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 Depository or its nominee is the registered owner of
the Global Security, the Depository 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 Depository 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
Depository 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 Depository to
exercise the repayment option on its behalf. To ensure that the Depository
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
<PAGE>
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 Book-Entry Note on the
Depository'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 Depository'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 the Notes -- Book-Entry Notes"
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 specified above. Exercise of such repayment option by the
Holder of a Note will be irrevocable.
All notices from or to the Holder, the Trustee or TMCC in connection
with the repayment of the Note may be delivered in electronic form or by
facsimile. Oral or written requests for Market Price quotes should be directed
to the TMCC Treasury Department.
For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
"Market Price" shall mean the market price for the Note as
determined by TMCC in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised.
"Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday,
that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the
City of New York.
"Beneficial Owner", "Participant" and "Direct Participant" shall
have the meanings set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under "Description of
the Notes -- Book-Entry Notes".
Conversion to Floating Rate Note
The Holder shall have the right to convert the interest rate on the
Note from a Fixed Rate of 7.09% to a floating rate of LIBOR (Telerate Page
3750) plus 0.15%. The principal amount of the Note shall remain the same. The
<PAGE>
Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars and the Index Maturity shall be three
months. If the Note is converted, the initial floating rate Interest Rate
shall be determined on the second London Business Day (as defined below)
preceding the Conversion Date (as defined below). After conversion, the
Interest Payment Dates shall be changed from semiannual to quarterly payments
and shall occur on each January 27, April 27, July 27 and October 27 of each
year commencing on the first such date following the Conversion Date. The
Interest Reset Dates shall be the same as the Interest Payment Dates. The Day
Count Convention shall be changed to Actual/360 for the period from and
including the Conversion Date to Maturity. Merrill Lynch Capital Services,
Inc. will be the Calculation Agent for the Note. The exercise of the option to
convert the Note into a Floating Rate Note will be irrevocable. The Holder
shall have no further option to convert the Note into a Fixed Rate Note. For
purposes of this Note, "London Business Day" shall mean a day other than a
Saturday or Sunday on which commercial banks are open for business, including
dealings in U.S. dollars in London.
The Holder shall exercise the option to convert the Note into a
Floating Rate Note by delivering written notice of exercise to the Trustee.
The Trustee shall provide a copy of the notice to TMCC. If the Trustee
receives notice on or between the first and tenth day of a calendar month, the
"Conversion Date" shall be the 27th day of the calendar month in which the
notice is received. If the Trustee receives notice on or after the 11th day of
a calendar month, the "Conversion Date" shall be the 27th day of the calendar
month immediately following the month in which the notice is received.
Interest shall accrue on the Note at the Fixed Rate to but excluding the
Conversion Date. Interest shall begin to accrue at the Floating Rate on the
Conversion Date to but excluding Maturity.
Only the Depository may exercise the option to convert the Note into
a Floating Rate Note as long as the Note is held as a Global Security
representing the Book-Entry Note. To exercise the conversion option, the
Depository 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 converted into a Floating
Rate Note must instruct the Participant through which it owns its interest to
direct the Depository to exercise the conversion option on its behalf. To
ensure that the Depository 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 conversion shall be irrevocable.
<PAGE>
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 the Notes -- Book-Entry Notes"
in the Prospectus Supplement. In such circumstances, the Holder of a
Certificated Note shall exercise the conversion option by delivering written
notice 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
times specified above. Exercise of such conversion option by the Holder of a
Note will be irrevocable.
All notices from or to the Holder, the Trustee or TMCC in connection
with the conversion of the Note may be delivered in electronic form or by
facsimile.
Minimum Denomination
The Note shall have a minimum denomination of $200,000.
Plan of Distribution
Under the terms of and subject to the conditions of a terms
agreement under the First Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated
September 3, 1998 between TMCC and Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill"), Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers
Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and
Salomon Smith Barney Inc., as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto,
dated January 12, 2000(as amended, the "Agreement"), Merrill, acting as
principal, has agreed to purchase and TMCC has agreed to sell the Note at 100%
of the principal amount thereof. Merrill proposes to offer the Note at an
public offering price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Merrill is
committed to take and pay for the entire Note offered hereby.
Certain U.S. Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax
consequences of ownership of the Note. The summary concerns a U.S. Holder (as
defined in the Prospectus Supplement) who holds the Note as a capital asset
and does not deal with special classes of holders such as dealers in
securities or currencies, persons who hold the Note as a hedge against
currency risks or who hedge any currency risks of holding the Note, tax-exempt
<PAGE>
investors, or a U.S. Holder 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 Note 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 Note 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. Holder
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 7.09% 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.
