Risk Factors
 
Investing in the Notes involves a number of risks.  An investment in range accrual notes such as the Notes entails significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional fixed rate debt security, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the Reference Rate, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond the Issuer’s control.  Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.
 
The Amount Of Interest Payable On The Notes Is Uncertain And Could Be 0.0%.
 
No interest will accrue on the Notes with respect to any calendar day on which the Reference Rate is outside the Reference Rate Range.  For every calendar day on which the Reference Rate is outside the Reference Rate Range, the effective interest rate for the applicable Interest Calculation Period will be reduced, and if the Reference Rate is outside the Reference Rate Range with respect to an entire Interest Calculation Period, the effective interest rate for that Interest Calculation Period will be 0.0%.
 
The Yield On The Notes May Be Lower Than The Yield On A Standard Debt Security Of Comparable Maturity.
 
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.0% per annum with respect to any calendar day on which the Reference Rate is outside the Reference Rate Range.  As a result, if the Reference Rate is outside the Reference Rate Range for a substantial number of calendar days during an Interest Calculation Period, the effective yield on the Notes for such Interest Calculation Period may be less than what would be payable on conventional, fixed-rate redeemable notes of the Issuer of comparable maturity.
 
The Reference Rate On The Fifth New York Business Day Preceding The Applicable Interest Payment Date (Or Maturity Date) Will Be The Rate For The Remainder Of That Interest Calculation Period; Provided That If Such Day Is Not A London Banking Day, Then The Reference Rate In Effect On The Immediately Preceding London Banking Day Shall So Apply.
 
Because the Reference Rate for the London Banking Day occurring on or immediately preceding the five New York Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date will be the Reference Rate for the remainder of the related Interest Calculation Period, if the Reference Rate for that London Banking Day is not within the Reference Rate Range, no interest will be paid on the Notes with respect to the remaining calendar days in that Interest Calculation Period, even if the Reference Rate on any of the subsequent remaining calendar days were actually within the Reference Rate Range.
 
The Price At Which The Notes May Be Resold Prior To Maturity Will Depend On A Number Of Factors And May Be Substantially Less Than The Amount For Which They Were Originally Purchased.  Some Of These Factors Include:
 
·  Changes in the level of the Reference Rate
 
·  Volatility of the Reference Rate
 
·  Changes in U.S. interest rates
 
·  Redemption feature
 
·  TMCC’s credit rating, financial condition and results
 
Historical Performance Of The Reference Rate Is Not An Indication Of Its Future Performance.
 
Historical performance of the Reference Rate should not be taken as an indication of the future performance during the term of the Notes.  Changes in the level of the Reference Rate will affect the trading price of the Notes, but it is impossible to predict whether such level will rise or fall.
