) on any other Stock Exchange within the European Economic Area, listing and listed shall be construed to mean that the Notes have been admitted to trading on a market within that jurisdiction which is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC).
This Operating and Administrative Procedures Memorandum applies to Notes issued on and after 9 September 2016. The procedures set out in Annex 1 may be varied by agreement between the Issuer, the Agent and the relevant Purchaser, including to take account
Page 126
of any standardised procedures published by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (together, the ICSDs) and/or the International Capital Market Services Association (ICMSA) and/or the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). The timings set out in these procedures represent optimum timings to ensure a smooth settlement process. Each of the ICSDs has its own published deadlines for taking certain of the actions described herein (which may be later than the timings described herein).

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: |
(1) | 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 London and any other place specified in the applicable Final Terms as an Additional Business Centre; |
(2) | (i) in relation to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than euro and Renminbi, 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 centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency; or (ii) in relation to Notes denominated in euro, a day on which the TARGET2 system is open; or (iii) in relation to any sum payable in Renminbi, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business and settlement of Renminbi payments in Hong Kong. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial centre of any country shall be as provided in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (except in the case of Australia and New Zealand, where the principal financial centre will be Sydney or Auckland, respectively); and |
(3) | 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 Issuer. |
Page 132
(d) | If at any time the Agent is notified by the Issuer 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 Issuer, 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 Prospectus under Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive the timings outlined above 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, Luxembourg is used for an issue, references to the ICSDs shall be interpreted accordingly. |

(ii) | if the global Notes are not to be issued in 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 depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or a nominee for any other relevant clearing system (as applicable), |
without interest coupons or talons.
Notes (including Notes in registered form issued by TCCI or TMCC, as described below) may be issued in a form that permits them to be held in a manner which will allow Eurosystem eligibility. Any indication in the applicable Final Terms that the Notes are to be so held means that the Notes are to be deposited with the Common Safekeeper (and, in the case of Notes in registered form issued by TCCI or TMCC, registered in the name of a nominee of the Common Safekeeper) and does not necessarily mean that the Notes will be recognised 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 as such recognition depends upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria. Any indication in the applicable Final Terms that the Notes are not to be so held means that should the Eurosystem eligibility criteria be amended in the future such that the Notes are capable of meeting such criteria, the Notes may then be deposited with the Common Safekeeper (and in the case of Notes in registered form issued by TCCI or TMCC, registered in the name of a nominee of the Common Safekeeper) and does not necessarily mean that the Notes will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem at any time during their life as such recognition depends upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
Where the global Notes issued in respect of any Tranche are in NGN form, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg will be notified whether such global Notes are intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility. If the global Note is a NGN, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by such global Notes will be the aggregate from time to time entered in the records of both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (which expression in such global Note means the records that each of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg holds for its customers which reflect the amount of each such customer’s interest in the Notes) will be conclusive evidence of the nominal amount of Notes represented by such global Note and, for such purposes, a statement issued by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, stating that the nominal amount of Notes represented by such global Note at any time will be conclusive evidence of the records of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg at that time, as the case may be.
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 issued in NGN form) only upon certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg; provided, however, that no such
Page 171
certification will be required with respect to Notes that, as specified in the applicable Final Terms (i) have been issued in reliance on the procedures under United States Treasury regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(C)) (or any substantially similar successor United States Treasury regulations) (the “TEFRA C Rules”) or (ii) have an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or the equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the issue date) and are intended to comply with United States Treasury regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10).
Interests in the Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable (free of charge) either for:
(i) | interests in a permanent global Note (a “Permanent Global Note”) without interest coupons or talons; or |
(ii) | for security-printed definitive Notes, |
(as indicated in the applicable Final Terms), in each case against certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations in accordance with the terms of the Temporary Global Note:
(a) | on and after the date which is 40 days after completion of the distribution of the relevant Tranche of Notes; or |
(b) | at the option of the relevant Issuer (with the consent of the Lead Manager(s) of the Tranche(s) of Notes of the relevant Series) on the date which is 40 days after completion of the distribution of any additional issuance or issuances of one or more Tranches of Notes of the same Series that occurs within the 40 day period after the issue of the Temporary Global Note, |
(the latest of such dates in paragraphs (a) and (b) is referred to as the “Exchange Date”),
provided that no such certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership will be required with respect to Notes that, as specified in the applicable Final Terms (i) have been issued in compliance with the TEFRA C Rules or (ii) have an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or the equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the issue date) and are intended to comply with United States Treasury regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10).
The holder of a Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to collect any payment of interest or principal due on or after the Exchange Date unless, upon due certification, exchange of the Temporary Global Note for an interest in a Permanent Global Note or for definitive Notes is improperly withheld or refused. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement (as defined under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes”) the Agent shall arrange that, where a further Tranche of Notes is issued after the Exchange Date, the Notes of such further Tranche shall be assigned security code numbers by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg which are different from the security code numbers assigned to Notes of any other Tranche of the same Series until at least the expiry of the distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) applicable to the Notes of such Tranche.
The Permanent Global Note will, unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer, if the global Notes are issued in NGN form 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 issued in NGN form, the Permanent Global Note will be delivered to the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Page 172
Payments of principal and interest (if any) on a Permanent Global Note will be made through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (against presentation or surrender (as the case may be) of the Permanent Global Note if the Permanent Global Note is not issued in NGN form) without any requirement for certification.
A Permanent Global Note will, if specified in the applicable Final Terms, be exchanged (free of charge) in whole, but not in part, for security printed definitive Notes with, where applicable, interest coupons and talons attached (i) at the request of the relevant Issuer; and/or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event (as defined below).
For these purposes, “Exchange Event” means that (i) an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9 under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes”) has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the relevant Issuer has been notified that both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, or any other agreed clearing system in which such Permanent Global Note is being held, 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, as a result, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or such other agreed clearing system in which such Permanent Global Note is being held are no longer willing or able to discharge properly their responsibilities with respect to such Notes and the Agent and the relevant Issuer are unable to locate a qualified successor; or (iii) the relevant Issuer has or will become subject to adverse tax consequences as a result of a change in tax laws after the issuance of the Notes which would not be suffered were the Notes represented by the Permanent Global Note in definitive form.
The relevant Issuer will promptly give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16 under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes” if an Exchange Event occurs. In the event of the occurrence of an Exchange Event, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other agreed clearing system in which such Permanent Global Note is being held (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in such 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 relevant Issuer may also give notice to the Agent requesting exchange. Any such exchange shall occur not later than 45 days after the date of receipt of the first relevant notice by the Agent.
If a portion of the Notes continues 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; provided, however, that no such certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership will be required with respect to Notes that (i) are issued in reliance on the TEFRA C Rules or (ii) as specified in the applicable Final Terms, have an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or the equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the issue date) and are intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10).
No definitive Note delivered in exchange for a Permanent Global Note or a Temporary Global Note shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any locations in the United States of America in connection with such exchange. Temporary Global Notes and Permanent Global Notes and definitive Notes will be issued by the Agent pursuant to the Agency Agreement.
If specified in the applicable Final Terms, other clearance systems may be used in addition to or in lieu of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg provided that, in the case of an issue of Bearer Notes, such other clearance system is capable of complying with the certification requirements set forth in the Temporary Global Note or the Notes are issued in compliance with the TEFRA C Rules 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.
Page 173
Temporary Global Notes and Permanent Global Notes will be issued in bearer form only. Definitive Notes will be issued in bearer form or, in the case of Notes issued by TCCI or TMCC, if so indicated in the applicable Final Terms, in registered form.
For United States federal income tax purposes each Permanent Global Note and each definitive Note issued in bearer form which has an original maturity of more than 365 days (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend) issued by TMF, TCCI or TFA (other than Notes issued in compliance with the TEFRA C Rules) and any interest coupon which may be detached therefrom (or, if the obligation is evidenced by a book entry, appears in the book or record in which the book entry is made) will carry the following legend:
“Any United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of the United States) 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 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 or interest coupons.
For United States federal tax purposes each Temporary Global Note, each Permanent Global Note and each definitive Note issued in bearer form which has an original maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or the equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the issue date) and, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, is intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10) and any interest coupon which may be detached therefrom (or, if the obligation is evidenced by a book entry, appears in the book or record in which the book entry is made) will carry the following legend:
“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 of the United States 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).”
Unless Notes issued by TMF, TCCI or TFA in bearer form will be issued, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, in compliance with the TEFRA C Rules, Notes issued by TMF, TCCI or TFA in bearer form will be issued in compliance with United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) (or any substantially similar successor United States Treasury regulations) (the “D Rules”) and Notes issued by TMCC with maturities at issuance of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend) and in a face amount or nominal amount of not less than U.S.$500,000 (as determined based on the spot rate on the date of issuance if such Notes are issued in a currency other than U.S. dollars) that, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, are intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-5(b)(10), will be issued in compliance with the D Rules (excluding the certification requirement).
TMCC will not issue notes in bearer form with a maturity at issuance of more than 183 days (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend).
Notes may be issued in registered form (“Registered Notes”) by either TCCI or TMCC, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Each Tranche of Registered Notes issued by TCCI or TMCC will be represented on issue by a registered global Note (each a “Registered Global Note”) which will be (a) if the applicable Final Terms specify the Registered Notes are intended to held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility (being the new safekeeping structure (“NSS”)), deposited on the relevant Issue Date with the Common Safekeeper; or (b) if the applicable Final Terms specify the Registered Notes are not intended to be held in a manner which
Page 174
would allow Eurosystem eligibility, deposited on the relevant Issue Date with a nominee or a depositary or common depositary for the agreed clearing system(s). Such Registered Global Note will not be exchangeable for Registered Notes in definitive form except on an Exchange Event (as that term is defined in the Registered Global Note). With respect to each Tranche of Registered Notes, TCCI has appointed, under an amended and restated note agency agreement dated 9 September 2016 (the “TCCI Note Agency Agreement”), and TMCC has appointed under a note agency agreement dated 9 September 2016 (the “TMCC Note Agency Agreement”), a registrar and a transfer agent and paying agent and may appoint other or additional transfer agents or paying agents, either generally or in respect of a particular Series of Registered Notes.
The applicable Final Terms will specify whether the Notes will be represented by:
(i) | a Temporary Global Note in bearer form without Coupons which will be deposited with a common depositary or, as the case may be, a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg on or about the Issue Date or a date as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and that the Temporary Global Note is exchangeable for a Permanent Global Note in bearer form on and after the Exchange Date and (except for Notes (x) with an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or its equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the Issue Date) and specified in the applicable Final Terms as intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10) and (y) as specified in the applicable Final Terms, that have been issued in reliance on TEFRA C Rules) upon certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership; or |
(ii) | a Temporary Global Note in bearer form without Coupons which will be deposited with a common depositary or, as the case may be, a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg on or about the Issue Date or a date as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and that the Temporary Global Note is exchangeable for security printed definitive Notes on and after the Exchange Date and (except for Notes (x) with an initial maturity of 183 days or less (taking into consideration unilateral rights to roll or extend), a minimum denomination of $500,000 (or its equivalent value in any other currency, determined at the spot rate on the Issue Date) and specified in the applicable Final Terms as intended to comply with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-5(b)(10) and (y) as specified in the applicable Final Terms, that have been issued in reliance on TEFRA C Rules) upon certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership; or |
(iii) | a Permanent Global Note in bearer form without Coupons which will be deposited with a common depositary or, as the case may be, a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg on or about the Issue Date or a date as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and that the Permanent Global Note is exchangeable (free of charge) in whole, but not in part, for security printed definitive Notes either (a) at the request of the relevant Issuer; and/or (b) upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event (as defined in the Permanent Global Note); or |
(iv) | in the case of TCCI or TMCC only, a Registered Global Note registered in the name of a nominee for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (in the case of TCCI only) or a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other clearing system exchangeable (free of charge) for security printed definitive Notes only upon an Exchange Event (as defined in the Registered Global Note). |
The exchange of a Permanent Global Note or a Registered Global Note for printed definitive Notes by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any Noteholder) or at any time at the request of the relevant Issuer should not be expressed to be applicable in the applicable Final Terms if the Notes are issued with a minimum Specified Denomination such as €100,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) plus one or more higher
Page 175
multiples of another smaller amount such as €1,000 (or its equivalent in another currency). Furthermore, such Specified Denomination construction is not permitted in relation to any issue of Notes which is to be represented on issue by a Temporary Global Note exchangeable for printed definitive Notes.
Notes shall not be physically delivered in Belgium, except to a clearing system, a depository or other institution for the purpose of their immobilisation in accordance with Article 4 of the Belgian Law of 14 December 2005.
Each Issuer may agree with any Dealer that there may be a secondary distribution (“Uridashi”) of the Notes (“Uridashi Notes”) to be made in Japan in compliance with the terms of a securities registration statement, amendments thereto and supplemental documents that have been, or will be, filed by the relevant Issuer with the Director-General of the Kanto Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance of Japan with respect to such secondary distribution of Uridashi Notes in Japan and in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan or under circumstances which will result in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines promulgated by the relevant Japanese governmental and regulatory authorities in effect at the relevant time.
Each Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the terms and conditions of the Notes herein, in which case a new Prospectus will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes.
