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 as set forth above at the Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Reference herein to “this Note”, “hereof”, “herein” and comparable terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.

 

The Company will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified above, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date or Optional Repayment Date (if specified as repayable at the option of the Holder in an attached Addendum) (the date of each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date and Optional Repayment Date 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 most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date specified above, to, but excluding such Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified in an Addendum attached hereto, if the Maturity or an Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day as defined below, the payment due on such Maturity or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity or Interest

Payment Date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Maturity or Interest Payment Date. 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. 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. In addition, unless otherwise specified in an Addendum attached hereto, 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 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 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.

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

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.
