                             ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTES

Interest Rate

            The interest rate payable with respect to the Medium-
Term Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement (the "Notes) for
the period from and including the Original Issue Date to but
excluding the first Interest Payment Date will be 5.60% per
annum.  The per annum interest rate payable with respect to the
Notes for each subsequent Interest Payment Date will be
calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                                 5.60% x (N/D)
                                       
where       N =   The actual number of Business Days in the period
                  from and including the second preceding Interest
                  Payment Date prior to such Interest Payment Date
                  (or from and including the Original Issue Date
                  with respect to the second Interest Payment Date)
                  to, but excluding, the preceding Interest Payment
                  Date prior to such Interest Payment Date, on which
                  the Index Spread for each such day was less than
                  the Cap Strike Percentage.

            D =   The actual number of Business Days in the period
                  from and including the second preceding Interest
                  Payment Date prior to such Interest Payment Date 
                  (or from and including the Original Issue Date
                  with respect to the second Interest Payment Date)
                  to, but excluding, the preceding Interest Payment
                  Date prior to such Interest Payment Date.

            Notwithstanding anything in the Prospectus or the
Prospectus Supplements to the contrary, interest payments on the
Notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and
including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of
which interest has been paid (or from and including the date of
issue, if no interest has been paid with respect to the Notes),
to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date.

            For purposes of the Notes, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

      "Index Spread" for any Business Day means the JPY Swap Rate
      for such day minus JPY LIBOR for such day.

       "JPY Swap Rate" for any Business Day means the mid-market
      quotation for the 3-year Japanese Yen Swap Rate, expressed
      as a percentage, as displayed on Telerate Page 42283 under
      the heading "MEAN" at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time)
      on that Business Day.  If such mid-market rate does not
      appear on Telerate Page 42283 at such time on a Business
      Day, "JPY Swap Rate" will mean the arithmetic mean (rounded
      to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point,
      with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
      upward) of all of the mid-market quotations for the 3-year
      Japanese Yen Swap Rate, expressed as a percentage, displayed
      on Telerate Page 17143 at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London
      time) on that Business Day.  If such rates do not appear on
      Telerate Page 17143 at such time on a Business Day, the
      Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices
      of each of three Reference Dealers (as defined below) to
      provide the Calculation Agent with its mid-market quotation
      for the 3-year Japanese Yen Swap Rate at approximately 12:00
      p.m. (London time) on the Business Day and in an amount that
      is representative of a single transaction for such Reference
      Dealer at such time.  In such case, "JPY Swap Rate" will be
      the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one hundred-
      thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths
      of a percentage point rounded upward) of each Reference
      Dealer's mid-market quotation. In the event the Calculation
      Agent is unable to obtain quotations from at least three
      Reference Dealers, the JPY Swap Rate will be determined by
      the Calculation Agent by such method as the Calculation
      Agent determines, in good faith, in its sole discretion.

      "Telerate Page 42283 means the display designated as Page
      42283 on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other page
      as may replace Page 42283 on that service or such other
      service as may be nominated as the information vendor for
      the purpose of displaying quotations for the 3-year Japanese
      Yen Swap Rate).

      "Telerate Page 17143" means the display designated as Page
      17143 on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other page
      as may replace Page 17143 on that service or such other
      service as may be nominated as the information vendor for
      the purpose of displaying quotations for the 3-year Japanese
      Yen Swap).
            
      "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as Page
      3750 on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other page
      as may replace Page 3750 on that service or such other
      service as may be nominated as the information vendor for
      the purpose of displaying quotations for 3-month JPY LIBOR).

      "Calculation Agent" means Sumitomo Bank Capital Markets,
      Inc.  In the absence of manifest error, the determination by
      the Calculation Agent of the interest payable on the Notes
      shall be final and binding on TMCC and the holders of the
      Notes.

      "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
      Sunday, that is a day on which commercial banks are
      generally open for business (including dealings in foreign
      exchange and foreign currency) in New York, New York,
      London, England and Tokyo, Japan.

      "Reference Dealer" means any major bank or banking
      corporation in London, selected in good faith by the
      Calculation Agent, which will provide mid-market quotations
      on the Japanese Yen Swap Rate or JYP LIBOR, as applicable.

      "Japanese Yen Swap Rate" means, in general, a mid-market
      fixed rate of interest that a hypothetical fixed-rate payor
      would be prepared to pay under a constant maturity interest-
      rate-swap or -exchange agreement, and for which such payor
      would expect to receive, in return, a floating rate of
      interest over a period of three years equal to the then-
      prevailing three-month Japanese Yen LIBOR determined on an
      Actual/365 day basis.

      "JPY LIBOR" for any Business Day means 3-month LIBOR for
      deposits in Yen, as displayed on Telerate Page 3750 at
      approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day. 
      If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 at such
      time on a Business Day, the Calculation Agent will request
      the principal London offices of each of three Reference
      Dealers to provide the Calculation Agent with the rates at
      which deposits in Yen are offered by the Reference Dealers
      to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period
      of three months at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
      such Business Day in an amount that is representative of a
      single transaction for such Reference Dealers at such time. 
      In such case, "JPY LIBOR" will be the arithmetic mean
      (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
      percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage
      point rounded upward) of each Reference Dealer's offered
      quotation.  In the event the Calculation Agent is unable to
      obtain quotations from at least two Reference Dealers, "JPY
      LIBOR" for such Business Day will be the arithmetic mean
      (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
      percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage
      point rounded upward) of the rates quoted by major banks in
      Tokyo, selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately
      11:00 a.m., Tokyo time on such Business Day for loans in Yen
      for a period of three months to leading European banks in an
      amount that is representative of a single transaction for
      such Reference Dealers at such time.
   
      "Cap Strike Percentage" means for any Business Day, the
      applicable percentage set forth in the following chart:
      
      








                           Cap Strike Percentage

Plan of Distribution

             Williams Financial Markets, a division of Jefferies &
Company, Inc. ("Williams"), acting as principal, has agreed to
purchase and TMCC has agreed to sell the Notes for resale from
time to time to one or more investors in one or more negotiated
transactions or otherwise at a price or prices to be determined
at the time of resale.

            Under the terms and conditions of the Distribution
Agreement, as supplemented by the terms of an Appointment
Agreement between Williams and TMCC, Williams is committed to
take and pay for all of the Notes offered hereby if any are
taken.

Certain United States Tax Considerations

            The following is a summary of the principal United
States federal income tax consequences of ownership of the Notes. 
The summary concerns initial U.S. Holders (as defined in the
Prospectus Supplements) who hold the Notes as capital assets and
does not deal with tax consequences to special classes of holders
such as dealers in securities or currencies, persons who hold the
Notes as a hedge against currency risks or who hedge any currency
risks of holding the Notes, tax-exempt investors or U.S. Holders
whose functional currency is other than the United States dollar. 
Prospective investors in the Notes should consult with and rely
solely upon their own tax advisors concerning the application of
United States federal income tax laws to their particular
situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of
any other domestic or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

            The discussion below is based upon the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and final, temporary and
proposed United States Treasury regulations, including final
Treasury regulations issued under the original issue discount
("OID") provisions of the Code (the "OID Regulations") published
in the Federal Register on February 2, 1994.  Although the OID
Regulations apply only to debt instruments issued on or after
April 4, 1994, they provide that taxpayers may rely on them for
debt instruments issued after December 21, 1992.

            Except where otherwise indicated below, this summary
supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, replaces the
discussion under the caption "United States Taxation" in the
Prospectus Supplements.

            U.S. Holders.  Coupon payments on the Notes are based
on a formula that is dependent on fluctuations in the JPY Swap
Rate and the JPY LIBOR Rate for each Business Day during the
relevant period, and effectively includes restrictions on the
maximum and minimum interest rates payable on the Notes.  Under
general principles of current United States federal income tax
law, interest payable on the Notes should be includible in income
by a U.S. Holder at the time the coupon payments are accrued
(i.e., determined) or received, in accordance with such Holder's
regular method of tax accounting.

            Under the OID Regulations, the Notes will not qualify
as "variable rate debt instruments," and therefore will be
treated as contingent payment debt obligations.  In 1986, the
Treasury Department issued proposed regulations (the "1986
Proposed Regulations") under the OID provisions of the Code
concerning contingent payment debt obligations.  Applying the
1986 Proposed Regulations to the Notes, since the amount payable
upon redemption of the Notes is equal to the issue price of the
Notes, the Notes will not be treated as having contingent
principal, nor as being issued with OID.  Moreover, the 1986
Proposed Regulations provide that a U.S. Holder must include the
interest in such Holder's gross income in the year the coupon
payments become fixed, regardless of such Holder's normal method
of accounting for tax purposes.

            There is no assurance that the 1986 Proposed
Regulations will be adopted, or if adopted, adopted in their
current form.  On January 19, 1993, the Treasury Department
issued proposed regulations (the "1993 Proposed Regulations")
concerning contingent payment debt obligations, which would have
replaced the 1986 Proposed Regulations.  However, on January 22,
1993, the United States Government's Office of Management and
Budget announced that certain proposed regulations which had not
yet been published in the Federal Register, including the 1993
Proposed Regulations, had been withdrawn.  It should be noted
that proposed Treasury regulations are not binding upon either
the Internal Revenue Service or taxpayers prior to becoming
effective as temporary or final regulations.  Accordingly,
prospective investors in the Notes are urged to consult their own
tax advisors regarding the application, if any, of the 1986
Proposed Regulations to the Notes and the effect of possible
changes to the 1986 Proposed Regulations.
