1998-C SECURITIZATION TRUST AGREEMENT
THIS 1998-C SECURITIZATION TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1,
1998, is made with respect to the formation of the TOYOTA AUTO LEASE TRUST
1998-C (the "1998-C Securitization Trust"), between TOYOTA LEASING, INC. a
California corporation ("Transferor" or, in its capacity as transferor
hereunder, the "Transferor"), U.S. Bank National Association, a national
banking association, as trustee (the "1998-C Securitization Trustee").
RECITALS
A. The Toyota Lease Trust (the "Titling Trust") is governed by the
Amended and Restated Trust and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1,
1996 (the "Titling Trust Agreement") among Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, a
California corporation, as grantor, initial beneficiary and servicer ("TMCC"
and in its capacity as servicer, the "Servicer"), TMTT, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as trustee (the "Titling Trustee") and, for the limited purposes
stated therein, First Bank National Association (now known as U.S. Bank
National Association), a national banking association, as trust agent.
Pursuant to the Co-Trustee Agreement, Delaware Trust Capital Management, Inc.
will act as co-trustee of the Titling Trust. The Titling Trust acquires and
holds title to various automobiles, light-duty trucks, related lease
contracts and certain other assets in accordance with the terms of the
Titling Trust Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined in these
Recitals have the meanings given in Article I below.
B. Concurrently herewith, TMCC, the Titling Trustee U.S. Bank National
Association (formerly known as First Bank National Association) ("U.S. Bank")
have entered into the 1998-C SUBI Supplement to the Titling Trust Agreement
dated as of December 1, 1998 (the "1998-C SUBI Supplement") pursuant to which
the Titling Trust, at the direction of TMCC, will create and issue a special
unit of beneficial interest in the Titling Trust (the "1998-C SUBI"), whose
beneficiaries generally will be entitled to the net cash flow arising from
the related SUBI Portfolio (such SUBI Portfolio, the "1998-C SUBI
Portfolio"). The 1998-C SUBI will be evidenced by (i) one certificate (the
"1998-C SUBI Certificate") evidencing beneficial interests in the assets of
the 1998-C SUBI other than proceeds of the Residual Value Insurance Policies,
(whether or not such proceeds are attributable to the 1998-C Leased Vehicles
and the 0000-X Xxxxxxxxx) and (ii) one certificate (the "1998-C SUBI
Insurance Certificate") evidencing beneficial interests in the assets of the
1998-C SUBI that are proceeds of the Residual Value Insurance Policies
attributable to the 1998-C Leased Vehicles and the 1998-C Contracts (which
assets are net of claims adjustment expenses). The 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate collectively represent a 100%
beneficial interest in the 1998-C SUBI.
C. Concurrently herewith, the Titling Trustee (on behalf of the
Titling Trust), and the Servicer and U.S. Bank also have entered into a
1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement to the Titling Trust Agreement dated as of
December 1, 1998 (the "1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement"), pursuant to which
the terms of the Titling Trust Agreement will be supplemented insofar as they
apply to the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio, providing for further servicing
obligations that will benefit the holders of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate.
1
D. Concurrently herewith, TMCC and the Transferor have entered into
the 1998-C SUBI Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December
1, 1998 (the "SUBI Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement"), pursuant to
which TMCC sold to the Transferor, without recourse, all of TMCC's right,
title and interest in and to the 1998-C SUBI, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and
the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate, all monies due thereon and the right
to realize on any property subject to the 1998-C SUBI, and all proceeds
thereof, for the consideration stated therein. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the Transferor is not transferring or conveying to the
1998-C Securitization Trust or the 1998-C Securitization Trustee any right to
or interest in the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate.
E. The parties hereto desire that U.S. Bank, as securities
intermediary (the "SUBI Securities Intermediary"), establish a securities
account (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) in the name of U.S. Bank, as
1998-C Securitization Trustee (the "1998-C SUBI Securities Account") to which
the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be transferred pursuant to this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement.
F. The parties desire to enter into this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement to create the 1998-C Securitization Trust, to provide for the
issuance by the 1998-C Securitization Trust of certain Certificates and to
provide for the exchange of those Certificates for the 1998-C SUBI
Certificate in connection with a Securitized Financing by the Transferor.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2.02 CONVEYANCE OF 1998-C SUBI CERTIFICATE.
(a) CONVEYANCE TO 1998-C SECURITIZATION TRUSTEE. In consideration of

aggregate equal to the Initial Class A-1 Certificate Balance, Initial Class A-2
Certificate Balance, Initial Class A-3 Certificate Balance and Initial Class B

without recourse (subject to the Transferor's obligations herein):
(i) all of the right, title and interest of the Transferor in

3

and the 1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement; and
(iv) all proceeds of the foregoing; provided that all monies and
payments due or payable under any Residual Value Insurance Policies
applicable to the 1998-C Leased Vehicles and the 1998-C Contracts and the
right to receive such payments and monies, as evidenced by the 1998-C
SUBI Insurance Certificate, are retained by the Transferor and are not
hereby transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed to the 1998-C

to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee a security interest in all of the foregoing
(exclusive of the monies and payments referred to in the proviso in Section

powers and privileges thereto and therein of a secured party under the New York
UCC.
(c) TERMINATION. The rights and powers granted herein to the
1998-C Securitization Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its
security interests in the assets referred to in Section 2.02(a), are powers
coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of
any other person or entity nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the
SUBI Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the
security interests of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in the 1998-C SUBI
Securities Account have been terminated pursuant to the terms of this
Securitization Trust Agreement and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee has
notified the SUBI Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing. In
the event of a termination of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement

SUBI pursuant to Section 7.02, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee is hereby
authorized to convey all interests in the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and in the
1998-C SUBI evidenced thereby to the Transferor. In the event of a
termination of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement pursuant to Section
7.01(a)(iv) or (v), the 1998-C Securitization Trustee is hereby authorized to
convey all interests in the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and in the 1998-C SUBI

Certificate on the occurrence of a Swap Termination in connection with the
related liquidation of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, in each case pursuant
to Section 8.02. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall not be responsible
for or have any liability with respect to any losses incurred in connection
with any such liquidation, other than as a result of its own negligence or
willful misfeasance.

The 1998-C Securitization Trustee does hereby accept all consideration
conveyed by the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.02 and declares that the 1998-C

forth for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the terms and
provisions of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement.

In accepting the 1998-C SUBI Certificate, the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee does hereby release all claims to the Titling Trust Assets allocated to

release is not given effect, to fully subordinate all claims it may be deemed to
have against the Titling Trust Assets allocated thereto.

which are the sole property of the Transferor) and, except as provided in this
1998-C SUBI Securitization Trust Agreement, the 1998-C SUBI Supplement and the
1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement, neither the Titling Trustee nor the Servicer

ALLOCATIONS, APPLICATIONS AND PAYMENTS; THE RESERVE FUND;
STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
3.01 ALLOCATIONS, APPLICATIONS AND PAYMENTS.
(a) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATES; DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PAYMENT
AMOUNTS; SERVICER'S CERTIFICATES.
(i) For the initial Interest Payment Period, the Class A-1
Rate, Class A-2 Rate, Class A-3 Rate and Class B Rate shall be determined
by straight line interpolation (based on the actual number of days in the
initial Interest Payment Period) such rate to be calculated by the
[Trustee] two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. For each
subsequent Interest Payment Period the 1998-C Securitization Trustee will
make the following determinations:
(A) On the second Interest Determination Business Day
(defined below) preceding the first day of each Interest Payment
Period, (the "Interest Determination Date"), for each Class of
Class A Certificates, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee will
determine the London interbank offered rate for U.S. Dollar
deposits having maturities of three months ("three month LIBOR")
or, if such Interest Payment Period commences on or after the
related Targeted Maturity Date, one month ("one-month LIBOR"), in
each case as at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest
Determination Date in question. Such offered rate will be that
which appears on the display designated as Telerate Page 3750 on
the Dow Xxxxx Telerate Service (or such other page or service as
may replace it for the purpose of displaying London interbank
offered rates of major banks for U.S. Dollar deposits).
5
(B) If for any reason the relevant page is unavailable
or such offered rate does not appear, the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee shall determine the rates at which three-month deposits
(or one-month deposits, if applicable) in U.S. Dollars are offered
by four major banks in the London interbank market (the "Reference
Banks") at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest
Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market
commencing on the first day of the relevant Interest Payment
Period. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall request the
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide
a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided
as requested, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall determine
the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided as requested, the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee shall determine the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in New York City, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the first day of the relevant Interest Payment
Period for three-month loans (or one-month loans, if applicable)
in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks commencing on that date.
The rate so determined by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee will
be "three-month LIBOR" (or "one-month LIBOR" as applicable) for
such Interest Payment Period.
(ii) The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall as soon as
practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Interest Determination
Date determine the Class A-1 Rate, Class A-2 Rate, Class A-3 Rate and
Class B Rate, the actual number of days in the related Interest Payment
Period and the Interest Payment Amount for each Class of Certificates.
(iii) If on any relevant Certificate Payment Date for the Class
A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates
or the Class B Certificates, the aggregate of amounts payable to the Swap
Counterparty as described below in Section 3.01(e)(i)(A) is less than the
relevant Class A-1 Swap Interest Amount, Class A-2 Swap Interest Amount,
Class A-3 Swap Interest Amount or Class B Swap Interest Amounts as the
case may be, then on the relevant Determination Date, the Servicer shall
calculate the Class A-1 Interest Payment Amount, Class A-2 Interest
Payment Amount, Class A-3 Interest Payment Amount or Class B Interest
Payment Amount, as the case may be, during the relevant Interest Payment
Period by reducing such amounts by the same proportion as the related
Class A-1 Swap Interest Shortfall Amount, Class A-2 Swap Interest
Shortfall Amount, Class A-3 Swap Interest Shortfall Amount or Class B
Swap Interest Shortfall Amount, as the case may be, represents of such
Class A-1 Swap Interest Amount, Class A-2 Swap Interest Amount, Class A-3
Swap Interest Amount and/or Class B Swap Interest Amount.
(iv) If on any Certificate Payment Date subsequent to a
Certificate Payment Date upon which a Proportional Reduction occurred, as
defined in Section 3.01(a)(iii), amounts have been or are allocable
pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) on Monthly Allocation Dates after
preceding Certificate Payment Date (including on the current Certificate
Payment Date), the Servicer shall calculate the Class A-1 Interest
Payment Amount, Class A-2 Interest Payment Amount, Class A-3 Interest
Payment Amount and Class B Interest Payment Amount for the current
Certificate Payment Date by (1) multiplying the percentages that amounts
allocated pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) represent of the current Class
A-1 Swap
6
Interest Amount, Class A-2 Swap Interest Amount, Class A-3 Swap
Interest Amount and/or Class B Swap Interest Amount times (2) the amount
of interest the 1998-C Securitization Trustee has calculated has accrued
during the related Interest Payment Period on the Class A-1 Certificates,
Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates or Class B Certificates,

related Targeted Maturity Date and (c) if the Adjusted Class
Certificate Balance of such Class has not been reduced to zero on
its Targeted Maturity Date, on each Monthly Allocation Date
following such Targeted Maturity Date until such Adjusted Class
Certificate Balance is reduced to zero, in each case to the extent

In exchange for amounts so paid to the Swap Counterparty
pursuant to the Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty generally is
obligated to pay to or as directed by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee (on behalf of and for the benefit of the Class A-1
Certificateholders, the Class A-2 Certificateholders and/or the

Swap Interest Amount, as the case may be. The 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall pay the Class A-1 Certificateholders,

available therefor.
In exchange for amounts so paid to the Swap Counterparty
pursuant to the Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty generally is
obligated to pay to or as directed by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee (on behalf of and for the benefit of the Class B
Certificateholders) amounts equal to the amount of interest
calculated by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee payable as

Trustee of the proceeds of such liquidation or sale to the
Transferor, payments of interest will be made to the Class B

Securitization Trustee shall pay the Class B Certificateholders
amounts reduced in proportion to the calculation of Proportional

to the 1998-C Securitization Trust (under the Swap Agreement) on
any Certificate Payment Date in exchange for amounts payable by
the 1998-C Securitization Trust to the Swap Counterparty in
respect of interest on the Class B Certificates will be increased
proportionately in the same proportion as such reimbursement of
such Swap Interest Shortfall Amount represents of such Class B
Swap Interest Amount. The 1998-C Securitization
12
Trustee shall pay the Class B Certificateholders such amounts
increased in proportion to the calculation of Proportional
Increase in Section 3.01(a)(iv) above.

will be entitled to withdraw from the 1998-C SUBI Collection Account for its own
benefit and use, the amounts allocated pursuant to clauses (vii) and (xii) of
Section 3.01(c) above, except that if the Servicer previously has made Advances

deposits of Collections into the 1998-C SUBI Collection Account net of amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Servicer as compensation amounts, in respect of
Advances or otherwise (including in respect of amounts advanced by the Servicer
in respect of amounts otherwise payable to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee or
to the Titling Trustee or Trust Agent), and net of amounts payable or
reimbursable (and actually so paid or reimbursed directly by the Servicer) in
respect of Titling Trust. To the extent the Servicer makes deposits net of any
such amounts, the Servicer will cause each relevant Servicer's Certificate to
correctly and accurately account for such amounts in providing all information
with respect to allocations, applications and payments to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement on the same basis as
though such amounts were in fact deposited into the 1998-C SUBI Collection
Account. Moreover, the Servicer will, in each relevant Servicer's Certificate,
instruct the 1998-C Securitization Trustee not to make any distribution to the
Servicer, Transferor or Titling Trustee to the extent that the Servicer has made
any deposit net of a corresponding amount. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee
will have no obligation with respect to or liability for following any such
instruction by the Servicer.

(after giving effect to any application of amounts withdrawn from the
Reserve Fund and Transferor Amounts available for such application

8.02, payments in reduction of the Adjusted Class A-1 Certificate Balance,
the Adjusted Class A-2 Certificate Balance, the Adjusted Class A-3
Certificate Balance or the Adjusted Class B Certificate Balance shall be made
from the proceeds of such liquidation based upon the priorities set forth in

Transferor must give the Servicer and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee no fewer
than two Business Days' written notice of its intention to do so. Amounts

of the
18
last day of the related Collection Period) until the Adjusted
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero.
(ii) Loss Amounts will be reimbursable on the Monthly Allocation
Date on which they are allocated, and Certificate Principal Loss Amounts
will be reimbursable on future Monthly Allocation Dates, in each case
from Available Interest, amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Fund and
Transferor Amounts pursuant to Sections 3.01(c), (d) and (i); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such reimbursements will be made for any Class of
Certificates after the first relevant Certificate Payment Date on which
the Adjusted Class B Certificate Balance, the Adjusted Class A-1
Certificate Balance, the Adjusted Class A-2 Certificate Balance, the
Adjusted Class A-3 Certificate Balance or the Adjusted Class B

Rate, Class A-3 Rate or Class B Rate, as the case may be, until
reimbursed or until the Adjusted Class B Certificate Balance, the
Adjusted Class A-1 Certificate Balance, the Adjusted Class A-2
Certificate Balance or the Adjusted Class A-3 Certificate Balance, as the
case may be, is reduced to zero, and allocations and payments in respect
thereof will be made pursuant to Section 3.01(c).
(o) PAYMENTS FOLLOWING SWAP TERMINATION. (i) Notwithstanding the
priorities set forth in Section 3.01 above, following any Swap Termination and
liquidation of the assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust pursuant to Section
8.02, the net proceeds of the liquidation of the assets of the 1998-C Trust will

Date following the receipt of such proceeds:
(1) to pay to the Transferor, an amount equal to the

applicable, on a pro rata basis, based on the respective amounts
of interest so accrued on each such Class, an amount equal to the
sum of the Class A-1 Swap Interest Amount, the Class A-2 Swap
Interest Amount and the Class A-3 Swap Interest Amount through the
date of such payment (with a single corresponding Interest Payment
Period from the most recent relevant Certificate Payment Date for
each Class of Class A Certificates through such date) and an
amount equal to the sum of the unreimbursed Class A-1 Swap
Interest Carryover Shortfall Amount, Class A-2 Swap Interest
Carryover
19

Amount through the date of such payment (with a single

Certificates through such date);
(5) to pay to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount
equal to the [Class B Swap Interest Amount and any Class B Swap

(7) to pay to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount

and
(8) to pay to the Transferor any remaining proceeds.

the Class A Certificates will be applied to cover any shortfall in the
amounts allocable and payable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1), (2),
(3), (4), (6), (5) and (7), in that order, with any remainder to be paid
pursuant to clause (8) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities,
to the extent that the Trust is required to make any swap termination
payment to the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Class A Certificates,
the amount thereof shall be made available from (and therefore shall
reduce) amounts otherwise allocable and payable pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (6), (4), (8), (7), (5), (3), (2) and (1) in that order.
(iii) Any swap termination payment payable by the Swap
Counterparty to the Trust pursuant to the Swap Agreement in respect of

shortfall in the amounts allocable and payable pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (1), (2), (3), (5) (to the extent allocable and payable to the

20
Fixed Rate Class B Certificates), (6) and (7) (to the extent allocable
and payable to the Fixed Rate Class B Certificates), in that order,
with any remainder to be paid pursuant to clause (8) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, to the extent that the Trust
is required to make any swap termination payment to the Swap Counterparty
in respect of the Adjustable Rate Class B Certificates, the amount
thereof shall be made available from (and therefore shall reduce) amounts
otherwise allocable and payable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (7)
(to the extent allocable and payable to the Adjustable Rate Class B
Certificates), (5) (to the extent allocable and payable to the Adjustable
Rate Class B Certificates), (8), (7) (to the extent allocable and payable
to the Fixed Rate Class B Certificates), (6), (5) (to the extent

(p) SUBORDINATION. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to
receive allocations, applications and payments in respect of certain amounts of
Available Interest, amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Fund and Transferor
Amounts shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Class A-1
Certificateholders, the Class A-2 Certificateholders and the Class A-3
Certificateholders to receive the allocations, applications and payments in
respect thereof to the extent dictated by the payment priorities set forth in
this Section 3.01.
(q) PROCEEDS OF RESIDUAL VALUE INSURANCE POLICIES. In the event that
any proceeds of the Residual Value Insurance Policies are transferred to an
account maintained by the Titling Trustee or the 1998-C Securitization Trustee,
such amounts shall be distributed to the holder of the 1998-C SUBI Insurance
Certificate by the Titling Trustee, or the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, as
applicable, on the succeeding Monthly Allocation Date as directed in writing by
the Servicer.
3.02 1998-C SUBI CERTIFICATEHOLDERS' ACCOUNT; THE RESERVE FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF 1998-C SUBI CERTIFICATEHOLDERS' ACCOUNT. A
separate trust account to be known as the "1998-C SUBI Certificateholders'
Account" will be established and shall be maintained with the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee which will include the money and other property deposited
and held therein pursuant to Section 3.01 and this Section. The 1998-C SUBI
Certificateholders' Account shall be an Eligible Account. If for any reason the
1998-C SUBI Certificateholders' Account is no longer an Eligible Account, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee shall promptly cause the 1998-C SUBI
Certificateholders' Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise
changed so that the 1998-C SUBI Certificateholders' Account becomes an Eligible
Account.
Pursuant to Section 4.02(j) of the 1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement, on
each Monthly Allocation Date the Servicer shall direct the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee in writing to cause the funds in the 1998-C SUBI Certificateholders'
Account to be invested in Permitted Investments bearing interest at the
applicable Required Rates, which are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes so long as
the TMCC Demand Notes are Permitted Investments. Such Permitted Investments
shall mature in such a manner that the amount required to be distributed on the
next succeeding Certificate Payment Date will be available on such next
succeeding Certificate Payment Date. If such investments mature prior to the
succeeding relevant Monthly Allocation Date, the Servicer
21
will direct the 1998-A Securitization Trustee to invest such amounts in
Permitted Investments that are not TMCC Demand Notes and that will mature on
the succeeding relevant Monthly Allocation Date, and the net investment
income with respect to such investments, but only such investments, will be
distributable to the Transferor on such succeeding relevant Monthly
Allocation Date. All amounts held in the 1998-C SUBI Certificateholders'
Account shall be invested by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in Permitted
Investments at the written direction of the Servicer until distributed or
otherwise applied in accordance with the 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, earnings (net of
investment losses) on the investment of funds deposited into the 1998-C SUBI
Certificateholders' Account in respect of the Class A-1 Notional Interest
Accrual Amount, any Class A-1 Swap Interest Carryover Shortfall Amounts, the
Class A-2 Notional Interest Accrual Amount, any Class A-2 Swap Interest
Carryover Shortfall Amounts, the Class A-3 Notional Interest Accrual Amount,
any Class A-3 Swap Interest Carryover Shortfall Amounts, the Class B Notional
Interest Accrual Amount and any Class B Swap Interest Shortfall Amount, shall
be part of Available Interest. Such net investment earnings need not be
withdrawn from the 1998-C SUBI Certificateholders' Account and redeposited as
Available Interest, but may be retained in the 1998-C SUBI
Certificateholders' Account and applied as provided in this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall
incur no liability relating to any investments made pursuant to this Section
3.02(a) absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance.
In the event that a Trust Officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
has actual knowledge that Standard & Poor's has downgraded TMCC's short-term
debt to a rating less than A-1+ or Standard & Poor's has downgraded TMCC's
long-term debt to a rating of less than AA, Xxxxx'x has downgraded TMCC's
short-term debt to a rating less than P-1 or Xxxxx'x downgrades TMCC's
long-term debt to a rating less than Aa3, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
shall determine whether (i) at such time one or more Permitted Investments
other than TMCC Demand Notes having substantially the same maturities and
similar demand features as the TMCC Demand Notes and bearing interest at the
relevant Required Rates are available and (ii) investment in such other
Permitted Investments rather than in TMCC Demand Notes will not cause a
Rating Agency to reduce or withdraw its rating of any Class of Investor
Certificates. In making such determinations, the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee shall be entitled to rely (as to clause (i)) on the advice of Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, or a nationally recognized firm of independent
accountants, and (as to clause (ii)) shall inquire directly of the Rating
Agencies based on the specific securities, if any, identified pursuant to the
foregoing. If the 1998-C Securitization Trustee concludes that both
conditions are satisfied, or a Trust Officer of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee has actual knowledge that a Swap Termination has occurred, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee will exercise its right under the Indenture to demand
payment in full of all outstanding TMCC Demand Notes.
(b) ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RESERVE FUND. The Transferor shall
establish and maintain with the 1998-C Securitization Trustee a separate
trust account to be known as the "Reserve Fund", which will include the money
and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and
this Section. Funds in the Reserve Fund shall be the property of the
Transferor and not the property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The
Transferor hereby grants to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee for the benefit
of the Investor Certificateholders a security interest in all
22
funds (including Permitted Investments) in the Reserve Fund (including the
Reserve Fund Initial Deposit) and the proceeds thereof, and the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under
the UCC with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of
funds in the Reserve Fund and the right to receive such income are retained
by the Transferor and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed to
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee hereunder. The Reserve Fund shall be an
Eligible Account and initially shall be established with the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee. If for any reason the Reserve Fund is no longer an
Eligible Account, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall promptly cause the
Reserve Fund to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that
the Reserve Fund becomes an Eligible Account.
All amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall be invested by the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.02(j) of the 1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement, in Permitted
Investments. Earnings on investment of funds in the Reserve Fund shall be
paid to the Transferor on each Monthly Allocation Date, subject to Section
3.01(h)(ii), and losses and any investment expenses shall be charged against
the funds on deposit therein. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall incur
no liability for the selection of investments or for losses thereon absent
its own negligence or willful misfeasance. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee
shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the
liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the
failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.
(c) RESERVE FUND SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY. The 1998-C
Securitization Trustee hereby confirms that (i) the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee is acting, with respect to its duties under this Section 3.02, as a
"securities intermediary" as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such
capacity, the "Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary"), (ii) has established
the Reserve Fund as a "securities account" as such term is defined in Section
8-501(a) of the UCC, (iii) the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary shall,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset
credited to the Reserve Fund, and (iv) all securities or other property
underlying any financial assets credited to the Reserve Fund shall be
registered in the name of the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, endorsed
to the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to
another securities account maintained in the name of the Reserve Fund
Securities Intermediary for the benefit of 1998-C Securitization Trustee and
in no case will any financial asset credited to the Reserve Fund be
registered in the name of any other person, payable to the order of any other
person, or specially endorsed to any other person, except to the extent the
foregoing have been specially endorsed by the Transferor to the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall incur no
liability relating to any investments made pursuant to this Section 3.02(c)
absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance.
(d) FINANCIAL ASSETS ELECTION. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee
hereby agrees that the Reserve Fund and each item of property (whether
investment property, financial asset, security or instrument), other than
cash, credited to the Reserve Fund shall be treated as a "financial asset"
within the meaning of Section 8-102(A)(9) of the UCC.
23
(e) ENTITLEMENT ORDERS. If at any time the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary shall receive an "entitlement order" (within the meaning of
Section 8-102(A)(8) of the UCC) issued by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
and relating to the Reserve Fund, the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary
shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by any other
person. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee hereby agrees only to issue
entitlement orders at the written direction of the Servicer. The Reserve
Fund Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation to act, and shall be
fully protected in refraining from acting, in respect of the financial assets
credited to the Reserve Fund in the absence of such an entitlement order.
(f) SUBORDINATION OF LIEN; WAIVER OF SET-OFF. In the event that
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee has or subsequently obtains a security
interest in the Reserve Fund or any security entitlement credited thereto by
agreement, operation of law or otherwise, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the
security interest of the Transferor. The financial assets and other items
deposited to the Reserve Fund will not be subject to deduction, set-off,
banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the
Transferor provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall have a lien senior to that
of the Transferor for any and all amounts required for the payment of the
purchase price of a financial asset, which purchase has been placed but not
yet cleared or settled. Any such deductions shall not be deemed to refer to
deductions for payment of the purchase price in securities transactions not
yet settled or cleared.
(g) CONFLICTING ORDERS. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee, in such
capacity, has not entered into and, until termination of this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any
other person relating to the Reserve Fund or any financial assets credited
thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such person. No financial
asset will be registered in the name of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, in
such capacity, payable to its order, or specially endorsed to it, except to
the extent such financial asset has been endorsed to the Reserve Fund
Securities Intermediary or in blank.
(h) DEPOSITS INTO THE RESERVE FUND. On or prior to the Closing
Date, the Transferor shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Fund
Initial Deposit into the Reserve Fund, of which amount $__________ shall be
allocated as the Class B Reserve Amount. Amounts on deposit in the Reserve
Fund shall be supplemented from time to time by the deposit therein of
amounts described in Section 3.01(c)(x), and under section 3.01(i); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such subsequent amounts shall be allocated to the Class B
Reserve Amount. On each Monthly Allocation Date the amounts on deposit in
the Reserve Fund shall be available for allocation and application or payment
as provided in Section 3.01; PROVIDED THAT, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.01, on each Certificate Payment Date, if the amount on deposit in
the Reserve Fund (after giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals
therefrom on such Monthly Allocation Date) is greater than the Specified
Reserve Fund Balance, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee will pay any such
excess amount to the Transferor as and to the extent described in Section
3.01, whereupon such excess amount shall no longer be available to the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders.
24
(i) PAYMENTS FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF TRUST. On each related
Stated Maturity Date and upon termination of the 1998-C Securitization Trust
pursuant to Section 7.01, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be
available for payment of any remaining amounts due on such date to reimburse
Maturity Advances or other unreimbursed Advances or pay accrued and unpaid
compensation payable to the Servicer through such date, for payment to the
Investor Certificateholders, and for payment of any remaining amounts due to
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee or the Titling Trustee. Upon termination
of the 1998-C Securitization Trust pursuant to Section 7.01, after payment of
such amounts due, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall
be paid to the Transferor. Upon termination of the 1998-C Securitization
Trust, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall release from the lien of this
1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement the Reserve Fund and any financial
assets held therein, and shall execute any requisite filing under the UCC as
provided by the Transferor to evidence such release and the release of any
security interest of the 1998-C Securitization Trust or the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee therein.
(j) The Securities Intermediary undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Section 3.02. The
Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, in such capacity, shall not have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Section
3.02 or be a trustee for or have any fiduciary obligation to any party hereto.
(k) The duties and obligations of the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary, in such capacity, shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Section 3.02, and the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary
shall take such action with respect to this Section 3.02 as it shall be
directed hereunder, and the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, in such
capacity, shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Section 3.02 and as
specifically directed by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Section 3.02 against the
Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary; and in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary 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 Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary which conform
to the requirements of this Section 3.02.
(l) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, in such capacity,
shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an
officer or officers of the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, acting as
such, unless it shall be determined that the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary, or any such officer or officers, was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts, or otherwise acted with negligence or willful
misfeasance, and the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary shall not be liable
with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with any direction of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee given
under this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement.
(m) None of these provisions of this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement shall require the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or
otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that
25
repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not assured to it.
(n) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary may conclusively rely
and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document actually
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.
(o) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this
Section 3.02, the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking
or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary shall be entitled to receive from the Transferor a certificate
of an officer thereof stating that the matter is established as fact and such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by one of the Trust Officers of the
1998-C Securitization Trustee and delivered to the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or willful
misfeasance on the part of the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary, shall be
full warrant to the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Section 3.02 on
the basis thereof.
(p) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary may consult with
counsel and the advice or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of
counsel.
(q) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
order, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document.
(r) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary shall have no
obligation to invest or reinvest any cash held in the Reserve Fund in the
absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee. In no event shall the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary be liable for the selection of investments or for investment
losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its
stated maturity or the failure of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee to
provide timely written investment direction.
(s) The Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary may at any time resign
by giving 30 days written notice of resignation to the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee and the Transferor. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor and, upon
the acceptance by the successor of such appointment, release the resigning
Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary from its obligations hereunder by
written instrument, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the resigning Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary and the successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed

xxx the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary for any action taken or omitted
under this Section 3.02 except to the extent caused by the Reserve Fund
Securities Intermediary's negligence or willful misfeasance. Anything in
this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
in no event shall the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary be liable for
special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Reserve Fund
Securities Intermediary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage (unless so advised prior to taking any such action) and regardless of
the form of action.
(u) The Servicer, in its capacity as such, shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents, from and against and
reimburse the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary for any and all claims,
expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person,
property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes,
actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's and agent's fees and expenses) directly or indirectly
relating to, or arising from, claims against the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated
by this Section 3.02, including without limitation all reasonable costs
required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and
reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses and court costs
except to the extent caused by the Reserve Fund Securities Intermediary's
negligence or willful misfeasance. The provisions of this Section 3.02(u)
shall survive the termination of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement
or the earlier resignation or removal of the Reserve Fund Securities
Intermediary.

minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof
and the Class B Certificates shall be issuable in minimum denominations of
$500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no
Class B Certificate may be issued or transferred in a denomination that would

(100) or more Class B Certificateholders); provided, however, that one Class A-1
Certificate, one Class A-2 Certificate, one Class A-3 Certificate and one Class
B Certificate may be issued in a denomination that includes any remaining
portion of the Initial Class A-1 Certificate Balance, the Initial Class A-2
Certificate Balance, the Initial Class A-3 Certificate Balance and the Initial
Class B Certificate Balance, respectively (each, a "Residual Certificate"). A
single Transferor Certificate shall be issued. The Certificates shall be
executed on behalf of the 1998-C Securitization Trust by manual or facsimile
signature of an officer or other authorized signatory of the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed,
authorized to sign on behalf of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall not be
rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Investor Certificates shall represent fractional undivided
interests in the 1998-C Securitization Trust, including the right to receive the
Investor Percentage of Interest Collections and Principal Collections and the
other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement. The Transferor Certificate shall represent the
interest in the 1998-C Securitization Trust not represented by the Investor
Certificates.
(c) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there

Trust Agreement, as the case may be, executed by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee or an authentication agent appointed for such purpose by the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature. Such certificate of
authentication upon any Certificate shall be the sole conclusive evidence that
such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered under this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee is hereby
authorized to appoint an authentication agent to execute any or all such
certificates of authentication on behalf of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee.

4.02 AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) In exchange for, and simultaneously with the sale, assignment and
transfer to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the 1998-C SUBI (exclusive of
all monies and payments due or payable under any Residual Value Insurance
Policies and the right to receive such amounts), the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and
the other assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, the 1998-C Securitization

Certificate, each duly authenticated by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee or any
authentication agent appointed thereby, and evidencing the entire ownership of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust.
4.03 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(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 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement; provided, however, that Bankers Trust Luxembourg
S.A. shall provide for transfers and exchanges of the Definitive Certificates,
if any. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee is hereby initially appointed
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as provided in this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the 1998-C
Securitization 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 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the
1998-C Securitization Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar under
this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement.
The Transferor Certificate shall be owned by the Transferor and may not
be transferred, as provided by Section 5.06.
(b) No transfer of the Class B Certificates shall be made unless such
resale or transfer is made (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement
under the Securities Act, (ii) in a transaction (other than a transaction in
clause (iv) below) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws, (iii) to the Transferor or
(iv) to a Person who the transferor of such Class B Certificate reasonably
believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A
under the Securities Act and that is aware that the resale or other transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A or to an institutional "accredited investor"
as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act (an
"Institutional Accredited Investor"). In the event that a transfer is to be
made as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the prospective
transferee shall deliver or cause to be delivered an Opinion of Counsel in form
and substance satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the
Transferor to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration
under the Securities Act or any
31
applicable state or foreign securities laws. In the event that a transfer is
to be made to an institutional accredited investor as described in clause
(iv), the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall require that the transferee
execute a representation letter acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee (provided that the form
attached as Exhibit E shall be deemed acceptable if it is completed in a
manner acceptable to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee) certifying to the
1998-C Securitization Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee, the Transferor or the Servicer. In the case of a transfer under
either clause (ii) or clause (iv), the Holder of a Class B Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Transferor and the Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made
in accordance with the Securities Act and such state and foreign securities
laws. Neither the Transferor, the Servicer nor the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee is under any obligation to register the Class B Certificates under
the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
Prospective purchasers of the Class B Certificates are hereby notified that
the seller of any Class B Certificates may be relying on the exemption from
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act provided by Rule 144A
under the Act.
The Class B Certificates or a beneficial interest therein may not be
transferred unless the 1998-C Securitization Trustee has received a certificate
to the effect that if the transferee is a partnership, grantor trust or S
corporation for federal income tax purposes (a "Flow-Through Entity"), any Class
B Certificates owned by such Flow-Through Entity will represent less than 50% of
the value of all the assets owned by such Flow-Through Entity and no special
allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit from such Class B
Certificates will be made among the beneficial owners of such Flow-Through
Entity.
Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, no Class B Certificate
or beneficial interest therein may be transferred to a transferee who is an
employee benefit plan, trust or account, subject to ERISA, or subject to Section
4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA
subject to any federal, state or local law which is, to a material extent,
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code and is not an entity,
including an insurance company separate account or an insurance company general
account if the assets in any such accounts constitute "Plan Assets" for the
purposes of regulation Section 2510.3101 of ERISA, whose underlying assets
include Benefit Plan assets by reason of a Benefit Plan's investment in the
entity. If any Paying Agent or a Trust Officer of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee has actual knowledge of any such transfer, such transfer shall be deemed
null and void. Unless the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall have received
either (a) a certificate from the transferee making the representations with
respect to such ERISA matters set forth in Exhibit D hereto or (b) an opinion of
counsel concerning such ERISA matters as set forth in Exhibit D hereto, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee shall not permit a transfer of Class B
Certificates to such transferee.
32
The Transferor shall, whenever the 1998-C Securitization Trust is not
subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available, upon
request, to any holder of such Class B Certificates in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of Class B Certificates from such holder
the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
In addition, no resale or other transfer of the Class B Certificates or
any interest therein shall be permitted unless immediately after giving effect
to such resale or other transfer, there would be fewer than 100 Class B
Certificateholders.
The Class B Certificates, this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement and
related documents may be amended or supplemented from time to time to modify
restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfer of such Class B
Certificates to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the
interpretation thereof) or practices relating to the resale or transfer of
restricted securities generally.
(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity
as Certificate Registrar, or at the office of the agent of the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee as Certificate Registrar, who shall initially be U.S.
Bank National Association located at One Illinois Center, 000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 and, with respect to the Definitive
Certificates, Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. for so long as any Class A
Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg and Stock Exchange, or the appropriate
office of any successor Certificate Registrar, the 1998-C Securitization Trust
shall execute, and the 1998-C Securitization 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.
(d) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to
be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the 1998-C Securitization Trust shall execute, and the
1998-C Securitization Trustee shall 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 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be imposed on any Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the 1998-C Securitization 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.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee.
No Class B Certificate shall be listed for trading on any recognized
securities exchange.
33
(e) Each purchaser of a Class B Certificate that does not deliver a
transfer certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto will be deemed to have
represented to and agreed with the parties hereto (or, in the case of
purchases by agents or fiduciaries acting for beneficial owners of an account
for which such agents or fiduciaries exercise complete investment discretion,

institutional buyer and it understands that such Class B Certificate may
be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person who the purchaser
reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer that purchases for
its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to

reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign

offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Class B

solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other
disposition of any Class B Certificate, any interest in any Class B
Certificate or any other similar security of the Transferor or the 1998-C
Securitization Trust with, any person in any manner, or made any general

Class B Certificates under the Securities Act or which would render the
disposition of any Class B
34
Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state
or foreign securities law, require registration or qualification pursuant
thereto, or require registration of the 1998-C Securitization Trust or

it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the

the transaction contemplated by the Private Placement Memorandum and to
obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy and
completeness of any information furnished to the purchaser or to which
the purchaser had access.
(x) The purchaser understands that the Class B Certificates

Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. with respect to the Definitive Certificates) and
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required

in the absence of notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee on behalf of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust shall execute and the 1998-C Securitization 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
Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under
35
this Section, the 1998-C Securitization 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. Any duplicate Certificate issued

of ownership in the 1998-C Securitization Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at
any time, and any such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall, upon
issuance of any such duplicate Certificate, be null, void and of no effect.
4.05 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the 1998-C Securitization 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 3.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any

Servicer, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written
request therefor from the Servicer, a list, in such form as the Servicer may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of
the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders or holders of
Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Percentage
Interests of any Class (hereinafter referred to as "Applicants") apply in
writing to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, and such application states that
the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement or

communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such Applicants access, during normal business hours,
to the current list of Investor Certificateholders. Every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Servicer and the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee that neither the Servicer nor the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

in the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates or the Class A-3

Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Certificate
Owners pursuant to Section 4.11:

as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners; to the extent
that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of
the Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control;
(iii) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through (or through procedures established by) the Clearing Agency and

book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive
and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates
to such Clearing Agency Participants; and
(iv) whenever this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement
requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or
directions of Holders of Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates
or Class A-3 Certificates evidencing a specified aggregate Percentage
Interest thereof the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such
percentage (if and to the extent that it will act on behalf of
Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants) 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 percentages of the beneficial interest in
Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates or Class A-3 Certificates
and has delivered such instructions to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee.

respect to any Class of Certificates, such notices will also be mailed to the
addresses of holders thereof at the addresses therefor as they appear in the
Certificate Register
38
maintained by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee prior to such mailing. Such

the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that
the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Following the
occurrence of any such event, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners of the occurrence thereof and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the Class A-1 Certificates,
the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates and deliver such Definitive Certificates in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Transferor, the Certificate
Registrar or the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall recognize the Holders
of the Definitive Certificates as Class A-1 Certificateholders, Class A-2
Certificateholders, Class A-3 Certificateholders and Class B
Certificateholders, as applicable. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall

Trust Luxembourg S.A. with instructions for the transfer of all or part
thereof to the proposed transferee thereof. The 1998-C Securitization
Trustee is hereby instructed to maintain a paying agent and transfer agent in
Luxembourg for so long as any Class A Certificates are listed on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require.

4.12 TAX TREATMENT.
(a) It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness of the
Transferor for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and
for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The
Transferor, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and each Holder of an Investor
Certificate (or Certificate Owner) by acceptance of its Investor Certificate
(or, in the case of a Certificate Owner, by virtue of such Certificate
Owner's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agree to treat the
Investor Certificates (or beneficial interest therein), for purposes of
federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed
on or measured by income, as secured indebtedness of the Transferor and to
report the transactions contemplated by this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such
treatment. Each Holder of an Investor Certificate agrees that it will cause
any Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Certificate through it to
comply with this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement as to treatment as
secured indebtedness for federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income.
Each Holder of an Investor Certificate also agrees that it will not be
entitled to any of the tax benefits related to the 1998-C Contracts and
1998-C Leased Vehicles, including any of the depreciation deductions
resulting therefrom.
(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions
and undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a), it is finally determined that
the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3
Certificates and/or the Class B Certificates do not evidence indebtedness of
the Transferor for all income and franchise tax purposes, but rather
represent an equity interest in the assets of the 1998-C Securitization
Trust, then the Transferor, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, each Holder of
such Investor Certificate and each Certificate Owner thereof, by virtue of
acquiring a beneficial interest therein, all agree (i) to treat such Investor
Certificates, together with the Transferor Certificate, as representing an
interest in a partnership for all tax purposes, (ii) to treat all payments in
respect of such Investor Certificates (to the extent not a return of capital)
as a "guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section 707(c) of the
Code, and (iii) to allocate all other items of income, gain, deduction, loss
or credit with respect to the assets and operations of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust to the Transferor.
4.13 ERISA MATTERS.
The Transferor shall cause the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2
Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates to be registered under Section
12(g) of the Exchange Act within 120 days after December 31, 1998, and, with
respect to each such Class of Class A Certificates, maintain such
registration until the Class Certificate Balance of such Class of Class A
Certificates (after giving effect to any reimbursements of Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocated thereto) is reduced to zero.

1998-C Leased Vehicle, or the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or
for or with respect to the efficacy of the 1998-C Securitization Trust or its

noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the
Transferor or the Servicer; or any action by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of its
obligation to perform its duties under this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee to perform its duties under this 1998-C Securitization
Trust Agreement or based on the 1998-C Securitization Trustee's willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim

any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the
1998-C Securitization Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as
provided in this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement. The 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Transferor 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 1998-C SUBI or 1998-C SUBI Certificate.

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

Securitization Trustee, either generally or particularly as provided herein.
Notice of any such event shall be given by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
to each Rating Agency.
6.10 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this 1998-C
Securitization Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust may at the time be located, the Transferor and the
1998-C Securitization Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act
jointly with the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, and

part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Transferor and the
1998-C Securitization Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Transferor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee alone
shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee under this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee pursuant to Section
6.06, and no notice of a successor Trustee shall be
52
required pursuant to Section 6.08 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant
to Section 6.08.
(b) 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 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall be conferred upon
and exercised or performed by the 1998-C Securitization 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 1998-C Securitization Trustee joining in such act), except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed, the 1998-C Securitization 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 1998-C Securitization 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 1998-C
Securitization Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
trustee under this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement; and
(iii) the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee acting
jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 1998-C
Securitization 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 1998-C Securitization Trust 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 1998-C
Securitization Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee. Each such
instrument shall be filed with the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and a copy
thereof given to the Transferor and the Servicer.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the
1998-C Securitization 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 1998-C Securitization Trust 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
1998-C Securitization Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement, the appointment of
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not
53
relieve the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of its obligations and duties under
this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement.

54
agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in
respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

Agreement, the Titling Trust Agreement and the 1998-C SUBI Servicing
Supplement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained

the TMCC Demand Notes), or exercising any trust or power conferred on the

cause any action to be taken under the Titling Trust Agreement or the 1998-C
SUBI Supplement by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity as a
transferee of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate, the greater Percentage Interest
shall prevail; (b) subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the 1998-C Securitization Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the
1998-C Securitization Trustee in good faith shall 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 (c) nothing in this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement
shall impair the right of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and which is not
inconsistent with such direction by the Certificateholders.

expiration, disposition or termination of the 1998-C SUBI; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in no event shall the trust created by this 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, late ambassador of the
United States of America to the Court of St. Xxxxx', living on the date of

upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee or, in the case of any Definitive Class A Certificates,
to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee or the Paying Agent in Luxembourg, for
payment of the final distribution and retirement of the Certificates, shall
56
be given promptly by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee (i) for so long as any

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) and (ii)

notice is given to Certificateholders.
(c) In the event such notice is given, in the case of an optional

date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the 1998-C
Securitization 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 any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
retirement, the 1998-C Securitization 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 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement. Any funds remaining in the
1998-C Securitization Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be
distributed by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee at the request of the
Transferor to the Transferor, and such remaining Certificateholders shall
look solely to the Transferor for such funds.
7.02 OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF 1998-C SUBI.
On each Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3 Targeted
Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any allocations,
applications or payments in respect of principal required to be made on such
Monthly Allocation Date, the Investor Balance shall be less

Investor Certificateholders' interest in the corpus of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust. To exercise such option, the Transferor shall notify
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the Servicer, in writing, no later than

ARTICLE VIII
ACCUMULATION EVENTS AND SWAP TERMINATIONS
8.01 ACCUMULATION EVENTS.
If an Accumulation Event or Swap Termination shall occur during the
Revolving Period, then (but in the case of any event described in
subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the definition of "Accumulation
Event" after any applicable grace period set forth in such clause), the
Revolving Period shall terminate and Principal Collections and reimbursed
Loss Amounts and Certificate Principal Loss Amounts will no longer be
reinvested in Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles.
8.02 SWAP TERMINATIONS, EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND TERMINATION EVENTS.
(a) Following the occurrence of a Swap Termination, the Transferor
shall promptly give notice to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of such Swap
Termination. Within 15 days of the receipt by the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee of the notice, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall publish a
notice in the Authorized Newspapers that a Swap Termination has occurred and
that the 1998-C Securitization Trustee intends to sell, dispose of or
otherwise liquidate the 1998-C SUBI, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and the
other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust in a
58
commercially reasonable manner. Following such publication, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law
from any such action, sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the 1998-C
SUBI, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate and the other property of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust, in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially
reasonable terms, which may, but are not required to, include the
solicitation of competitive bids, and shall proceed to consummate the sale,
liquidation or disposition thereof as provided above with the highest bidder.
The Transferor and the Servicer shall be permitted to bid for the 1998-C
Securitization Trust property. The 1998-C Securitization Trustee may obtain
a prior determination from the conservator, receiver, or trustee in
bankruptcy of the Transferor that the terms and manner of any proposed sale,
disposition or liquidation are commercially reasonable. The provisions of
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 shall not be deemed to be mutually exclusive.
(b) If a Trust Officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trust obtains
actual knowledge of an Event of Default or Termination Event (as such terms
are defined in the Swap Agreement), the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall
promptly publish and deliver notice to the Certificateholders as provided in
Section 4.10 of this 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement. In the case of
any Tax Event or Tax Event Upon Merger (as defined in the Swap Agreement),
such notice shall specify that unless the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
receives within 30 days of the date of publication of such notice the
direction of Holders of at least 51% of the Voting Interests of the Class A
Certificateholders (acting as a single Class) to elect to terminate the Swap
Agreement and liquidate the assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee shall not designate an Early Termination Date
(as defined in the Swap Agreement) and, accordingly, such event will not
constitute a Termination Event. In the case of notice of any other such
event as to which the 1998-C Securitization Trust has the option to
designate an Early Termination Date under the Swap Agreement, such notice
shall specify that unless otherwise directed by Holders of at least 51% of the
Voting Interests of the Class A Certificateholders (acting as a single Class)
within the time period specified in such notice (which time period shall be
not more than 30 days from the date such notice is published or delivered by
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee), the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, on
behalf of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, will elect to designate an Early
Termination Date under the Swap Agreement and thereafter to terminate the Swap
Agreement and liquidate the assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust. Upon
the occurrence of (i) any Event of Default under the Swap Agreement arising
from any action taken, or failure to act, by the Swap Counterparty of which a
Trust Officer or the 1998-C Securitization Trustee has actual knowledge, or (ii)
a Termination Event under the Swap Agreement of which a Trust Officer or the
1998-C Securitization Trustee has actual knowledge (except as described in the
following sentence) with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is an Affected
Party (as defined in the Swap Agreement), the 1998-C Securitization Trustee may
and will, at the direction of 51% of the Voting Interest of the
Certificateholders, by notice to the Swap Counterparty, designate an Early
Termination Date with respect to the Swap Agreement. If a Termination Event
under the Swap Agreement occurs (i) as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Transferor or (ii) because the Trust or the Transferor becomes subject
to registration as an "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act of
1940, the 1998C Securitization Trustee shall terminate the Swap Agreement.
If the 1998-C Securitization Trust or the Swap Counterparty elects to
designate an Early Termination Date and thereafter to terminate the Swap
Agreement and liquidate the assets of the
59
1998-C Securitization Trust, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee will specify
in a further notice to the Class A Certificateholders the date elected, and
shall also deliver such notice to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. As soon as
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee is reasonably able to do so, it will so
publish and deliver a further notice to each such party specifying the date
on which the net proceeds of such liquidation are to be allocated and applied
or paid pursuant to Section 3.01(o). In the event that a Swap Termination
Event occurs, whether because the 1998-C Securitization Trust elects to
designate or receives appropriate direction from the relevant
Certificateholders to designate an Early Termination Date, or because the
Swap Counterparty elects to designate an Early Termination Date, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of the SUBI, the
1998-C SUBI Certificate and such other property of the Trust in accordance
with Section 8.02(c).
(c) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the
1998-C SUBI Certificate and the 1998-C SUBI Assets evidenced thereby pursuant
to Section 8.02(a) or (b) above, shall be payable pursuant to the priorities
set forth in Section 3.01(o) above; PROVIDED, that the Servicer on behalf of
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee shall determine conclusively without
liability for such determination the amount of such proceeds which are
allocable to Interest Collections and the amount of such proceeds which are
allocable to Principal Collections. On the day following the Certificate
Payment Date on which such proceeds are distributed to the Investor
Certificateholders, the 1998-C Securitization Trust shall terminate.

such assignment to each Rating Agency.
9.08 CERTIFICATES NONASSESSABLE AND FULLY PAID.
Except as provided in Section 5.02 with regard to the Transferor,
Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the
1998-C Securitization Trust. The interests represented by the Certificates
shall be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust or for any reason whatsoever, and, upon the execution
and authentication thereof by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee pursuant to
Sections 4.02, 4.03 or 4.04, the Certificates are and shall be deemed fully
paid.
9.09 INVENTORY ADVANCES.
As set forth more fully in the 1998-C SUBI Servicing Supplement, the

the full amount thereof in connection with the liquidation of the related
1998-C Leased Vehicles. The 1998-A Securitization Trustee shall not accept
monies from the Servicer that the Servicer has identified or designated as
Inventory Advances in the related Statement to Certificateholders unless it
shall also have received the written representation of the Servicer that the
Servicer expects to recover the full amount thereof in connection with the
liquidation of the related 1998-C Leased Vehicles based on its estimation of
expected Liquidation Proceeds. In estimating the expected Liquidation
Proceeds, the Servicer shall take into account (a) the specific 1998-C Leased
Vehicles that are to be the subject of such Inventory Advance and (b) its own
recent actual experience with the liquidation of vehicles of comparable makes
and models, in each case on a basis consistent with the review and estimates
the Servicer prepares in establishing and revising its own servicing
guidelines.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a _____________
_____________________ DOLLARS ($___________________) nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in the Toyota Auto Lease Trust
1998-C (the "1998-C Securitization Trust") formed by Toyota Leasing, Inc., a
California corporation, as Transferor (the "Transferor"). The 1998-C
Securitization Trust was created pursuant to a 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the "Agreement"), between the
Transferor and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking
association, as trustee (the "1998-C Securitization Trustee"). A summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of the Agreement is set forth below. To
the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates issued under
the Agreement and designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable
Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-1" (the "Class A-1
Certificates"). Also issued under the Agreement are Certificates designated
as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class A-2" (the "Class A-2 Certificates"), Certificates
designated as "Toyota
A-1-1
Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates,
Class A-3" (the "Class A-3 Certificates" and, together with the Class A-1
Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates, the "Class A Certificates"),
Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate
Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class B" (the "Class B Certificates"
and, together with the Class A Certificates, the "Investor Certificates") and
a Certificate evidencing the Transferor Interest (the "Transferor
Certificate" and, together with the Investor Certificates, the
"Certificates"). The Class B Certificates are subordinated to the Class A
Certificates and the Transferor Certificate is subordinated to the Investor
Certificates to the extent described in the Agreement. This Class A-1
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class A-1
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
The property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust includes, among other
things, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate evidencing beneficial interests in the
assets of the 1998-C SUBI other than the proceeds of the Residual Value
Insurance Policies. The 1998-C SUBI represents a beneficial interest in a
pool of retail automobile and light duty truck lease contracts ("Contracts")
and the new and used automobiles and light duty trucks leased thereby
("Leased Vehicles") (such pool of Contracts and Leased Vehicles, the "1998-C
SUBI Portfolio") entered into by various automobile and light duty truck
dealers pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Titling Trust. Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation acts as servicer (in that capacity, the "Servicer")
of the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio. During the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections and amounts applied to reimburse Loss Amounts and Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI represented
by the 1998-C SUBI Certificate generally will be reinvested in Subsequent
Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles from among other unallocated
Contracts and Leased Vehicles owned by the Titling Trust. At the time of
reinvestment, such Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles will
be allocated to the 1998-C SUBI. Following the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI will be deposited in
the Certificateholders' Account and invested in Permitted Investments (which
are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes) maturing prior to the relevant Targeted
Maturity Date.
Payments in respect of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be allocated
between the Investor Certificates and the Transferor Certificate and paid to
the registered Holder of this Certificate as provided in the Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, interest payments in
respect of this Certificate shall be made quarterly on the 25th day of March,
June, September and December (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, each such day a "Certificate Payment Date"),
commencing on March 25, 1999, and through the Class A-1 Targeted Maturity
Date and thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate
Payment Date until the Adjusted Class A-1 Certificate Balance has been
reduced to zero. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Agreement,
no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-2 Certificates
until the Class A-1 Certificates have been paid in full, no principal
payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-3 Certificates until the
Class A-2 Certificates have been paid in full and no principal payments will
be made in respect of the Class B Certificates until the Class
A-1-2
A-3 Certificates have been paid in full. Except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, the principal of the Class A-1 Certificates shall be distributable
on the A-1 Targeted Maturity Date which shall be December 25, 2000 (or if
such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and
thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate Payment
Date until the Adjusted Class A-1 Certificate Balance has been reduced to
zero. In any event, any remaining unpaid principal of any Class A-1
Certificate shall be due and payable on December 25, 2002 (or if such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day).
On each Certificate Payment Date, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
shall pay or cause to be paid to the Person in whose name this Class A-1
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the calendar day
immediately preceding such Certificate Payment Date or, if Definitive
Certificates have been issued, the last Business Day of the immediately
preceding calendar month (the "Record Date"), amounts distributable as
interest on the Class A-1 Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, all to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the
Agreement. Payments of principal may be made earlier under certain
circumstances (in connection with the exercise of the Transferor of its right
to purchase the SUBI, described below, or the liquidation of the 1998-C SUBI
following a Swap Termination) or later (depending on payment, delinquency
and loss experience). Distributions on this Class A-1 Certificate will be
made by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee by check mailed to the Class A-1
Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the
presentation or surrender of this Class A-1 Certificate or the making of any
notation hereon except that with respect to Class A-1 Certificates registered
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Class A-1 Certificate will be made
after due notice by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-1
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee or at the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00
Xxxxxxxxx X.X. Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx).
It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes
of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Transferor, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee and the Holder of this Certificate (or Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of this Certificate (or, in the case of a Certificate
Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest herein) agree to treat the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interests therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness and to report the transactions contemplated by the Agreement on
all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. Each
Holder of an Investor Certificate also agrees that it will not be entitled to
any of the tax benefits related to the 1998-C Contracts and 1998-C Leased
Vehicles, including any of the depreciation deductions resulting therefrom.
In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and
undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a) of the Agreement and herein, it is
finally determined that the Class A-1 Certificates do not evidence
indebtedness of the Transferor for all income and franchise tax
A-1-3
purposes, but rather represent an equity interest in the assets of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust, then the Holder is deemed to agree (and each
Certificate Owner hereof with respect hereto by virtue of acquiring a
beneficial interest herein is deemed to agree): (i) to treat such
Certificates, together with the Transferor Certificate, as representing an
interest in a partnership for all tax purposes, (ii) to treat all payments in
respect of such Certificates (to the extent not a return of capital) as a
"guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code, and
(iii) to allocate all other items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit
with respect to the assets and operations of the 1998-C Securitization Trust
to the Transferor.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Transferor, the Servicer, the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates. The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the 1998-C SUBI Assets evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI
Certificate and certain monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and in certain
other accounts established for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each
case to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. By
accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate Owner
with respect hereto, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest herein) waives any claim to any proceeds or assets of the
Titling Trustee and to all of the Titling Trust Assets other than those from
time to time included in the 1998-C SUBI Sub-Trust (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate) and those proceeds or
assets derived from or earned by such 1998-C SUBI Assets (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate and the proceeds
therefrom). A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business
hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, at
the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00 Xxxxxxxxx X.X.
Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx) and at such other places, if any, designated by
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee without
the consent of any Certificateholders. In certain limited circumstances, the
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Interest of
all Investor Certificates, voting together as a single class. To be entitled
to vote in respect of an interest in the Class A-1 Certificates, a person
shall be a holder of record of such Class A-1 Certificates as shown on the
books of the Certificate Registrar on the last day of the preceding month, or
a person appointed by such holder by an instrument in writing. Any such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same
Class, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same or for register of transfer at
the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
A-1-4
in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or at the office of the agent of
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar,
who shall initially be U.S. Bank National Association, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx
Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, and, with respect to the Definitive Certificates only, a transfer agent
appointed in Luxembourg, or at the appropriate office of any successor
Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-1 Certificates
of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee. No service charge will
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
The Class A-1 Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
(except for one Class A-1 Certificate in a smaller minimum denomination
representing any remaining portion of the Initial Class A-1 Certificate
Balance).
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class
A-1 Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving distributions and for all other purposes, and neither the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
1998-C Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Investor Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The Transferor may at its option purchase
the corpus of the 1998-C Securitization Trust at a price specified in the
Agreement, and such purchase of the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such right of purchase is
exercisable only on the Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3
Targeted Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any
payments of principal required to be made on such Monthly Allocation Date,
the Investor Balance shall be less than or equal to [$______________] (ten
percent of the Aggregate Net Investment Value as of the Cutoff Date).
By accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate
Owner with respect hereto, by virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest
herein) covenants and agrees (and each Certificate Owner is deemed to agree)
that prior to the date which is one year and one day after the last date upon
which (a) each Class of Investor Certificates has been paid in full, and (b)
all obligations due under any other Securitized Financing have been paid in
full, the Holder (or Certificate Owner) will not institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against the Transferor, Toyota Motor Credit
Corporation, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the 1998-C
A-1-5
Securitization Trust, the Titling Trustee or the Titling Trust any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding
or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
The foregoing shall not limit the Holder's (or any Certificate Owner's) right
to file any claim in or otherwise take actions with respect to any such
proceeding instituted by any Person not under such a constraint. This
noncompetition covenant shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by manual
signature, this Class A-1 Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee on behalf of the

__________________ DOLLARS ($______________________) nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in the Toyota Auto Lease Trust
1998-C (the "1998-C Securitization Trust") formed by Toyota Leasing, Inc., a
California corporation, as Transferor (the "Transferor"). The 1998-C
Securitization Trust was created pursuant to a 1998-C Securitization Trust
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the "Agreement"), between the
Transferor and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking
association, as trustee (the "1998-C Securitization Trustee"). A summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of the Agreement is set forth below. To
the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates issued under
the Agreement and designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable
Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-2" (the "Class A-2
Certificates"). Also issued under the Agreement are Certificates designated
as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class A-1" (the "Class A-1 Certificates"), Certificates
designated as "Toyota
A-2-1
Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates,
Class A-3" (the "Class A-3 Certificates" and, together with the Class A-1
Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates, the "Class A Certificates"),
Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate
Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class B" (the "Class B Certificates"
and, together with the Class A Certificates, the "Investor Certificates") and
a Certificate evidencing the Transferor Interest (the "Transferor
Certificate" and, together with the Investor Certificates, the
"Certificates"). The Class B Certificates are subordinated to the Class A
Certificates and the Transferor Certificate is subordinated to the Investor
Certificates to the extent described in the Agreement. This Class A-2
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class A-2
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
The property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust includes, among other
things, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate evidencing beneficial interests in the
assets of the 1998-C SUBI other than the proceeds of the Residual Value
Insurance Policies. The 1998-C SUBI represents a beneficial interest in a
pool of retail automobile and light duty truck lease contracts ("Contracts")
and the new and used automobiles and light duty trucks leased thereby
("Leased Vehicles") (such pool of Contracts and Leased Vehicles, the "1998-C
SUBI Portfolio") entered into by various automobile and light duty truck
dealers pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Titling Trust. Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation acts as servicer (in that capacity, the "Servicer")
of the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio. During the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections and amounts applied to reimburse Loss Amounts and Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI represented
by the 1998-C SUBI Certificate generally will be reinvested in Subsequent
Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles from among other unallocated
Contracts and Leased Vehicles owned by the Titling Trust. At the time of
reinvestment, such Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles will
be allocated to the 1998-C SUBI. Following the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI will be deposited in
the Certificateholders' Account and invested in Permitted Investments (which
are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes) maturing prior to the relevant Targeted
Maturity Date.
Payments in respect of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be allocated
between the Investor Certificates and the Transferor Certificate and paid to
the registered Holder of this Certificate as provided in the Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, interest payments in
respect of this Certificate shall be made quarterly on the 25th day of March,
June, September and December (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, each such day a "Certificate Payment Date"),
commencing on March 25, 1999, and through the Class A-2 Targeted Maturity
Date and thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate
Payment Date until the Adjusted Class A-2 Certificate Balance has been
reduced to zero. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Agreement,
no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-2 Certificates
until the Class A-1 Certificates have been paid in full, no principal
payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-3 Certificates until the
Class A-2 Certificates have been paid in
A-2-2
full and no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class B
Certificates until the Class A-3 Certificates have been paid in full. Except
as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the principal of the Class A-2
Certificates shall be distributable on the Class A-2 Targeted Maturity Date
which shall be December 25, 2001 (or if such day is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day) and thereafter, if applicable, monthly on
each succeeding Certificate Payment Date until the Adjusted Class A-2
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. In any event, any remaining
unpaid principal of any Class A-2 Certificate shall be due and payable on
February 25, 2003 (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day).
On each Certificate Payment Date, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
shall pay or cause to be paid to the Person in whose name this Class A-2
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the calendar day
immediately preceding such Certificate Payment Date or, if Definitive
Certificates have been issued, the last Business Day of the immediately
preceding calendar month (the "Record Date"), amounts distributable as
interest on the Class A-2 Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, all to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the
Agreement. Payments of principal may be made earlier under certain
circumstances (in connection with the exercise of the Transferor of its right
to purchase the 1998-C SUBI, described below, or the liquidation of the SUBI
following a Swap Termination) or later (depending on payment, delinquency
and loss experience). Distributions on this Class A-2 Certificate will be
made by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee by check mailed to the Class A-2
Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the
presentation or surrender of this Class A-2 Certificate or the making of any
notation hereon except that with respect to Class A-2 Certificates registered
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Class A-2 Certificate will be made
after due notice by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-2
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee or at the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00
Xxxxxxxxx X.X. Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx).
It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes
of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Transferor, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee and the Holder of this Certificate (or Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of this Certificate (or, in the case of a Certificate
Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest herein) agree to treat the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interest therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness of the Transferor and to report the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such
treatment. Each Holder of an Investor Certificate also agrees that it will
not be entitled to any of the tax benefits related to the 1998-C Contracts
and 1998-C Leased Vehicles, including any of the depreciation deductions
resulting therefrom.
In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and
undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a) of the Agreement and herein, it is
finally determined that the Class A-2
A-2-3
Certificates do not evidence indebtedness of the Transferor for all income
and franchise tax purposes, but rather represent an equity interest in the
assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, then the Holder is deemed to agree
(and each Certificate Owner hereof with respect hereto by virtue of acquiring
a beneficial interest herein is deemed to agree): (i) to treat such
Certificates, together with the Transferor Certificate, as representing an
interest in a partnership for all tax purposes, (ii) to treat all payments in
respect of such Certificates (to the extent not a return of capital) as a
"guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code, and
(iii) to allocate all other items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit
with respect to the assets and operations of the 1998-C Securitization Trust
to the Transferor.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Transferor, the Servicer, the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates. The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the 1998-C SUBI Assets evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI
Certificate and certain monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and in certain
other accounts established for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each
case to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. By
accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate Owner
with respect hereto, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest herein) waives any claim to any proceeds or assets of the
Titling Trustee and to all of the Titling Trust Assets other than those from
time to time included in the 1998-C SUBI Sub-Trust (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate) and those proceeds or
assets derived from or earned by such 1998-C SUBI Assets (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate and the proceeds
therefrom). A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business
hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, at
the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00 Xxxxxxxxx X.X.
Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx) and at such other places, if any, designated by
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee without
the consent of any Certificateholders. In certain limited circumstances, the
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Interest of
all Investor Certificates, voting together as a single class. To be entitled
to vote in respect of an interest in the Class A-2 Certificates, a person
shall be a holder of record of such Class A-2 Certificates as shown on the
books of the Certificate Registrar on the last day of the preceding month, or
a person appointed by such holder by an instrument in writing. Any such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same
Class, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the
A-2-4
same or for register of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or at the
office of the agent of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity as
Certificate Registrar, U.S. Bank National Association, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx
Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, and, with respect to the Definitive Certificates only, a transfer agent
appointed in Luxembourg, or at the appropriate office of any successor
Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-2 Certificates
of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate fractional undivided
interest will be issued to the designated transferee. No service charge will
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
The Class A-2 Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
(except for one Class A-2 Certificate in a smaller minimum denomination
representing any remaining portion of the Initial Class A-2 Certificate
Balance).
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class
A-2 Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving distributions and for all other purposes, and neither the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
1998-C Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Investor Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The Transferor may at its option purchase
the corpus of the 1998-C Securitization Trust at a price specified in the
Agreement, and such purchase of the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such right of purchase is
exercisable only on the Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3
Targeted Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any
payments of principal required to be made on such Monthly Allocation Date,
the Investor Balance shall be less than or equal to $[ ] (ten
percent of the Aggregate Net Investment Value as of the Cutoff Date).
By accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate
Owner with respect hereto, by virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest
herein) covenants and agrees (and each Certificate Owner is deemed to agree)
that prior to the date which is one year and one day after the last date upon
which (a) each Class of Investor Certificates has been paid in full, and (b)
all obligations due under any other Securitized Financing have been paid in
full, the Holder and/or Certificate Owner will not institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against the
A-2-5
Transferor, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee, the 1988-B Securitization Trust, the Titling Trustee or the Titling
Trust any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law. The foregoing shall not limit the Holder's and/or Certificate
Owner's right to file any claim in or otherwise take actions with respect to
any such proceeding instituted by any Person not under such a constraint.
This non-petition covenant shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by manual
signature, this Class A-2 Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest

Trustee, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective
affiliates.
Initial Class A-3 Certificate Balance: CUSIP #____________

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a ____________
_____________________ DOLLARS ($______________) nonassessable, fully-paid,
fractional undivided interest in the Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C (the
"1998-C Securitization Trust") formed by Toyota Leasing, Inc., a California
corporation, as Transferor (the "Transferor"). The 1998-C Securitization
Trust was created pursuant to a 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement dated
as of December 1, 1998 (the "Agreement"), between the Transferor and U.S.
Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the
"1998-C Securitization Trustee"). A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Agreement is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
to them in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates issued under
the Agreement and designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable
Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-3" (the "Class A-3
Certificates"). Also issued under the Agreement are
A-3-1
Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate
Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-1" (the "Class A-1
Certificates"), Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C
Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-2" (the "Class
A-2 Certificates" and, together with the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class
A-3 Certificates, the "Class A Certificates"), Certificates designated as
"Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class B" (the "Class B Certificates" and, together with the
Class A Certificates, the "Investor Certificates") and a Certificate
evidencing the Transferor Interest (the "Transferor Certificate" and,
together with the Investor Certificates, the "Certificates"). The Class B
Certificates are subordinated to the Class A Certificates and the Transferor
Certificate is subordinated to the Investor Certificates to the extent
described in the Agreement. This Class A-3 Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Class A-3 Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust includes, among other
things, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate evidencing beneficial interests in the
assets of the 1998-C SUBI other than the proceeds of the Residual Value
Insurance Policies. The 1998-C SUBI represents a beneficial interest in a
pool of retail automobile and light duty truck lease contracts ("Contracts")
and the new and used automobiles and light duty trucks leased thereby
("Leased Vehicles") (such pool of Contracts and Leased Vehicles, the "1998-C
SUBI Portfolio") entered into by various automobile and light duty truck
dealers pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Titling Trust. Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation acts as servicer (in that capacity, the "Servicer")
of the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio. During the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections and amounts applied to reimburse Loss Amounts and Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI represented
by the 1998-C SUBI Certificate generally will be reinvested in Subsequent
Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles from among other unallocated
Contracts and Leased Vehicles owned by the Titling Trust. At the time of
reinvestment, such Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles will
be allocated to the 1998-C SUBI. Following the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI will be deposited in
the Certificateholders' Account and invested in Permitted Investments (which
are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes) maturing prior to the relevant Targeted
Maturity Date.
Payments in respect of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be allocated
between the Investor Certificates and the Transferor Certificate and paid to
the registered Holder of this Certificate as provided in the Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, interest payments in
respect of this Certificate shall be made quarterly on the 25th day of March,
June, September and December (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, each such day a "Certificate Payment Date"),
commencing on March 25, 1999, and through the Class A-3 Targeted Maturity
Date and thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate
Payment Date until the Adjusted Class A-3 Certificate Balance has been
reduced to zero. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Agreement, no
principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class X-0
X-0-0
Xxxxxxxxxxxx until the Class A-1 Certificates have been paid in full, and no
principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-3 Certificates
until the Class A-2 Certificates have been paid in full and no principal
payments shall be made in respect of the Class B Certificates until the Class
A-3 Certificates have been paid in full. Except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, the principal of the Class A-3 Certificates shall be distributable
on the Class A-3 Targeted Maturity Date which shall be March 25, 2002 (or if
such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and
thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate Payment
Date until the Adjusted Class A-3 Certificate Balance has been reduced to
zero. In any event, any remaining unpaid principal of any Class A-3
Certificate shall be due and payable on February 25, 2004 (or if such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day).
On each Certificate Payment Date, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee
shall pay or cause to be paid to the Person in whose name this Class A-3
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the calendar day
immediately preceding such Certificate Payment Date or, if Definitive
Certificates have been issued, the last Business Day of the immediately
preceding calendar month (the "Record Date"), amounts distributable as
interest on the Class A-3 Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, all to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the
Agreement. Payments of principal hereof may be made earlier under certain
circumstances (in connection with the exercise of the Transferor of its right
to purchase the 1998-C SUBI, described below, or the liquidation of the SUBI
following a Swap Termination) or later (depending on payment, delinquency
and loss experience). Distributions on this Class A-3 Certificate will be
made by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee by check mailed to the Class A-3
Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the
presentation or surrender of this Class A-3 Certificate or the making of any
notation hereon except that with respect to Class A-3 Certificates registered
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
distributions will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Class A-3 Certificate will be made
after due notice by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-3
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee or at the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00
Xxxxxxxxx X.X. Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx).
It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes
of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Transferor, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee and the Holder of this Certificate (or Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of this Certificate (or, in the case of a Certificate
Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest herein) agree to treat the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interest therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness of the Transferor and to report the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such
treatment. Each Holder of an Investor Certificate also agrees that it will
not be entitled to any of the tax benefits related to the 1998-C Contracts
and 1998-C Leased Vehicles, including any of the depreciation deductions
resulting therefrom.
A-3-3
In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and
undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a) of the Agreement and herein, it is
finally determined that the Class A-3 Certificates do not evidence
indebtedness of the Transferor for all income and franchise tax purposes, but
rather represent an equity interest in the assets of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust, then the Holder is deemed to agree (and each
Certificate Owner hereof with respect hereto by virtue of acquiring a
beneficial interest herein is deemed to agree): (i) to treat such
Certificates, together with the Transferor Certificate, as representing an
interest in a partnership for all tax purposes, (ii) to treat all payments in
respect of such Certificates (to the extent not a return of capital) as a
"guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code, and
(iii) to allocate all other items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit
with respect to the assets and operations of the 1998-C Securitization Trust
to the Transferor.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Transferor, the Servicer, the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates. The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the 1998-C SUBI Assets evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI
Certificate and certain monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and in certain
other accounts established for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each
case to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. By
accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate Owner
with respect hereto, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest herein) waives any claim to any proceeds or assets of the
Titling Trustee and to all of the Titling Trust Assets other than those from
time to time included in the 1998-C SUBI Sub-Trust (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate) and those proceeds or
assets derived from or earned by such 1998-C SUBI Assets (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate and the proceeds
therefrom). A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business
hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, at
the offices of Bankers Trust Luxembourg S.A. (initially at 00 Xxxxxxxxx X.X.
Xxxxxxxxx, X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx) and at such other places, if any, designated by
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee without
the consent of any Certificateholders. In certain limited circumstances, the
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Interest of
all Investor Certificates, voting together as a single class. To be entitled
to vote in respect of an interest in the Class A-3 Certificates, a person
shall be a holder of record of such Class A-3 Certificates as shown on the
books of the Certificate Registrar on the last day of the preceding month, or
a person appointed by such holder by an instrument in writing. Any such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
A-3-4
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same
Class, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same or for register of transfer in
the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or at the office of the
agent of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity as Certificate
Registrar, who shall initially be U.S. Bank National Association, 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City of New York, and with respect to the Definitive Certificates only, a
transfer agent appointed in Luxembourg, or at the appropriate office of any
successor Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-3
Certificates of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate fractional
undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee. No service
charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but
the 1998-C Securitization Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
The Class A-3 Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
(except for one Class A-3 Certificate in a smaller minimum denomination
representing any remaining portion of the Initial Class A-3 Certificate
Balance).
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class
A-3 Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving distributions and for all other purposes, and neither the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
1998-C Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Investor Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The Transferor may at its option purchase
the corpus of the 1998-C Securitization Trust at a price specified in the
Agreement, and such purchase of the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such right of purchase is
exercisable only on the Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3
Targeted Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any
payments of principal required to be made on such Monthly Allocation Date,
the Investor Balance shall be less than or equal to [$_________________] (ten
percent of the Aggregate Net Investment Value as of the Cutoff Date).
By accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate
Owner with respect hereto, by virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest
herein) covenants and agrees (and each
A-3-5
Certificate Owner is deemed to agree) that prior to the date which is one
year and one day after the last date upon which (a) each Class of Investor
Certificates has been paid in full, and (b) all obligations due under any
other Securitized Financing have been paid in full, the Holder and/or
Certificate Owner will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Transferor, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee, the 1998-C Securitization Trust, the Titling
Trustee or the Titling Trust any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law. The foregoing shall not limit the
Holder's and/or any Certificate Owner's right to file any claim in or
otherwise take actions with respect to any such proceeding instituted by any
Person not under such a constraint. This noncompetition covenant shall
survive the termination of the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by manual
signature, this Class A-3 Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
A-3-6
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee on behalf of the
1998-C Securitization Trust and not in its individual capacity has caused
this Class A-3 Certificate to be duly executed.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [_________] is the registered owner of _____________
($____________) nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in
the Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C (the "1998-C Securitization Trust") formed
by Toyota Leasing, Inc., a California corporation, as Transferor (the
"Transferor"). The 1998-C Securitization Trust was created pursuant to a
1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the
"Agreement"), between the Transferor and U.S. Bank National Association, a
national banking association, as trustee (the "1998-C Securitization
Trustee"). A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Agreement
is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Agreement.
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates issued under
the Agreement and designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable
Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class B" (the "Class B
Certificates"). Also issued under the Agreement are Certificates designated
as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class A-1" (the "Class A-1 Certificates"), Certificates
designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease
Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-2" (the "Class A-2 Certificates"),
Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate
Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-3" (the "Class A-3
Certificates" and, together with the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
Certificates, the "Class A Certificates" and, together with the Class B
Certificates, the "Investor Certificates") and a Certificate evidencing the
Transferor Interest (the "Transferor Certificate" and, together with the
Investor Certificates, the "Certificates"). The Class B Certificates are
subordinated to the Class A Certificates, and the Transferor Certificate is
subordinated to the Investor Certificates, to the extent described in the
Agreement. This Class B Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Class B Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents
and by which such Holder is bound.
B-1
The property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust includes, among
other things, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate evidencing beneficial interests in
the assets of the 1998-C SUBI other than the proceeds of the Residual Value
Insurance Policies. The 1998-C SUBI represents a beneficial interest in a
pool of retail automobile and light duty truck lease contracts ("Contracts")
and the new and used automobiles and light duty trucks leased thereby
("Leased Vehicles") (such pool of Contracts and Leased Vehicles, the "1998-C
SUBI Portfolio") entered into by various automobile and light duty truck
dealers pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Titling Trust. Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation acts as servicer (in that capacity, the "Servicer")
of the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio. During the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections and amounts applied to reimburse Loss Amounts and Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI represented
by the 1998-C SUBI Certificate generally will be reinvested in Subsequent
Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles from among other unallocated
Contracts and Leased Vehicles owned by the Titling Trust. At the time of
reinvestment, such Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles will
be allocated to the 1998-C SUBI. Following the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI will be deposited in
the Certificateholders' Account and invested in Permitted Investments (which
are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes) maturing prior to the relevant Targeted
Maturity Date.
Payments in respect of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be allocated
between the Investor Certificates and the Transferor Certificate and paid to
the registered Holder of this Certificate as provided in the Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, interest payments in
respect of this Certificate shall be made quarterly on the 25th day of March,
June, September and December (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, each such day a "Certificate Payment Date"),
commencing on March 25, 1999, and through the Class B Targeted Maturity Date
and thereafter, if applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate Payment
Date until the Adjusted Class B Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero.
Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Agreement, no principal
payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-2 Certificates until the
Class A-1 Certificates have been paid in full, and no principal payments
shall be made in respect of the Class A-3 Certificates until the Class A-2
Certificates have been paid in full and no principal payments shall be made
in respect of the Class B Certificates until the Class A-3 Certificates have
been paid in full. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the
principal of the Class B Certificates shall be distributable on the Class B
Targeted Maturity Date which shall be December 25, 2003 (or if such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and thereafter, if
applicable, monthly on each succeeding Certificate Payment Date until the
Adjusted Class B Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. In any event,
any remaining unpaid principal of any Class B Certificate shall be due and
payable on May 25, 2006 (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day).
Distributions on this Class B Certificate will be made by the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee by check mailed to the Class B Certificateholder of
record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of
this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation hereon or, at the
option of a Holder who owns Class B Certificates having an aggregate initial
denomination of $250,000 or more, upon written instructions received by the
1998-C Securitization Trustee not later
B-2
than fifteen days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder at a
depository institution in the United States having appropriate facilities
therefor. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding
the foregoing, the final distribution on this Class B Certificate will be
made after due notice by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee of the pendency of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization
Trustee.
It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes
of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The Transferor, the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee and the Holder of this Certificate (or Certificate
Owner) by acceptance of this Certificate (or, in the case of a Certificate
Owner, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest herein) agree to treat the Investor Certificates (or beneficial
interests therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or
franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as
indebtedness of the Transferor and to report the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such
treatment. Each Holder of an Investor Certificate also agrees that it will
not be entitled to any of the tax benefits related to the 1998-C Contracts
and 1998-C Leased Vehicles, including any of the depreciation deductions
resulting therefrom.
In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and
undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a) of the Agreement and herein, it is
finally determined that the Class B Certificates do not evidence indebtedness
of the Transferor for all income and franchise tax purposes, but rather
represent an equity interest in the assets of the 1998-C Securitization
Trust, then the Holder is deemed to agree (and each Certificate Owner by
virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest herein is deemed to agree) (i) to
treat such Certificates, together with the Transferor Certificate, as
representing an interest in a partnership for all tax purposes, (ii) to treat
all payments in respect of such Certificates (to the extent not a return of
capital) as a "guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section 707(c) of
the Code, and (iii) to allocate all other items of income, gain, deduction,
loss or credit with respect to the assets and operations of the 1998-C
Securitization Trust to the Transferor.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Transferor, the Servicer, the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates. The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the 1998-C SUBI Assets evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI
Certificate and certain monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and in certain
other accounts established for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each
case to the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. By
accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate Owner
with respect hereto, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest herein) waives any claim to any proceeds or assets of the
Titling Trustee and to all of the Titling Trust Assets other than those from
time to time included in the 1998-C SUBI Sub-Trust (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate) and those proceeds or
assets derived from or earned by such 1998-C SUBI Assets (except for those
evidenced by the 1998-C SUBI Insurance
B-3
Certificate and the proceeds therefrom). A copy of the Agreement may be
examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the
1998-C Securitization Trustee at the offices of Bankers Trust Company
Luxembourg S.A. in Luxembourg (initially at 00 Xxxxxxxxx X.X. Xxxxxxxxx,
X-000 Xxxxxxxxxx) and at such other places, if any, designated by the 1998-C
Securitization Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee without
the consent of any Certificateholders. In certain limited circumstances, the
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Interest of
all Investor Certificates, voting together as a single class. To be entitled
to vote in respect of an interest in the Class B Certificates, a person shall
be a holder of record of such Class B Certificates as shown on the books of
the Certificate Registrar on the last day of the preceding month, or a person
appointed by an instrument in writing. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class,
in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same or for register of transfer at
the Corporate Trust Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee in its
capacity as Certificate Registrar, or at the office of the agent of the
1998-C Securitization Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, who
shall initially be U.S. Bank National Association, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx
Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at the appropriate office of any
successor Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B
Certificates of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate fractional
undivided interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
The Class B Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof, (except for one Class B Certificate in a smaller minimum
denomination representing any remaining portion of the Initial Class B
Certificate Balance). As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class, of authorized denominations of a like
aggregate principal amount, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the 1998-C Securitization Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charges payable in connection
therewith.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of
transfer, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
any of their respective agents may treat the
B-4
Person in whose name this Class B Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes,
and neither the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
1998-C Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Investor Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The Transferor may at its option purchase
the corpus of the 1998-C Securitization Trust at a price specified in the
Agreement, and such purchase of the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such right of purchase is
exercisable only on the Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3
Targeted Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any
payments of principal required to be made on such Monthly Allocation Date,
the Investor Balance shall be less than or equal to [$_________________] (ten
percent of the Aggregate Net Investment Value as of the Cutoff Date).
By accepting this Certificate, the Holder hereof covenants and agrees
(and each Certificate Owner is deemed to agree) that prior to the date which
is one year and one day after the last date upon which (a) each Class of
Investor Certificates has been paid in full, and (b) all obligations due
under any other Securitized Financing have been paid in full, the Holder (or
Certificate Owner) will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Transferor, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee, the 1998-C Securitization Trust, the Titling
Trustee or the Titling Trust any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law. The foregoing shall not limit the
Holder's (or any Certificate Owner's) right to file any claim in or otherwise
take actions with respect to any such proceeding instituted by any Person not
under such a constraint. This non-petition covenant shall survive the
termination of the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by manual
signature, this Class B Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

TOYOTA AUTO LEASE TRUST 1998-C
AUTO LEASE ASSET BACKED TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATE
Evidencing the entire interest in the distributions allocable to
the Transferor Certificate, as defined below.
This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, Toyota Leasing, Inc., Toyota Motor Credit Corporation,
the Titling Trustee, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, or any of
their respective affiliates.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT TOYOTA LEASING, INC. (the "Transferor") is the
registered owner of the entire interest not allocated to the Investor
Certificates in the Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C (the "1998-C
Securitization Trust") formed by the Transferor. The 1998-C Securitization
Trust was created pursuant to a 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement dated
as of December 1, 1998 (the "Agreement"), between the Transferor and U.S.
Bank National Association, a national banking corporation, as trustee (the
"1998-C Securitization Trustee"). A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Agreement is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
to them in the Agreement.
This Certificate is the duly authorized Transferor Certificate issued
under the Agreement and designated as the "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C
Auto Lease Asset Backed Transferor Certificate" (the "Transferor
Certificate"). Also issued under the Agreement are Certificates designated
as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class A-1" (the "Class A-1 Certificates"), Certificates
designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease
Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-2" (the "Class A-2 Certificates"),
Certificates designated as "Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate
Auto Lease Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-3" (the "Class A-3
Certificates" and, together with the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
Certificates, the "Class A Certificates") and Certificates designated as
"Toyota Auto Lease Trust 1998-C Adjustable Rate Auto Lease Asset Backed
Certificates, Class B" (the "Class B Certificates" and, together with the
Class A Certificates, the "Investor Certificates" and, together with the
Transferor Certificate, the "Certificates"). This Transferor Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
C-1
and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this
Transferor Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
The property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust includes, among other
things, the 1998-C SUBI Certificate evidencing beneficial interests in the
assets of the 1998-C SUBI other than the proceeds of the Residual Value
Insurance Policies. The 1998-C SUBI represents a beneficial interest in a
pool of retail automobile and light duty truck lease contracts ("Contracts")
and the new and used automobiles and light duty trucks leased thereby
("Leased Vehicles") (such pool of Contracts and Leased Vehicles, the "1998-C
SUBI Portfolio") entered into by various automobile and light duty truck
dealers pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Titling Trust. Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation acts as servicer (in that capacity, the "Servicer")
of the 1998-C SUBI Portfolio. During the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections and amounts applied to reimburse Loss Amounts and Certificate
Principal Loss Amounts allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI represented
by the 1998-C SUBI Certificate generally will be reinvested in Subsequent
Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles from among other unallocated
Contracts and Leased Vehicles owned by the Titling Trust. At the time of
reinvestment, such Subsequent Contracts and Subsequent Leased Vehicles will
be allocated to the 1998-C SUBI. Following the Revolving Period, Principal
Collections allocable to the assets of the 1998-C SUBI will be deposited in
the Certificateholders' Account and invested in Permitted Investments (which
are expected to be TMCC Demand Notes) maturing prior to the Targeted Maturity
Date.
Payments in respect of the 1998-C SUBI Certificate will be allocated
between the Investor Certificates and this Transferor Certificate and paid to
the registered Holder of this Transferor Certificate as provided in the
Agreement.
It is the intention of the Transferor and the Investor
Certificateholders that the Investor Certificates will be indebtedness of the
Transferor for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and
for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income. The
Transferor, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee and the Holder of this
Certificate by acceptance of this Certificate agree to treat the Investor
Certificates (or beneficial interests therein), for purposes of federal,
state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or
measured by income, as secured indebtedness of the Transferor and to report
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement on all applicable tax returns
in a manner consistent with such treatment.
In the event that, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and
undertakings set forth in Section 4.12(a) of the Agreement and herein, it is
finally determined that the Certificates do not evidence indebtedness of the
Transferor for all income and franchise tax purposes, but rather represent an
equity interest in the assets of the 1998-C Securitization Trust, then the
Holder hereof, agrees (i) to treat such Certificate, together with the
Investor Certificates, as representing an interest in a partnership for all
tax purposes, (ii) to treat all payments in respect of such Certificates (to
the extent not a return of capital) as a "guaranteed payment" thereon made
pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code, and (iii) to allocate all other items
of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit with respect to the assets and
operations of the 1998-C Securitization Trust to the Transferor.
C-2
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Transferor, the Servicer, the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee, the
1998-C Securitization Trustee or any of their respective affiliates. The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate and certain
monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and in certain other accounts
established for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each case to the
extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. By accepting
this Certificate, the Holder hereof (and each Certificate Owner with respect
hereto, by virtue of such Certificate Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest herein) waives any claim to any proceeds or assets of the Titling
Trustee and to all of the Titling Trust Assets other than those from time to
time included in the 1998-C SUBI Sub-Trust (except for those evidenced by the
1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate) and those proceeds or assets derived from
or earned by such 1998-C SUBI Assets (except for those evidenced by the
1998-C SUBI Insurance Certificate and the proceeds therefrom). A copy of the
Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust
Office of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, and at such other places, if
any, designated by the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor and the 1998-C Securitization Trustee without
the consent of any Certificateholders. In certain limited circumstances, the
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Investor
Certificatesholders evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting
Interest of all Investor Certificates, voting together as a single class.
As provided in the Agreement, this Certificate shall be owned by the
Transferor and may not be transferred.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
1998-C Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to Investor Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the 1998-C Securitization Trust. The Transferor may at its option purchase
the corpus of the 1998-C Securitization Trust at a price specified in the
Agreement, and such purchase of the 1998-C SUBI and 1998-C SUBI Certificate
and other property of the 1998-C Securitization Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; provided, however, such right of purchase is
exercisable only on the Monthly Allocation Date on or after the Class A-3
Targeted Maturity Date, if either before or after giving effect to any
payment required to be made on such Monthly Allocation Date, the Certificate
Balance shall be less than or equal to [$_________________] (ten percent of
the Aggregate Net Investment Value as of the Cutoff Date).
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the 1998-C Securitization Trustee, by manual
signature, this Transferor Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
C-3
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the 1998-C Securitization Trustee on behalf of the
1998-C Securitization Trust and not in its individual capacity has caused
this Transferor Certificate to be duly executed.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

securitization trust agreement, dated as of [ ] (the
"Agreement") between Toyota Leasing, Inc. ("TLI") and [ ]

issued by and evidencing interests in the assets of Toyota Auto Lease Trust
1998-C (the "Trust").
In connection with the purchase of the Certificates, the Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to each of you as follows:
1. The Purchaser understands that the Certificates have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
or the securities law of any state or foreign jurisdiction.
2. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for its own
account only for investment and not for any other person, and not with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a
violation of the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws
(subject to the understanding that disposition of the Purchaser's property
will at all times be and remain
D-1
within its control). The Purchaser is not an affiliate of TLI, the Trustee or
any of their respective affiliates.
3. The Purchaser agrees that the Certificates must be held
indefinitely by it unless (i) the Certificates are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act is available.
4. The Purchaser agrees that if at some time it wishes to dispose
of or exchange any of the Certificates, it will not transfer or exchange any
of the Certificates unless such transfer or exchange is in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.03 of the Agreement.
5. The Purchaser is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in
Rule 144A of the Securities Act and has completed one of the forms of
certification to that effect attached as Annexes hereto, it is aware that the
sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, it is acquiring the
Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified
institutional buyer and it understands that such Certificates may be resold,
pledged or transferred by the Purchaser only (i) to a person who the

buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign
securities laws.
6. Neither the Purchaser nor anyone acting on its behalf has
offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security of the
Transferor to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or
other disposition of any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any
other similar security of TLI or the Trust with, any person in any manner, or
made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other
manner, or taken any other action, which would constitute a distribution of
the Certificates under the Securities Act or which would render the
disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act
or any state securities law, require registration or qualification pursuant
thereto, or require registration of the Trust or TLI as an "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, nor will it
act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act in such
manner with respect to the Certificates.
D-2

there any assurance that a market will develop, for the Certificates and that

circumstances.
8. The Purchaser has consulted with its own legal counsel,
independent accountants and financial advisors to the extent it deems
necessary regarding the tax consequences to it of ownership of the
Certificates, is aware that its taxable income with respect to the
Certificates in any accounting period may not correspond to the cash flow (if
any) from the Certificates for such period, and is not purchasing the
Certificates in reliance on any representations of TLI or its counsel with
respect to tax matters.
9. The Purchaser has reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum
with respect to the Certificates dated [ ], including the
Prospectus attached thereto as Exhibit A (the "Private Placement

accuracy and completeness of any information furnished to the Purchaser or to
which the Purchaser had access.

legends substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included as
Exhibit B to the Agreement.

purchase or holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in the
assets of the trust being deemed to be "Plan Assets" subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or prohibited transactions provisions of

prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 or Section 407 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee,
the Seller or the Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations

other similar security of the Transferor with, any person in any manner, or
made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other

thereto, or require registration of the Trust under the Investment Company
E-2
Act of 1940, as amended, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it
authorize any person to act in such manner with respect to the Certificates.
6. The Purchaser has reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum

or holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of
the trust being deemed to be "plan assets" subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or prohibited transactions provisions of

prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 or Section 407 of

legend substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included as an
Exhibit to the Agreement.

market (or to otherwise repurchase the Certificates from the Purchaser) under
any circumstances.

counsel with respect to tax matters.
11. The Purchaser represents, on behalf of itself that if the
Purchaser is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal income
tax purposes (a "Flow-Through Entity"), any Class B Certificates owned by or
on behalf of such Flow-Through Entity will represent less than 50% of the
value of all the assets owned by such Flow-Through Entity and no special
allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit from such Class B
Certificates will be made among the beneficial owners of such Flow-Through
Entity.
12. The Purchaser agrees that it will obtain from any subsequent
purchaser of the Certificates substantially the same representations,
warranties and agreements contained in the foregoing paragraphs I through 11
and in this paragraph 12.
