ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTES
Redemption
The Notes are subject to redemption by TMCC, in whole but not in
part, on the Initial Redemption Date and on any Interest Payment Date
occurring in May or November thereafter subject to not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' prior notice.
Plan of Distribution
Under the terms of and subject to the conditions of a Distribution
Agreement dated as of October 17, 1991, as amended, (the "Agreement"), between
TMCC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill"),
Merrill, acting as principal, has agreed to purchase and TMCC has agreed to
sell the Notes at 98.75% of their principal amount. Merrill may resell the
Notes to one or more investors or to one or more broker-dealers (acting as
principal for the purpose of resale) at varying prices related to prevailing
market prices at the time of resale, as determined by Merrill.
Under the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement,
Merrill is committed to take and pay for all of the Notes offered hereby if
any are taken.
Certain U.S. Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax
consequences of ownership of the Notes. The summary concerns U.S. Holders (as
defined in the Prospectus Supplement) who hold the Notes as capital assets and
does not deal with 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 U.S. dollar or
persons who acquire, or for income tax purposes are deemed to have acquired,
the Notes in an exchange, or for property other than cash. The discussion
below is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and final,
temporary and proposed United States Treasury Regulations. Persons considering
the purchase of the Notes should consult with and rely solely upon their own
tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. 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.
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 Supplement.

U.S. Holders. Although there is a possibility that the Notes will
not be outstanding until the Stated Maturity Date, the general rule under the
regulations regarding OID is that in determining the yield and maturity of a
debt instrument that provides an issuer with an unconditional option or
options, exercisable on one or more dates during the term of the debt
instrument, that if exercised require payments to be made on the debt
instrument under an alternative schedule, the issuer will be deemed to
exercise such option or combination of options in a manner that minimizes the
yield on the debt instrument. Under the foregoing rules, the Notes are treated
as if they will not be redeemed by TMCC, and thus as if they were to remain
outstanding until the Stated Maturity Date. Under the foregoing principles,
the amount payable with respect to a Note at the Fixed Interest Rate should be
includible in income by a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest at the time the
interest payments are accrued or are received in accordance with such U.S.
Holder's regular method of tax accounting.
