TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Issuer” or the “Company,” which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of

 

DOLLARS or if this is a Principal Indexed Note, the principal amount as determined in accordance with the terms set forth under “Other Provisions” above and/or in an Addendum attached hereto, on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Stated Maturity Date), and to pay interest on the principal or face amount hereof as set forth above, at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and any Addendum relating hereto depending upon the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, if any, and such other terms specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Reference herein to “this Note,” “hereof,” “herein,” “as specified above” and comparable terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.

 

The Company will pay interest monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or such other period as specified above under “Interest Payment Period,” on each Interest Payment Date specified above, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date specified above next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, Optional Repayment Date or the repayment date for the Survivor’s Option (if specified as so repayable at the option of the Holder on the face hereof or in an attached Addendum) (the date of each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Optional Repayment Date, the repayment date for the Survivor’s Option and the date on which principal or an installment of principal is due and payable by declaration of acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Indenture being referred to hereinafter as a “Maturity” with respect to principal payable on such date); provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date; and provided further, unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto, that if “Following” is specified above under Business Day Convention, if an Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day (the “Following Business Day Convention”), and if “Modified Following” is specified above under Business Day Convention, if an Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day unless such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest Payment Date shall be the next preceding day that is a Business Day (the “Modified Following Business Day Convention”). Except as provided above, interest payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown above. Unless otherwise specified above, the “Regular Record Date” shall be the date 15 calendar days (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the Original Issue Date specified above, at the rates determined from time to time as specified herein, until the principal hereof has been paid or made available for payment. If the Maturity falls on a day which is not a Business Day as defined below, the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest due on such Maturity will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with

 

4



 

the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Maturity. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will as provided in the Indenture be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided, that payment of interest due at maturity will be made to the person to whom payment of the principal of this Note will be made. Any such interest which is payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

Unless otherwise specified under Specified Currency above and/or in an Addendum attached hereto, this Note will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, on this Note will be made in U.S. dollars or in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payments of public and private debts. If this Note is not denominated in U.S. dollars or if payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, on this Note will be made in or by reference to a currency or in amounts determined by reference to one or more currencies other than that in which this Note is denominated, any other applicable provisions will be included in an Addendum attached hereto. However, unless otherwise specified in an Addendum attached hereto, if such currency is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control or is no longer used by the relevant government or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note will be made in U.S. dollars until such currency is again available to the Company or so used. If the Company cannot make payment in the Specified Currency indicated above solely because that currency has been replaced by the euro, then, beginning with the date the replacement becomes effective, the Company will be able to satisfy its obligations under this Note by making payment in euro or such other currency. The amounts payable on any date in such currency will be converted into euro or such other currency on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for such currency or as otherwise indicated in an Addendum attached hereto.

 

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made at the Office or Agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided, further, that at the option of the Company, the Holder of this Note may be entitled to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Trustee not less than 15 days prior to the applicable payment date.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Trustee for this Note under the Indenture, or its successor

thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company designated as its Medium-Term Notes, Series B-TMCC CoreNotes® (the “Notes”). The Notes are issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 1991 as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 1, 1991, and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 31, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”) between the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee (as defined below) and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall act as Trustee with respect to the Notes (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee with respect to the Notes under the Indenture). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates or interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Notes will be issued in global form only registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee. The Notes will not be issued in definitive form, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, and ownership of the Notes shall be maintained in book entry form by DTC for the accounts of participating organizations of DTC (“DTC Participants”).

 

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided above in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs, is not redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

 

If no Redemption Date is set forth above, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date. If so provided above, this Note may be redeemed by the Company on any Redemption Date specified above in whole or part in increments of $1,000 (unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto, and provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least $1,000) at the option of the Company at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) together with accrued interest hereon at the applicable rate payable to the applicable Redemption Date upon written Notice of Redemption specified above or such other notice specified in an Addendum attached hereto. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

 

Unless otherwise specified in an Addendum attached hereto, the “Redemption Price” shall be 100% of the principal amount of this Note.

 

Unless otherwise specified in an Addendum attached hereto, this Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder other than pursuant to the Survivor’s Option (as defined below). If this Note shall be repayable at the option of the Holder as specified in an attached Addendum hereto, unless otherwise specified in such Addendum, on any Optional Repayment

Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto, and provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least $1,000) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. If specified as repayable at the option of the Holder in such Addendum, for this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached hereto as Annex A, duly completed, by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or such address which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the related Optional Repayment Date or such other time as is specified in an Addendum attached hereto. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

 

If specified on the face of this Note, the estate of the deceased beneficial owner of this Note will be eligible to request the repurchase of this Note, in whole or in part, prior to maturity for a principal amount of at least $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least $1,000) (the “Survivor’s Option”). No Survivor’s Option may be exercised unless the Original Issue Date specified above was at least one year prior to the beneficial owner’s exercise of the Survivor’s Option.

 

If a Survivor’s Option is exercised, the Company shall repay this Note if properly tendered for repayment by or on behalf of the person that has apparent authority to act on behalf of the deceased owner of this Note under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the beneficial interest to be repaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date of repayment, subject to the Annual Put Limitation and the Individual Put Limitation described below.

 

The Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes subject to a Survivor’s Option that may be exercised by all Holders of the Notes in any calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”), to an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) 1% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year. The Company also has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of the Notes subject to a Survivor’s Option that may be exercised in any calendar year on behalf of any individual deceased owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes to $200,000 (the “Individual Put Limitation”).

 

An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn, unless the Company does not accept the election during a calendar year as a result of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation and, after such exercise, this Note may not be transferred prior to repayment by the Company. Each valid election to exercise a Survivor’s Option will be considered for acceptance in the order received by the Trustee for purpose of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation. If all or part of this Note is accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option the date of repayment will be no later than the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. Any part of this Note submitted for repayment that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation will be deemed to be tendered on the first day of the following calendar year in the order in which all such Notes were originally tendered. If any part of this Note is submitted for repayment pursuant to a valid

 

7



 

election of the Survivor’s Option and is not accepted due to such limitations, the Trustee will deliver a written notice by first-class mail to the applicable DTC Participant that states the reason that it has not been accepted for repayment.

 

To obtain repayment pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option for this Note, the deceased owner’s authorized person must provide the following items to the DTC Participant through which the related beneficial interest is owned: (i) a written instruction to such DTC Participant to notify DTC of the authorized person’s desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option; (ii) appropriate evidence that (a) the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in this Note at the time of death, (b) the death of the owner has occurred and (c) the requesting person has authority to act on behalf of the deceased owner; (iii) if the beneficial interest in this Note is held by a nominee of the deceased owner, a certificate from the nominee attesting to the deceased owner’s ownership of a beneficial interest in this Note; (iv) a written request for repayment signed by the authorized person for the deceased owner with a Medallion Guarantee Stamp attached; (v) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; (vi) tax waivers and any other instruments or documents reasonably required in order to establish the validity of the ownership of the beneficial interest in this Note and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and (vii) any additional information to document the ownership or authority to exercise the Survivor’s Option and to cause the repayment of this Note.

 

In addition, the applicable DTC Participant must deliver each of these items to the Trustee, together with the Repayment Election Form attached hereto as Annex B and evidence satisfactory to the Trustee from the DTC Participant stating that it represents the deceased owner of the beneficial interest in this Note.

 

All questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.

 

The death of a person owning this Note in joint tenancy with another or others will be deemed the death of the owner of this Note, and the entire principal amount of this Note so owned will be eligible for repayment as described above.

 

The death of a person owning this Note by tenancy in common will be deemed the death of an owner of this Note only with respect to the deceased owner’s interest in this Note. However, if this Note is held by husband and wife as tenants in common, the death of either spouse will be deemed the death of the owner of this Note, and the entire principal amount of this Note so owned will be eligible for repayment as described above.

 

If this Note is beneficially owned by a trust, it will be regarded as beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s interest in the trust. The death of a beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this Note beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s interest in the trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust. The death of an individual who

 

8



 

was a tenant in common in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust only with respect to the deceased holder’s beneficial interest in this Note, unless a husband and wife are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust.

 

The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership of this Note will be deemed the death of the owner of this Note if the beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. The beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Acts, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and custodial and trust arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership in this Note during his or her lifetime.

 

The applicable DTC Participant will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the Trustee to the authorized person for the deceased owner.

 

Payments on this Note in connection with the exercise of the Survivor’s Option may be made to any person who submits the Repayment Election Form and related supporting documentation that appears on its face to be correct. The Company and the Trustee each disclaim any liability arising in connection with such payments, including without limitation liability relating to the submission of fraudulent documentation.

 

The interest rate borne by this Note shall be determined as follows:

 

1.                                       If this Note is designated as a Regular Floating Rate Note above, then, except as described below, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis shown above (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

 

2.                                       If this Note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note above, then, except as described below, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis shown above (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate; and (ii) unless specified above, the interest rate in effect commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date to the Maturity shall be the Fixed Interest Rate, if such a rate is specified above, or if no such Fixed

 

9



 

Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

 

3.                                       If this Note is designated as an Inverse Floating Rate Note above, then, except as described below, this Note will bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest Rate indicated above minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis shown above (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described above; provided, however, that the interest rate hereon will not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

 

4.                                       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is designated above as having an Addendum attached, the Note shall bear interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum. If interest on this Note is to be calculated in accordance with the terms of an attached Addendum, unless otherwise specified in such Addendum, commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

 

Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined on the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision below.

 

Unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto, if “Following” is specified above under Business Day Convention, if any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall follow the Following Business Day Convention, and if “Modified Following” is specified above under Business Day Convention, if any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall follow the Modified Following Business Day Convention.

 

Unless otherwise specified above, interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or made available for payment (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified above, if no interest has been paid or made available for payment), to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the interest payments on Maturity will include interest accrued to but excluding such Maturity.

 

10



 

Unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto, this Note will accrue interest on an “Actual/360” basis, an “Actual/Actual” basis, or a “30/360” basis, in each case from the period from the Original Issue Date to the date of Maturity, unless specified otherwise in an Addendum attached hereto. If this Note is calculated on an Actual/360 basis or an Actual/Actual basis (as specified above), accrued interest for each Interest Calculation Period, as defined below, will be calculated by multiplying:

 

(1)                                  the face amount of this Note by

 

(2)                                  the applicable interest rate and by

 

(3)                                  the actual number of days in the related Interest Calculation Period

 

and dividing the resulting product by 360 or 365, as applicable; or with respect to an Actual/Actual basis Note, if any portion of the related Interest Calculation Period falls in a leap year, the product of (1) and (2) above will be multiplied by the sum of:

 

•             the actual number of days in that portion of the related Interest Calculation Period falling in a leap year divided by 366, and

 

•             the actual number of days in that portion of the related Interest Calculation Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365.

 

If this Note is calculated on a 30/360 basis (as specified above), accrued interest for an Interest Calculation Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, irrespective of how many days are actually in such Interest Calculation Period. Unless otherwise specified above and/or in an Addendum attached hereto, if this Note accrues interest on a 30/360 basis, if any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

 

As used herein, “Interest Calculation Period” means with respect to any period, the period from and including the most recent Interest Reset Date (or from and including the Original Issue Date in the case of the first Interest Reset Date), to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Reset Date for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified above, interest with respect to Notes for which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

 

Unless otherwise specified above and/or in an attached Addendum hereto, the “Interest Reset Date” for Notes that reset as follows will be: if daily, each Business Day; if weekly, the Wednesday of each week, with the exception of weekly reset floating rate notes as to which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset the Tuesday of each week; if monthly, the third Wednesday of each month, with the exception of monthly reset floating rate notes as to which the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Notes is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset on the first calendar day of the month; if quarterly, the third Wednesday

 

11



 

of March, June, September and December of each year; if semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified above and/or in an attached Addendum hereto; and if annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified above and/or in an attached Addendum hereto; provided, however, that, for Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes, the interest rate will not reset after the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

 

Unless otherwise specified above, the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the CMS Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” for the Federal Funds Rate will be the first Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco publishes the Index (as defined below); the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined and compared on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

 

Unless otherwise specified above, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or date of Maturity, as the case may be. All calculations on this Note shall be made by the Calculation Agent specified above or such successor thereto as is duly appointed by the Company.

 

Unless specified otherwise in the Addendum attached hereto, all percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest thousandth of a percentage point, with five one ten-thousandths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.8765% (or .098765) would be rounded to 9.876% (or .09876)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

 

As used herein, “Business Day” means:

 

1.                           for United States Dollar denominated Notes for which LIBOR is not an applicable Interest Rate Basis:  any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are

 

12



 

authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York (a “New York Business Day”);

 

2.                           for United States Dollar denominated Notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis:  a day that is both (x) a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the designated Index Currency (as defined below), in London (a “London Banking Day”) and (y) a New York Business Day;

Determination of CMS Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CMS Rate, the CMS rate shall be determined on the related Interest Determination Date (a “CMS Rate Interest Determination Date”) for U.S. dollar swaps having the Index Maturity specified above published by the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 and which appears on the Reuters Screen ISDAFIX1 Page (rounded to the nearest third decimal place (one thousandth of a percentage point)) as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time. If the rate referred to above is no longer displayed on the relevant page, then the CMS Rate for the applicable CMS Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable CMS Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers in the City of New York (each, a “Reference Dealer”), which may include the Calculation Agent or its affiliates selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent after eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate, and, for this purpose, the semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the Index Maturity specified above commencing on the Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time, with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an Actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a designated maturity of the Interest Calculation Period applicable to this Note. If three or four and not five of the Reference Dealers are quoting as referred to in the preceding sentence, then the CMS Rate for the applicable CMS Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotes will be eliminated. If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in the preceding sentence, the CMS Rate will be the rate in effect on the applicable CMS Interest Determination Date.

 

Determination of CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CMT Rate, the CMT rate shall be determined on the related Interest Determination Date (a “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”), as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption “…Treasury Constant Maturities…Federal Reserve Board Release H.15…Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.,” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for: (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as specified above, for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest Determination Date occurs. If such

 

14



 

rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15 (519). If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is no longer published, or if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to the applicable Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in H.15 (519). If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three Reference Dealers, which may include the Calculation Agent or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent after eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Note”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If three or four and not five of the Reference Dealers are quoting as referred to in the preceding sentence, then the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of the quotes will be eliminated. If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such Treasury Note quotations as referred to in the preceding sentence, the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent after eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If three or four and not five of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described in the preceding sentence, then the CMT Rate for the applicable CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers as selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described above, the CMT Rate will be the rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest

 

15



 

Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence, have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.

 

“Designated CMT Telerate Page” means the display on the Reuters Telerate LLC or any successor service on the page designated above or any other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15 (519).

 

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, or 30 years specified above with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated.

 

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as indicated above, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date”), as the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 (519) under the heading “Commercial Paper - Nonfinancial”. If such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the caption “Commercial Paper—Nonfinancial”. If the rate in the preceding sentence is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date in either H.15 (519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Commercial Paper Rate for the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in the City of New York, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized securities rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

 

“Money Market Yield” shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage rounded upwards to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

Money Market Yield =

 

D x 360

 

x 100

 

 

360-(D x M)

 

 

 

16



 

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

 

Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, as indicated above, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (an “Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date”), and shall be the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the applicable Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls as set forth under the caption “11th District” on the display on Reuters Telerate LLC or any successor service on page 7058 or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service (“Telerate Page 7058”) as of 11:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on the applicable Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate for such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (the “Index”) by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco as the cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding for the applicable Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; if the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or before the applicable Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such applicable Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate for such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

 

Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as indicated above, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date”), as the rate with respect to such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15 (519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters Telerate LLC or any successor service on page 120 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Telerate Page 120”) or, if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for the applicable Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the rate with respect to the applicable Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”  If the rate in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for the applicable Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time on the

 

17



 

business day following the Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate for such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

 

Determination of LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is LIBOR, as indicated above, LIBOR will be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “LIBOR Interest Determination Date”), and will be, either: (a) if “LIBOR Telerate” is specified above, or if neither “LIBOR Reuters” nor “LIBOR Telerate” is specified above, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated above commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page specified above as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or (b) if “LIBOR Reuters” is specified above, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated above, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page specified above as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (except as provided in the following sentence) on such Designated LIBOR Page. If the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides for only a single rate, then the single rate wil be used.

 

With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the applicable Designated LIBOR Page, as specified above, LIBOR for the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; if at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

(or such other time specified above under “OTHER PROVISIONS” or in the Addendum) in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, in that Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in such Index Currency to leading European banks having the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

If fewer than four rates described in the preceding sentence appear in Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate for the applicable Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate for the applicable Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Treasury Rate, as specified above, the Treasury Rate shall be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate from the auction held on the applicable Treasury Interest Rate Determination Date (“Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury bills”) having the Index Maturity specified above under the caption “INVESTMENT RATE” on the display on Reuters Telerate LLC or any successor service on page 56 or any other page as may replace page 56 on that service (“Telerate Page 56”) or page 57 or any other page that may replace page 57 on that service (“Telerate Page 57”). If such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate for the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High”. If such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate for the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. If the rate described in the preceding sentence is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Treasury Rate for the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified above published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market.”  If the rate described in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate for the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market.”  If the rate described in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate for the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers, which may include the Calculation Agent or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate will be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

 

“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

 

Bond Equivalent Yield =

 

D x N

 

x 100

 

 

360 – (D x M)

 

 

 

20



 

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Indenture, for purposes of determining the rights of a Holder of a Note for which the principal thereof is determined by reference to the price or prices of specified commodities or stocks, interest rate indices, interest or exchange rate swap indices, the exchange rate of one or more specified currencies relative to another currency or such other price, exchange rate or other financial index or indices as specified above (a “Principal Indexed Note”), in respect of voting for or against amendments to the Indenture and modifications and the waiver of rights thereunder, the principal amount of any such Principal Indexed Note shall be deemed to be equal to the face amount thereof upon issuance. The method for determining the amount of principal payable at Maturity on a Principal Indexed Note will be specified in an attached Addendum.

 

Any provision contained herein with respect to the determination of an Interest Rate Basis, the specification of Interest Rate Basis, calculation of the Interest Rate applicable to this Note, its payment dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto and references herein to “this Note,” “hereof,” “herein,” “as specified above” or similar language of like import shall also be references to any such Addendum.

The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

 

At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent shall provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which shall become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected thereby at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in

 

21



 

exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof (unless specified otherwise in the Addendum attached hereto). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

SURVIVOR’S OPTION INSTRUCTIONS

 

In accordance with the provisions of the above-referenced Notes and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the “Survivor’s Option” is the agreement of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (“TMCC”) with the beneficial owner of a Note to repurchase that Note, in whole or in part, if requested, upon the death of the beneficial owner, provided that such request is made at least one year after the date of issuance of the Note. Unless otherwise specified, the estate of the deceased beneficial owner of a Note will be eligible to exercise a Survivor’s Option. All terms used herein have the meanings as defined in the Notes or the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

You may elect to demand repayment of your Notes, in whole or in part, in increments of $1,000 at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof together with unpaid interest accrued to the date of repayment. Other than as described in the prospectus supplement in the limited situation involving tenders of Notes that are not accepted during one calendar year as a result of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation, an otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn. Each election to exercise a Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order received, except for any Note the acceptance of which would contravene the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation. Notes accepted for repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be repaid no later than the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. Each Note submitted for repurchase that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation will be deemed to be tendered on the first day of the following calendar year in the order in which all such Notes were originally tendered. If a valid election of the Survivor’s Option cannot be honored, the Trustee or its agent will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the applicable DTC Participant, stating the reason

 

DTC or its nominee will be treated as the registered holder of the Notes and will be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Notes. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option for a Note through DTC, the deceased owner’s authorized person must provide the following items to each DTC participant (the “Participant”) through which the related beneficial interest is owned.

 

•                  a written instruction to the Participant to notify DTC of the authorized person’s desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option;

 

•                  appropriate evidence that (a)the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in the related Note at the time of death, (b) the death of the owner has occurred and (c) the person has authority to act on behalf of the deceased owner;

 

•                  if the beneficial interest in the related Note is held by a nominee of the deceased owner, a certificate from the nominee attesting to the deceased owner’s ownership of a beneficial interest in such Note;

 

•                  a written request for repayment signed by the authorized person for the deceased owner with a Medallion Guarantee Stamp attached. This stamp can be obtained from a financial institution that is a member of the Notes Transfer Association Medallion Program, New York Exchange Medallion Program or Global Note Exchange Medallion Program;

 

•                  if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

 

•                  tax waivers and any other instruments or documents reasonably required in order to establish the validity of the ownership of the beneficial interest in the related Note and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and

 

•                  any additional information reasonably required to document the ownership or authority to exercise the Survivor’s Option and to cause the repayment of the related Note.

 

In turn, the applicable Participant will deliver each of these items to the Trustee, together with evidence satisfactory to the Trustee from the Participant stating that it represents the deceased owner of the beneficial interest in the related Note.

 

All questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by TMCC, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.

 



 

For purposes of determining whether the Trustee will deem Notes beneficially owned by an individual at the time of death, the following rules shall apply:

 

•                  Notes beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety or joint tenants will be regarded as beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner, and the Notes beneficially owned will become eligible for repayment. The death of a person beneficially owning a Note by tenancy in common will be deemed the death of a holder of a Note only with respect to the deceased holder’s interest in the Note so held by tenancy in common, unless a husband and wife are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be deemed the death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held will be eligible for repayment.

 

•                  Notes beneficially owned by a trust will be regarded as beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s interest in the trust (however, a trust’s beneficiaries collectively cannot be beneficial owners of more Notes than are owned by the trust). The death of a beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of the Notes beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of that beneficiary’s interest in the trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant by the entirety or joint tenant in a tenancy, which is the beneficiary of a trust, will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant in common in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust only with respect to the deceased holder’s beneficial interest in the Note, unless a husband and wife are the tenants in common, in which case the death of either will be deemed the death of the beneficiary of the trust.

 

•                  The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interest in a Note will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of that Note, regardless of the registration of ownership, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. Such beneficial interest will exist in many cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act and community property or other joint ownership arrangements between spouses. Beneficial interest will be evidenced by such factors as the power to sell or otherwise dispose of a Note, the right to receive the proceeds of sale or disposition and the right to receive interest and principal payments on a Note.

 

The applicable DTC Participant will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the Trustee to the authorized person for the deceased owner. The Survivor’s Option settlements will be handled by way of delivery versus payment between the DTC Participant and the Trustee, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Trustee’s DTC Participant number is 1572.

 

To request repayment, the DTC Participant must complete the form attached hereto and send an original, by mail (registered mail is suggested), by hand or overnight courier to:
