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 debt security bearing interest at a fixed rate, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the Reference Rate, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond TMCCs 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 Zero.
 
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 zero.
 
The Notes May Be Called At The Option Of TMCC, Which Limits Your Ability To Accrue Interest Over The Full Term Of The Notes.
 
TMCC may call all of the Notes for payment on any Call Date.  If TMCC calls the Notes, you will receive only the principal amount of your investment in the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest.  In this case, you will not have the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes.
 
The Levels of 6 Month USD LIBOR May Affect TMCCs Decision To Call The Notes.
 
It is more likely that TMCC will call the Notes prior to the Stated Maturity Date if the levels of 6 Month USD LIBOR result in interest accruing on the Notes at a rate greater than that which would be payable on a conventional, fixed-rate debt security of TMCC of comparable maturity.  If TMCC calls the Notes prior to the Stated Maturity Date, you may not be able to invest in other securities with a similar level of risk that yield as much interest as the Notes.
 
The Yield On The Notes May Be Lower Than The Yield On A Conventional Debt Security Of Comparable Maturity.
 
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.00% per annum with respect to any calendar day on which the Reference Rate is outside of the Reference Rate Range.  As a result, if the Reference Rate is outside of 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 that which would be payable on conventional, fixed-rate callable debt security of TMCC of comparable maturity.
 
The Reference Rate On The Fifth Business Day Preceding The Applicable Interest Payment Date (Or Maturity) Will Be The Rate For The Remainder Of That Interest Calculation Period.
 
Because the Reference Rate on the fifth Business Day 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 Business 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.

Changes In Inter-Bank Lending Rate Reporting Practices Or The Method Pursuant To Which The LIBOR Rates Are Determined May Adversely Affect The Value Of Your Notes.
 
Concerns have been expressed that some of the member banks recently surveyed by the British Banker’s Association (“BBA”) in connection with the calculation of daily LIBOR rates may have been under-reporting the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may result from reporting higher inter-bank lending rates.  If such under-reporting has occurred, it may have resulted in the LIBOR rate being artificially low.  If such under-reporting in fact exists and some or all of the member banks discontinue such practice, there may be a resulting sudden or prolonged upward movement in LIBOR rates.  In addition, the BBA recently announced that it will change the LIBOR rate-fixing process by increasing the number of banks surveyed to set a LIBOR rate.  The BBA also indicated that it will consider adding a second rate fixing process for U.S. dollar LIBOR after the U.S. market opening, after discussion with the member banks.  The BBA is continuing to consider ways to strengthen oversight of the process.  The changes announced by the BBA, or future changes adopted by the BBA, to the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase in the reported LIBOR rates.  As a result, the probability that the Reference Rate will be outside of the Reference Rate Range may increase, and therefore may also adversely affect the value of your Notes.
 
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
 
·  TMCCs 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 its 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.
 
Inclusion Of Commissions And Projected Profit From Hedging Is Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
 
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which the Agent is willing to purchase Notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the Issue Price, because the Issue Price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude the projected profit included in the cost of hedging the obligations under the Notes.  In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by the Agent, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
