PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.

Legal Proceedings.

AsThe ~~previously~~following ~~disclosed~~3 byparagraphs ~~Toyota~~are ~~Motor~~disclosures ~~Credit~~received Corporation (“TMCC”), the sponsor and servicer, on February 2, 2016, TMCC reached a settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Department of Justice (collectively, the “Agencies”) related to the Agencies’ previously disclosed investigation of, and allegations regarding, discretionary dealer compensation practices related to its purchases of auto finance contracts from ~~dealers.~~Deutsche ~~TMCC~~Bank ~~entered~~Trust ~~into a consent order with each of the Agencies to reflect such settlement~~Company ~~(collectively,~~Americas ~~the~~ (“~~Consent Orders~~DBTCA”)~~. Pursuant to the Consent Orders~~, ~~TMCC~~which ~~agreed~~serves toas ~~pay an amount in consumer restitution that is not material to TMCC’s financial condition or results of operations and within~~ the ~~amount~~indenture ~~TMCC~~trustee ~~had previously~~under recorded as a loss contingency. Additionally, TMCC agreed to implement a new dealer compensation policy within 180 days of February 2, 2016, which, includes, among other things, limits on dealer participation caps of 125 basis points (1.25%) for contracts of 60 months or less and 100 basis points (1.00%) for contracts with longer terms. In connection with the ~~implementation~~indenture of such policy, TMCC also agreed to maintain general compliance management systems reasonably designed to assure compliance with all relevant federal consumer financial laws. TMCC has also received a request for ~~documents and information from~~ the ~~New~~Toyota ~~York~~Auto ~~State~~Receivables ~~Department~~2012-B ofOwner ~~Financial~~Trust ~~Services relating to its lending practices (including fair lending), and TMCC is fully cooperating with this request~~transaction. ~~TMCC~~ ~~cannot predict the outcome of this request given its preliminary status.~~

~~Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“~~DBTCA~~”),~~ ~~the indenture trustee under the indenture for the Toyota Auto Receivables 2012-B Owner Trust transaction,~~ has been named as a defendant in civil litigation concerning its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. On June 18, 2014, a group of investors (“Plaintiff Investors”) filed a civil action against DBTCA and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DBTCA’s and DBNTC’s alleged failure to perform their obligations as trustees for the trusts (the “NY Derivative Action”). An amended complaint was filed on July 16, 2014, adding Plaintiff Investors and RMBS trusts to the NY Derivative Action. On November 24, 2014, the Plaintiff Investors moved to voluntarily dismiss the NY Derivative Action without prejudice. Also on ~~November~~ November 24, 2014, substantially the same group of Plaintiff Investors filed a civil action against DBTCA and DBNTC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY Action”), making substantially the same allegations as the New York Derivative Action with respect to 564 RMBS trusts (542 of which were at issue in the NY Derivative Action). The SDNY Action is styled both as a derivative action on behalf of the named RMBS trusts and, in the alternative, as a putative class action on behalf of holders of RMBS representing interests in those RMBS trusts. On January 19, 2016, the court overseeing the SDNY Action granted in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss on procedural grounds: as to the 500 trusts that are governed by pooling and servicing agreements, the court declined to exercise jurisdiction. The court did not rule on substantive defenses asserted in defendants’ motion to dismiss. The court further ordered plaintiffs to file an amended complaint consistent with its ruling as to the remaining 64 trusts governed by indentures. ~~The~~On February 23, ~~defendants~~2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint as to 62 of the 64 indenture trusts included in the SDNY Action. DBNTC and DBTCA will have an opportunity to file new defensive motions with respect to ~~the~~this amended complaint ~~after it is filed~~. ~~DBTCA~~ DBTCA intends to continue to vigorously defend the SDNY Action. It is anticipated that plaintiffs will, in the near future, file a new state court complaint as to some or all of the 500 trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements which were dismissed from the SDNY Action.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. and IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. filed a Summons With Notice in New York state court naming as defendants DBNTC and DBTCA, as trustees of 37 RMBS trusts (the “IKB Action”). DBTCA believes the claims in the IKB Action to be substantively similar to the SDNY Action. The IKB Action is not styled as a putative class action, but the plaintiffs may attempt to bring derivative claims on behalf of the named RMBS trusts. DBTCA intends to vigorously defend the IKB Action.

It is DBTCA’s belief that it has no pending legal proceedings (including, based on DBTCA’s present evaluation, the litigation disclosed in the two immediately preceding paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to perform its duties as indenture trustee.
