Section 1. Introductory. Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, a California corporation (“TMCC”), proposes to cause Toyota Auto Receivables 2020-C Owner Trust (the “Trust”) to issue $355,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.20159% Asset Backed Notes, Class A‑1 (the “Class A‑1 Notes”), $556,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.36% Asset Backed Notes, Class A‑2 (the “Class A‑2 Notes”), $516,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.44% Asset Backed Notes, Class A‑3 (the “Class A‑3 Notes”), $133,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.57% Asset Backed Notes, Class A‑4 (the “Class A‑4 Notes”, and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4
Notes, the “Class A Notes”) and $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the “Class B Notes” and together with the Class A‑1 Notes, the Class A‑2 Notes, the Class A‑3 Notes and the Class A‑4 Notes, the “Notes”) and non-interest bearing certificates that represent the residual interest in the Trust (the “Certificates”) of the Trust. Pursuant to the terms hereof, the Seller agrees to sell to each of the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”) a portion of each of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A‑2 Notes, the Class A‑3 Notes and the Class A‑4 Notes (the “Underwritten Notes”) in the respective amount listed on Schedule I hereto. The Seller will initially retain the Class B Notes, the Certificates and the portion of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes that are not Underwritten Notes. SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC will act as representatives for the Underwriters, and in such capacities shall herein be the “Representatives”. The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of retail installment sale contracts (the “Receivables”) secured by the new and used passenger cars, minivans, light-duty trucks and sport utility vehicles financed thereunder (the “Financed Vehicles”) and certain monies due or to become due thereunder after the close of business on May 31, 2020 (the “Cutoff Date”) and the other property and the proceeds thereof to be conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of July 27, 2020 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among the Trust, the Seller and TMCC. TMCC purchased the Receivables from certain Toyota and Lexus dealers. The Receivables and other assets of the Trust will be sold by TMCC to the Seller pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) to be dated as of July 27, 2020 between TMCC and the Seller. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will sell the Receivables to the Trust and TMCC will service the Receivables on behalf of the Trust. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture to be dated as of July 27, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Indenture Trustee”). TMCC has caused the Seller to form the Trust pursuant to a trust agreement, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) dated as of July 27, 2020, among the Seller, as depositor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). TMCC, as administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) will perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee imposed on them under the Basic Documents (as defined below) pursuant to an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) dated as of July 27, 2020 among the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator. The asset representations review will be performed by the Asset Representations Reviewer (as defined below) under an Asset Representations Review Agreement (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”) dated as of July 27, 2020 among Clayton Fixed Income Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”), the Trust, TMCC and the Administrator. As used herein, the term “Basic Documents” refers to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Asset Representations Review Agreement.
Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Underwriters, the Seller and TMCC hereby agree that the “Closing Date” shall be July 27, 2020, 10:00 A.M., New York City time (or at such other place and time not later than seven business days thereafter as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representatives, the Seller and TMCC).

This Underwriting Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as “this Agreement”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and, to the extent not defined therein, shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
Section 2. Representations and Warranties of the Seller and TMCC.
(a) Each of the Seller and TMCC, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that:
(i) A shelf registration statement on Form SF‑3 (Registration No. 333- 228027), including a form of prospectus, relating to the Notes has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 26, 2018, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on December 14, 2018 and the registration statement either (A) has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and is not proposed to be amended or (B) is proposed to be amended by amendment or post‑effective amendment. If the registration statement (the “initial registration statement”) has been declared effective, either (i) any additional registration statement (the “additional registration statement”) relating to the Notes has been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) (“Rule 462(b)”) under the Act and declared effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(b) and the Notes have been duly registered under the Act pursuant to the initial registration statement and such additional registration statement or (ii) any such additional registration statement proposed to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) will become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(b) and upon such filing the Notes will have been duly registered under the Act pursuant to the initial registration statement and such additional registration statement. If the Seller does not propose to amend the initial registration statement, any such additional registration statement or any post‑effective amendment to either such registration statement filed with the Commission prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, then the most recent amendment (if any) to such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act (“Rule 462(c)”) or Rule 462(b).
For purposes of this Agreement, “Effective Time” with respect to the initial registration statement or, if filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the additional registration statement means (A) if the Seller has advised the Representatives that it does not propose to amend such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post‑effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, were declared effective by the Commission or have become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) or (B) if the Seller has advised the Representatives that it proposes to file an amendment or post‑effective amendment to such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement as amended by such amendment or post‑effective amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. If the Seller has advised the Representatives that it proposes to file, but has not filed, an additional registration statement prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, “Effective Time” with respect to such additional registration statement means the date and time as of which such
3
registration statement is filed and becomes effective pursuant to Rule 462(b). “Effective Date” with respect to the initial registration statement or the additional registration statement (if any) means the date of the Effective Time thereof.
The initial registration statement, as amended at its Effective Time, including all information (A) contained in the additional registration statement (if any), (B) deemed to be a part of such initial registration statements as of the Effective Time of the additional registration statement (if any) pursuant to the General Instructions of the Form on which it is filed and (C) deemed to be a part of such initial registration statement as of its respective Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430D under the Act (“Rule 430D”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Registration Statement”. The additional registration statement, as amended at its Effective Time, including (A) the contents of such Initial Registration Statement incorporated by reference therein and (B) all information deemed to be a part of the additional registration statement as of its Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430D, is hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Registration Statement.” The Initial Registration Statement and the Additional Registration Statement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Registration Statements” and individually as a “Registration Statement.” The form of prospectus relating to the Notes, as first filed with the Commission in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act (“Rule 424(b)”) or, if no such filing is required, as included in a Registration Statement, including all material incorporated by reference in such prospectus, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”. Prior to 11:34 A.M. (Eastern Time, U.S.) on July 21, 2020 (i.e., the date and time the first Contract of Sale (as defined below) for the Underwritten Notes (the “Time of Sale”) was entered into as designated by the Representatives), the Seller had prepared (i) a preliminary prospectus, dated July 15, 2020 (subject to completion), filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Act (“Rule 424(h)”) not later than the third business day prior to the Effective Date and (ii) a free writing prospectus, dated July 15, 2020, and filed with the Commission on July 15, 2020 pursuant to Rule 433 (the “Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” and together with the Preliminary Prospectus (as defined below), the “Time of Sale Information”). As used herein, “Preliminary Prospectus” means, with respect to any date or time referred to herein, the most recent preliminary prospectus, filed in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Act (as amended or supplemented, if applicable), which has been prepared and delivered by the Seller to the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Any reference herein to “Registration Statement”, a Preliminary Prospectus or “Prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 10 of Form SF‑3, which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference; any reference in this Agreement to documents, financial statements and schedules and other information which
4
is “contained”, “included”, “stated”, “described” or “referred to” in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such documents, financial statements and schedules and other information, which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
(ii) (A) On the Effective Date of any Registration Statement whose Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement conformed, (B) on the date of this Agreement each such Registration Statement conforms and (C) on any related Effective Date subsequent to the date of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement will conform, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), and at such times did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At the time of the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) or, if no such filing is required, at the Effective Date of the Additional Registration Statement that includes the Prospectus, on the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date (as such term is defined in Section 1 hereof), the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and does not include, or will not include, any untrue statement of a material fact nor does the Prospectus omit, nor will it omit, any material fact, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Time of Sale Information, as of its date and at the Time of Sale, did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, and the road show presentation, dated July 2020 (the “Road Show”), when taken together with the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and, at the Closing Date, will not, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the three immediately preceding sentences shall not apply to (i) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information contained in or omitted from either the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Road Show based upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information (as defined in Section 7(a)) or (ii) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute a Statement of Qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”) on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”) of any Indenture Trustee. If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is subsequent to the date of this Agreement, no Additional Registration Statement has been or will be filed.
(iii) Other than the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the CDI Intex file, the Bloomberg Screen filed with the Commission as a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) on July 21, 2020 (the “Bloomberg Screen”), the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus, the Road Show and the Form ABS-15G furnished on EDGAR with respect to the Accountants Report (as defined herein), none of TMCC, the Seller, nor the Trust (including any such person’s agents and representatives other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to or will prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication”,
5
including any other “free writing prospectus” (both as defined in Rule 405 under the Act), that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy the Underwritten Notes. The Ratings Free Writing Prospectus shall contain a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 433(c)(2)(i) of the Act, and shall otherwise conform to any requirements for “free writing prospectuses” under the Act.
(iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Basic Documents, and the fulfillment of the terms thereof, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Seller or TMCC pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee, lease financing agreement or similar agreement or instrument under which the Seller or TMCC is a debtor or guarantor, except where such conflict, breach, default or creation could not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Seller’s or TMCC’s respective ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Basic Documents or the validity or enforceability thereof.
(v) No consent, approval, or order of, or filing with, any court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained or made by the Seller or TMCC for the consummation of the transactions in the manner contemplated by this Agreement except such as have been obtained and made under the Act or the Rules and Regulations, such as may be required under state securities laws and the filing of any financing statements required to perfect the transfer of the Receivables.
(vi) Neither the Seller nor TMCC is in violation of its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement or its articles of incorporation or bylaws, respectively, or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties are bound which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated herein or on the Seller’s or TMCC’s respective ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the issuance of the Notes and sale of the Underwritten Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Notes will not, subject to obtaining any consents or approvals as may be required under the securities laws of various jurisdictions in the United States and elsewhere, result in a breach or violation of (i) any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Seller or TMCC or any of their respective properties or any agreement or instrument to which the Seller or TMCC is a party or by which the Seller or TMCC is bound or to which any of their respective properties is subject in each case, except where such breach, violation or default could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Seller’s or TMCC’s ability to perform its obligations, under this Agreement or the Basic Documents or the validity or enforceability thereof, or (ii) the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Seller or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of TMCC, and each of the Seller and TMCC has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Basic Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
6
(vii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and TMCC.
(viii) The conditions to the use of a registration statement on Form SF-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the Registrant Requirements under General Instruction I.A., and the conditions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, have been satisfied with respect to the Registration Statement. The conditions to the offering of the Notes on Form SF-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the Transaction Requirements under General Instruction I.B., will be satisfied as of the Closing Date with respect to the Registration Statement. As of the date that is ninety days after March 31, 2020, the requirements of General Instruction I.A. of Form SF-3 relating to the annual compliance evaluation have been met. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission. The Seller has paid the registration fee for the Class A Notes in accordance with Rule 456 of the Act.
(ix) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than documents filed by Persons other than the Seller), when they became or become effective under the Act or were or are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(x) Neither TMCC nor the Seller has entered into, nor will TMCC or the Seller enter into, any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Underwritten Notes except for this Underwriting Agreement.
(xi) The Trust is not an “investment company” and is not required to be registered as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the Trust will be relying on an exclusion or exemption under the Investment Company Act contained in Rule 3(a)(7) under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Trust. The Trust is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such statutory provision, together with such implementing regulations, the “Volcker Rule”).
(xii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
(xiii) Since March 31, 2020 there has not occurred any material adverse change in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business or operations of the Seller or TMCC, and their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as disclosed to the Representatives prior to the date hereof.
7
(xiv) TMCC and the Seller acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes: (1) the Underwriters have acted at arms’ length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, TMCC, the Seller or any other Person, (2) the Underwriters owe TMCC and the Seller only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (3) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of TMCC and the Seller. TMCC and the Seller each waive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any claims either may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offer of the Underwritten Notes.
(xv) The Seller was not, on the date on which the first bona fide offer of the Underwritten Notes sold pursuant to this Agreement was made, an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
(xvi) TMCC has executed and delivered a written representation (each, a “17g-5 Representation”) to each nationally recognized statistical rating organization hired by TMCC to rate the Class A Notes (collectively, the “Hired NRSROs”), which satisfies the requirements of paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(A) through (E) of Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 17g-5”). TMCC has complied and has caused the Seller to comply, with the 17g‑5 Representations other than (A) any breach of the 17g-5 Representations that would not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or (B) any breach of the 17g-5 Representations arising from a breach by any of the Underwriters of the representation, warranty and covenant set forth in Section 11(a)(vii).
(xvii) Neither TMCC nor the Seller has engaged any third-party due diligence service providers to provide any “due diligence services” (as defined in Rule 17g‑10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than an independent accounting firm, and the only report generated as a result of such engagement is the Report of Independent Accountants on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures, dated July 10, 2020 (the “Accountants Report”), a copy of which was provided to the Representatives prior to the furnishing of such report on EDGAR. The Accountants Report is, as among the parties to this Agreement, deemed to have been obtained by TMCC pursuant to Rule 15Ga-2(a) and (b) under the Exchange Act. TMCC or the Seller will provide a copy of the final draft of the Form ABS-15G with respect to the Accountants Report to the Representatives at least one Business Day prior to furnishing such report or portion thereof on EDGAR. TMCC or the Seller has complied with Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to the Accountants Report, other than any breach resulting from a breach by any Underwriter of Section 4(f) of this Agreement, and no portion of the Accountants Report contains any names, addresses, other personal identifiers or zip codes with respect to any individuals, or any other personally identifiable or other information that would be associated with an individual, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.
(xviii) TMCC has complied, and on the Closing Date will comply, either directly or (to the extent permitted by the Risk Retention Rules) through a “majority-owned affiliate” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rules), with all requirements imposed on the “sponsor” of a “securitization transaction” (as each such term is defined in the Risk Retention Rules) in accordance with the provisions of the Risk Retention Rules in
8
connection with the securitization transaction contemplated by the Basic Documents. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, “Risk Retention Rules” means the requirements of the final rules contained in Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.1 et seq.
(b) As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Seller and of TMCC in each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party will be true and correct in all material respects in accordance with the terms of such Basic Document; provided, however, that with respect to representations made with respect to any Receivable, the sole remedy for any breach thereof is, as provided in the related agreement, the repurchase by either TMCC or the Seller, as the case may be, of such Receivable.
Section 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Notes. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Seller agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Seller the respective principal amounts of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule I hereto. The Underwritten Notes are to be purchased at a purchase price equal to (i) in the case of the Class A‑1 Notes, 99.95000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, (ii) in the case of the Class A‑2 Notes, 99.79658% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, (iii) in the case of the Class A‑3 Notes, 99.74230% of the aggregate principal amount thereof and (iv) in the case of the Class A‑4 Notes, 99.68545% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A‑2 Notes, the Class A‑3 Notes and the Class A‑4 Notes will initially be represented by four notes respectively representing $355,000,000, $556,000,000, $516,000,000 and $133,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) (the “DTC Notes”). The interests of beneficial owners of the DTC Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive notes evidencing the DTC Notes will be available only under the limited circumstances specified in the Basic Documents.
The Seller will deliver the DTC Notes to the Representatives for the respective securities accounts of the Underwriters at the office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, against payment to the Seller of the purchase price for the Underwritten Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds, on the Closing Date. The interests of beneficial owners of the Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. The certificates evidencing the DTC Notes will be made available for checking and packaging at the office of U.S. Bank National Association in the City of New York at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.
Section 4. Certain Agreements Concerning the Offering by the Underwriters.
(a) It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Underwritten Notes for sale to the public as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. If the Prospectus specifies an initial public offering price or a method by which the price at which such Underwritten Notes are to be sold, then after the Underwritten Notes are released for sale to the public, the Underwriters may vary from time to time the public offering price, selling concessions
9
and reallowances to dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and other terms of sale hereunder and under such selling arrangements.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Representatives shall notify TMCC and the Seller of (i) the date or dates on which the Preliminary Prospectus and the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus are first used and (ii) the time of the first Contract of Sale to which such Preliminary Prospectus relates.

(d) If the Seller, TMCC or an Underwriter determines or becomes aware that any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (including without limitation the Preliminary Prospectus) or oral statement (when considered in conjunction with all information conveyed at the time of the “contract of sale” within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act and all Commission guidance relating to such rule (the “Contract of Sale”)) made or prepared by the Seller or such Underwriter contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time that a Contract of Sale was entered into, either the Seller or such Underwriter may prepare corrective information, with notice to the other party and such Underwriter shall deliver such information in a manner reasonably acceptable to both parties, to any person with whom a Contract of Sale was entered into based on such written communication or oral statement, and such information shall provide any such person with the following:
(i) adequate disclosure of the contractual arrangement;
(ii) adequate disclosure of the person’s rights under the existing Contract of Sale at the time termination is sought;
(iii) adequate disclosure of the new information that is necessary to correct the misstatements or omissions in the information given at the time of the original Contract of Sale; and

(e) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees that it has not and will not violate any applicable securities laws, or other applicable law in its offer or sale of any of the Underwritten Notes within the United States or any other country or their respective territories or possessions.
10
(f) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that it has not engaged any third-party to provide “due diligence services” (as defined in Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act) with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood that an independent accounting firm has been engaged by TMCC for the purpose of providing the Accountants Report.
Section 5. Certain Agreements of the Seller and TMCC. The Seller (and TMCC with respect to clauses (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l) and (m) below), covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) The Seller will file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b). The Seller will advise the Representatives promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) or deemed effectiveness pursuant to Rule 462. If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and an Additional Registration Statement is necessary to register a portion of the Notes under the Act but the Effective Time thereof has not occurred as of such execution and delivery, the Seller will file the Additional Registration Statement or a post‑effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 462 on or prior to 10:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, on or prior to the time the Prospectus is printed and distributed to any Underwriter, or will make such filing at such later date as shall have been consented to by the Underwriter.
(b) The Seller will advise the Representatives promptly of: (i) any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement as filed, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and will not effect such amendment or supplement without first furnishing to the Representatives a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and obtaining the consent of the Representatives, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any amendment or supplement thereto or to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and (iv) the issuance by the Commission or, if the Seller has knowledge thereof, by any authority administering any state securities or blue sky laws of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and of the institution or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and the Seller will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting of any issued stop order.
(c) If, during the period in which the Prospectus is required by federal securities law or regulation (in the opinion of counsel for the Representative) to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Seller (in compliance with subsection (b)) will promptly notify the Representatives
11
and will promptly prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, that no such consent of the Representatives will be required to file an amendment or supplement under this Section 5(c) if the Seller receives an opinion of counsel that such amendment is required to comply with the Act. Neither any such filing nor the Representatives’ consent thereto shall operate as a waiver or limitation of any rights of the Underwriters hereunder.
(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), the Seller will cause the Trust to make generally available to the Noteholders an earnings statement with respect to the Trust covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement (or of any Additional Registration Statement) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Availability Date” means the 45th day after the end of the Seller’s fourth fiscal quarter following the Seller’s fiscal quarter that includes the date hereof, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Seller’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter.
(e) The Seller will furnish to the Representatives copies of each Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (in each case at least two of which will include all exhibits) and to the Underwriters, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Prospectus shall be so furnished no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the business day preceding the Closing Date. All other documents shall be furnished as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representatives reasonably request. The Seller will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
(f) The Seller will arrange for the qualification of the Underwritten Notes for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives may reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Underwritten Notes, provided that the Seller shall not be obligated to qualify to do business nor become subject to service of process generally, but only to the extent required for such qualification, in any jurisdiction in which it is not currently so qualified.
(g) So long as any of the Underwritten Notes are outstanding, the Seller or TMCC, as the case may be, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Representatives (i) copies of each report regarding the Underwritten Notes mailed to Noteholders pursuant to the Basic Documents, (ii) the annual statement as to compliance and the annual statement of a firm of independent public accountants furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Basic Documents (as amended), as soon as such statements are furnished to the Indenture Trustee, (iii) copies of all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any order of the Commission thereunder and (iv) such other information concerning the Seller, TMCC (relating to the Receivables, the servicing thereof or the ability of TMCC to act as Servicer), the Underwritten Notes or the Trust as
12
the Representatives may reasonably request from time to time; provided, however, that neither the Seller nor TMCC shall be obligated to provide copies of any of the foregoing items specified in this clause (g) if they are filed with the Commission on the Next – Generation EDGAR System (“EDGAR”) or otherwise available through a Commission website.
(h) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller and TMCC shall cause TMCC’s electronic files, which are maintained for the purpose of identifying retail installment sales contracts which have been transferred in connection with securitizations, to show the absolute ownership by the Trust of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date, none of the Seller or TMCC shall take any action inconsistent with the ownership by the Trust of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement or as required by law.
(i) The Seller and TMCC will pay all expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, (i) expenses incident to the printing, reproduction and distribution of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto), (ii) the fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and their counsel, (iii) the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Seller and TMCC and the independent public accountants of the Seller, (iv) the fees charged by each Hired NRSRO in connection with the rating of the Class A Notes, (v) the fees of DTC in connection with the book‑entry registration of the DTC Notes, (vi) expenses incident to the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes and (vii) expenses incurred in distributing the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters, and will reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses (excluding fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the qualification of the Underwritten Notes for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives may designate pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof and in connection with the preparation of any blue sky or legal investment survey, if any is required.
(j) For a period of 7 days from the date hereof, neither the Seller, TMCC nor any of their respective affiliates will, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or contract to sell or announce the offering of, in a public or private transaction, any other collateralized securities backed by auto loan receivables similar to the Underwritten Notes, other than the Class B Notes and the portion of each of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A‑2 Notes, the Class A‑3 Notes and the Class A‑4 Notes that are not Underwritten Notes and are initially retained by the Seller or one or more of its affiliates.
(k) To the extent if any, that the rating at the Closing Date provided with respect to the Class A Notes by any Hired NRSRO is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Seller or TMCC, the Seller or TMCC, as the case may be, shall furnish such documents and take any such other actions as may be required.
13
(l) As of the Closing Date, each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and TMCC.
(m) TMCC will comply, and will cause the Seller to comply, with each 17g-5 Representation.
(n) The Seller and TMCC will timely comply with all requirements of Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act.

Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Seller and TMCC will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several as incurred, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state laws or regulation, whether statutory, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the CDI Intex file or the Bloomberg Screen or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus, the Road Show, the Form ABS-15G furnished on EDGAR with respect to the Accountants Report or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Seller nor TMCC will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Seller or TMCC by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information in the Prospectus appearing in the first sentence in the second paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” on page 138, the second table under the heading “Underwriting” insofar as it describes the selling concessions and the reallowances (including footnote 2 thereto), and the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth paragraphs and the second sentence in the ninth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” which appear on pages 138 and 139 (the “Underwriters’ Information”).
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller and TMCC against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several as incurred, to which the Seller or TMCC, may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar
17
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Seller or TMCC by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by such Underwriter consists of such Underwriter’s Underwriters’ Information, and will reimburse the Seller and TMCC for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller and TMCC in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and TMCC against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Seller or TMCC may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (defined below) prepared by it, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any statement contained in each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (defined below) prepared by it that conflicts with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement that is a part thereof, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller or TMCC in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, no Underwriter will be liable to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any statement in or omission from each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (defined below) in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by the Seller or TMCC expressly for use therein, (B) information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Seller or TMCC to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (defined below) or (C) Issuer Information (as defined below) (except for information regarding the status of the subscriptions for the Underwritten Notes).
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified
18
party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails to appoint such counsel as provided in the previous sentence under this Section. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of any litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not contain a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party (unless such statement is agreed to by the indemnified party in writing); the provisions of this Section with respect to indemnification shall continue and survive.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller and TMCC on the one hand and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Underwritten Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Seller and TMCC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Seller and TMCC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Seller and TMCC bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Seller or TMCC or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
19
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the Underwritten Notes underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Seller and TMCC under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the Seller or TMCC may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and to each of their respective officers, directors and employees; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Seller or TMCC, to each officer of the Seller or TMCC who has signed any Registration Statement, to each person, if any, who controls the Seller or TMCC within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and to each of their respective officers, directors and employees.
Section 8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Underwritten Notes hereunder and (i) the aggregate principal amount of Class A‑1 Notes (in the case of the Class A‑1 Underwriters) as set forth on Schedule I that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Class A‑1 Notes, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Class A‑2 Notes (in the case of the Class A‑2 Underwriters) as set forth on Schedule I that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Class A‑2 Notes, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Class A‑3 Notes (in the case of the Class A‑3 Underwriters) as set forth on Schedule I that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Class A‑3 Notes and (iv) the aggregate principal amount of the Class A‑4 Notes (in the case of the Class A‑4 Underwriters) as set forth on Schedule I that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Class A‑4 Notes, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Seller and TMCC for the purchase of such Class A-1 Notes, Class A‑2 Notes, Class A‑3 Notes or Class A‑4 Notes, as the case may be, by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Class A‑1 Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class A‑1 Notes, the non-defaulting Class A‑2 Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class A‑2 Notes, the non-defaulting Class A‑3 Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class A‑3 Notes and the non-defaulting Class A‑4 Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class A‑4 Notes, in each case that such defaulting Underwriters agreed
20
but failed to purchase. If any such default or defaults occur and such default or defaults exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A‑2 Notes, the Class A‑3 Notes or the Class A‑4 Notes, as the case may be, and arrangements satisfactory to the Seller and TMCC for the purchase of such Underwritten Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter, the Seller or TMCC, except as provided in Section 9 hereof. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
Section 9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Seller and TMCC or their respective officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Seller, TMCC or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof or if for any reason the purchase of the Underwritten Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller and TMCC shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Seller and TMCC pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof and the respective obligations of the Seller, TMCC and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Underwritten Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 6(c) hereof, the Seller and TMCC will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes.
Section 10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the sole discretion of the Underwriters by notice to Seller and TMCC given on or prior to the Closing Date, if at or prior to the Closing Date any of the events described in Section 6(c) shall have occurred; provided that the obligations of the Seller, TMCC and the Underwriters (solely with respect to Section 7) in Sections 5(i), 7 and 9 shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 11. Offering Communications.
