AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO THE
SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED AGENCY AGREEMENT
 
in respect of
 
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION’S
EURO MEDIUM-TERM NOTE PROGRAM
 
This Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 4, 2011, is made to the Sixth Amended and Restated Agency Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2006 (the “Agreement”), by and among Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the “Company”), The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London branch (the successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as Agent (the “Agent”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Luxembourg S.A. (the successor to J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A.), as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”), in respect of the Company’s Euro Medium-Term Note Program (the “Program”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Agreement and to amend Condition 10 (Negative Pledge) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes (the “Amendments”) attached to or incorporated by reference in each Series of Notes identified in Schedule I hereto (the “Affected Notes”).
 
WHEREAS, Clause 28 (Amendments: Meetings of Holders) of the Agreement and Condition 12 (Meetings, Modifications and Waivers) set forth in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes attached to or incorporated by reference in the Affected Notes provide, in part, that, subject to certain inapplicable exceptions, the Agreement and the Terms and Conditions of the Notes may be amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected by such amendment.
 
WHEREAS, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes outstanding affected by the Amendments have consented to the Amendments.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend the Agreement and to amend Condition 10 (Negative Pledge) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes attached to or incorporated by reference in the Affected Notes in its entirety as follows:
 
 “10.           Negative Pledge
 
So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding (as defined in Condition 12), TMCC will not create or permit to be outstanding any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other charge (each a “Security Interest”) (other than a Permitted Security Interest (as defined below)) for the benefit of the holders of any Relevant Indebtedness (as defined below) on the whole or any part of its property or assets, present or future, to secure any
 
 
 

 
 
Relevant Indebtedness issued or expressly guaranteed by TMCC or in respect of which TMCC has given any indemnity without in any such case at the same time according to the Notes the same security as is granted or is outstanding in respect of such Relevant Indebtedness or such guarantee or indemnity or such other security as shall be approved by the written consent of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected thereby, or by resolution adopted by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding present or represented at a meeting of the holders of the Notes affected thereby at which a quorum is present, as provided in the Agency Agreement; provided, however, that such covenant will not apply to Security Interests securing outstanding Relevant Indebtedness which does not in the aggregate at any one time exceed 20 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as defined below) of TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Condition 10:
 
“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items) after deducting therefrom all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles of TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries, all as set forth on the most recent balance sheet of TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as practiced in the United States;
 
“Relevant Indebtedness” shall mean any indebtedness in the form of or represented by bonds, notes, debentures or other securities which have a final maturity of more than a year from the date of their creation and which are admitted to trading on one or more stock exchanges;
 
“Permitted Security Interest” shall mean:
 
 
(i)
any Security Interest arising by operation of law or any right of set-off;
 
 
(ii)
any Security Interest granted by TMC in favor of a TMC subsidiary (as defined below) (while such beneficiary remains a TMC subsidiary) or by one TMC subsidiary in favor of another TMC subsidiary (while such beneficiary remains a TMC subsidiary);
 
 
(iii)
any Security Interest created in connection with, or pursuant to, a limited-recourse financing, securitization or other like arrangement where the payment obligations in respect of the indebtedness secured by the relevant Security Interest are to be discharged from the revenues generated by assets over which such Security Interest is created (including, without limitation, receivables); and
 
“TMC subsidiary” means any of TMC’s subsidiaries consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.”
