ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     Toyota Leasing, Inc. ("TLI") and U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S.
Bank") have executed the Instrument of Amendment of the 1998-C Securitization
Trust Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2000 (the "Amendment"), in order to amend
the 1998-C Securitization Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1998, between
TLI, as transferor, and U.S. Bank, as trustee. The Amendment provides for an
increase in the Specified Reserve Fund Balance from $41,249,380.29 to
$70,761,437.00 and allows TLI to make a capital contribution to the Reserve
Fund.

     On May 25, 2000, TLI deposited $24,000,000 into the Reserve Fund of the
1998-C Securitization Trust to fund a portion of such increase. The remainder of
the increase will be funded from excess cash flows that TLI would have otherwise
received as holder of the transferor certificate.

     The Amendment is attached hereto as exhibit 20.
