TRANSFER OF 20[__]-[__] SUBI CERTIFICATE
Section 2.01. Transfer of 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate. In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of $[__________] aggregate principal amount of Notes and the Trust Certificates (the “Transfer Price”), the Transferor does hereby absolutely sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth above, all of the following (collectively, the “Assets”):
(i) all right, title and interest in and to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;
(ii) the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI represented by the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate;
(iii) all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Holder of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;
(iv) all of the Transferor’s rights to and benefits in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement; and

Section 3.04. Headings. The headings herein are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.
Section 3.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 3.06. Further Assurances. The Transferor and the Transferee agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the other party hereto or by the Indenture Trustee more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements or releases relating to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate for filing under the provisions of the UCC or other law of any applicable jurisdiction.
Section 3.07. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, each of which shall be considered to be a third-party beneficiary hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
Section 3.08. No Petition. Each of the parties hereto covenants and agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations and payments under the Securitized Financing have been paid in full, they will not (and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not have the power
9
to) institute against, or join any Person in instituting against the Titling Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate that holds a beneficial interest in the Titling Trust or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the Titling Trust that holds a beneficial interest in the Titling Trust or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the Titling Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
Section 3.09. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement are non-recourse obligations of the Transferor, and shall be payable by the Transferor, solely from the proceeds of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate and the Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent of any interest of the Transferor therein. No amount owing by the Transferor hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferee is deemed to have any interest in any Trust Assets or Other SUBI Assets that may be acquired by the Transferor from time to time, the Transferee agrees to fully subordinate all claims it may be deemed to have against the Trust Assets allocated to the UTI Portfolio and each other SUBI Portfolio. The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or claim against, the Transferor arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of the Transferor or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them.
Section 3.10. Acknowledgement and Agreement. By execution below, the Transferor expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate and the 20[__]-[__] SUBI and the assignment of all rights and obligations of the Transferor related thereto by the Transferee to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, the Transferor hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Transferee under this Agreement.
Section 3.11. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been signed by [__________] not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall [__________] in its individual capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the priorities set forth herein. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the
10
performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, Toyota Leasing, Inc., as transferor (the “Transferor”), hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Toyota Auto Lease Trust 20[__]-[__], as transferee (the “Transferee”), as follows on the Closing Date:
General
1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.
2. The 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
Creation
3. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
4. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder to the Transferee required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.
5. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate hereunder.
Perfection
6. The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the
I-1
proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate granted to the Transferee hereunder; and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”
7. To the extent that the 20[__]-[__] SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee.
Priority
