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)(i)(B) and (C) or 5.06(d)(ii) or (iii) of the Sale and Servicing 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 $7,500,000 (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
2
Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $7,500,000 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 and hard copy to: Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, (000) 000-0000, Attn: Vice President, Treasury, Re: Toyota Auto Receivables 2001-C Owner Trust Revolving Liquidity Note Draw Request.

Section 2.4. Repayment of Funded Draws. Subject to the following sentences, the Issuer is obligated to repay all funded Draws together with interest accrued on the daily outstanding balance of all funded Draws from the date made until the date all funded Draws are repaid at 5.07% per annum, calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. The parties hereto (and the assignees and third-party beneficiaries hereof, by accepting the assignment of this Agreement as contemplated in Section 2.5 hereof) agree that Draws will be repaid in part or in whole on any each succeeding Payment Date on which amounts are available therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) or 5.06(d)(iv) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and interest accrued on the daily outstanding amount of funded Draws will be payable on and after the Payment Date on which all funded Draws are repaid and on which amounts are available therefore in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(F) or 5.06(d)(v) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Payments to the Holder in respect of funded Draws or accrued interest will be made either by (i) netting by TMCC of amounts that would be repayable on any Payment Date to the extent amounts would be available therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) and (F) or 5.06(d)(iv) and (v) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement against amounts it is otherwise required to deposit into the Collection

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no further payment owing from the Trust.
Section 2.5. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries.

TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES OWNER TRUST 2001-C
REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE
Representing
a
Maximum Amount of Funded Draws
outstanding at any time not to exceed
$7,500,000
This certifies that TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (the "Holder") is the registered owner of this Revolving Liquidity Note representing the right to receive the payment of certain Draws funded as described in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement") dated as of September 20, 2001, between Toyota Auto Receivables Owner Trust 2001-C, as issuer (the "Issuer") and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as initial holder hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2001, among the Issuer, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer, and TAFR LLC, as seller (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement").
This Revolving Liquidity Note represents a 100% undivided interest in the right of the Holder to receive repayment in full of the aggregate amount of funded Draws and interest accrued thereon as and to the extent such amounts are payable in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. All of the provisions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement are incorporated by reference and comprise integral parts of this Revolving Liquidity Note. The following summary of certain provisions thereof is not and does not purport to be complete. By its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Holder") assents to and is bound by the terms, provisions and conditions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, including the provisions thereof (i) setting forth the obligation of the Holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note to fund Draws as and when properly requested pursuant to Article II thereof, (ii) specifying that this Revolving Liquidity Note is secured only by certain assets of the Issuer and is payable only from certain collections in respect thereof that are available for such purpose in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (iii) specifying that all payments in respect of funded Draws and interest accrued thereon shall be fully subordinated to required payments to the holders of certain other securities issued by the Issuer and to required deposits into a specified reserve account established for the benefit of the holders of such other securities in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The "Undrawn Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $7,500,000 less an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw Requests that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, and increased by amounts repaid to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement up to a maximum of $7,500,000 (interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note not being 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). To the extent the entire Undrawn Amount is fully funded pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Undrawn Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws. Interest will accrue on the average daily outstanding excess of $7,500,000 over the Undrawn Amount from and including the date of any Draw to but excluding the date on which the Undrawn Amount is reduced to zero at 5.07% per annum, calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
Subject to the more detailed provisions concerning payments to be made to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note set forth in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, generally, repayment of Draws previously funded by the (or a) Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, and interest accrued thereon as described below, will be made on the 15th
Exhibit A–3
day of each calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, to the extent funds are available therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no further payment owing from the Trust.
Prior to the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended by the Issuer and the Holder, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided, however, that (i) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder, and (ii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such amendment and (y) has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. After the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended in writing by the Issuer and the Holder without notice to or consent of any other Person.
Prior to the termination of the Indenture, the Holder may not transfer, assign or convey this Revolving Liquidity Note or the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement unless: (i) the purported transferee, assignee or recipient of such conveyance has executed a written agreement to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement; (ii) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder; and (iii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such transfer, assignment or conveyance and (y) has provided Xxxxx'x with 10 days prior written notice of such intended transfer, assignment or conveyance and Xxxxx'x shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such transfer, assignment or conveyance might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. The Revolving Liquidity Note may not be transferred, assigned or conveyed in part; any transfer, conveyance or assignment must be in respect of 100% of this Revolving Liquidity Note. The Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) will maintain a register in which it will record the name and contact information for each Holder. No transfer, assignment or conveyance of this Revolving Liquidity Note will be effective prior to notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and recordation by the Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) thereof in such register.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their
