Revolving liquidity notes

In certain securitization structures, revolving liquidity notes (“RLN”) are used in lieu of deposits to a cash reserve fund. The securitization trust may draw upon the RLN to cover any shortfall in interest and principal payments to investors. Toyota funds any draws, and the terms of the RLN obligate the securitization trust to repay amounts drawn plus accrued interest. Repayments of principal and interest due under the RLN are subordinated to principal and interest payments on the asset-backed securities and, in some circumstances, to deposits into a reserve account. If collections are insufficient to repay amounts outstanding under a RLN, Toyota will recognize a loss for the outstanding amounts. Toyota must fund the entire amount available under the RLN if Toyota’s short-term unsecured debt rating is downgraded below P-1 or A-1 by Moody’s or S&P, respectively. Management believes the likelihood of Toyota incurring such losses or Toyota’s short-term credit rating being downgraded is remote. There were no outstanding amounts drawn on the RLN’s at March 31, 2006 and 2007. The RLN had no material fair value as of March 31, 2006 and 2007. Toyota has not recognized a liability for the RLN because it does not expect to be required to fund any amounts under the RLN.

Toyota may enter into a swap agreement with the securitization trust under which the securitization trust is obligated to pay Toyota a fixed rate of interest on payment dates in exchange for receiving amounts equal to the floating rate of interest payable on the asset backed securities. This arrangement enables the securitization trust to issue securities bearing interest on a basis different from that of the receivables held.

Toyota continues to service the sold receivables for a servicing fee. Toyota’s servicing duties include collecting payments on receivables and submitting them to the trustee for distribution to the certificate holders. While servicing the sold receivables for the securitization trusts, Toyota applies the same servicing policies and procedures that are applied to the owned receivables and maintains a normal relationship with the financing customers.

Other significant provisions relating to securitizations are described below.
