                      ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTE

Repayment Option

          The Note will be repayable by TMCC at the option of the Holder 
thereof in whole but not in part at a repayment price equal to the Market 
Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to but 
excluding the date of repayment. 

          The Holder, the Beneficial Owner of the Note or the Participant 
through which the Beneficial Owner owns its interest  shall have the right on 
any Business Day (as defined below) to request orally or in writing that TMCC 
provide a quote for the Market Price of the Note for that day. TMCC shall 
provide a written quote to the person or entity requesting the quote within 
one Business Day of TMCC's receipt of the request. The Holder shall have three 
Business Days after delivery of the quote to exercise its right to require 
TMCC to repay the Note at the Market Price contained in the quote by 
delivering written notice of such exercise to the Trustee. The Trustee shall 
provide written notice of such exercise to TMCC within one Business Day after 
receiving same from the Holder. The repayment shall occur on a Business Day 
specified by TMCC which shall be not more than three Business Days after 
delivery of the notice to TMCC. The Holder shall have no obligation to 
exercise the repayment option after receipt of the quote. However, exercise of 
the repayment option will be irrevocable. 

          The Note will be a Book-Entry Note represented by one Global 
Security. So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of 
the Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will 
be the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Note represented by the Global Security 
and only the Depositary may exercise the repayment option in respect of the 
Global Security representing the Book-Entry Note. However, the Beneficial 
Owner and the Participant through which it owns its interest shall have the 
right to request a Market Price quote. To exercise the repayment option, the 
Depositary must notify the Trustee in writing as outlined above. Accordingly, 
the Beneficial Owner of the Global Security that desires to have the 
Book-Entry Note represented by such Global Security repaid must instruct the 
Participant through which it owns its interest to direct the Depositary to 
exercise the repayment option on its behalf. To ensure that the Depositary 
receives notice from a Participant in time to deliver notice to the Trustee on 
a particular day, the Beneficial Owner must so instruct the Participant 
through which it owns its interest before such Participant's deadline for 
accepting instructions for that day. Different firms may have different 
deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, the 
Beneficial Owner should consult the Participant through which it owns its 
interest for the deadline for such Participant. All instructions given to a 
Participant from the Beneficial Owner of the Global Security relating to the 
option to elect repayment shall be irrevocable. In addition, at the time such 
instructions are given, the Beneficial Owner shall cause the Participant 
through which it owns its interest to transfer the Beneficial Owner's interest 
in the Global Security representing the related 
<PAGE>
Book-Entry Note on the Depositary's records to the Trustee. The requirement for
physical delivery of a Book-Entry Note in connection with a demand for
repayment will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Global
Security representing such Book-Entry Note are transferred by the Direct
Participant on the Depositary's records.

          The Beneficial Owner of the Global Security shall not be entitled to 
receive physical delivery of a Certificated Note, except in the limited 
circumstances described under "Description of Note -- Book-Entry Note" in the 
Prospectus Supplement. In such circumstances, the Holder of a Certificated 
Note shall exercise the repayment option by delivering the Note, together with 
the form thereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, to the 
Trustee at its office maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, 
The City of New York, currently the corporate trust office of the Trustee 
located at 4 Albany Street, New York, New York 10006 within the time        
Since the Holder has the right to require TMCC to repay the Note at the
Market Price, there is a possibility that the Note 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 a Holder 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 Holder will be deemed to exercise such option or 
combination of options in a manner that maximizes the yield on the debt 
instrument. Applying the foregoing rules, the Note is treated as if the Holder 
will not exercise the repayment option and the Note remains outstanding until 
the Stated Maturity Date. The Holder also has the right to convert the 
interest rate on the Note from a Fixed Rate of 6.50%
<PAGE>
to a floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.15%. Under the regulations'presumptions,
the Note is treated as if the Holder will also not exercise the right to
convert. If contrary to the presumptions in the regulations, the Holder does
exercise the right to convert, then solely for the purposes of accruing OID,
the Note will be treated as having been reissued at its face amount as of
such date bearing the floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.15%. Thus, amounts
payable with respect to the Note at the Fixed Rate, and if the right to
convert is exercised, at the floating rate will be includible in income by a 
U.S. Holder as ordinary interest at the time the interest payments are 
accrued or received in accordance with such U.S. Holder's regular method of 
tax accounting. An exercise by the Holder of the right to convert to a floating
rate will not be treated as a sale or exchange of the Note, but an exercise 
by the Holder of the right to repayment will trigger gain or loss measured by
the difference between the Holder's tax basis and the Market Price received
on repayment.
