ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
Section 3.01 Duties Of Servicer. The Servicer, as agent for the Trust, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on and in respect of the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable automobile and light duty truck receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer's duties shall include collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, state or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment information to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, policing the collateral, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee with respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information, making Advances and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Trust, a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Receivable pursuant to Section 3.04 or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Trustee shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable to the Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses,
26
affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense and written direction, take reasonable steps to enforce such Receivable, including bring suit in its name or the name of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Collection Of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such customary collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable automobile or light duty truck receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall be authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with the customary servicing standards of the Servicer without the prior consent of the Trustee; provided, however, that if, as a result of any change in the related APR, increase in the total number of Scheduled Payments, extension of payments such that the Receivable will be outstanding later than the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, or other modification of the terms of a Receivable, the amount of any Scheduled Payment due in a subsequent Collection Period is reduced, the Servicer shall be obligated to either repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08 or to make an Advance in respect of such Receivable in each subsequent Collection period equal to the amount by which such Scheduled Payment has been reduced. In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to release the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new automobile or light duty truck receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08, and the receivable created shall not be included in the Trust. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables.
Section 3.03 Rebates on Full Prepayments. In the event that the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Precomputed Receivable, after adjustment for the applicable Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the billing month under such Precomputed Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Precomputed Receivable is greater than the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer's customary servicing procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit such difference to the Trust by deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section 3.04 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle (and shall specify such Receivables to the Trustee no later than the Determination Date following the end of the Collection Period in which the Servicer shall have made such determination). The Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of automobile and light duty truck receivables, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover its reasonable Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Defaulted Receivable. All Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such action with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.02. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that, in any case in which the Financed
27
Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.
Section 3.05 Maintenance of Physical Damage Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the origination of the related Receivable.
Section 3.06 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to again perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Trust in such Financed Vehicle and agrees that the Servicer's listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in this capacity as agent of the Trust.
Section 3.07 Covenants Of Servicer. The Servicer shall make the following covenants on which the Trustee shall rely in accepting the Receivables in trust and authenticating the Certificates.
(a) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable.
(b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Certificateholders in the Receivables.

As of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach), the Servicer shall, unless such breach or impropriety shall have been cured in all material respects, purchase from the Trust such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date the Servicer shall remit the Administrative Purchase Payment to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.05, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative Amount. Upon such deposit of the Administrative Purchase Payment, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of such Receivable. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust or the Certificateholders against the Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.07 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02. The Trustee shall have no duty
28
to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02.

ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 4.01 Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall establish the Collection Account and Payahead Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each such account shall be an account initially established with the Trustee and maintained with the Trustee so long as (i) the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee are rated "P-1" or better by Moody's, or if not rated by Moody's then otherwise approved by Moody's, and "A-1+" or better by Standard & Poor's if rated by Standard & Poor's, or if not rated by Standard & Poor's then otherwise approved by Standard & Poor's, in each case at the time of any deposit therein, or (ii) such account is a segregated trust account located in the corporate trust department of the Trustee bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein (other than interest or investment earnings thereon) are held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and the Trustee has a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency) of at least "A1" (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Trustee no longer meets either of the foregoing requirements, then the Servicer shall, with the Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Collection Account and Payahead Account to be moved to a bank or trust company that satisfies either of such requirements.
(b) For so long as the depository institution or trust company then maintaining the Collection Account and Payahead Account meets the requirements of Section 4.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii), all amounts held in these accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments; otherwise such amounts shall be maintained in cash. Earnings on investment of funds in these accounts (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer on each Distribution Date as servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related account.
(c) For so long as o is the Trustee, the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be maintained with as described in clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.01(a). In the event that the long-term debt rating of the Trustee does not satisfy clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.01(a), the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Trustee as necessary, cause the Collection Account and Payahead Account to be moved to an institution or an account otherwise satisfying the requirements of Section 4.01(a).
(d) Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain as the Collection Account an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the exclusive control of the Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On the Closing Date, the Trustee will transfer, or cause to be transferred, to such Collection Account all funds or investments on deposit in the Collection Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and all of the proceeds thereof, and will transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Certificateholders, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 4.02 Collections.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables (other than, in the case of Precomputed Receivables, payments constituting Payments Ahead) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds within two Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (i) TMCC is the Servicer, (ii) either (a) TMCC's short-term unsecured debt is rated P-1 by Moody's and A-1 by Standard & Poor's (so long as Moody's and Standard & Poor's are Rating Agencies), or (b) certain arrangements are made that have been approved in writing by each Rating Agency and (iii) an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing (collectively, the "Monthly Remittance Conditions"), the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing daily basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without segregation from its other funds, until the Business Day before each Distribution Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance Conditions is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all future collections on or in respect of the Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after receipt thereof.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit all Payments Ahead in the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof, which Payments Ahead shall be transferred to the Payahead Account pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, the Servicer will not be required to deposit Payments Ahead in the Collection Account or the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof but shall be entitled to retain such Payments Ahead, without segregation from its other funds, until such time as the Servicer shall be required to remit Applied Payments Ahead to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(i). Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are not satisfied, all Payments Ahead then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Payahead Account and all future Payments Ahead shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof.
(c) The Servicer shall give the Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice of the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition (and any subsequent curing of a failed Monthly Remittance Condition) as soon as practical after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition, the Servicer may utilize an alternative collection or Payment Ahead remittance schedule (which may be the remittance schedule previously utilized prior to the failure of such Monthly Remittance Condition), if the Servicer provides to the Trustee written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such alternative remittance schedule will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any Class of Rated Certificates.
Section 4.03 Application Of Collections. As of the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, all collections for the related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:
(a) With respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor which are not Supplemental Servicing
32
Fees shall be applied first to reimburse the Servicer for Outstanding Advances made with respect to such Receivable (each such payment, an "Overdue Payment"). Next, the amount of any payment in excess of Supplemental Servicing Fees and Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment with respect to such Receivable. If the amount of such payment remaining after the applications described in the two preceding sentences (i) equals (together with any Deferred Prepayment) the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable, it shall be applied to prepay the principal balance of such Receivable, or (ii) is less than the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable, it shall constitute a Payment Ahead with respect to such Receivable.
(b) With respect to each Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same manner, except that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable. A Warranty Purchase Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment shall be applied to reduce Outstanding Advances and such Warranty Purchase Payment or Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments by the Obligor shall be insufficient, and then to prepay the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable in full.
Section 4.04 Advances.
(a) As of last day of a Collection Period, if the payments during such Collection Period by or on behalf of the Obligor on or in respect of a Precomputed Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under Section 4.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect to such Precomputed Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall, and such Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to such shortfall (each, a "Precomputed Advance") in the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. In addition, as of last day of a Collection Period, if the payments during such Collection Period by or on behalf of the Obligor on or in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under Section 4.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then an amount equal to the product of the Principal Balance of such Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its Annual Percentage Rate minus the amount of interest actually received on such Receivable during the Collection Period (each, a "Simple Interest Advance") shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. If such a calculation in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable results in a negative number, an amount equal to such negative amount shall be paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of any Outstanding Advances in respect of Simple Interest Receivables. In addition, in the event that a Simple Interest Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but not including interest for the current Collection Period) shall, up to the amount of Outstanding Advances in respect of Simple Interest Receivables in respect thereof, be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of such Outstanding Advances. No Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of Simple Interest Receivables. The Servicer shall not be required to make an Advance (other than a Simple Interest Advance in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Simple Interest Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Advance is unlikely to be recovered from subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the
33
related Obligor, Liquidation Proceeds, by the Administrative Purchase Payment or by the Warranty Purchase Payment with respect to such Receivable or otherwise.
(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable: (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Liquidation Proceeds, (iii) the Administrative Purchase Payment, and (iv) the Warranty Purchase Payment; provided, however, that in the case of Advances made pursuant to Section 3.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement only from amounts received in respect of such Receivable that are in excess of the amount of the Scheduled Payment in the related Collection Period.
(c) To the extent that during any Collection Period any funds described above in Section 4.04(b) with respect to a Receivable as to which the Servicer previously has made an unreimbursed Advance are received by the Trustee or the Servicer, and the Servicer determines that any Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable are unlikely to be recovered from payments made on or with respect to such Receivable (each, a "Nonrecoverable Advance"), then, on the related Distribution Date, upon the Servicer providing the Seller and the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for its determination of any such amount, the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer (i) from Available Interest an amount equal to the portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance allocable to interest and (ii) from Available Principal an amount equal to the portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance allocable to principal, in each case without interest, in accordance with Section 4.06(c)(i). In lieu of causing the Trustee to remit any such amounts or the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) in Section 4.04(b), the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account.
Section 4.05 Additional Deposits.
(a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the Collection Account: (i) the Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 2.05 or the amount required upon the optional termination of the Trust by the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, pursuant to Section 10.02; (ii) the Servicer shall remit (A) the amount required to be remitted in respect of certain full Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.03, (B) the aggregate Advances pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.08 and 4.04(a), and (C) the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 3.08; and (iii) the Trustee shall transfer any Yield Maintenance Deposit from the Yield Maintenance Account to the Collection Account pursuant to Sections 4.06 (in assuring the availability therein of the related Available Interest) and 4.08(b) and shall transfer the amounts described in Sections 4.06 and 4.07(b) from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.07(b).
(b) All deposits required to be made pursuant to this Section by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. At the direction of the Servicer, the Trustee shall invest such amounts in Eligible Investments maturing not later than [3:00 P.M.] New York City Time, on the related Distribution Date.
Section 4.06 Distributions.
(a) On each Distribution Date (or, if both the Accounts are not maintained by the Trustee, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date), the Trustee shall cause to be
34
made the following transfers and distributions in immediately available funds in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution Date:
(i) from the Payahead Account (or directly from the Servicer in the case of Payments Ahead held by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b) or (c)) to the Collection Account, the aggregate Applied Payments Ahead; and
(ii) if the Servicer is not permitted to hold Payments Ahead pursuant to Section 4.02(b) or (c), from the Collection Account to the Payahead Account, the aggregate Payments Ahead for the related Collection Period.
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Available Interest, the Available Principal, the Class A Distributable Amount, the Class B Distributable Amount, the amount to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class and all other distributions to be made on the related Distribution Date.
(c) The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class B Certificates shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A Certificates to the extent provided in this Section. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following distributions from the Collection Account in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution Date; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.05(a) or 4.06(a), such distributions shall be made only from those funds deposited in the Collection Account for the related Collection Period:
(i) to the Servicer from Available Interest or Available Principal, any payments in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances required pursuant to Section 4.04(c);
(ii) to the Servicer, from Available Interest (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Interest described in clause (i) above), the Total Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Total Servicing Fees from one or more prior Collection Periods);
(iii) to the Class A Certificateholders of record, from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date and, if such Available Interest is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from the Class B Percentage of Available Principal and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund;
(iv) to the Class B Certificateholders of record, from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date and, if such Available Interest is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will receive such shortfall from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund;
(v) to the Class A Certificateholders of record, from Available Principal (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Principal described in clauses (i) and (iii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date and, if such Available Principal is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; and
35
(vi) to the Class B Certificateholders of record, from Available Principal (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Principal described in clauses (i), (iii) and (v) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Principal Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date and, if such Available Principal is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (v) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit any Excess Amounts into the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance and shall distribute the remainder, if any, to the Seller.
(e) Subject to Section 10.01 respecting the final payment upon retirement of each Certificate, the Servicer shall on each Distribution Date instruct the Trustee to distribute to each Certificateholder of any Class of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register (or, if DTC, its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant Certificateholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to other arrangements), the amount to be distributed to such Certificateholder pursuant to such Holder's Certificates.
Section 4.07 Reserve Fund.
(a) (i) In order to effectuate the subordination provided for herein and to assure that sufficient amounts to make required distributions to Certificateholders will be available, the Seller shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a trust account: the "Reserve Fund" which will include the money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 4.06(d) and this Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Reserve Fund shall (A) be a segregated trust account initially established with the Trustee and maintained with the Trustee so long as the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee have the Required Rating and (B) in the event that the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee no longer have the Required Rating, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Trustee as necessary, cause the Reserve Fund to be moved to (1) a segregated deposit account in a bank or trust company, the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Rating, or (2) a segregated trust account bearing a designation clearly indicating the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company (which may include the Trustee) having a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency) of at least (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit into the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund shall not be part of the Trust but instead will be held for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit (and any investment earnings thereon) are owned directly by it, and the Seller hereby agrees to treat the same as its assets (and earnings) for federal income tax and all other purposes. On each Distribution Date, Excess Amounts will be deposited into the Reserve Fund by the Trustee to the extent set forth in Section 4.06(d).
(ii) In order to give effect to the subordination provided for herein and to assure availability of the amounts maintained in the Reserve Fund, the Seller hereby sells, conveys and transfers to the Trustee, as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, the Reserve
36
Fund Initial Deposit and all proceeds thereof and hereby pledges to the Trustee as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, all other amounts deposited in or credited to the Reserve Fund from time to time under this Agreement, all earnings and distributions thereon and proceeds thereof (other than proceeds constituting interest or net investment earnings attributable to the investment of the Reserve Fund at the direction of the Servicer) subject, however, to the limitations set forth below, and solely for the purpose of securing and providing for payment of the Class A and Class B Distributable Amounts, together with any Class A and Class B Interest Carryover Shortfalls and Class A and Class B Principal Carryover Shortfalls, in accordance with Section 4.06 and this Section to have and to hold all the aforesaid property, rights and privileges unto the Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the uses and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this Section. The Trustee hereby acknowledges such transfer and accepts the trust hereunder and shall hold and distribute the Reserve Fund in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section.
(b) Consistent with the limited purposes for which such trust are granted, on each Distribution Date the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be available for, and applied to make, distributions as provided in Section 4.06. In addition, on each Distribution Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund (after giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, the Trustee will distribute any remaining amounts to the Seller. Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amount.
(c) (i) Amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in the manner specified in Section 4.01(b). Such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, its Financial Intermediary or its nominee, in either case as collateral agent, and all income and gain realized thereon shall be solely for the benefit of the Seller and shall be payable by the Trustee to the Seller on each Distribution Date. Realized losses, if any, on investment of the Reserve Fund shall be charged first against undistributed investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund and then against the Reserve Fund.
(ii) With respect to the Reserve Fund, the Seller and the Trustee agree that:
(A) any Reserve Fund property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the name of the Trustee, as collateral agent, at the Trustee (in a segregated trust account if the deposits of the Trustee do not have the Required Rating) or at one or more depository institutions which are eligible to maintain the Reserve Fund as described in Section 4.07(a)(i); such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;
(B) any Reserve Fund property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Trustee, as collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of the term "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Trustee, as collateral agent or a financial intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-313(4) of the UCC) acting solely for the Trustee, as collateral agent;
(C) any Reserve Fund property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of the term "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trustee, as collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition, through
37
continued book-entry registration of such Reserve Fund as described in such paragraph; and
(D) any Reserve Fund property that is an "uncertificated security" under Article Eight of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Trustee, as collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (iii) of the definition of the term "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trustee, as collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Trustee's or its Financial Intermediary's (or its custodian's or its nominee's) ownership of such security, in its capacity as collateral agent.
Effective upon Delivery of the Reserve Fund property in the form of Physical Property, book-entry securities or uncertificated securities, the Trustee shall be deemed to have purchased such Reserve Fund property for value, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim thereto.
(iii) Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any UCC financing statements or this Agreement) as may be determined to be necessary, in an Opinion of Counsel to the Seller delivered to the Trustee, in order to perfect the interests created by this Section and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Seller and/or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall:
(A) promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Trustee's security interest; and
(B) make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in their respective corporate names or any trade names, (2) any change in the location of their respective chief executive offices or principal places of business and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in their respective identities or corporate structures; and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such filings.
(iv) The Trustee shall not enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Fund.
(d) Upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 10.01, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, after payment of all amounts due to the Certificateholders, shall be paid to the Seller.
Section 4.08 Yield Maintenance Account. (a) (i) In order to assure that sufficient amounts to make required distributions of interest to Certificateholders will be available, the Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a trust account: the "Yield Maintenance Account" which will include the money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to this Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Yield Maintenance Account shall (A) be a segregated trust account initially established with the Trustee and maintained with the Trustee so long as the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee have the Required Rating and (B) in the event that the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee no longer have the Required Rating, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Trustee as necessary, cause the Yield Maintenance Account to be moved to (1) a segregated deposit account in a bank or trust company, the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Rating, or (2) a segregated trust account bearing a designation clearly indicating the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders
38
and the Class B Certificateholders located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company (which may include the Trustee) having a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency) of at least (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller [or third party] shall deposit an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Account Initial Deposit into the Yield Maintenance Account. In addition, on each subsequent Distribution Date, the Seller [or third party] shall, pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement [and the Collateral Security Agreement] deposit an amount equal to the Additional Yield Maintenance Amount into the Yield Maintenance Account. The Yield Maintenance Account shall not be part of the Trust but instead will be held for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates. The [Seller hereby acknowledges][third party, pursuant to the Collateral Security Agreement and the Yield Maintenance Agreement], has acknowledged] that the Yield Maintenance Account Initial Deposit, all Additional Yield Maintenance Amounts and any investment earnings thereon are owned directly by it, and the [Seller hereby agrees][third party has thereunder agreed] to treat the same as its assets (and earnings) for federal income tax and all other purposes.
(ii) In order to assure availability of the amounts maintained in the Yield Maintenance Account, the [third party has, pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Collateral Security Agreement, sold, conveyed and transferred] [Seller hereby sells, conveys and transfers] to the Trustee, as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, the Yield Maintenance Account Initial Deposit and all proceeds thereof and [pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Collateral Security Agreement has pledged][hereby pledges] to the Trustee as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, all other amounts deposited in or credited to the Yield Maintenance Account from time to time under the Yield Maintenance Agreement, all earnings and distributions thereon and proceeds thereof (other than proceeds constituting interest or net investment earnings attributable to investment of the Yield Maintenance Account at the direction of the Servicer) subject, however, to the limitations set forth below, and solely for the purpose of securing and providing for payment of each Yield Maintenance Deposit, if applicable, comprising a portion of Available Interest to be distributed in accordance with Section 4.06 and this Section on any Distribution Date, to have and to hold all the aforesaid property, rights and privileges unto the Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the uses and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this Section. The Trustee hereby acknowledges such transfer and accepts the trust hereunder and shall hold and distribute the Yield Maintenance Account in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section.
(b) Consistent with the limited purposes for which such trusts are granted, on each Distribution Date the amount of the related Yield Maintenance Deposit, if any, to the extent amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account are sufficient therefor, shall be available for distribution as provided in Section 4.06 (in determining and distributing Available Interest) and, on each Distribution Date, if the amount on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account (after giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is greater than the Required Yield Maintenance Amount, the Trustee will distribute any remaining amounts to the Seller [or third party]. Upon any such distribution to the Seller [or third party], the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amount.
(c) (i) Amounts held in the Yield Maintenance Account shall be invested in the manner specified in Section 4.01(b). Such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, its Financial Intermediary or its nominee, in either case as collateral agent, and all income and gain realized thereon shall be
39

Realized losses, if any, on investment of the Yield Maintenance Account shall be charged first against undistributed investment earnings attributable to the Yield Maintenance Account and then against the Yield Maintenance Account.
(ii) With respect to the Yield Maintenance Account, [the Seller and the Trustee agree] [, in the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Collateral Security Agreement, the Seller, the third party and the Trustee have agreed] that:
(A) any Yield Maintenance Account property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the name of the Trustee, as collateral agent, at the Trustee (in a segregated trust account if the deposits of the Trustee do not have the Required Rating) or at one or more depository institutions which are eligible to maintain the Yield Maintenance Account as described in Section 4.07(a)(i); such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided in this Agreement. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided in this Agreement In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Trustee notifies the Servicer that it is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the [Borough of Manhattan], The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.
(c) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(e) All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.
(f) Registration of transfer and sale of the Class B Certificates shall be subject to the further conditions specified in Section 5.04.
(g) Each purchaser of a Class A Certificate that is Plan (as defined in Section 5.04(a)(i)) that is a purchaser of a Class A Certificate or of a beneficial interest therein shall be deemed to have represented and warranted, by accepting such Certificate or beneficial interest, that such purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
Section 5.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Class B Certificates.
(a) No transfer of a Class B Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Definitive Certificate, such requirement will be satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit E) to the effect that:
(i) such transferee (A) is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), nor a person acting on behalf of a Plan nor using the assets of a Plan to effect such transfer, and (B) is not an insurance company purchasing a Class B Certificate with funds contained in an "insurance
43
company general account" or "insurance company separate account" (as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) as to which there is a Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and liabilities for the contracts held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTCE 95-60) of by the same employee organization exceed 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTCE 95-60) at the date of acquisition; or
(ii) is a Plan or a person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan to effect such transfer, or is an insurance company purchasing a Class B Certificate with funds contained in an insurance company general account or insurance company separate account, having attached thereto an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class B Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to a Class B Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, in the event the Transferee Certificate is not furnished, the representations contained in clause (i) above shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquiror's) acceptance of such Certificate. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class B Certificate or beneficial interest therein to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code or to an insurance company purchasing with funds from a general account or insurance company separate account not exempt pursuant to PTCE 95-60 without the delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described in clause (ii) above shall be void and of no effect.
(b) To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 23.01(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the 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 has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trustee 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 fractional undivided interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Certificate or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a bona fide purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Seller and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Certificate (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Certificate from such Person to whom such
44
replacement Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Seller or the Trustee in connection therewith.
Section 5.06 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.06 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Servicer and the Trustee that neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders under this Agreement, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The certificate or certificates delivered to DTC evidencing such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Class A or Class B Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.12.

(v) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the Voting Interests of either Class or both Classes the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in such Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.
Section 5.11 Notices to Clearing Agency.

Section 5.12 Definitive Certificates.

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer (or so long as the Servicer is TMCC, the Seller) duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer (or so long as the Servicer is TMCC, the Seller) set forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (B) to the Trustee and the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificate and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class; or
(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is TMCC, the Seller) in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

53
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
Section 8.02 Consequences Of An Event Of Default. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, so long as such Event of Default has not been cured or waived, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class (but excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any of their affiliates), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Certificateholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.03; and, without limitation, the Trustee shall be hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer, in the Accounts or the Reserve Fund or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and all Payments Ahead that shall at that time be held by the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the original Servicer hereunder shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
Section 8.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or tenders its resignation pursuant to Section 7.05, the Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, assume the rights and responsibilities of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination or resignation had been given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of automobile and/or light duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, provided that the appointment of any such successor to the Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any Class of Rated Certificates by either Rating Agency. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on or in respect of the Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the original Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Trustee shall not be
54
relieved of its duties as Successor Servicer under this Section until the newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 8.04 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining actual knowledge of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period applicable thereto or (ii) any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing.
If required by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for so long as the Class A Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notices to holders of the Class A Certificates will be given by publication in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg or, if publication in Luxembourg is not practical, in Europe. Such publication is expected to be made in the LUXEMBOURGER WORT. If required by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, for so long as the Class A Certificates are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, notices to holders of the Class A Certificates will be given in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in the English language in Hong Kong. Such publication is expected to be made in the SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication.
Section 8.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class (but excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any of their affiliates), may, waive any Event of Default or default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Certificate or Payahead Accounts or the Reserve Fund in accordance with this Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Agreement that under Section 11.01 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 8.06 Repayment of Advances. If a Successor Servicer replaces the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.04, in the manner specified in Section 4.06, with respect to all Advances made by the predecessor Servicer.
55
Section 9.01 Duties Of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, both prior to and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that if the Trustee assumes the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03, the Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of skill and attention customarily exercised by a servicer with respect to automobile and/or light duty truck receivables that it services for itself or others.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the related Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
(d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
56
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created or existing under any Receivable or to impair the value of any Receivable.
(f) All information obtained by the Trustee regarding the Obligors and the Receivables, whether upon the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise, shall be maintained by the Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person, unless such disclosure is required by this Agreement or any applicable law or regulation.
Section 9.02 Trustee's Certificate. On or as soon as practicable after each date on which the Servicer shall purchase Administrative Receivables or the Seller shall repurchase Warranty Receivables, the Trustee shall submit to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, a Trustee's Certificate (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), identifying the purchaser and the Receivables so purchased, executed by the Trustee and completed as to its date and the date of this Agreement, and accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period. The Trustee's Certificate submitted with respect to such Distribution Date shall operate, as of such Distribution Date, as an assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Administrative Receivable or Warranty Receivable and to the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Administrative Receivable or Warranty Receivable, and all security and documents relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security.
Section 9.03 Trustee's Assignment of Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables. With respect to all Administrative Receivables and all Warranty Receivables, the Trustee shall, by a Trustee's Certificate (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer as applicable, all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to each such repurchased Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable, and all security and any documents relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security; and the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such Receivable, and all such related security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a repurchased Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's written direction and expense, take such reasonable steps as the Trustee deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the Trust's name or the names of the Certificateholders.
Section 9.04 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel;
57
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (that shall not have been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of a Class; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Seller or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Seller upon demand; and nothing in this clause shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and
(vi) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under this Agreement or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and shall not be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of its agents or attorneys or a custodian appointed with due care by the Trustee.
(b) No Certificateholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and (i) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit collections or payments when due or (ii) the Holders Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of a Class have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as Trustee thereunder, and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings.
Section 9.05 Limitation on Trustee's Liability. The Trustee shall make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the execution by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of, or the certificate of authentication on, the Certificates), or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Seller or the Servicer unless explicitly set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any security interest in any Financed Vehicle or any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of such a security interest or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under

Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement or based on the Trustee's negligence or willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this Agreement, the Certificates or any Receivable or assignment thereof against the institution serving as Trustee in its individual capacity. The Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Receivables. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer) or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) each of this Agreement and the Certificates is executed and delivered by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee of the Trust in the exercise of its powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations (other than the representations and warranties of the Trustee set forth in Section 9.14), undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Trust is made and intended not as a representation, undertaking or agreement by the Trustee in its individual capacity, but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust and (iii) under no circumstances shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this Agreement or the Certificates.
The Trustee will not be responsible for any losses incurred in connection with investments in Eligible Investments made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other than losses arising out of the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Section 9.06 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 9.07 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts created by this Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee under this Agreement, and the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,

disbursements and advances (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) incurred or made by the Trustee in defense of any action brought against it in connection with this Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith or that is the responsibility of Certificateholders under this Agreement. Additionally, the Servicer, pursuant to Section 7.02, shall indemnify the Trustee with respect to certain matters.

Section 9.09 Eligibility Requirements For Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee under this Agreement shall at all times be a corporation having its corporate trust office in the same state (or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) as the location of the Corporate Trust Office as specified in this Agreement; organized and doing business under the laws of such state (or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) or the United States; authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having a long-term deposit rating no lower than by Moody's (if Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency), or be otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each of them (which acceptance may be evidenced in the form of a letter, dated on or shortly before the Closing Date, assigning an initial rating to the Rated Certificates).
If the Trustee 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, 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 Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.10.
Section 9.10 Resignation Or Removal Of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts created by this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
60
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If it shall remove the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee.
(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 9.11. The Servicer shall give each Rating Agency notice of any such resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment and acceptance of a successor Trustee.
Section 9.11 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor 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 Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all documents and statements held by it under this Agreement; and the Servicer and the predecessor 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 Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Trustee under this Agreement to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and shall give notice by mail to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the servicer.
Section 9.12 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, which corporation executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.09, 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. Notice of any such merger shall be given by the Trustee to each Rating Agency.
Section 9.13 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 Trust or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with
61
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the 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 9.09 and no notice of a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.11.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the 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 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 (whether as Trustee under this Agreement or as successor to the Servicer under this Agreement), the 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 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 Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly (or during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Trustee alone) 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 Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee 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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
62

(i) Organization and Good Standing. The Trustee is a national banking corporation duly organized, existing and in good standing;
(ii) Power and Authority. The Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement;
(iii) No Violation.

(iv) No Authorization Required. The execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Agreement shall not require the authorization, consent, or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee; and
(v) Duly Executed. This Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and shall constitute the legal, valid, and binding agreement of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.
Section 9.15 Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Servicer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Trustee for signature at least five days before such returns are due to be filed.

Section 9.16 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.
Section 9.17 Suit for Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
63
contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Certificateholders.
Section 9.18 Rights of Certificateholders to Direct Trustee. Holders of Certificates evidencing not less the 25% of the Voting Interests of a Class (but excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any of their affiliates) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that subject to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided further that nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Certificateholders.
Section 10.01 Termination of the Trust.
(a) The Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the purchase as of any Distribution Date by the Seller or Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.03, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement, [or (iv) a Swap Termination Event as provided in Section 10.02] (iii) the maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date of this Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and each Rating Agency of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders must surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and retirement of the Certificates, shall be given promptly by the Trustee (at the written direction of the Servicer) by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the 15th day and not earlier than the 30th day prior to the date on which such final distribution is expected to occur specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) if applicable, that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee) at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given, the Seller, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall make deposits into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.05, or, in the case of an optional purchase of Receivables pursuant to Section 10.02, shall deposit the amount specified in Section 10.02. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06.
64
(c) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for retirement within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for retirement and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for retirement, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to the California Special Olympics.
Section 10.02 Optional Purchase of All Receivables. On each Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than the Optional Purchase Percentage (expressed as a seven-digit decimal figure) multiplied by the Original Pool Balance, the Seller shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Trust; provided that the option to purchase provided in this Section shall not be exercised if the final distribution to Certificateholders would be less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Certificates plus the sum of (i) the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for the related Distribution Date, (ii) any unpaid Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, (iii) the Class B Interest Distributable Amount for the related Distribution Date and (iv) any unpaid Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall. To exercise such option, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than the tenth day of the month preceding the month in which the Distribution Date as of which such purchase is to be effected and shall, on or before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur, deposit pursuant to Section 4.06 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with the recovery thereof), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency, the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may not effect any such purchase if the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the related entity are rated less than , unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such purchase will not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, or Xxxxx'x is otherwise satisfied, as evidenced by written notice from Moody's to the Trustee. Upon such deposit of the amount necessary to purchase the corpus of the Trust, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables. The payment shall be made in the manner specified in Section 4.06, and shall be distributed pursuant to Section 4.07. In the event that both the Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, elect to purchase the Receivables pursuant to this Section, the party first notifying the Trustee (based on the Trustee's receipt of such notice) shall be permitted to purchase the Receivables.

The Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, may, at its option, purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable only on a Distribution Date following the last day of the month in which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Class A Certificate to be duly executed.
