Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall

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 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 $9,420,193 (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 $9,420,193 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 Xxxxx'x Investors Service ("Moody's) or A-1+ by Standard &
Poor's, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. ("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,

Owner Trust Revolving Liquidity Note Draw Request. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the Business Day following delivery of any Draw Request, the Holder will fund
the indicated draw by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
following account:

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 3.06% 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)(v) 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(c)(vi) 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)(v) and (vi) or 5.06(d)(iv) and (v) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement against amounts it is otherwise required to deposit
into the Collection Account in its capacity as Servicer in accordance with

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. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the right to receive amounts funded by the Holder
under the Revolving Liquidity Note and all other rights of the Issuer under this
Agreement will be assigned by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders, and that the Indenture
Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and such Noteholders, are intended to be
third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement from and after such assignment and
until the Indenture is terminated in accordance with its terms. In addition, the
Holder expressly acknowledges that, pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture
Trustee will exercise its right to request funds hereunder in every circumstance
when such request may be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the Revolving Liquidity Note, whether express or
implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or the Revolving
Liquidity Note, or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein or
therein.
Article III
Revolving Liquidity Note

Section 3.1. Issuance of Revolving Liquidity Note. On the date hereof,
the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Holder, and the Owner Trustee will

issued hereunder will evidence the repayment obligations of the Issuer set forth
in Section 2.4 hereof and the funding obligations of the Holder thereof set
forth in Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, and will be dated the date of its issuance.
Section 3.2. Terms. Upon issuance, the Undrawn Amount of the Revolving
Liquidity Note shall be $9,420,193. The Undrawn Amount will be reduced by the
amount of each Draw funded by the Holder, and increased by amounts repaid to the
Holder pursuant to Section 2.4 up to a maximum of $9,420,193, excluding interest
paid on the Revolving Liquidity Note. Interest will accrue on the average daily
outstanding excess of $9,420,193 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. Although the Revolving Liquidity Note is secured by the Owner
Trust Estate, all payments in respect of funded Draws and interest accrued
thereon shall be fully subordinated to required payments to the Noteholders and
to required deposits into the Reserve Account as set forth in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.3. Transfer. Prior to the termination of the Indenture, the
Holder may not transfer, assign or convey the Revolving Liquidity Note or this
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 this Agreement; (ii) such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee,

notice of such intended transfer, assignment or conveyance and Moody's 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 the 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 the 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.
Section 3.4. No Set-Off. Without affecting the provisions of this
Agreement requiring the calculation of payment amounts, all payments under this
Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaims against payments to or
from the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or other Basic
Documents or payments owing to the Servicer under the Basic Documents, and the
parties hereto waive any right of set-off or counterclaim that any such party
may have at law or equity.

Exhibit A-2
TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES OWNER TRUST 2003-B
REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE
Representing a
Maximum Amount of Funded Draws
outstanding at any time not to exceed
$9,420,193
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 18, 2003, between Toyota Auto Receivables Owner Trust
2003-B, 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 September 1, 2003, 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 $9,420,193 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 $9,420,193 (interest accrued on the
Revolving Liquidity Note not being considered an amount funded by the Holder for
purposes of
Exhibit A-3
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 $9,420,193 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 3.06% 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 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 S&P to the effect that S&P 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 Xxxxx'x with 10 days prior
written notice of such amendment and Xxxxx'x 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
