fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Certificateholder, as
otherwise required by the Code.
ARTICLE III
CERTIFICATE
-----------
SECTION 3.01 THE CERTIFICATE. The Certificate shall be executed on behalf
of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer of the Owner
Trustee and authenticated on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or
facsimile signature of a Trust Officer. The Certificate bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be a
valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication
and delivery of the Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of
authentication and delivery of the Certificate. The Certificate may be printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
SECTION 3.02 AUTHENTICATION OF THE CERTIFICATE. Concurrently with the
initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be executed, authenticated and
delivered on behalf of the Trust to or upon the written order of the Depositor,
the Certificate evidencing the Subordinated Seller's Interest. The Certificate
shall not entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for
any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent, by manual or
facsimile signature of a Trust Officer, and such authentication
8
shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The
Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.
SECTION 3.03 TRANSFER RESTRICTION. The Certificate shall not be
transferable by the Certificateholder to any other Person unless such transfer
is a result of or in connection with a consolidation or merger of the
Certificateholder with such Person. Any other purported transfer of the
Certificate or any beneficial interest therein will be deemed to be void and of
no effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 3.04 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATE. If (a) a
mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or if the Owner
Trustee shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of the Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust
shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's authenticating
agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section, the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.
SECTION 3.05 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Owner Trustee shall
maintain in Chicago, Illinois, an office or offices or agency or agencies where
notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate
and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee's office located at 000
X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000 shall be the corporate
trust office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written
notice to the Depositor and to the Certificateholder of any change in the
location of any such office or agency.
SECTION 3.06 APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT. Except during any period when the
Indenture Trustee is authorized and directed to do so under the Indenture (i.e.
prior to the termination of the Indenture), the Paying Agent shall make
distributions to the Certificateholder from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner
Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from
the Collection Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to
above. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if
the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall
have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Owner Trustee and any co-paying
agent chosen by the Owner Trustee and acceptable to the Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written
notice to the Owner Trustee. In the event that the Owner Trustee shall no longer
be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as
Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). By executing this
Agreement, the Owner
9
Trustee hereby agrees in its capacity as Paying Agent to hold all sums, if any,
held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholder until such sums are paid to the Certificateholder. The Owner
Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an
instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall
agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent
or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to
the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder until
such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder. The Paying Agent shall return
all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such
Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee.
The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06, 8.01 and 8.02 shall
apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the
Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any
other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.

ARTICLE V
APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES
------------------------------------------
SECTION 5.01 ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT AND PAYAHEAD ACCOUNT.
(a) The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholder, shall
establish and maintain, or shall cause to be established and maintained, in the
name of the Trust (or in such other name as shall be specified in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement), the Collection Account and the Payahead Account. Each such
account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account, and,
subject to provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture,
bearing a designation clearly indicating that, subject to Section 5.01(b), the
funds deposited therein are held by the Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholder, in each case in accordance with Section 5.01 in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.
Subject to Section 5.01(b), the Owner Trustee shall possess all right,
title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collection
Account and the Payahead Account and in all proceeds thereof (other than any net
investment earnings on Eligible Investments held therein). Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Collection Account and the Payahead Account shall
be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholder. If, at any time, the Collection Account or the
11
Payahead Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Owner Trustee (or
the Administrator on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Collection Account is
not then held by the Owner Trustee or an affiliate thereof) shall within 10
Business Days establish a new equivalent Eligible Deposit Account and shall
transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new account.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, concurrently with, the execution and
delivery of any Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are issued, the Servicer
shall establish and maintain, or shall cause to be established and maintained,
at the direction of the Depositor, accounts of the Trust ("Trust Accounts") in
the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, in each case in accordance with Section 5.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall thereupon promptly
transfer any cash and/or investments then on deposit in the equivalent Trust
Accounts maintained by it pursuant to Section 5.01(a) to the newly established
Trust Accounts on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer
back to the equivalent Trust Accounts established pursuant to Section 5.01(a)
all funds or investments held or to be held in the Trust Accounts established
pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) on the Payment Date on which the Notes of all
Classes have been paid in full or the Indenture is otherwise terminated
(excluding any amounts to be retained for distribution in respect of Notes that
are not promptly delivered for payment on such Payment Date), and to take all
necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all right, title and interest of
the Indenture Trustee in such funds or investments and all proceeds thereof, to
the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder.
SECTION 5.02 APPLICATION OF AMOUNTS IN TRUST ACCOUNTS.
(a) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, on each Payment Date, the
Owner Trustee will take reasonable steps to determine that the Servicer has
properly delivered the Servicer's Certificate identifying how amounts on deposit
in the Trust Accounts are to be allocated and distributed and will instruct the
Indenture Trustee, or cause the Indenture Trustee to be instructed, to
distribute to the Certificateholder the amounts distributable thereto pursuant
to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 of the
Indenture. From and after the date on which the Notes of all Classes have been
paid in full, on each Payment Date the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the
Certificateholder amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are
distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with the instructions of
the Servicer pursuant to Sections 5.06(c) and (d) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Upon the release from the Lien of the Indenture of amounts on deposit
in any of the Trust Accounts or any other portion of the Owner Trust Estate, the
Owner Trustee will cause such property to be properly deposited into Trust
Accounts under the control of the Owner Trustee or distributed to the
Certificateholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as the
case may be.
(b) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to the
Certificateholder the statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to
such Payment Date.
(c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's
distributions (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholder, such tax
shall reduce the amount otherwise
12
distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The
Owner Trustee and Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed to retain from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder sufficient funds for
the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization
shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax or the
withholding requirement with respect to any such tax in appropriate proceedings
if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any
withholding tax imposed with respect to the Certificateholder shall be treated
as cash distributed to the Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the
Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a
possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution
(such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), the Owner Trustee may, in its
sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In
the event that the Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such
withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the
Certificateholder in making such claim so long as the Certificateholder agrees
to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
SECTION 5.03 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions
required to be made to the Certificateholder on any Payment Date shall be made
to the Certificateholder by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to
the account of the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
to the Owner Trustee appropriate written instructions at least five Business
Days prior to such Payment Date.
SECTION 5.04 ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS TO THE NOTEHOLDERS, THE
CERTIFICATEHOLDER, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND OTHERS. The Owner Trustee
shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a
calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to the
Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1) to
enable the Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax
returns, (c) prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file any tax and information
returns, and fulfill any other reporting requirements, relating to the Trust, as
may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (including
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7), including causing such tax and
information returns to be signed in the manner required by law, (d) for any
period during which the beneficial ownership interests in the Trust are held by
more than one person, make such elections as may from time to time be required
or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule or
regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust's characterization as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (e) collect or cause to be
collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section
5.02(c) with respect to income or distributions to the Certificateholder. The
Owner Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income
currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The
Owner Trustee shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the
Code.
SECTION 5.05 SIGNATURE ON RETURNS; TAX MATTERS PARTNER.
(a) The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of
the Trust, unless applicable law requires the Certificateholder to sign such
documents, in which case such
13
documents shall be signed by the Administrator, pursuant to the
power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04.
(b) For any period during which the beneficial ownership interests of the
Trust are held by more than one Person, the Certificateholder holding
Certificates evidencing the largest portion of the Certificates shall be
designated the "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to Section
6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, but hereby
delegates its powers and duties as such to the Administrator pursuant to the
power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04.

with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee (who may, unless there
is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Owner Trustee stating that
there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Administrator),
and the Administrator will not be liable to the Owner Trustee under this Section
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Owner Trustee in
connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of
investigation. Neither the Administrator nor the Servicer need reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Owner Trustee through the Owner Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith.
SECTION 8.03 PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE. Any amounts paid to the Owner

------------------------------
SECTION 9.01 TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT.
(a) This Agreement (other than Article VIII) shall terminate and the Trust
shall dissolve and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest of (i)
the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (or other asset) in the
Owner Trust Estate and the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all moneys
or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(including, but not limited to, any property and proceeds to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Sections 3.02, 4.08, 5.02, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06 or
9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to be released by the Indenture
Trustee from the Lien of the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 of the
Indenture), (ii) the payment or distribution to all Securityholders of all
amounts specified in Sections 3.02, 4.08, 5.02, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06 or 9.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or (iii) the dissolution of the Trust that results
from the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Depositor as
provided in Section 9.02.
(b) Except as provided in Section 9.01(a), the Certificateholder shall not
be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date
upon which the Certificateholder shall surrender the Certificate to the Paying
Agent for payment of the final distributions and cancellation, shall be given by
the Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder mailed within five Business Days of
receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to
Section 10.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date
upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Paying
Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii)
that payment to be made on such Payment Date will be made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent therein
specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Paying Agent
21
(if other than the Owner Trustee) at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholder. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate, the
Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholder amounts
distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.02.
In the event that the Certificateholder shall not surrender the Certificate
for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above
mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the Certificateholder to surrender the Certificate for cancellation and
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice the Certificate shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an
agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the Certificateholder concerning
surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds
remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by
the Owner Trustee to the Depositor.
(d) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its termination, the Owner Trustee
shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3820 of the Statutory Trust Statute.
SECTION 9.02 DISSOLUTION UPON INSOLVENCY OF THE DEPOSITOR. In the event
that an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Depositor, this
Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 9.01 90 days after the
date of such Insolvency Event, unless, before the end of such 90-day period, the
Owner Trustee shall have received written instructions from the Indenture
Trustee (or the Indenture Trustee acting on behalf of the Class A Notes pursuant
to Section 5.04(c) of the Indenture) or the Holders of at least 51% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes acting together as a single Class
(excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Class A
Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their
Affiliates) or if only the Certificate is then outstanding, the
Certificateholder, to the effect that the Receivables should not be liquidated
and the Trust should not be terminated. Promptly after the occurrence of any
Insolvency Event with respect to the Depositor, (A) the Depositor shall give the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice of
such Insolvency Event and (B) upon the receipt of such written notice from the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee, respectively, shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder;
provided, however, that any failure to give a notice required by this sentence
to a party not then entitled to instruct the Owner Trustee that the dissolution
should not occur shall not prevent or delay, in any manner, a termination of the
Trust pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.02. Upon a termination
pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Owner Trustee promptly shall, or if any Notes
are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee (or relevant Indenture Trustee for the
relevant Class or Classes of Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(e) of the Indenture)
shall, promptly sell the assets of the Trust (other than funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, Payahead Account and Reserve Fund) in a commercially
reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms and, if any Notes are
outstanding, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The proceeds of such
a sale of the assets of the Trust shall be treated as collections under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and shall be deposited in the Collection Account and
distributed pursuant to the terms of Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES
------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 10.01 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNER TRUSTEE. The Owner Trustee
shall at all times be an entity having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities. If such entity shall publish reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.01, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.
SECTION 10.02 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF OWNER TRUSTEE. The Owner Trustee
may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly
appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to each of the resigning Owner Trustee and the
successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so
appointed or shall not have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner
Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign promptly, or if at
any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee
by written instrument to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee, the
Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner
Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer
shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the
outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and the successor Owner Trustee and shall pay
or cause to be paid all fees, expenses and other compensation then owed to the
outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to
the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 10.03 SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment under this Agreement, and
23
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties,
and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all
documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the
Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall
meet the criteria for eligibility set forth in Section 10.01.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner
Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Rating Agencies. If the Administrator fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor
Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Administrator.
SECTION 10.04 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any corporation
into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01, without the
execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 10.05 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located,
the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to
the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 25 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.
24
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be appointed and act subject to the following provision and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining
in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed,
the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Owner Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this
Agreement; and
(iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may
at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as if given to each of them. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the powers and duties conferred thereto under this Agreement,
shall be vested with the estates or specified in its instrument of appointment,
either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be
filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.
SECTION 10.06 POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor trustee.

NUMBER R-1
TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES 2002-C OWNER TRUST
SUBORDINATED SELLER'S INTEREST
THIS CERTIFIES THAT TOYOTA AUTO FINANCE RECEIVABLES LLC is the registered
owner of 100% of the nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in
Toyota Auto Receivables 2002-C Owner Trust (the "Trust") formed by TAFR LLC.
The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of September
17, 2002, between TAFR LLC as depositor (the "Depositor") and U.S. Bank Trust
National Association, a national banking association, as Owner Trustee (the
"Owner Trustee"), as amended and supplemented by the Amended and Restated Trust
Agreement dated as of October 1, 2002 (as so amended, the "Trust Agreement"),
between the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2002 (the
"Sale and Servicing Agreement"), among the Trust, the Depositor and TMCC, as
servicer (the "Servicer") or the Indenture dated as of October 1, 2002 (the
"Indenture"), among the Trust, the Depositor and TMCC, as the case may be.
This Certificate is the duly authorized Certificate (the "Certificate")
evidencing the nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in the
Trust issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Certain debt instruments
evidencing obligations of the Trust have been issued under an Indenture dated as
of October 1, 2002, between the Trust and The Bank of New York, as indenture
trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), consisting of four classes of Notes
designated as
A-1
"1.80% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1," "Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class
A-2," "2.65% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3," "Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes,
Class A-4" (collectively, the "Notes") and a Revolving Liquidity Note issued
pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust
Agreement. The holder of this Certificate, by virtue of its acceptance hereof,
assents to and is bound by all of the provisions of the Trust Agreement.
The Trust includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by
new and used automobiles and light duty trucks (the "Receivables"), all monies
due thereunder on or after October 1, 2002, in the case of Precomputed
Receivables or received after such date in the case of Simple Interest
Receivables, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank
accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance
policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing.
It is the intent of the Depositor, TMCC and the Certificateholders that,
for purposes of federal income tax, state and local income tax, any state single
business tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a division
or branch of the Person holding the beneficial interests in the Trust for any
period during which the beneficial interests in the Trust are held by one
person, and will be treated as a partnership, and the Certificateholders will be
treated as partners in that partnership, for any period during which the
beneficial ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one person.
For any such period during which the beneficial ownership interests in the Trust
are held by more than one person, each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a
Certificate or any beneficial interest on a Certificate, agrees to treat, and to
take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Certificates as
partnership interests in the Trust for such tax purposes.

(REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE)
The holder of this Certificate, by accepting an interest in this
Certificate, acknowledges that this Certificate represents a beneficial interest
in the Trust only and does not represent any interest in or obligation of the
Depositor, TMCC (in any capacity), the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against
such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or
contemplated in this Certificate or the Basic Documents. In addition, this
Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and
is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the
Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal
business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other
places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by the Certificateholder upon
written request.
The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholder by the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent
of any of the Noteholders, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions
in the Trust Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in the Trust
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders, the
Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, if (a) the
Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Noteholder, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note, or (b) the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may
be, have received the consent of (i) the Holders of at least 51% of the
Outstanding Amount of the affected Class A Notes acting as a single Class
(excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Class A
Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their
Affiliates) or (ii) if the Class A Notes have been paid in full, the
Certificateholder, if affected, provided, however, that no such amendment made
pursuant to clause (b) above shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the
amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on
Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit
of the Noteholders, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes or the Certificate required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all the affected Notes and the
Certificate.
The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee without the consent of any of the
Noteholders, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note
for purposes of changing the formula for determining the Specified Reserve
Account Balance, the manner in which the Reserve Account is funded (e.g. to
allow the deposit of cash therein by the Depositor), changing the remittance
schedule for the deposit of collections in the Collection Account or Payahead
Account or changing the definition of Eligible Investments, if (a) the Owner
Trustee and Indenture Trustee (i) have received from each Rating Agency that has
rated any outstanding Class of Notes (excluding Xxxxx'x) of its written
confirmation that such amendment will not
A-6
result in the qualification, withdrawal or modification of the rating then
assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of Notes and (ii) have provided
Xxxxx'x with 10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Xxxxx'x shall
not have notified the Owner Trustee and 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, without the consent
of any of the Noteholders, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note, or (b) the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may
be, have received the consent of (i) the Holders of at least 51% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes acting as a single Class (excluding for
such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Class A Notes held of
record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) or
(ii) after the Class A Notes have been paid in full, the Certificateholder;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for
the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholder or the Holder of the
Revolving Liquidity Note or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all the affected Notes and the
Certificate.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholder
of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the Owner Trust Estate. TMCC, as servicer of the Receivables under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, or any successor servicer, may at its option purchase the
Owner Trust Estate at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and
any such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect
early retirement of the Certificate; however, such right of purchase is
exercisable only after the last day of the Collection Period as of which the
Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance.
