('TCA'), as described below. 1. Reason for the Dissolution TCA was established in September 1998 as a subsidiary of TMC in order to promote the sales finance business in Argentina. Due to Argentina's currency crisis that occurred at the end of 2001, however, it became difficult to continue stable operating activities. In November 2004, Toyota Compania Financiera de Argentina S.A. ('TCFA'), a sales finance subsidiary with a banking license, was newly established. As the operating activities of TCA have already been transferred to TCFA and there are no anticipated effects of TCA's dissolution on the sales finance business in Argentina, TMC has decided to dissolve TCA. 2.

Location: 877 Moreno Street, 5th Floor C1091AAQ, Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA Date of Incorporation: September 1998 Representative: Eduardo Espinelli Contents of Business: Automobile sales finance Capital: 20 million Argentine pesos Shareholder Composition: Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation: 66.75% Toyota Motor Credit Corporation: 33.25% 3.
