5.
Performance Targets.

a.

6.
Compensation Committee Certification. The Compensation Committee shall certify whether the Corporation has achieved the [Performance Target] target goals as soon as administratively feasible following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event later than two and a half months following the end of the Performance Period.

7.
Calculation of Cash Award. Subject to earlier forfeiture as provided in Section 10 below and vesting as provided in Section 4 above, at the end of the Performance Period on [__________________], the Corporation will calculate the actual cash amount awarded, if any, by using the calculations and metrics below:

a.
Payment Earned. At the end of the Performance Period the cash payment actually awarded, if any, under the Agreement will equal the Target Cash Amount multiplied by the applicable Percentage of Cash Amount Earned, as provided in Section 5 above.

8.
Payment of Cash Award. To the extent, if any, the Cash Award is vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, the Cash Award shall be paid by the Corporation delivering to or in respect of the Grantee, subject to Sections 4 through 7 of this Agreement, a lump sum cash payment equal in aggregate, to the portion of the Cash Award vested pursuant to Sections 4 through 7, above. The lump sum cash payment shall be paid to or in respect of the Grantee as soon as practicable after (and in no case more than 30 days after) the vesting date as specified in Section 4 above.

10.
Termination of Grantee Status as a Participant. Entitlement to the Award, and any issuance of a cash payment thereunder, is subject to the Grantee remaining continuously employed through the Vesting Date, as provided in Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any provision of the Plan, if the Grantee terminates employment prior to the Vesting Date due to a [Qualified Retirement, which, “Qualified Retirement” means a termination from employment from the Navistar Companies that occurs (i) at any time after the first (12) twelve months and (1) one day after the grant date and (ii) after the Employee attains age 55 and at the time of the termination the Employee has either: (x) (10) ten or more years of continuous service as a full-time Employee, or (y) (10) ten or more years of service that would constitute credited service under the definition contained in the Navistar, Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees ("RPSE")], or if the Grantee terminates employment at any time prior to the Vesting Date due to death or permanent disability, as defined by the Corporation’s long term disability programs, after the Vesting Date, Grantee (or in the event of death, Xxxxxxx’s estate) will be entitled to a [pro rata portion of the Cash Award Grantee would have received, if any, had Grantee remained employed through the end of the Vesting Date. The pro rata portion will be based on the number of full months measured from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date during which Grantee was employed as compared to the total number of months measured from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date. If the Grantee terminates employment with the Corporation for any other reason, all rights to any Cash Award at the time of termination of employment shall be forfeited.]
 
11.
Transferability.  Except to the extent provided in the Plan in the case of the Grantee’s death, the Cash Award may neither be made subject to any encumbrance nor transferred by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise.
 
12.
Extraordinary Item; Coordination with Local Law.  By voluntarily acknowledging and accepting this Award, the Grantee acknowledges and understands that (a) the Cash Award is an extraordinary item relating to compensation for future services to the Navistar Companies and are not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services; (b) the Cash Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, service-based awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (c) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the Grantee’s involuntary termination of employment with the Navistar Companies, the Grantee’s right to receive future Cash Awards under the Plan and to vest in the Cash Award shall terminate as of the date that the Grantee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); provided, however, that to the extent the Grantee retains any right to continue to vest in the Cash Award pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement following such termination, the right to so vest shall be measured from the date the Grantee terminates active employment with the Navistar Companies and shall not be extended by any notice period under local law.

13.
No Guarantee of Continued Service.  Xxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Cash Award pursuant to this Agreement is earned only by continuing as an Employee at the will of the Navistar Companies (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or acquiring a cash payment under this Award). The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in the Award, nor in the Plan which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference, shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuation as an Employee with the Navistar Companies, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Navistar Companies right to terminate his or her employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

14.
Confidentiality. The Grantee agrees to not disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any other employees of the Navistar Companies or third parties with the exception of the Grantee’s accountants, attorneys, or spouse, and shall ensure that none of them discloses such existence or terms to any other person, except as required to comply with legal process.

15.
Non-Competition. In consideration of the Award granted under this Agreement which may become issuable pursuant to Sections 4 through 8 above, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the covenants of this Section 15.  The Grantee acknowledges that the covenants contained within this Section 15 are essential elements of this Agreement, and that, but for the agreement of the Grantee to comply with such covenants, the Corporation would not have entered into this Agreement.  The right to this Award shall be made with respect to the covenants of this Section 15 at such time(s) when all other terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied. The Grantee agrees that he or she shall:




At all times during the vesting period and for a period of (12) twelve months immediately following termination of employment for any reason, not, directly or indirectly (whether as owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise), provide services to any other business or organization anywhere in the United States of America or its territories, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, India and the People’s Republic of China, or any other country in which the Navistar Companies, directly or indirectly including but not limited to through a joint venture, strategic alliance or other similar arrangement, conducts business at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment that competes with the business of the Navistar Companies by (1) manufacturing, selling or servicing medium or heavy duty vehicles with diesel powered engines (including but not limited to commercial trucks, commercial buses, school buses, recreational vehicles, and military vehicles), parts or components for such vehicles, diesel powered engines for such vehicles, parts or components for diesel powered engines for such vehicles, or providing financing or financing-related services related to any such manufacturing, selling or servicing activities, or (2) providing other services or products which are the same as or substantially similar to those provided by the Navistar Companies at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment”); provided, however, that such restriction shall not prohibit the Grantee’s purchase or ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly-held company so long as such ownership is passive in nature.
