|
|
(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.

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 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
|
Page 16
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 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. 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.
|
|
(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 each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Bearer Notes as aforesaid following receipt by it of such payment.
|
Page 17
|
(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, Receipts 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, Receipts 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 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 Global Note, make a record of such shortfall on the relevant Schedule to the Global Note and such record shall, in the
|
Page 18
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.

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;

|
(7)

Page 33
will be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons, whether or not they have given such consent or were present at any meeting, and whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or waivers is made upon the Notes, Receipts and Coupons.

(8)

|
(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, Receiptholder or Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar and at least 30 days’ prior notice to Noteholders as provided in Condition 16, designate a Redenomination Date. With effect from the
Page 34
Redenomination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Conditions:
|
(a)
|
the Notes and Receipts shall (unless already so provided by mandatory provisions of applicable law) be deemed to be redenominated in euro in the denomination of euro 0.01 with a nominal amount for each Note and Receipt equal to the nominal amount of the Note or Receipt in the original Specified Currency, converted into euro at the Established Rate, and the Specified Currency shall be deemed to be Euro; provided that, if the relevant Issuer determines, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar, 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, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar 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, the Registrar 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, the Registrar, shall determine and notify to Noteholders;
|
|
(c)
|
if Definitive Notes have been issued, all unmatured Coupons and Receipts denominated in the original Specified Currency (whether or not attached to the Notes) will become void and no payments will be made in respect of them with effect from the date on which the relevant Issuer gives notice (the Exchange Notice) that Euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons are available for exchange (provided that such securities are so available). New certificates in respect of Euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes, Receipts and Coupons in the original Specified Currency in such manner as the relevant Issuer, after consultation with the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar, may specify and shall be notified to Noteholders in the Exchange Notice. No Exchange Notice may be given less than 15 days prior to any date for payment of principal or interest on the Notes;
|
|
(d)
|
after the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons (other than, unless the Redenomination Date is on or after such date as the original Specified Currency ceases to be a subdivision of the euro, payments of interest in respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date) will be made solely in euro as though references in the Notes, the Receipts and the
|
Page 35
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);
|
(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 Receipts or Coupons are presented) for payment by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01. If the Notes are in global form, after the Redenomination Date, the amount of interest due in respect of Notes represented by the Global Note will be calculated by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of such Notes and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01; 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, Receiptholder or Couponholder, on giving prior notice to Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar 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, the Registrar, and as may be specified in the notice, including arrangements under which Receipts and Coupons (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons to be issued on an exchange of matured Talons) unmatured at the date so specified become void.
Page 36
|
(3)
|
Amendments and Modifications
|
The applicable Final Terms in relation to any Notes may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with the provisions herein, replace or modify the provisions for the purpose of such Notes. In addition, the relevant Issuer and the Agent or, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar may make any changes, without the consent of, but with notification to (in accordance with Condition 16 and this Clause 30), any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder, to this Agreement necessary to implement the provisions of Condition 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, the Registrar, 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 the Registered Notes, the Registrar of such deemed amendments.

|
|
(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)

(6)

|
|
(7)

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 17 September 2010 (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, 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 issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc. (“Registered Notes”) are also issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an amended and restated Note Agency Agreement dated 17 September 2010 (the “Note Agency Agreement”) and made between Toyota Credit Canada Inc. as Issuer, Royal Bank of Canada as registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”, which expression shall include any successor registrar) and Royal Bank of Canada, London branch as transfer agent and paying agent (the “Transfer Agent”, which expression shall include any additional or successor transfer agent or paying agent appointed for Registered Notes).
References in these Terms and Conditions to the “Notes” shall be references to the Notes of this Series and shall mean (i) in relation to any Notes represented by a global Note, units of the lowest Specified Denomination in the Specified Currency of the relevant Notes, (ii) definitive Notes issued in exchange (or part exchange) for a temporary or permanent global Note or 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. Definitive Notes repayable in instalments have receipts (“Receipts”) for the payment of the instalments of principal (other than the final instalment) attached on issue.
The Notes, the Receipts 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 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 is attached hereto or endorsed hereon and supplements these Terms and Conditions and may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions, replace or modify these Terms and Conditions for the purposes of the Notes. References
Page 43
herein to the “applicable Final Terms” shall mean the Final Terms attached hereto or endorsed hereon.
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 Prospectus dated 17 September 2010, the Credit Support Agreements and (if the Notes are offered to the public in a Member State of the European Union, Iceland, Norway or Liechtenstein or admitted to trading on a regulated market within the meaning of 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. Copies of the Note Agency Agreement (if the Notes are Registered Notes) are available free of charge and available for inspection by the holders of Registered Notes at the specified offices of the Registrar and the 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, the holder of the Coupons (the “Couponholders”) and holders of Receipts (the “Receiptholders”) are deemed to have notice of the Agency Agreement and the applicable Final Terms, which are binding on them. The holders of Registered Notes are deemed to have notice of the Note Agency Agreement, which is binding on them.
Words and expressions defined in the Agency Agreement or (if the Note is a Registered Note) in the Note Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Final Terms shall have the same meanings where used in these Terms and Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated. In the event of inconsistency between the Agency Agreement, (if the Note is a Registered Note) the Note Agency Agreement or the applicable Final Terms, the applicable Final Terms will prevail.

The Notes may be issued in bearer form (“Bearer Notes”) or, in respect of Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc., in bearer or registered form as set out in the applicable Final Terms and, in the case of definitive Bearer Notes, serially numbered, in the Specified Currency (or Specified Currencies in the case of Dual Currency Notes) and in the Specified Denomination(s), all as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Bearer Notes may not be exchanged for Registered Notes and vice versa.
The Note may be a Note bearing interest on a fixed rate basis (“Fixed Rate Note”), a Note bearing interest on a floating rate basis (“Floating Rate Note”), a Note issued on a non-interest bearing basis (“Zero Coupon Note”), a Note with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to an index, index basket and/or a formula (“Index Linked Interest Note”), a Note with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to certain parameters (“Range Accrual Note”) or any combination of the foregoing, depending upon the interest basis specified in the applicable Final Terms. The Note may be a Note with respect to which principal is calculated by reference to an index or index basket and/or a formula (“Index Linked Redemption Note”), a Note redeemable in instalments (“Instalment Note”), a Note with respect
Page 44
to which principal and/or interest is payable in one or more Specified Currencies other than the Specified Currency in which it is denominated (“Dual Currency Note”), a Note which is issued on a partly paid basis (“Partly Paid Note”) or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending upon the redemption or payment basis shown in the applicable Final Terms (and where appropriate in the context, “Index Linked Interest Notes” and “Index Linked Redemption Notes” are referred to collectively as “Index Linked Notes”).
Bearer Notes in definitive form are issued with Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to interest (other than interest due after the Maturity Date), Coupons and Couponholders in these Terms and Conditions are not applicable. Wherever Dual Currency Notes or Index Linked Notes are issued to bear interest on a fixed or floating rate basis or on a non-interest bearing basis, the provisions in these Terms and Conditions relating to Fixed Rate Notes, Floating Rate Notes and Zero Coupon Notes, respectively, shall, where the context so permits, apply to such Dual Currency Notes or Index Linked Notes.
Subject as set out below, title to Bearer Notes, Receipts and Coupons will pass by delivery. The holder of each Coupon or Receipt, whether or not such Coupon or Receipt is attached to a Note, in his capacity as such, shall be subject to and bound by all the provisions contained in the relevant Note. Subject as set out below, the Issuer and any Paying Agent may deem and treat the bearer of any Bearer Note, Receipt or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, including any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any global Bearer Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next succeeding paragraph.
For so long as any of the Notes is represented by a global Note, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) or any other agreed clearing system as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (other than a clearing agency (including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg) that is itself an account holder of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other agreed clearing system (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other agreed clearing system as to the nominal amount of Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error or proven error)) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Agent and any other Paying Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal (including premium (if any)) or interest on the Notes, for which purpose the bearer of the relevant global Bearer Note or registered holder of the registered global Note shall be treated by the Issuer, the Agent and any other Paying Agent as the holder of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant global Note (and the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly). Notes which are represented by a global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear or of Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be.
Title to Registered Notes issued by Toyota Credit Canada Inc. passes on due endorsement in the relevant register which Toyota Credit Canada Inc. shall procure to be kept by the Registrar. Subject as set out above, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, the registered holder of any Registered Note shall be deemed to be and may be treated as the absolute owner of such Registered Note for all purposes, whether or not such Registered Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
Page 45
notice of ownership, theft or loss thereof or any writing thereon made by anyone and no person shall be liable for so treating such registered holder (and the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly).
Provisions relating to the transfer of Registered Notes are set out in the relevant Registered Note and the Note Agency Agreement.
Any reference herein to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, except in relation to Bearer Notes in new global note (“NGN”) form or Registered Notes intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility (being the new safekeeping structure (“NSS”) and hereinafter referred to as “held under the NSS”), be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system approved by the Issuer, the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent and, in the case of Notes admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Regulated Market, the UK Listing Authority.
If the Specified Currency of the Note is a currency of one of the Member States of the European Union which has not adopted the euro, and if specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Note shall permit redenomination and exchange (as referred to in Condition 18 below or in such other manner as set forth in the applicable Final Terms) at the option of the Issuer.
2. Status of the Notes and the Credit Support Agreements
The Notes and any relevant Receipts and Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 3) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu and rateably without any preference among themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer from time to time outstanding. The Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons have the benefit of the Credit Support Agreements.
3. Negative Pledge
The Notes will be subject to this Condition 3 only if this Condition 3 is specified to be applicable in the applicable Final Terms. So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding (as defined in Condition 15) the Issuer will not create or permit to be outstanding any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other charge (each a “Security Interest”) (other than a Permitted Security Interest (as defined below)) for the benefit of the holders of any Relevant Indebtedness (as defined below) on the whole or any part of its property or assets, present or future, to secure any Relevant Indebtedness issued or expressly guaranteed by the Issuer or in respect of which the Issuer has given any indemnity without in any such case at the same time according to the Notes the same security as is granted or is outstanding in respect of such Relevant Indebtedness or such guarantee or indemnity or such other security as shall be approved by the written consent of holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding present or represented at a meeting of the holders of the Notes affected thereby at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement; provided, however, that such covenant will not apply to Security Interests securing outstanding Relevant Indebtedness which does not in the aggregate at any one time exceed 20 per cent. of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as defined below) of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries (if any). For the purposes of this Condition 3:
Page 46
“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items) after deducting therefrom all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortised debt discount and expense and other like intangibles of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries (or, where the Issuer has no consolidated subsidiaries, of the Issuer), all as set forth on the most recent balance sheet of the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries (or, where the Issuer has no consolidated subsidiaries, the most recent balance sheet of the Issuer) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as practised in the jurisdiction of the Issuer’s incorporation;
“Relevant Indebtedness” shall mean any indebtedness in the form of or represented by bonds, notes, debentures or other securities which have a final maturity of more than a year from the date of their creation and which are admitted to trading on one or more stock exchanges;
“Permitted Security Interest” shall mean:
(i)
|
any Security Interest arising by operation of law or any right of set-off;
|

|
(iii)
|
any Security Interest created in connection with, or pursuant to, a limited-recourse financing, securitisation or other like arrangement where the payment obligations in respect of the indebtedness secured by the relevant Security Interest are to be discharged from the revenues generated by assets over which such Security Interest is created (including, without limitation, receivables); and
|
“TMC subsidiary” means any of the Parent’s subsidiaries consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
4. Interest
(a) Interest on Fixed Rate Notes and Business Day Convention for Notes other than Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked 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 will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount as specified in the applicable Final Terms. Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Final Terms, amount to the Broken Amount(s) so specified.
As used in these Terms and Conditions, “Fixed Interest Period” means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date or the
Page 47
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 (as defined in Condition 4(b)(i) below), the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month in which event the full amount of payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day as if made on the day such payment was due. Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest due shall not be changed if payment is made on a day other than an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date as a result of the application of a Business Day Convention specified above or other Business Day Convention specified in the applicable Final Terms.
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, if they are Partly Paid Notes, the aggregate of the amount paid up); 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 other Day Count Fraction 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 (unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms):
|
(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)
|
Page 48
to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (the “Accrual Period”) is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period (as defined below) during which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the product of (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; and
|
|
(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); and
|
|
(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; and
|
|
(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.
|
Page 49
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 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.

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

If the applicable Final Terms specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount for any Interest Period, then in no event shall the Rate of Interest/Interest Amount for such Interest Period be less than such Minimum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount. If the applicable Final Terms specifies a Maximum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount for any Interest Period, then in no event shall the Rate of Interest/Interest Amount for such Interest Period be greater than such Maximum Rate of Interest/Interest Amount.

Determination of Rate of Interest and Calculation of Interest Amounts
|
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 or Index Linked Interest Notes, in each case, 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 or Index Linked Interest Notes which are represented by a global Note, the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Notes represented by such global Note (or, if they are Partly Paid Notes, the aggregate amount paid up);
|
|
(B)
|
in the case of Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes in definitive form, the Calculation Amount; or
|
|
(C)
|
in the case of Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest 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 or an Index Linked Interest 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 or Index Linked Interest 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, unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, 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)
|
Page 55
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:
|
Day Count Fraction = [p56a.jpg]
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
“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:
|
Day Count Fraction = [p56b.jpg]
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;
Page 56
“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:
|
Day Count Fraction = [p57.jpg]
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 (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

Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount
|
The Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent (in the case of Registered Notes) and any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the
Page 57
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 in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any such amendment will be promptly notified to each stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the time being admitted to trading and listed. For the purposes of this paragraph, 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.

(viii)
|
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 paragraph (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, Receiptholders and Couponholders and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and Transfer Agent and (in the absence of wilful default or bad faith) no liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Agent or the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by either of them of their powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.
|
(ix)
|
Indexed Linked Interest Notes
|
In the case of Index Linked Notes where the rate of interest is to be determined by reference to the Index and or the Formula, the rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with the Index and/or the Formula and in the manner specified in the applicable Final Terms. The date on which the interest rate is to be determined (the “Interest Determination Date”) shall be as set forth in the applicable Final Terms.
(c) Index Linked Notes and Dual Currency Notes
In the case of Index Linked Notes or Dual Currency Notes, if the Rate of Interest or Interest Amount cannot be determined by reference to an index and/or a formula or, as the case may be, an exchange rate, such Rate of Interest or Interest Amount payable shall be determined in the manner specified in the applicable Final Terms. The date on which the valuation of the Index is to be determined or the date on which any Formula or other variable or Rate of Exchange is to be determined under any Index Linked Notes or Dual Currency Notes (the “Determination Date”) shall be as set forth in the applicable Final Terms. If the applicable Final Terms specify a Minimum Final Redemption Amount then in no event shall the Final Redemption Amount be less than such Minimum Final Redemption Amount. If the applicable Final Terms specify a Maximum Final Redemption Amount then in no event shall the Final Redemption Amount exceed such Maximum Final Redemption Amount.
(d) 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(f)(iii). As from the Maturity Date,
Page 58
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.
(e) Partly Paid Notes
The Issuer may issue Notes where the issue price is payable in more than one instalment and which therefore remain partly paid (“Partly Paid Notes”). In the case of Partly Paid Notes (other than Partly Paid Notes which are Zero Coupon Notes), interest will accrue as aforesaid on the paid up nominal amount of such Notes and otherwise as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(f) Accrual of Interest
Each Note (or in the case of the redemption 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) the Registrar or the 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 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; and
|
|
(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.
|
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Condition 5(a), 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) the Registrar or 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, but (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 7.
Page 59
(b) Presentation of Notes, Receipts 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 paragraph (a) above against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of a sum due only, endorsement) of definitive Notes and payments of interest in respect of the definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the Specified Currency in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above 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, its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction).
In the case of definitive Notes, payments of instalments of principal (if any), other than the final instalment, will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of a sum due only, endorsement) of the relevant Receipt. Each Receipt must be presented for payment of the relevant instalment together with the definitive Note to which it appertains. If any definitive Note is redeemed or becomes repayable prior to the stated Maturity Date, principal will be payable in the manner provided in paragraph (a) on presentation and surrender of such definitive Note together with all unmatured Receipts appertaining thereto. Receipts presented without the definitive Note to which they appertain and unmatured Receipts do not constitute valid obligations of the Issuer. Upon the date on which any definitive Note becomes due and repayable, unmatured Receipts (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.
Upon the date on which any Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form (other than Dual Currency Interest Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes) become due and repayable, such Notes should be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons 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 becoming due and repayable prior to its Maturity Date, all unmatured Talons (if any) appertaining thereto will become void and no further Coupons will be issued in respect thereof.
Upon the date on which any Floating Rate Note, Dual Currency Interest Note or Index Linked Interest 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 in respect of such Note from (and including) the preceding Interest
Page 60
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 registered global Note or definitive Registered Note and as otherwise set out in these Terms and Conditions.
(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 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 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
|
Page 61
|
(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, Receipt 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 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);
|
|
(B)
|
London; and
|
|
(C)
|
any additional Applicable Business Centre specified in the applicable Final Terms; and
|
|
(ii)
|
either (1) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than the place of presentation (if presentation is required), London and any Applicable Business Centre and which if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars shall be Sydney or Auckland, respectively) or (2) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET2 System is open.
|
(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, Coupon or Receipt and the original currency is not available on the foreign exchange markets due to the imposition of exchange controls, the original currency’s replacement or disuse or other circumstances beyond 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 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 paragraph will not constitute an Event of Default under Condition 9.
Page 62
(g) Interpretation of Principal and Interest
Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to principal in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable:
|
(i)
|
any additional amounts which may be payable with respect to principal under Condition 7 or pursuant to any undertakings given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor under Condition 14;
|
|
(ii)
|
the Final Redemption Amount of the Notes;
|
|
(iii)
|
the Early Redemption Amount of the Notes;
|
|
(iv)

|
in relation to Notes redeemable in instalments, the Instalment Amounts;
|
|
(vi)
|
in relation to Zero Coupon Notes, the Amortised Face Amount (as defined in Condition 6(f)(iii)); and
|
|
(vii)
|
any premium and any other amounts which may be payable by the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes.
|
Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable, any additional amounts which may be payable with respect to interest under Condition 7 or pursuant to any undertakings given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor under Condition 14, except as provided in sub-paragraph (i) above.
6. Redemption and Purchase
(a) At Maturity
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms and unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as specified below, each Note will be redeemed by the Issuer at its Final Redemption Amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms in the relevant Specified Currency on the Maturity Date specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(b) Redemption for Tax Reasons
The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time at their Early Redemption Amount, together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption under this Condition 6(b), if the Issuer shall determine that as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts, as provided in Condition 7, on the occasion of the next payment due in respect of the Notes.
The Notes are also subject to redemption as a whole, but not in part, in the other circumstances described in Condition 7.
Page 63
Notice of intention to redeem Notes will be given at least once in accordance with Condition 16 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption under this Condition 6(b), provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of such change or amendment and that at the time notice of such redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. From and after any redemption date, if moneys for redemption of Notes shall have been made available for redemption on such redemption date, such Notes shall cease to bear interest, if applicable, and the only right of the holders of such Notes and any Receipts or Coupons appertaining thereto shall be to receive payment of the Early Redemption Amount and, if appropriate, all unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) such redemption date.
(c) Final Terms
The Final Terms applicable to the Notes shall indicate either:
|
(i)
|
that the Notes cannot be redeemed prior to their Maturity Date (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) above and in Condition 9); or
|
|
(ii)
|
that such Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer and/or the holders of the Notes prior to such Maturity Date in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (d) and/or (e) below on the date or dates and at the amount or amounts indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
|
(d) Redemption at the Option of the Issuer (“Issuer Call Option”)
If the Issuer is specified in the applicable Final Terms as having an option to redeem, the Issuer may, having (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) given:
|
(i)
|
not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes in accordance with Condition 16, or such other notice as is specified in the applicable Final Terms; and
|
|
(ii)
|
not less than 5 days before the date of the notice referred to in (i) (or such other notice as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) is to be given, notice to the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent;
|
(which notices shall be irrevocable), redeem all or some only of the Notes then outstanding on the Optional Redemption Date(s) and at the Optional Redemption Amount(s) specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date(s). If the applicable Final Terms specify the Notes are redeemable in part, such redemption must be of a nominal amount not less than the Minimum Redemption Amount or not more than the Maximum Redemption Amount, both as indicated in the applicable Final Terms. In the event of redemption of some only of the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed (“Redeemed Notes”) will be selected individually by lot, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, and in accordance with the rules of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, (to be reflected in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion) in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by a global Note, not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (such date of selection being hereinafter called the “Selection Date”). In the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, a list of such Redeemed Notes will be published or notified in accordance with Condition 16 not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or
Page 64
such other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms. No exchange of the relevant global Note will be permitted during the period from and including the Selection Date to and including the date fixed for redemption pursuant to this paragraph (d) and notice to that effect shall be given by the Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16 at least 10 days prior to the Selection Date. Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, if an Optional Redemption Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(b)(i)), it shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the Business Day Convention applicable to the Notes or such other Business Day Convention specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(e) Redemption at the Option of the Noteholders (“Investor Put Option”)
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Notes will not be subject to repayment at the option of Noteholders. If the Noteholders are specified in the applicable Final Terms as having an option to require the Issuer to redeem the Notes, upon the holder of any Note giving to the Issuer in accordance with Condition 16 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice or such other period of notice as is specified in the applicable Final Terms (which notice shall be irrevocable) the Issuer will, upon the expiry of such notice, redeem, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms specified in the applicable Final Terms, in whole (but not in part), such Note on the Optional Redemption Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date.
If a Note is in definitive form and held outside Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, to exercise the right to require redemption of the Note the holder of the Note must deliver such Note at the specified office of any Paying Agent (other than the Transfer Agent), in the case of Bearer Notes, or the Registrar or the Transfer Agent, in the case of Registered Notes, at any time during normal business hours of such Paying Agent or the Registrar or Transfer Agent falling within the notice period, accompanied by a duly completed and signed notice of exercise in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from any specified office of any Paying Agent or the Registrar or the Transfer Agent (a “Put Notice”) and in which the holder must specify a bank account (or, if payment is required to be made by cheque, an address) to which payment is to be made under this Condition 6(e).
If a Note is represented by a global Note or is in definitive form and held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, to exercise the right to require redemption of the Note the holder of the Note must, within the notice period, give notice to the Agent, in the case of Bearer Notes, or the Registrar, in the case of Registered Notes, of such exercise in accordance with the standard procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (which may include notice being given on the holder’s instruction by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any common depositary, or common safekeeper, as the case may be, for them to the Agent or the Registrar (in the case of Registered Notes) by electronic means) in a form acceptable to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg from time to time and, if the Note is represented by a global Note the terms of which require its presentation for recording changes to its nominal amount, at the same time present or procure the presentation of the relevant global Note to the Agent or Registrar (in the case of Registered Notes) for notation accordingly.
(f) Early Redemption Amounts
For the purpose of paragraph (b) above and Condition 9, the Notes will be redeemed at an amount (the “Early Redemption Amount”) calculated as follows:
Page 65
|
(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, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms or, if no such amount or manner 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 paragraph (b) above 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.
Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, where any such calculation is to be made for a period which is not a whole number of years, it shall be made (I) in the case of a Zero Coupon Note other than a Zero Coupon Note payable in euro, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each (or 365/366 days in the case of Notes denominated in Sterling) and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed or (II) in
Page 66
the case of a Zero Coupon Note payable in euro, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365 (or, if any of the days elapsed falls in a leap year, the sum of (x) the number of those days falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (y) the number of those days falling in a non-leap year divided by 365) or (in either case) on such other calculation basis as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms.
(g) Instalments
If the Notes are repayable in instalments, they will be redeemed in the Instalment Amounts and on the Instalment Dates specified in the applicable Final Terms. In the case of early redemption, the Early Redemption Amount will be determined pursuant to paragraph (f) above.
(h) Partly Paid Notes
If the Notes are Partly Paid Notes, they will be redeemed, whether at maturity, early redemption or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 6 as amended or varied by the applicable Final Terms.
(i) Purchases
The Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may at any time purchase Notes (provided that, in the case of definitive Notes, all unmatured Receipts and 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., unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, such Notes shall be surrendered (in the case of Bearer Notes) to any Paying Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar or 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, Receipts and Coupons may not be resold or reissued.
(j) Cancellation
All Notes which are redeemed will forthwith be cancelled (together with all unmatured Receipts and 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 paragraph (i) above (together, in the case of definitive Notes, with all unmatured Receipts and 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 term “Non-U.S. Holder” means any Holder that is not for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity organised in or under the laws of the United States or its political subdivisions, (iii) a trust subject to the control of a U.S. person and the primary supervision of a U.S. court, or (iv) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents of the full amount of the next scheduled payment of either principal or interest due in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States affecting taxation or otherwise, be subject to any certification, information or other reporting requirements of any kind, the effect of which requirements is the disclosure to the Issuer, any of its Paying Agents or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from status as a Non-U.S. Holder) of a beneficial owner of such Note, Receipt or Coupon who is a Non-U.S. Holder (other than such requirements which (i) would not be applicable to a payment made to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or which can be satisfied by such a custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a Non-U.S. Holder; provided, however, in each case that payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any requirements referred to in this sentence, (ii) are applicable only to payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to or on behalf of such beneficial owner, or (iii) would not be applicable to a payment made by any other paying agent of the Issuer), the Issuer shall redeem the Notes as a whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to the Early Redemption Amount together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, such redemption to take place on such date not later than one year after the publication of notice of such determination. If the Issuer becomes aware of an event that might give rise to such certification, information or other reporting requirements, the Issuer shall, as soon as practicable, solicit advice of independent counsel selected by the Issuer to establish whether such certification, information or other reporting requirements will apply and, if such requirements will apply, the Issuer shall give prompt notice of such determination (a “Tax Notice”) in accordance with Condition 16 stating in such notice the effective date of such certification, information or other reporting requirements and, if applicable, the date by which the redemption shall take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not redeem Notes if the Issuer shall subsequently determine not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirements, in which case the Issuer shall give prompt notice of such determination in accordance with Condition 16 and any earlier redemption notice shall thereby be revoked and of no further effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as the certification, information or other reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect prior to
Page 71
publication of the Tax Notice to have the provisions described in this paragraph apply in lieu of the provisions described in the preceding paragraph, in which case the Tax Notice shall state the effective date of such certification, information or reporting requirements and that the Issuer has elected to pay Additional Amounts rather than redeem the Notes. In such event, the Issuer will pay as Additional Amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made following the effective date of such certification, information or reporting requirements outside the United States by the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents of principal or interest due in respect of a Note, Receipt or Coupon to a holder who certifies to the effect that the beneficial owner of such Note, Receipt or Coupon is a Non-U.S. Holder (provided that such certification shall not have the effect of communicating to the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents or any governmental authority the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge which (i) is imposed as a result of certification, information or other reporting requirements referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, (ii) is imposed as a result of the fact that the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents has actual knowledge that the holder or beneficial owner of such Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a Non-U.S. Holder but is within the category of persons, corporations or other entities described in clause (a)(i) of this Condition 7, or (iii) is imposed as a result of presentation of such Note, Receipt or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note, such Receipt or such Coupon to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay such Additional Amounts, the Issuer will have the right, at its sole option, at any time, to redeem the Notes, as a whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to their Early Redemption Amount, together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption including any Additional Amounts required to be paid under this paragraph. If the Issuer has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph with respect to certification, information or other reporting requirements applicable to interest only and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of the nature referred to in such preceding paragraph with respect to such requirements applicable to principal, the Issuer will redeem the Notes in the manner and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided below), unless the Issuer elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such circumstances the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to interest, if any, accrued to the date of redemption. If the Issuer has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of the nature referred to in such preceding paragraph that the level of withholding applicable to principal or interest has been increased, the Issuer will redeem the Notes in the manner and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided below), unless the Issuer elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such circumstances the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the original level of withholding on principal and interest, if any, accrued to the date of redemption.
8. Prescription
Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, Notes, Receipts and Coupons will become void unless claims in respect of principal and/or interest are made within a period of five years after the Relevant Date (as defined below) therefor.
Page 72
There shall not be included in any Coupon sheet issued on exchange of a Talon any Coupon the claim for payment in respect of which would be void pursuant to this Condition 8 or Condition 5(b) or any Talon which would be void pursuant to Condition 5(b).
Any moneys paid by the Issuer to the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar or the Transfer Agent for the payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes and remaining unclaimed for a period of five years shall forthwith be repaid to the Issuer. All liability of the Issuer, the Agent and the Registrar or the Transfer Agent with respect thereto shall cease when the Notes, Receipts and Coupons become void.
As used herein, the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been duly received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Registrar on or prior to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such moneys having been so received, notice to that effect is duly given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16.
9. Events of Default
(a)
|
In the event that (each of (i) through to (iv) below, an “Event of Default”):

|
|
(iii)
|
the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction of (a) a decree or order granting relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (b) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer to be insolvent, or approving a petition seeking reorganisation, arrangement, adjustment or composition of the Issuer and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (c) a final and non-appealable order appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer, in each case of (a), (b) or (c) otherwise than for the purposes of or pursuant to and followed by a consolidation, amalgamation, merger, reconstruction or reorganisation in which a continuing corporation effectively assumes all obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the terms of which have previously been approved by the written consent of holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount
|
Page 73
of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of such Notes then outstanding present or represented at a meeting of the holders of the Notes affected thereby at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement; or

then the holder of any Note may, at its option, declare the principal of such Note and the interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately by written notice to the Issuer and the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar, and unless all such defaults shall have been remedied by the Issuer (or by the Parent or TFS pursuant to the relevant Credit Support Agreement) prior to receipt of such written notice, the principal of such Note and the interest, if any, accrued thereon shall become and be immediately due and payable.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due with respect to any Note has been obtained by any Noteholder, such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled upon the written consent of holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding present or represented at a meeting of holders of the Notes affected thereby at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement, if:

|
In addition, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office in the United States only in the circumstances described in the final paragraph of Condition 5(d).

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
Page 76
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, Receipts 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 Note Agency Agreement, executed by such successor corporation, the Issuer and the Agent or the Registrar and the 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. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Issuer, and the predecessor corporation, except in the event of a conveyance by way of lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under the Notes and the Agency Agreement or, as the case may be, the Note Agency Agreement.
14. Substitution
The Issuer (the “Retiring Issuer” and the expressions “Issuer” and “Retiring Issuer” include any previous relevant Substitute Issuer (as defined below) under this Condition 14) may, without the consent of the relevant Noteholders or Couponholders, substitute the Parent or any subsidiary of the Parent (including TFS) in place of the Issuer as the principal debtor under the Notes, the relative Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement (the “Substitute Issuer”) provided that:
(a) in the case of the substitution of a subsidiary of the Parent (other than TFS or any other Issuer) in place of the Retiring Issuer, a Credit Support Agreement, in the case of a subsidiary of TFS, between such subsidiary and TFS being entered into, and the TMC Credit Support Agreement applying, mutatis mutandis on the terms of the relevant Credit Support Agreement and the TMC Credit Support Agreement, respectively and, in the case of a subsidiary of the Parent (and not being also a subsidiary of TFS) a Credit Support Agreement between such subsidiary and the Parent being entered into mutatis mutandis on the terms of the TMC Credit Support Agreement;
(b) a deed poll substantially in the form set out in Appendix G to the Agency Agreement (and such other documents (if any)) shall be executed by the Substitute Issuer and the Retiring Issuer as may be necessary to give full effect to the substitution (the “Substitution Documents”) and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) under which (i) the Substitute Issuer shall undertake in favour of the relevant Noteholders and Couponholders to be bound by the terms and conditions of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the provisions of the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the provisions of the Note Agency Agreement as fully as if the Substitute Issuer had been named in the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement as the principal debtor in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement in place of the Retiring Issuer; and (ii) the Retiring Issuer shall be released from its obligations as principal debtor in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement;
(c) without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (b) above, where the Substitute Issuer is subject generally to a taxing jurisdiction differing from or in addition to the taxing
Page 77
jurisdiction to which the Retiring Issuer for which it shall have been substituted under this Condition 14 was subject, the Substitute Issuer shall undertake or covenant in the Substitution Documents in terms corresponding to the provisions of Condition 7 with the substitution for or addition to the references to the taxing jurisdiction to which the Retiring Issuer, as the case may be, was subject of references to the taxing jurisdiction or additional taxing jurisdiction to which such Substitute Issuer, as the case may be, is subject and in such case, Condition 7 shall be deemed to be modified accordingly when such substitution takes effect;
(d) the Substitution Documents shall contain a warranty and representation (i) that the Substitute Issuer and the Retiring Issuer have obtained all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and consents for the substitution and that the Substitute Issuer has obtained all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and consents for the performance by the Substitute Issuer of its obligations under the Substitution Documents and that all such approvals and consents are in full force and effect, (ii) that the obligations assumed by the Substitute Issuer in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement are, in each case, valid and binding in accordance with their respective terms and enforceable by each relevant Noteholder, and (iii) the Substitute Issuer is solvent;
(e) any credit rating obtained by the Retiring Issuer from a nationally recognised statistical rating organisation which applies to the relevant Notes will not be downgraded as a result of the substitution;
(f) each stock exchange on which the relevant Notes are admitted to trading shall have confirmed that, following the proposed substitution of the Substitute Issuer, such Notes will continue to be admitted to trading on such stock exchange;
(g) where the Substitute Issuer is not a company incorporated in the United Kingdom, the Substitute Issuer shall have appointed a process agent as its agent in England to receive service of process on its behalf in relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement;
(h) in the case of substitution of TCCI or a Canadian subsidiary of the Parent in place of the Retiring Issuer, no withholding or other taxes will be payable or required to be withheld by any such Substitute Issuer;
(i) legal opinions shall have been delivered to the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar (from whom copies will be available) (in each case dated not more than three days prior to the intended date of substitution) from legal advisers of good standing selected by the Substitute Issuer (i) in each jurisdiction in which the Substitute Issuer and the Retiring Issuer are incorporated and in England confirming, as appropriate, that upon the substitution taking place, the Substitution Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Substitute Issuer and the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Substitute Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms; and (ii) in Japan and in the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Issuer is incorporated, in the event any Credit Support Agreements are entered into under paragraph (a) above, confirming that any such Credit Support Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Parent, TFS and the Substitute Issuer, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and
(j) in connection with any such substitution, the Substitute Issuer and the Retiring Issuer shall not have regard to the consequences of such substitution for individual Noteholders
Page 78
resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory and no person shall be entitled to claim whether from the Substitute Issuer, the Retiring Issuer, the Agent, (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent, or any other person, any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such substitution upon any person except to the extent already provided in Condition 7 and/or any undertaking given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor in the Substitution Documents in accordance with paragraph (c) above.
Upon execution of the Substitution Documents as referred to in paragraph (b) above, (i) the Substitute Issuer shall be the relevant Issuer named in the relevant Notes, the Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement as principal debtor in place of the Retiring Issuer and the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement shall thereby be deemed to be amended to give effect to the substitution of the Substitute Issuer as principal debtor; and (ii) the Retiring Issuer shall be released as aforesaid from all of its obligations as principal debtor in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons, the Agency Agreement and (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement. With effect on and from the time of the substitution of the Substitute Issuer in place of the Retiring Issuer:
(A) the Retiring Issuer has no further obligations to any Noteholder or Couponholder in relation to the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons;
(B) the Substitute Issuer has rights which the Retiring Issuer had in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons (in each case subject to paragraph (c) above); and
(C) the Substitute Issuer has assumed the obligations towards the Noteholders and Couponholders which the Retiring Issuer had in respect of the relevant Notes, Receipts and Coupons.
The Substitution Documents shall be deposited with and held by the Agent and (in the case of Registered Notes) copied to the Registrar for so long as any of the relevant Notes remain outstanding and for so long as any claim made against the Substitute Issuer or the Retiring Issuer by any Noteholder or Couponholder in relation to the relevant Notes, Receipts, Coupons, the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement or the Substitution Documents shall not have been finally adjudicated, settled or discharged. The Substitute Issuer and the Retiring Issuer shall acknowledge in the Substitution Documents the right of every Noteholder to the production of the Substitution Documents for the enforcement of any of the relevant Notes, Receipts, Coupons, the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement or the Substitution Documents.
Within 14 days of a substitution taking effect under this Condition 14, the Retiring Issuer shall give notice of such substitution to the relevant Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16.
15. Meetings, Modifications and Waivers
The Agency Agreement contains provisions which, unless otherwise provided in the Final Terms, are binding on the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders, for convening meetings of holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons to consider matters affecting their interests, including the modification or waiver of the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Notes.
Page 79
The Agency Agreement, (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes and any Receipts and Coupons attached to the Notes may be amended by the Issuer and (in the case of the Agency Agreement) the Agent and (in the case of the Note Agency Agreement) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent, without the consent of the holder of any Note, Receipt or Coupon (i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or for curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein, or to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer as provided in Condition 13 or provide for substitution of the Issuer as provided in Condition 14, (ii) to make any further modifications of the terms of the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement necessary or desirable to allow for the issuance of any additional Notes (which modifications shall not be materially adverse to holders of outstanding Notes), or (iii) in any manner which the Issuer and (in the case of the Agency Agreement) the Agent and (in the case of the Note Agency Agreement) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons. In addition, with the written consent of holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a majority in aggregate nominal amount of Notes then outstanding present or represented at a meeting of the holders of the Notes affected thereby at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement (provided that such resolution shall be approved by the holders of not less than 25 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes then outstanding affected thereby), the Issuer and the Agent and (in the case of the Note Agency Agreement) the Registrar and the Transfer Agent may from time to time and at any time enter into agreements modifying or amending the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any provisions of the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons; provided, however, that no such agreement shall, without the consent or the affirmative vote of the holder of each Note affected thereby, (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of or any instalment of interest on any Note, (ii) reduce the nominal amount of or interest on any Note, (iii) change the obligation of the Issuer to pay Additional Amounts as provided in Condition 7, (iv) reduce the percentage in nominal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of the holders of which is necessary to modify or amend the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Note Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Notes or to waive any future compliance or past default, or (v) reduce the percentage in nominal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of the holders of which is required at any meeting of holders of Notes at which a resolution is adopted. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate 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) to the Note Agency Agreement or to the terms and conditions of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes, Receipts and Coupons, whether or not they have given such consent or were present at any meeting, and whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or waivers is made upon the Notes, Receipts and Coupons. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders of Notes under this Condition 15 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Page 80
Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment to the Agency Agreement, or (in the case of Registered Notes) to the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, Receipts or Coupons may bear a notation in form approved by the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) Registrar as to any matter provided for in such amendment to the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) to the Note Agency Agreement.
New Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and the Issuer, to any modification contained in any such amendment may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registrar and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding.
For the purposes of this Condition 15, Condition 3 and Condition 9, the term “outstanding” means, in relation to the Notes, all Notes issued under the Agency Agreement or the Note Agency Agreement other than (i) those which have been redeemed in full in accordance with the Agency Agreement or the Note Agency Agreement or these Terms and Conditions, (ii) those in respect of which the date for redemption (whether in respect of the whole principal amount or the final instalment (when redeemable in instalments)) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions has occurred and the redemption moneys therefor (including all interest (if any) accrued thereon to the date for such redemption and any interest (if any) payable under these Terms and Conditions after such date) have been duly paid to the Agent as provided in the Agency Agreement or (in the case of Registered Notes) to the Registrar or the Transfer Agent (and, where appropriate, notice has been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16) and remain available for payment against presentation of the Notes, (iii) those which have become void under Condition 8, (iv) those which have been purchased or otherwise acquired and cancelled as provided in Condition 6, and those which have been purchased or otherwise acquired and are being held by the Issuer for subsequent resale or reissuance as provided in Condition 6 during the time so held, (v) those mutilated or defaced Notes which have been surrendered in exchange for replacement Notes pursuant to Condition 10, (vi) (for the purposes only of determining how many Notes are outstanding and without prejudice to their status for any other purpose) those Notes alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and in respect of which replacement Notes have been issued pursuant to Condition 10, and (vii) temporary global Notes to the extent that they shall have been duly exchanged in whole for permanent global Notes or definitive Notes and permanent global Notes or registered global Notes to the extent that they shall have been duly exchanged in whole for definitive Notes, in each case pursuant to their respective provisions.
16. Notices
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. Receiptholders and Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to the holders of the Notes in accordance with this Condition 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
Page 81
to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg for communication by them to the holders of the Notes; provided that, for so long as any Notes are admitted to trading on a stock exchange or are listed by another relevant authority and the rules of that stock exchange or relevant authority so require, such notice will be published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the place or places required by those rules. 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, to the first-named in the register kept by the Registrar) 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, with the 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, the Registrar via Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner as the Agent or 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, Receiptholders 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, Receipt, Coupon or Talon, redenominate into euro all, but not some only, of the Notes of any Series on or after the date on which the member state of the European Union in whose national currency such Notes are denominated has become a participant member in the third stage of the European economic and monetary union as more fully set out in the applicable Final Terms. The Issuer may (if so specified in the applicable Final Terms) without the consent of the holder of any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon, elect that the Notes shall be exchangeable for Notes expressed to be denominated in euro in accordance with such arrangements as 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.
Page 82
20. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction
The Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.
The Issuer irrevocably agrees, for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders, to the jurisdiction of the English courts for all purposes in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and in relation thereto the Issuer has appointed Toyota Financial Services (UK) PLC as its agent for service of process on its behalf and has agreed that in the event of Toyota Financial Services (UK) PLC ceasing so to act or ceasing to be registered in England, it will appoint another person as its agent for service of process. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Issuer further irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons (including any suit, action or proceedings relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Note Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons) may be brought in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

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 4[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 17 September 2010 (the Agency Agreement, which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time), between 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 S.A./N.V. (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 each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and 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 Part II of Schedule One or in Schedule Two hereto.
On any redemption of, or payment of an instalment or 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 by the aggregate amount of such instalment so paid; 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 Part I or II of Schedule One or 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, payment of an instalment 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 or by the aggregate amount of such instalment so paid.
|
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.

5[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), [but only if the final instalment on all such outstanding Notes has been paid]6 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, Receipts and Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts 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, Receipts 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, Receipts 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, Receipts and Talons in the form set out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, 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
Page 89
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 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.

This Global Note is a Permanent 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 4[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 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 Permanent Global Note.
This Permanent Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and the Agency Agreement dated 17 September 2010 (the Agency Agreement, which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time), between 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 issue of the Temporary Global Note that originally represented this Permanent Global Note.
This Permanent Global Note is to be held by a common depositary (or, if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, a common safekeeper) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (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 Permanent 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 each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date, and/or on such earlier date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Permanent 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 Permanent 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 Permanent 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 Permanent Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note) presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Permanent 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 of 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

Page 96
obligation the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Permanent Global Note as the same shall become due.
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.
If the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be the 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 Part II of Schedule One or in Schedule Two hereto.
On any redemption of, or payment of an instalment or interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:
|
(i)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption, payment or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the nominal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or by the aggregate amount of such instalment so paid; or
|
|
(ii)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent 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 Part I or II of Schedule One or 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, payment of an instalment or purchase and cancellation, the nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note and the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or the aggregate amount of such instalment so paid.
|
Payments due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be made to the bearer of this Permanent 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.
Page 97
If the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note were, on issue, represented by a Temporary Global Note then on any exchange of any such Temporary Global Note for this Permanent Global Note or any part of it, the Issuer shall procure that:
|
(i)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems; or
|
|
(ii)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording any such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such exchange, the nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note and the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be increased by the nominal amount of the Notes so exchanged.

5[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.]
In certain circumstances further notes may be issued which are intended on issue to be consolidated and form a single Series with the Notes. In such circumstances the Issuer shall procure that:
|
(i)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such further notes shall be entered in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems; or
|
|
(ii)
|
if the Final Terms indicate that this Permanent Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, details of such further notes shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two and the relevant space in Schedule Two recording such further notes shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of this Permanent Global Note and the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note shall be increased by the nominal amount of any such further notes so issued.

This Permanent Global Note may (under the circumstances set forth in the Conditions and the Final Terms) be exchanged, in whole, but not in part, for Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, respectively, of the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and Talons and the Final Terms (or the relevant provisions of the Final Terms) have been either endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Bearer Notes) in denominations of [Specified Currency and Specified Denomination] each upon either, as specified in the Final Terms:
|
(a)
|
upon not less than 60 days’ written notice being given to the Agent by the relevant Clearing Systems acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Permanent Global Note; or
|
|
(b)
|
only upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event; or
|
|
(c)
|
at any time at the request of the Issuer.
|
An Exchange Event means:
|
(i)
|
an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9) has occurred and is continuing; or
|
|
(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:
|
(A)
|
the Issuer will promptly give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16 if an Exchange Event occurs; and
|
|
(B)
|
in the event of the occurrence of any Exchange Event, one or more of the relevant Clearing Systems (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Permanent Global Note) may give notice to the Agent requesting exchange and, in the event of the occurrence of an Exchange Event as described in (iii) above, the 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
Page 99
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, Receipts and Talons in the form set out in Appendices X-0, X-0, X-0 and B-6, 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.

(as defined below) as modified and supplemented by Part A of the Final Terms (which are reproduced on the reverse hereof) 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 Definitive Bearer Note.
This Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and the Agency Agreement dated 17 September 2010 (the Agency Agreement, which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time), between 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 issue of the Temporary Global Note that originally represented this Note.
For value received, the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date, and/or on such earlier date(s) as this Note may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount payable under the Conditions in respect of this Note on each such date and to pay interest (if any) on this Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions together with any other sums payable under the Conditions.
5[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.]
Title to this Note and to any Coupon, Talon or Receipt appertaining hereto shall pass by delivery. The Issuer may treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner of this Note for all purposes (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or writing hereon or notice of any previous loss or theft or trust or other interest 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 dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and any other place specified in the applicable Final Terms as an Applicable Business Centre;
|
|
(2)
|
either (i) in relation to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London and any other Applicable Business Centre specified in the applicable Final Terms); or (ii) in relation to Notes denominated in euro, a day on which the TARGET2 system is open. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial centre of any country shall be as provided in the 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.
|
(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
|
Page 132
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 are used for an issue, references to the ICSDs shall be interpreted accordingly.

FORM OF THE NOTES
Each Tranche of Notes in bearer form will be initially issued in the form of a temporary global Note (a “Temporary Global Note”) which will:
|
(i)
|
if the global Notes are issued in new global note (“NGN”) form, as stated in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to one of the international central securities depositaries as common safekeeper (the “Common Safekeeper”) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”); and
|
|
(ii)
|
if the global Notes are not 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,
|
without receipts, interest coupons or talons.
The applicable Final Terms will specify whether the Notes (including Registered Notes issued by TCCI, as described below) are to be held in a manner which will allow Eurosystem eligibility. This means that the Notes are to be deposited with the Common Safekeeper and not necessarily 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. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
If the applicable Final Terms indicates that 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, as the case may be, 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.
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 receipts, interest coupons or talons; or
|
|
(ii)
|
for security-printed definitive Notes,
|
Page 181
(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) 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, if the Temporary Global Note is issued in respect of a Tranche of Notes described as Partly Paid Notes in the applicable Final Terms, only if the final instalment on all outstanding such Notes has been paid.
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” below) 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 (to be eligible as collateral for Eurosystem operations) as stated in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to the Common Safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. If the global Notes are not issued in NGN form, the Permanent Global Note will be delivered to the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
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 in whole, but not in part, for security printed definitive Notes with, where applicable, receipts, interest coupons and talons attached: (i) at the request of the relevant Issuer; (ii) upon the Noteholders instructing Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other agreed clearing system in which such Permanent Global Note is being held to give at least 60 days’ written notice to the Agent, subject to the payment of costs in connection with the printing and distribution of the definitive Notes, if specified in the applicable Final Terms; and/or (iii) (free of charge) upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event (as defined below).
Page 182
For these purposes, “Exchange Event” means that (i) an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9) 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 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 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.
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 capable of complying with the certification requirements set forth in the Temporary Global Note may be used in addition to or in lieu of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and any reference herein to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, except in relation to Notes issued in NGN form, be deemed to include such other additional or alternative clearing system.
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, if so indicated in the applicable Final Terms, in registered form.
For United States federal income tax purposes each Temporary Global Note, each Permanent Global Note and each definitive Note in bearer form which has an original maturity of more than 183 days 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
Page 183
tax laws, including the limitations provided in sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.”
The sections referred to in such legend provide that United States Noteholders, with certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss on Notes, receipts or interest coupons and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment of any gain on any sale, disposition or payment of principal in respect of Notes, receipts or interest coupons.
The following legend is required by the United States information reporting and backup withholding rules and will appear on all Temporary Global Notes, all Permanent Global Notes, all definitive Notes in bearer form, receipts and interest coupons for Notes with maturities at issuance of 183 days or less:
“By accepting this obligation, the holder represents and warrants that it is not a United States person (other than an exempt recipient described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder) and that it is not acting for or on behalf of a United States person (other than an exempt recipient described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder).”
Notes in bearer form will be issued in compliance with U.S. Treas. Reg. §1.163(c)(2)(i)(D) (the “D Rules”) and Notes with maturities at issuance of 183 days or less that 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) and in a face amount or principal amount of not less than U.S.$500,000 (as determined based on the spot rate on the date of issuance if in a foreign currency).
Notes may be issued in registered form (“Registered Notes”) by TCCI, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Each Tranche of Registered Notes issued by TCCI 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 would allow Eurosystem eligibility, deposited on the relevant Issue Date with 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 17 September 2010 (the “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.
Notes issued by any of TMF, TCCI or TFA which form a single Series with Notes issued by TMF, TCCI or TFA, as the case may be, prior to 28 September 2007 shall be constituted by a trust deed last amended and restated on 28 September 2006 and made between (among others) TMF, TCCI, TFA and Union Bank, N.A. as trustee and will be issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an agency agreement last amended and restated on 28 September 2006 and made between (among others) TMF, TCCI, TFA and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and the Agent is successor in business to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.).
Notes issued by TMCC which form a single Series with Notes issued by TMCC prior to 28 September 2007 will be issued subject to, and with the benefit of, an agency agreement last amended and restated on 28 September 2006 and made between (among others) TMCC
Page 184
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and the Agent is successor in business to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.).
If specified in the applicable Final Terms, the relevant Issuer may use market standard definitions in the terms and conditions of any Notes, including those published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.
