THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT is made as of March 9, 2000 by and
among Navistar Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("NFC" and, in its
capacity as Servicer hereunder, the "Servicer"), Navistar Financial Retail
Receivables Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("NFRRC" and, in its capacity as
the Seller hereunder, the "Seller"), and Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware, a
Delaware banking corporation, not in its individual capacity, but solely as
Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement (the "Owner Trustee").
WHEREAS, NFC has sold the Initial Receivables, and has agreed to sell
Subsequent Receivables, to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the Initial Receivables and Subsequent
Receivables (collectively, the "Receivables"), to the Owner Trustee in exchange
for the Securities and the payment of funds withdrawn from the Pre-Funding
Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Servicer desires to
perform the servicing obligations set forth herein for and in consideration of
the fees and other benefits set forth in this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Owner Trustee wish to set forth the terms
pursuant to which the Receivables are to be sold by the Seller to the Owner
Trustee on behalf of the Trust and serviced by the Servicer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good and
valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in the above
-----------

Servicing Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented (whether by Subsequent
Transfer Assignment or otherwise) or modified from time to time, the exhibits
hereto and the capitalized terms used herein which are defined in such Appendix

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Initial Receivables. In consideration of the
---------------------------------
Owner Trustee's delivery of the Securities to, or upon the order of, the Seller,
the Seller does hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to fulfill all of its
obligations hereunder and to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware, not in its individual capacity, but
solely as Owner Trustee, under the Trust Agreement, without recourse, pursuant
------- --------
to an assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Initial
---------
Assignment"), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:
(a) the Initial Receivables and all monies paid thereon (including
Liquidation Proceeds) and due thereunder on and after the Initial Cutoff Date;
(b) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors
pursuant to the Initial Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any
accessions thereto which are financed by NFC;
(c) the benefits of any lease assignments with respect to the related
Financed Vehicles;
(d) any proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to the Initial
Receivables;
(e) any proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to the Initial
Receivables, proceeds from any NITC Purchase Obligations with respect to the
Initial Receivables (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.04) and
proceeds from any Guaranties of Initial Receivables;
(f) the Purchase Agreement, the Initial PA Assignment pursuant to Section
2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Receivables and the
Custodian Agreement, including the right of the Seller to cause NFC to perform
its obligations thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase Initial
Receivables under certain circumstances); and
(g) any proceeds of the property described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and
(f) above.
It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated
by this Section 2.01 shall constitute a sale of the Initial Receivables from the
Seller to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and the beneficial interest
in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be
part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition
by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within two Business Days
after the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited into the
Collection Account all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to
the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 received by the Seller
pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller and the Servicer
intend to treat such transfer and assignment as a sale for accounting and tax
purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
2
event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such transfer and
assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial interest is a
part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted
to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected
security interest in all of the Seller's right title and interest in, to and
under the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, and the Seller hereby
grants such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to this
Section 2.01 shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none
of the obligations, if any) of the Seller under any agreement or instrument
included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, including the
immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt
for principal and interest payments in respect of the Initial Receivables
included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all other
monies payable under the Initial Receivables conveyed pursuant to this Section
2.01, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or
other agreements, to exercise all rights, powers and options, to bring
Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and
receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled to do or receive under or
with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01. For purposes
of such grant, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the
UCC.
SECTION 2.02. Conveyance of Subsequent Receivables. (a) Subject to
-------------------------------------
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b) below, in
consideration of the Owner Trustee's delivery on the related Subsequent Transfer
Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the amount described in Section
5.02(a) to be delivered to the Seller, the Seller does hereby agree to sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Owner Trustee, without
-------
recourse, pursuant to an assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a
-------- ---------
"Subsequent Transfer Assignment"), all right, title and interest of the Seller
in, to and under:
(i) the Subsequent Receivables described in such Subsequent Transfer
Assignment and identified on the Schedule of Receivables and all monies
paid thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) and due thereunder on and
after the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date;
(ii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by
Obligors pursuant to such Subsequent Receivables and, to the extent
permitted by law, any accessions thereto which are financed by NFC;
(iii) the benefits of any lease assignments with respect to the
related Financed Vehicles;
(iv) any proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to such
Subsequent Receivables;
(v) any proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to such
Subsequent Receivables, proceeds from any NITC Purchase Obligations with
respect to such Subsequent
3
Receivables (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.04) and
proceeds from any Guaranties of Subsequent Receivables;
(vi) the Purchase Agreement, the Subsequent Transfer PA Assignments
pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to such
Subsequent Receivables and the Custodian Agreement, including the right of
the Seller to cause NFC to perform its obligations thereunder (including
the obligation to repurchase Subsequent Receivables under certain
circumstances); and
(vii) any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) and (vi) above.
It is the intention of the Seller that each transfer and assignment contemplated
by this Section 2.02 shall constitute a sale of the related Subsequent
Receivables from the Seller to the Owner Trustee and the beneficial interest in
and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer Assignment
shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a
bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within
two Business Days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause to
be deposited into the Collection Account all collections (from whatever source)
on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent
Transfer Assignment received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the
Purchase Agreement. The Seller and the Servicer intend to treat each such
transfer and assignment as a sale for accounting and tax purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any such transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale
or that such beneficial interest is a part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the
Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Owner Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in,
to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer
Assignment, and the Seller hereby grants such security interest and (ii) the
assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Assignment shall be deemed
to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any)
of the Seller under any agreement or instrument included in the assets conveyed
pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Assignment, including the immediate and
continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal
and interest payments in respect of the Subsequent Receivables included in the
assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Assignment and all other
monies payable under the Subsequent Receivables conveyed pursuant to such
Subsequent Transfer Assignment, to give and receive notices and other
communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights,
powers and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise
and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled
to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to such
Subsequent Transfer Assignment. For purposes of such grant, each such Subsequent
Transfer Assignment, together with this Agreement, shall constitute a security
agreement under the UCC.
(b) The Seller shall transfer to the Owner Trustee Subsequent
Receivables and the other property and rights related thereto described in
Section 2.02(a) above only upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions precedent on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date:
4
(i) the Funding Period shall not have terminated;
(ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Seller
pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to such Subsequent Receivables shall
be true and correct as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date with the
same effect as if then made, and the Seller shall have performed all
obligations to be performed by it hereunder on or prior to such Subsequent
Transfer Date;
(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a duly executed Subsequent
Transfer Assignment, including a schedule of such Subsequent Receivables
(which schedule shall be deemed to supplement the Schedule of Receivables
-----------------------
in effect at such time);
(iv) the applicable Reserve Account Initial Deposit for such
Subsequent Transfer Date shall have been deposited in the Reserve Account
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii);
(v) the Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to each
Subsequent Transfer Date indicate in its computer files that the Subsequent
Receivables conveyed on such date have been sold to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement and the related Subsequent Transfer Assignment;
(vi) the Seller shall have taken any action required to maintain the
first priority perfected ownership interest of the Owner Trustee in the
Owner Trust Estate and the first priority perfected security interest of
the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral;
(vii) The Receivables in the Trust (after giving effect to the
conveyance of the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust on such Subsequent
Transfer Date) shall meet the following criteria: (A) the weighted average
Annual Percentage Rate of the Receivables in the Trust shall not be less
than 9.07%, (B) the weighted average remaining maturity of the Receivables
in the Trust shall not be greater than 57 months and (C) the aggregate
Receivables Balance of all Receivables owing from a single Obligor shall
not be more than 2.00% of the aggregate Receivables Balance of all
Receivables in the Trust;
(viii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee an Officers' Certificate confirming the satisfaction of
the conditions specified in this Section 2.02(b);
(ix) the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies an
Opinion of Counsel with respect to the transfer of such Subsequent
Receivables substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered
to the Rating Agencies on the Closing Date;
(x) The Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee written confirmation from an independent public
accounting firm that, as of the
5
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, such Subsequent Receivables satisfied
the eligibility criteria described in Sections 3.01(a)(v), (r), (s), (t),
(w) and (x) of the Purchase Agreement; and
(xi) Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") shall have notified
the Seller in writing that, following the addition of all such Subsequent
Receivables to the Trust, the Notes will be rated by S&P in the same rating
category as they were rated by S&P prior to such addition.
(c) The Seller covenants to transfer to the Owner Trustee pursuant
to Section 2.02(a) before the termination of the Funding Period, Subsequent
Receivables with an aggregate Starting Receivable Balance equal to
$94,156,091.27. If on the Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends
(or, if the Funding Period does not end on a Distribution Date, the first
Distribution Date following the end of the Funding Period) the Pre-Funded Amount
is equal to or greater than $100,000, the Seller shall be obligated to pay to
the Owner Trustee on the Transfer Date immediately preceding such Distribution
Date an amount equal to the Noteholders' Prepayment Premium with respect to each
class of Notes or such lesser amount that the Seller actually receives from NFC
under Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement in respect of NFC's breach thereof;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall be the sole remedy of the Owner
-------- -------
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect to a failure of
the Seller to comply with this covenant.
SECTION 2.03. Custody of Receivable Files. In connection with the sale,
---------------------------
transfer and assignment of Receivables to the Seller from NFC pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Seller, simultaneously with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, shall enter into the Custodian Agreement with the Custodian,
pursuant to which the Seller shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the
Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Seller as
Custodian of the following documents or instruments which shall be
constructively delivered to the Owner Trustee, as of the Closing Date with
respect to each Initial Receivable, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer
Date with respect to each Subsequent Receivable:
(a) the fully executed original of the Retail Note for such Receivable;
(b) documents evidencing or related to any Insurance Policy;
(c) the original credit application of each Obligor, fully executed by
each such Obligor on NFC's customary form, or on a form approved by NFC, for
such application;
(d) where permitted by law, the original certificate of title (when
received) and otherwise such documents, if any, that NFC keeps on file in
accordance with its customary procedures indicating that the Financed Vehicle is
owned by the Obligor and subject to the interest of NFC as first lienholder or
secured party; and
6
(e) any and all other documents that NFC keeps on file in accordance with
its customary procedures relating to the individual Receivable, Obligor or
Financed Vehicle.
Pursuant to Sections 2.01(f) and 2.02(a)(vi), the rights of the Seller under the
Custodian Agreement are being assigned to the Owner Trustee.
SECTION 2.04. Acceptance by Owner Trustee; Limitation on Transfer of NITC
-----------------------------------------------------------
Purchase Obligations. The Owner Trustee does hereby accept all consideration
--------------------
conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, and declares that
the Owner Trustee shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the
Trust Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and this Agreement; provided,
--------
however, that the Owner Trustee acknowledges and agrees that (a) the rights
-------
pursuant to the NITC Purchase Obligations are personal to NFC, and only the
proceeds of such rights are being assigned to the Owner Trustee pursuant to the
terms hereof, (b) the Owner Trustee is not or is not intended to be a third-
party beneficiary of such rights, and (c) accordingly such rights are not
exercisable by, enforceable by or for the benefit of, or preserved for the
benefit of, the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee hereby agrees and accepts the
appointment and authorization of NFC as Servicer under Section 3.01. The parties
agree that this Agreement (including any Subsequent Transfer Assignments), the
Indenture and the Trust Agreement constitute the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements for purposes of the Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 2.05. Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables.
----------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Sections 2.01(f) and 2.02(a)(vi), the Seller assigns to the Owner
Trustee all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase
Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the representations
and warranties of NFC made to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
Purchase Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Owner
Trustee that the Seller has taken no action which would cause such
representations and warranties to be false in any material respect as of the
Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related
Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables. The Seller
further acknowledges that the Owner Trustee is relying on the representations
and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and of NFC under the Purchase
Agreement in accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and delivering the
Securities. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the Closing
Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables, but shall survive the
sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivables to the Owner Trustee and the
pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
SECTION 2.06. Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon
-------------------------------------------------
discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or either Trustee of a breach of any of
the representations and warranties in Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement
(and, with respect to subsection 3.01(j) of the Purchase Agreement, irrespective
of any limitation regarding knowledge of NFC) or in Section 2.05 or Section 6.01
of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Securityholders in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second Accounting Date
following its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach
7
(or, at the Seller's election, the first Accounting Date following such
discovery), unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects,
in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the
Seller in Section 2.05 or Section 6.01, the Seller shall repurchase such
Receivable from the Owner Trustee on the related Distribution Date. The Owner
Trustee shall have no affirmative duty to conduct any investigation as to the
occurrence of any event requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to
this Section 2.06.
The repurchase price to be paid by any Warranty Purchaser shall be an
amount equal to the Warranty Payment. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to which a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such repurchase obligations are
fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller, the Servicer or NFC
for such breach available to any Interested Party. The Servicer acknowledges its
obligations to repurchase Administrative Receivables from the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof and to repurchase Warranty Receivables pursuant
to Section 5.04 of the Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 3.01. Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby appointed
----------------------
and authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the Receivables and in such
capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the
Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that
the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck,
bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer
hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the
duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. The
Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments,
responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to
Obligors, policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Owner of any Receivables with respect to
distributions, generating federal income tax information and performing the
other duties specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, the
Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall
have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in
connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it
may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to
this Section 3.01, to execute and deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties,
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to commence in the name of the Owner of such Receivable or, to the
extent necessary, in its own name, a legal proceeding to enforce a Liquidating
Receivable as contemplated by Section 3.04, to enforce all obligations of NFC
and NFRRC, in its capacity as the Seller or otherwise, under each of the
Purchase Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to
commence or
8
participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating
to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable. If the Servicer
commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Owner
of such Receivable shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such
Receivable to the Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any
such proceeding as a party or claimant, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Owner of a Receivable to execute and deliver in the Servicer's
name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other
documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of
Receivables, upon the written request of the Servicer, shall furnish the
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other
steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement and the other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Except to the
extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights granted
to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of
equivalent authority and rights.
SECTION 3.02. Collection of Receivables Payments. The Servicer shall make
----------------------------------
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall
follow such collection practices, policies and procedures as it follows with
respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck, bus and trailer receivables
that it services for itself or others. Except as provided in subsection 3.07(c),
the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on
a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable and to
rewrite, in its ordinary course of business, a Receivable to reflect the Full
Prepayment of a Receivable with respect to any Financed Vehicle without the
prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable. The Servicer is authorized in its
discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees
that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Receivable.
SECTION 3.03. [Reserved.]
SECTION 3.04. Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer
----------------------------------------
shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing
procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of each
Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or
otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by each
such Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such practices,
policies and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
customary and usual in its servicing of medium and heavy duty truck, bus and
trailer receivables that it services for itself or others, which practices,
policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon or obtain
benefits of any lease assignments, proceeds from any Dealer Liability, proceeds
from any NITC Purchase Obligations, proceeds from any Insurance Policies and
proceeds from any Guaranties, in each case with respect to the Receivables,
selling the related Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles at public or private
sale or sales and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a
Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which
the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend
funds in connection
9
with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it
shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount
greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to
receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at such
time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable in accordance with
subsection 4.06(b)(i).
SECTION 3.05. Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in
---------------------------------
accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require that each Obligor
shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as
of the execution of the related Receivable, unless the Servicer has in
accordance with its customary procedures permitted an Obligor to self-insure the
Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles securing such Receivable. The Servicer
shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, monitor such
physical damage insurance with respect to each Financed Vehicle that secures
each Receivable.
SECTION 3.06. Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer
---------------------------------------------
shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own
expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first
priority security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed
Vehicle or Financed Vehicles. The Owner of each Receivable hereby authorizes
the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest as necessary because of the
relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.
SECTION 3.07. Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the
-------------------------
following covenants on which the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is
relying in acquiring the Receivables hereunder and issuing the Securities under
the other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. The Servicer covenants that
from and after the Closing Date (with respect to the Initial Receivables) or the
related Subsequent Transfer Date (with respect to Subsequent Receivables):
(a) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated in this Agreement, the Servicer
--------------
shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security
interest securing such related Receivable;
(b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of
-------------
NFRRC or any Interested Party in and to such Receivables; and
(c) No Modifications. The Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify
----------------
any such Receivable such that the Starting Receivable Balance, the Annual
Percentage Rate or the total number of Scheduled Payments is altered or such
that the final scheduled payment on such Receivable will be due later than
December 31, 2006.
SECTION 3.08. Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon
-----------------------------------------------
discovery by any of the Seller, the Servicer or any party under the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements of a breach of any of the covenants set
forth in Sections 3.06 and 3.07, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second Accounting Date
10
following its discovery or receipt of notice of such breach (or, at the
Servicer's election, the first Accounting Date so following), the Servicer
shall, unless it shall have cured such breach in all material respects, purchase
from the Owner thereof any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such
breach as determined by such Owner and, on the related Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall pay the Administrative Purchase Payment. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable with
respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for
such breach available to the Seller or any Interested Party. Neither the Owner
Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any affirmative duty to conduct any
investigation as to the occurrence of any event requiring the repurchase of any
Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.08.
SECTION 3.09. Total and Supplemental Servicing Fees; Payment of Certain
---------------------------------------------------------
Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Total Servicing
--------------------
Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees out of collections in respect of the
Receivables as provided herein. Subject to any limitations on the Servicer's
liability hereunder, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including fees and
disbursements of the Owner Trustee, any trustees and independent accountants,
taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not
expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the
Securityholders, but excluding federal, state and local income and franchise
taxes, if any, of the Owner Trustee or any Securityholder).
SECTION 3.10. Servicer's Certificate. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago,
----------------------
Illinois time) on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to each
Trustee and the Rating Agencies a Servicer's Certificate with respect to the
immediately preceding Monthly Period executed by the President or any Vice
President of the Servicer containing all information necessary to each such
party for making the calculations, withdrawals, deposits, transfers and
distributions required by Section 4.06, and all information required to be
provided to Certificateholders and Noteholders under subsection 4.09(a).
Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer under Section 3.08 hereof or Section
5.04 of the Purchase Agreement as of the last day of any Monthly Period shall be
identified by Receivable number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables).
-----------------------
With respect to any Receivables for which the Seller is the Owner, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Seller such accountings relating to such Receivables and
the actions of the Servicer with respect thereto as the Seller may reasonably
request.
SECTION 3.11. Application of Collections. For the purposes of this
--------------------------
Agreement, as of each Accounting Date, all collections for the related Monthly
Period with respect to each Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer as
follows:
(a) All payments by or on behalf of the Obligor (excluding Supplemental
Servicing Fees and Investment Earnings) shall be applied (i) first to reduce
-----
Outstanding Monthly Advances, if any, with respect to such Receivable, as
described in Section 5.06, (ii) second, to the Scheduled Payment
------
11
for such Monthly Period with respect to such Receivable, and (iii) third, the
-----
remainder shall constitute, with respect to such Receivable, a Full Prepayment
or Partial Prepayment; and
(b) A Partial Prepayment made on a Receivable is applied to reduce the
final Scheduled Payment and will thereafter, to the extent the Partial
Prepayment exceeds the final Scheduled Payment, reduce Scheduled Payments in
reverse chronological order beginning with the penultimate Scheduled Payment.
The Rebate related to such Partial Prepayment will reduce the final Scheduled
Payment and will thereafter, to the extent the Rebate exceeds the final
Scheduled Payment, reduce Scheduled Payments in reverse chronological order
beginning with the penultimate Scheduled Payment.

thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written
notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice

---------------------------------------------------------
Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to each Trustee reasonable access to
-----------
the documentation regarding the Receivables. The Servicer shall provide such
access to any Securityholder only in such cases where a Securityholder is
required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. In
each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at offices of the Servicer designated
by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 4.03 shall derogate from the obligation
of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section 4.03 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 4.03.
SECTION 4.04. Amendments to Schedule of Receivables. On or before each
-------------------------------------
Subsequent Transfer Date occurring during the Funding Period, the Seller will
deliver to each Trustee a schedule of the Subsequent Receivables being
transferred to the Owner Trustee (and such schedule shall be deemed to
supplement the Schedule of Receivables). If the Servicer, during a Monthly
-----------------------
Period, assigns to a Receivable an account number that differs from the account
number previously identifying such Receivable on the Schedule of Receivables,
-----------------------
the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller and each Trustee on or before the
Distribution Date related to such Monthly Period an amendment to the Schedule of
-----------
Receivables to report the newly assigned account number. Each such amendment
-----------
shall list all new account numbers assigned to Receivables during such Monthly
Period
13
and shall show by cross reference the prior account numbers identifying such
Receivables on the Schedule of Receivables.

-----------
Warranty Payment with respect to an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty
Receivable, respectively, each Trustee shall assign, without recourse,
representation or warranty, to the Servicer or the Warranty Purchaser, as
applicable, all of such Trustee's right, title and interest in, to and under (a)
such Administrative Receivable or Warranty Receivable and all monies due

proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to such Receivable, proceeds from
any NITC Purchase Obligations with respect to such Receivable and proceeds from
any Guaranties of such Receivable, (f) the interests of such Trustee in certain
rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to the Insurance Policies and any
document relating thereto and (g) the rights of such Trustee under the Purchase
Agreement and the Custodian Agreement with respect to such Receivable, such
assignment being an assignment outright and not for security. Upon the
assignment of such Receivable described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer
or the Warranty Purchaser, as applicable, shall own such Receivable, and all
such security and documents, free of any further obligations to either Trustee
or the Securityholders with respect thereto. If in any Proceeding it is held
that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it is not a
real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the
applicable Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the
Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in
the name of such Person or the names of the Securityholders.

the day preceding such Distribution Date and (B) the amount, if any, by
which (I) the sum of the Total Servicing Fee, the Aggregate Class A
Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount, the Class B Noteholders'
Interest Distributable Amount and the Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount exceeds (II) the sum of the Available Amount for such Distribution
Date plus the amounts deposited to the Collection Account on such date

following order of priority:

Account") to include the money and other property deposited and held therein
pursuant to this Section 4.07(a), Section 4.07(c), Section 4.06(c) and Section
5.02(a). On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the Reserve Account
Initial Deposit with respect to the Closing Date into the Reserve Account. The
Reserve Account shall be the property of the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee in the Reserve Account
Property.

Date (after giving effect to all deposits therein or withdrawals therefrom on
such Distribution Date) exceeds the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit
into the Certificate Distribution Account an amount equal to any such excess for
distribution to the Certificateholders.
(c) If the Servicer, pursuant to Section 5.06, determines on any
Determination Date that it is required to make a Monthly Advance and does not do
so from its own funds, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to
withdraw funds from the Reserve Account and deposit them in the Collection
Account to cover any shortfall. Such payment shall be deemed to have been made
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 for purposes of making distributions
pursuant to this Agreement, but shall not otherwise satisfy the Servicer's
obligation to deliver the amount of the Monthly Advances to the Collection
Account, and the Servicer shall within two Business Days replace any funds in
the Reserve Account so used. The Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
for any such deemed Monthly Advances unless and until the Servicer shall have
replaced such funds in the Reserve Account.
SECTION 4.08. Net Deposits. At any time that (i) NFC shall be the
------------
Servicer and (ii) the Servicer shall be permitted by Section 5.04 to remit
collections on a basis other than a daily basis, the Servicer, the Seller, and
each Trustee may make any remittances pursuant to this Article IV net of amounts

remittances and distributions as if the amounts were deposited and/or
transferred separately.
SECTION 4.09. Statements to Securityholders.

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall include with each
distribution to each Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall include

Shortfall, the Noteholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall and the Class B
Noteholders' Interest Carryover Shortfall if any, and the change in such

Trustee since the preceding
17
Distribution Date, the remaining Pre-Funded Amount and the Investment
Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (if any) for the
related Monthly Period;
(xv) for the first Distribution Date occurring on or after the last
day of the Funding Period, the amount of any remaining Pre-Funded Amount
that has not been used to fund the purchase of Subsequent Receivables.
Each amount set forth pursuant to clauses (i), (iv), (viii), (x) and (xi) above
shall be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000 of initial Note Principal
Balance. In lieu of preparing and delivering a separate statement to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section, a Trustee may deliver a copy of the

the end of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall prepare and execute and the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall

in no event later than five Business Days, after obtaining knowledge of an
Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer, the Seller or the Trust, the
Servicer shall deliver to each of the Ratings Agencies notice of such Insolvency
Event. Failure by the Servicer to comply with the terms of this Section 4.10
shall not constitute a "Servicer Default," an "Event of Default" or a default
under any Basic Document.
ARTICLE V
ACCOUNTS; COLLECTIONS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS; ADVANCES
SECTION 5.01. Establishment of Accounts.
-------------------------
(a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Securityholders, shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit
Account known as the Navistar Financial 2000-A Owner Trust Collection Account
(the "Collection Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Securityholders.
18
(ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit

Account (the "Note Distribution Account"), bearing an additional designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Noteholders.
(iii) Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Servicer, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Owner
Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar Financial 2000-A Owner
Trust Certificate Distribution Account (the "Certificate Distribution Account"),
bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
(iv) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit
Account known as the Navistar Financial 2000-A Owner Trust Pre-Funding Account
(the "Pre-Funding Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Noteholders.
(v) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Securityholders, shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit
Account known as the Navistar 2000-A Owner Trust Negative Carry Account (the
"Negative Carry Account") bearing an additional designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Securityholders.
(b) (i) Each of the Designated Accounts shall be initially established
with the Indenture Trustee and shall be maintained with the Indenture Trustee so
long as (A) the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee
have the Required Deposit Rating or (B) each of the Designated Accounts are
maintained in the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee. All
amounts held in such accounts (including amounts, if any, which the Servicer is
required to remit daily to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04)
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be
invested, at the written direction of the Servicer, by such bank or trust
company in Eligible Investments; provided, that funds in the Collection Account
in an amount not in excess of 20% of the Aggregate Receivables Balance as of the
preceding Accounting Date may be invested in investments which have a rating
from S&P of "A-1" rather than "A-1+," if such investments otherwise constitute
Eligible Investments. Such written direction shall constitute certification by
the Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 5.01. Funds
deposited in the Reserve Account, the Negative Carry Account and the Pre-Funding
Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments which mature prior to the next
Distribution Date except, and then only to the extent, as shall be otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be
made in the name of the Indenture Trustee or its nominee, and such investments
shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. Should the short-term
unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee (or any other bank or trust
company with which the Designated Accounts are maintained) no longer have the
Required Deposit
19
Rating, then the Servicer shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period,
not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent),
with the Indenture Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Designated
Accounts (A) to be moved to a bank or trust company, the short-term unsecured
debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or (B) to be
moved to the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee. Except with
respect to Investment Earnings on the Pre-Funding Account, Investment Earnings
on funds deposited in the Designated Accounts shall be deposited into the
Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders,
except when the Indenture Trustee is acting as successor Servicer in which case
such Investment Earnings shall be payable to the Indenture Trustee as successor
Servicer. The Indenture Trustee or the other Person holding the Designated
Accounts as provided in this Section 5.01(b)(i) shall be the "Securities
Intermediary." If the Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such
Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in Section
5.01.
(ii) With respect to the Designated Account Property, the Indenture
Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) The Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial
Assets will be credited.
(B) All securities or other property underlying any Financial
Assets credited to the Designated Accounts shall be registered in the
name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities
Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case
will any Financial Asset credited to any of the Designated Accounts be
registered in the name of the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the
Seller, payable to the order of the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the
Seller or specially indorsed to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the
Seller except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed
to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.
(C) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be promptly
credited to the appropriate Designated Account.
(D) Each item of property (whether investment property,
Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to a
Designated Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the
meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC.
(E) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any
order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of
any Financial Asset relating to the Securities Accounts, the
Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order
without further consent by the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Seller
or any other Person.
20
(F) The Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of
the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any other
agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the
Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as
well as the Securities Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed
by the laws of the State of New York.
(G) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and
until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any
agreement with any other person relating to the Designated Accounts
and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has
agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-
102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other person and the Securities
Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Owner Trustee,
the Seller, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit
or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply
with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(ii)(E) hereof.
(H) Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture
Trustee and of the Owner Trustee in the Designated Accounts, the
Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the
Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any
other person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including
any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against the Designated Accounts or in any Financial
Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee
thereof.
(I) The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of
all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the
Designated Accounts and/or any Designated Account Property
simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee at
the addresses set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement.
(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture
Trustee (or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee) to
instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the
Designated Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner
Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture
Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.
(iv) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated
Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (except Investment Earnings). Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, the Designated Accounts shall be
under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Securityholders.
21
(v) The Servicer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any
investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Designated
Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account
shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale,
in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with
any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if
requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such
effect.
(c) Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in
the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Certificate
Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the
Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Servicer shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new
Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall cause
the Owner Trustee to transfer any cash and/or any investments in the old
Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
(d) The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Intermediary
and each other Eligible Deposit Institution with whom a Designated Account or
the Certificate Distribution Account is maintained waives any right of set-off,
counterclaim, security interest or bankers' lien to which it might otherwise be
entitled.
SECTION 5.02. Pre-Funding Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Seller
-------------------
shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Account $94,156,091.27 from the net proceeds of
the sale of the Notes. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an
amount equal to (i) the aggregate Starting Receivable Balance of the Subsequent
Receivables transferred to the Owner Trustee on such Subsequent Transfer Date
less the Reserve Account Initial Deposit with respect to such Subsequent
Transfer Date and distribute such amount to or upon the order of the Seller upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b) with respect to such
transfer, and (ii) the Reserve Account Initial Deposit with respect to such
Subsequent Transfer Date and, on behalf of the Seller, deposit such amount in
the Reserve Account.
(b) If the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on or prior
to the Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends (or, if the
Funding Period does not end on a Distribution Date, on the first
Distribution Date following the end of the Funding Period), the
Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the
Pre-Funding Account on such Distribution Date any amount then
remaining in the Pre-Funding Account to the Note Distribution Account
and, if such amount is greater than $100,000, the Seller, on behalf of
the Owner Trustee, will deposit into the Note Distribution Account for
each class of Notes an amount equal to the Noteholders'
22
Prepayment Premiums for such class of Notes; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the Owner Trustee's obligation to pay the Noteholders' Prepayment
Premiums shall be limited to funds which are received by the Owner
Trustee from the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof as
liquidated damages for the failure to deliver the Subsequent
Receivables, and no other assets of the Owner Trustee will be
available for making such payments. If the amount of funds available
for payment of the Noteholders' Prepayment Premiums is less than the
sum of the Noteholders' Prepayment Premium for each class of Notes,
then the available funds will be allocated among each class of Notes
in accordance with the Pre-Funded Percentage for such class of Notes.
SECTION 5.03. Negative Carry Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Seller
----------------------
shall deposit in the Negative Carry Account $1,113,346.88 (the "Negative Carry
Account Initial Deposit") from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes. On or
before the Transfer Date preceding each Distribution Date occurring on or prior
to the first Distribution Date that occurs on or after the end of the Funding
Period, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the
Negative Carry Account and deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal
to the Negative Carry Amount for such Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date during the Funding Period, the Servicer will
instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Negative Carry Account an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount on deposit in the Negative
Carry Account over the Required Negative Carry Account Balance and deposit it in
the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders
to or upon the order of the Seller in an account designated by the Seller to the
Servicer, and on the Distribution Date on or immediately following the last day
of the Funding Period, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to
withdraw from the Negative Carry Account the amount remaining on deposit in the
Negative Carry Account and deposit it to or upon the order of the Seller in an
account designated by the Seller to the Servicer.
SECTION 5.04. Collections. The Servicer shall remit to the Collection
-----------
Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors on the Receivables, all
Insurance Proceeds, all Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds from any Dealer
Liability, proceeds from any NITC Purchase Obligations and proceeds from any
Guaranties within two Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections within
such two Business Days but may remit collections received during a Monthly
Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Business
Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date but only for so long as
(i) NFC is the Servicer, (ii) (x) the Servicer satisfies the requirements for
monthly remittances established by the Rating Agencies initially rating the
Securities, and upon the satisfaction of such requirements, the Rating Agencies
which initially rated the Securities reaffirm the rating of the Securities at
the level at which they would be rated if collections were remitted within two
Business Days or (y) the short-term unsecured debt obligations of NFC are rated
at least A-1+ by S&P and P-1 by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., and (iii) a
Servicer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstance under
clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence that would
23
require remittance within two Business Days by the Servicer to the Collection
Account unless the Indenture Trustee has received notice of such event or
circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer's Certificate or from
Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Voting Notes as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or unless a
Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office with knowledge hereof and
familiarity herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstance. For
purposes of this Article V the phrase "payments by or on behalf of Obligors"
shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Servicer.
SECTION 5.05. Investment Earnings and Supplemental Servicing Fees. The
---------------------------------------------------
Servicer shall be entitled to receive all Supplemental Servicing Fees, and,
except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b)(1) hereof, the
Certificateholders (via the Certificate Distribution Account) shall be entitled
to receive all Investment Earnings (other than Investment Earnings from amounts
on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account), when and as paid without any obligation
to (a) either Trustee, (b) with respect to the Supplemental Servicing Fees, the
Certificateholders or (c) with respect to the Investment Earnings, the Servicer,
in respect thereof. The Servicer will not have any obligation to deposit any
such amount in any account established hereunder. To the extent that any such
amount shall be held in any account (other than, with respect to amounts to be
distributed to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Distribution Account)
held by either Trustee, or otherwise established hereunder, such amount will be
withdrawn therefrom and paid to the Servicer or deposited in the Certificate
Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders, as applicable,
upon presentation of a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Person setting forth, in reasonable detail, the amount of such Supplemental
Servicing Fees or such Investment Earnings, respectively.
SECTION 5.06. Monthly Advances. Subject to the following sentence, as of
----------------
each Accounting Date, if the payments during the related Monthly Period by or on
behalf of the Obligor on a Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable,
a Warranty Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable) after application under
subsection 3.11(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment, whether as a result
of any extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Servicer shall,
subject to the following sentence, advance any such shortfall (such amount, a
"Monthly Advance"). The Servicer shall be obligated to make a Monthly Advance in
respect of a Receivable only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole
discretion, shall determine that such advance shall be recoverable (in
accordance with the two immediately following sentences) from subsequent
collections or recoveries on such Receivable. Subject to Section 4.07(c), the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for Outstanding Monthly Advances with respect to a
Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable, in each
case as set forth in this Agreement: (i) subsequent payments by or on behalf of
the Obligor, (ii) collections of Liquidation Proceeds, (iii) the Administrative
Purchase Payment and (iv) the Warranty Payment. At such time as the Servicer
shall determine that any Outstanding Monthly Advances with respect to any
Receivable shall not be recoverable from payments with respect to such
Receivable, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from any collections made on other
Receivables then owned by the Owner Trustee.
24
SECTION 5.07. Additional Deposits. The Servicer shall deposit in the
-------------------
Collection Account the aggregate Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 5.06. The
Servicer and the Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate
Administrative Purchase Payments and Warranty Payments with respect to
Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables, respectively. All such
deposits with respect to a Monthly Period shall be made in immediately available
funds on the day before the Distribution Date related to such Monthly Period.

a proceeding in equity or at law;
(v) No Violation. The consummation by such Party of the
-------------
transactions contemplated by the applicable Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements and the fulfillment of the terms of such agreements by such Party
shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions

knowledge, investigations pending or, to such Party's knowledge, threatened
before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or

Servicing Agreements, any Securities issued pursuant thereto and, in the case of
the Seller, the Custodian Agreement or the Administration Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the issuance of such Securities or the consummation of any of

faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie

Agreements; and
(iv) The Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee in its capacity

the Securityholders, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or for errors in judgment; provided,

Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses

costs and liabilities of the Owner Trustee payable from the Owner Trust Estate
and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.
(d) The Applicable Trustee shall distribute out of the Collection Account
on a Distribution Date any amounts permitted for reimbursement pursuant to
subsection 7.03(c) which have not been previously reimbursed after any deposit

-------- -------
such amounts if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (after giving
effect to all deposits and withdrawals pursuant to Sections 4.06(b) and (c) and
Section 4.07(c), on such Distribution Date) is greater than zero but less than
the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such Distribution Date.
SECTION 7.04. Delegation of Duties. So long as NFC acts as Servicer, the
--------------------
Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any duties under

Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02.

SECTION 8.02. Consequences of a Servicer Default. If a Servicer Default
----------------------------------
shall occur and be continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders
whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Voting Notes as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if the
Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance
with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than a majority of the ownership interest in the Trust as of the close
of the preceding Distribution Date) by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the
Securityholders) may, in addition to other rights and remedies available in a
court of law or equity to damages, injunctive relief and specific performance,
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the Securities or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested
in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 8.02. The Indenture
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents,
or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
32
cooperate with either Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the
transfer to either Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that
shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, the Negative Carry Account,
the Pre-Funding Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account or
the Certificate Distribution Account or thereafter received with respect to the
Receivables that shall at that time be held by the Servicer. In addition to any
other amounts that are then payable to the Servicer under this Agreement, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the successor Servicer reimbursements
for any Outstanding Monthly Advances made during the period prior to the notice
pursuant to this Section 8.02 which terminates the obligation and rights of the
Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and
--------------------------------------------------
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
8.02, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed
on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided,
--------
however, that the predecessor Servicer shall remain liable for, and the
-------
successor Servicer shall have no liability for, any indemnification obligations
of the Servicer arising as a result of acts, omissions or occurrences during the
period in which the predecessor Servicer was the Servicer; and provided,
--------
further, that NFC shall remain liable for all such indemnification obligations
-------
of the Servicer without regard to whether it is still Servicer hereunder. As
compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such
compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the
Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of
termination had been given including, but not limited to, the Total Servicing
Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees and shall be entitled to Investment Earnings
as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i) hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the
Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, a successor (i) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and
(ii) whose regular business includes the servicing of medium and heavy duty
truck, bus and trailer receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements
for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Receivables as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
-------- -------
be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
SECTION 8.04. Notification to Securityholders. Upon any termination of,
-------------------------------
or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII,
the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Noteholders and the Rating Agencies and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
33
SECTION 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Noteholders whose Notes evidence
-----------------------
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Voting Notes as of the
close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if all of the Notes have been paid
in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms,
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the ownership
interest in the Trust as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date) may,
on behalf of all Securityholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default
in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the accounts in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
SECTION 8.06. Repayment of Advances. If the identity of the Servicer
---------------------
shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the
extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 5.06 in the manner specified in Section 4.06, with respect
to all Monthly Advances made by such predecessor Servicer.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Optional Purchase of All Receivables. On the last day of
------------------------------------
any Monthly Period as of which (i) the Aggregate Receivables Balance is 10% or
less of the Aggregate Starting Receivables Balance and (ii) the Class A-1 Notes,
the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes have been paid in full, the Servicer
shall have the option to purchase the assets of the Owner Trust Estate other
than the Designated Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account. If the
Servicer's long term unsecured debt rating from Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc.
is equal to or higher than Baa3 at the time that it seeks to exercise such
option, then to exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Administrative Purchase
Payments for the Receivables (including Liquidating Receivables), plus the
appraised value of any such other property contained in the Owner Trust Estate
(less the Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection with the recovery
thereof), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by
the Servicer and each Trustee. If the Servicer's long term unsecured debt
rating from Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. is less than Baa3 at the time that
it seeks to exercise such option, then to exercise such option, the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the appraised value
of the Receivables (including Liquidating Receivables), plus the appraised value
of any such other property contained in the Owner Trust Estate (less the
Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection with the recovery thereof),
such values to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and each Trustee; provided, that such amount (when added to any funds
then on deposit in the Designated Accounts) must be at least equal to the
aggregate Redemption Price of the outstanding Notes to be redeemed with such
proceeds for the Distribution Date related to the Monthly Period in which such
option is exercised. Thereupon, the Servicer shall
34
succeed to all interests in and to the Owner Trust Estate (other than the
Designated Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account).
SECTION 9.02. Sale of Assets; Termination.
---------------------------
(a) Upon any sale or other disposition of the assets of the Owner Trust
Estate pursuant to Article V of the Indenture (an "Event of Default Sale"), the
Servicer shall instruct the Applicable Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such
disposition after all payments and reserves therefrom have been made or the
amount specified in clause SECOND of Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture (the "Event
of Default Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the day preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Event of Default Proceeds are deposited in the
Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on the day
preceding a Distribution Date, on the day preceding the Distribution Date
immediately following such deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Applicable
Trustee to make the following deposits (after the application on the day
preceding such Distribution Date of the Available Amount and funds on deposit in
the Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07) from the Event of
Default Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account
(including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein as described in the
following sentence) in the following priority:
(i) to the Note Distribution Account, any portion of the Aggregate
Class A Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise deposited
into the Note Distribution Account on the day preceding such Distribution
Date for payment of interest on the Class A Notes;
(ii) if such Event of Default Sale results from the occurrence of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a), (b) or (c) of the Indenture,
to the Note Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Note Principal
Balance of the Class A Notes (after giving effect to the reduction in the
Aggregate Note Principal Balance to result from the deposits made in the
Note Distribution Account on the day preceding such Distribution Date and
on the day preceding each prior Distribution Date);
(iii) to the Note Distribution Account, any portion of the Class B
Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise deposited into the
Note Distribution Account on the day preceding such Distribution Date;
(iv) if such Event of Default Sale does not result from the
circumstances specified in Section 9.02(a)(ii), to the Note Distribution
Account, an amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class A Notes
(after giving effect to the reduction in the Aggregate Note Principal
Balance to result from the deposits made in the Note Distribution Account
on the day preceding such Distribution Date and on the day preceding each
prior Distribution Date); and
35
(v) to the Note Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Note
Principal Balance of the Class B Notes (after giving effect to the
reduction therein to result from the deposits made in the Note Distribution
Account on the day preceding such Distribution Date and on the day
preceding each prior Distribution Date).
Subject to Section 5.01(b), any investments on deposit in the Reserve Account
which shall not mature on or before the day preceding such Distribution Date
shall be sold by the Indenture Trustee at such time as shall result in the
Indenture Trustee receiving the proceeds from such sale not later than the day
immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Any Event of Default Proceeds
remaining after the deposits described above shall be deposited into the
Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders.
(b) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer
to each Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice
thereof.
(c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect
to the Notes, and the payment in full of the principal and interest on the
Notes, the Certificateholders shall succeed to the rights of the Noteholders
hereunder and the Owner Trustee shall succeed to the rights of, and assume the
obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the
continuing obligations of the Indenture Trustee set forth in Section 4.4 of the
Indenture).
(d) After payment to each Trustee, the Noteholders and the Servicer of all
amounts required to be paid under this Agreement and the Indenture, any amounts
on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Collection Account (after all other
distributions required to be made from such accounts have been made) shall be
deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the
Certificateholders and any other assets remaining in the Owner Trust Estate
shall be distributed to the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to
the Certificateholders.
