Definitions
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of

"Sale and Servicing Agreement").
Article II
Funding by Holder of Revolving Liquidity Note
Section 2.1. General Funding Obligation. Pursuant to Section 5.06(b)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on each Determination Date, the Servicer
shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the amounts to be distributed in
respect of interest on or principal of the Notes pursuant to Sections
5.06(c)(ii) and (iii) or 5.06(d)(ii) or (iii) of the Sale and Servicing
2
Agreement exceed the amount of Available Collections that will be available to
make such payments and will determine whether amounts on deposit in the Reserve
Account, if any, that are available therefor will be sufficient to fund such
payments on the related Payment Date. If, in accordance with the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Issuer that it has determined that Available Collections and amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Account that will be available to make such payments will
be insufficient therefor, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer
will have the right to request the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (the
"Holder") to fund such shortfall (such request, or any request for funding
described in Section 2.2 hereof, a "Draw"); provided that the Holder will not be
obligated to fund any such shortfall to the extent that the aggregate of the
amounts funded by it hereunder and not previously repaid equals or exceeds
$________ (the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving
Liquidity Note as described herein will not be considered an amount funded by
the Holder for purposes of such calculation). The "Undrawn Amount" of the
Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $________ less an amount equal to
the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw Requests (as
defined in Section 2.3) that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4
(the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity
Note as described herein will not be considered an amount funded by the Holder
for purposes of such calculation, and any amount paid in respect of such accrued
interest will not be considered to increase the Undrawn Amount).
Section 2.2. Additional Funding Obligations. If at any time prior to
the Final Payment Date either (i) the short-term unsecured debt rating of TMCC
falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings
as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P), or (ii) the Holder fails to fund the
amount specified in any Draw Request prepared and submitted to the Holder in
accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Agreement, then the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will have the right to request that the entire
Undrawn Amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note be funded. To the extent the
entire Undrawn Amount is fully funded pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Undrawn
Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws.
Section 2.3. Draw Mechanics. Not fewer than two Business Days prior
to the relevant Payment Date, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.1,
and on any Business Day, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.2, the
Issuer, by action of the Indenture Trustee or of the Administrator on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee (following the assignment of this Agreement to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the Indenture terminates in
accordance with its provisions), may deliver a written request (each such
request, a "Draw Request") for funds in the amount of the shortfall described in
Section 2.1 or the entire Undrawn Amount in the case of a Draw pursuant to
Section 2.2. Any such Draw Request may be delivered by facsimile transmission
