The Registration Rights Agreement The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
ASSIGNMENT OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of in excess of fifty (50%) percent or more of the Registrable Securities (or all or any portion of any Debenture of the Company which is convertible into such securities) only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and (d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. In the event of any delay in filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a result of such assignment, the Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such delay, or the payments set forth in Section 2(c) hereof.
Registration Agreement The holder of this Exchangeable Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2002, by and among the Company, Navistar and the Initial Purchasers (the "Registration Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Agreement, the Company and Navistar have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Notes and the Common Stock issued and issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes, that (i) they will, at their cost, within 90 days after the Issue Date, file a shelf registration statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to resales of the Exchangeable Notes and the Common Stock issuable upon exchange thereof, (ii) the Company and Navistar will use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act within 210 days after the Issue Date and (iii) the Company and Navistar will use their reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (1) the latest of the second anniversary of (a) the Issue Date, (b) the last date on which any Exchangeable Notes are issued upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers' over-allotment option or (c) the last date on which any unregistered Navistar Common Stock is issued or issuable in exchange for Exchangeable Notes; (2) the date on which the Exchangeable Notes and the unregistered Common Stock issuable upon their exchange may be sold by non-affiliates of Navistar and Navistar Financial pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144 (or any successor provision) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act; (3) the date as of which all the Exchangeable Notes and the Common Stock issuable upon their exchange have been sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force) or (4) the date as of which all the Exchangeable Notes or the Common Stock issuable upon their exchange have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration. If the Shelf Registration Statement (i) is not filed with the Commission on or prior to 90 days, or has not been declared effective by the Commission within 210 days, after the Issue Date or (ii) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by a replacement shelf registration statement filed and declared effective) or cease to be usable (including, without limitation, as a result of a Suspension Period as defined below) for the offer and sale of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined below) for a period of time (including any Suspension Period) which shall exceed 60 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the second anniversary of the latest of (a) the Issue Date, (b) the second anniversary of the last date on which any Exchangeable Notes are issued upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers' over-allotment option and (c) the last date on which any unregistered Navistar Common Stock is issued or issuable in exchange for the Exchange Notes (each such event referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as a "Registration Default"), the Company will pay liquidated damages to each holder of Transfer Restricted Securities that are Exchangeable Notes and Navistar will pay liquidated damages to each holder of Transfer Restricted Securities that are Common Stock (together, "Liquidated Damages") which has complied with its obligations under the Registration Agreement. The amount of Liquidated Damages payable during any period in which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing is that amount which is equal to one-quarter of one percent (25 basis points) per annum per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes and $2.50 per annum per 17.944 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of a stock split, stock recombination, stock dividend and the like) constituting Transfer Restricted Securities for the first 90 days during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing and one-half of one percent (50 basis points) per annum per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes and $5.00 per annum per 17.944 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth above) constituting Transfer Restricted Securities for any additional days during which such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing. All accrued Liquidated Damages will be paid by check on each Damages Payment Date (as defined in the Registration Agreement), and Liquidated Damages will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Following the cure of a Registration Default, Liquidated Damages will cease to accrue with respect to such Registration Default.
Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (a) Section 1(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Registration Statement (a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Parties shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Securities to be issued under this Agreement to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Company Securities at the Closing Date, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of Purchaser (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Purchaser shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their Purchaser Ordinary Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the shareholder vote on the Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall be used to solicit proxies from Purchaser shareholders to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, in favor of resolutions approving this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated as part of the Business Combination, the Domestication, the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan for Pubco in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, Pubco and Purchaser (the “Pubco Equity Plan”), which will provide that the total awards under such Pubco Equity Plan will be a number of Pubco Common Stock equal to twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, and such other matters as the Company, Pubco and Purchaser shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the “Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters”), and the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of Purchaser. If on the date for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, Purchaser has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Purchaser may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Company shall provide Purchaser and Pubco with such information concerning the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The information included in the Registration Statement with respect to Purchaser and Pubco shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.
(b) Purchaser and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption. Each of Purchaser, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company, Pubco, Purchaser, and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Purchaser and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC.
(c) Purchaser, the Company and Pubco, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and be declared effective. Purchaser and Pubco shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company of any oral comments, that Purchaser, Pubco or their respective Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments.
(d) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and being declared effective, Purchaser and Pubco shall distribute the Proxy Statement to Purchaser’s shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Act for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(e) Purchaser and Pubco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.
