that for each
Business Day of a Due Period occurring during the Accumulation Period, the
amount of Investor Principal Collections deposited in the Series Principal
Account on such Business Day, when added to the amount of Investor
Principal Collections previously deposited in the Series Principal Account
during such Due Period, shall not exceed the Controlled Deposit Amount for
such

extent necessary to maintain the Master Trust Seller’s Interest at an amount
equal to (or, in the discretion of the Seller, greater than) the Minimum Master
Trust Seller’s Interest and (iii) to the Seller. If shared seller
principal collections for all Series, including Series 1997-1 Shared Seller
Principal Collections, are less than the shortfalls for which shared seller
principal collections may be used, including any Series 1997-1 Accumulation
Period Principal Shortfall, then such shared seller principal collections will
be allocated to all such shortfalls, including any Series 1997-1 Accumulation
Period Principal Shortfall, pro rata based on the
relative amounts of each such shortfall.
(iv) “Series
1997-1 Shared Seller Principal Collections” means on each business day (i)
during a Revolving Period, all Available Seller’s Principal Collections and all
Excess Seller’s Principal Collections and (ii) during an Accumulation Period,

that, if the
aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such
Business Day is less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for
all
Series for such Business Day, then Series 1997-1 Shared Principal Collections
for such Business Day shall equal the product of (x) Shared Principal
Collections for all Series for such Business Day and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Series 1997-1 Principal Shortfall for such Business
Day and denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls
for

Series
1997-1 Certificateholders. On each Transfer Date, after all
allocations to the Distribution Account and the Series Principal Account for
the

accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall transfer to the
Distribution Account the funds on deposit in the Series Principal Account and
shall make, without duplication, the following distributions from the
Distribution Account:
(a) Interest
Distributions. On each Distribution Date (including the
Expected Payment Date), Monthly Interest will be distributed to the Series
1997-1 Certificateholders as accrued interest on the 1997-1
Certificates. To the extent any interest is due but not distributed
on any such Distribution Date, such amount will be distributed on the following
Distribution Date, along with, to the extent permitted by law, interest at
the
Certificate Rate on such amount.
(b) Expected
Payment

Accumulation Period Commencement Date and, promptly following such
determination, the Servicer shall notify the Master Trust Trustee and the Rating

E-353
SECTION
IV.12 Partial Month Due
Period. The allocation and distribution provisions in this
Series Supplement are based upon the assumptions that each Due Period will
be a
calendar month and that each Due Period will have a unique related Transfer
Date
and Distribution Date. However, under certain circumstances (such as
the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, the Revolving Period could end
on
a date other than the last day of a calendar month (the period from the first
day of such month (the "Subject Month") to and including the date of such
occurrence being referred to herein as the "Revolving Due Period"), and an
Early
Amortization Period could commence on a date other than the first day of a
calendar month (the period from such other date until the last day of the
Subject Month being the "Amortizing Due Period"). If such a
circumstance occurs, then the Servicer, the Seller and the Master Trust Trustee
shall observe the following rules:
(i) the
Transfer Date for both the Revolving Due Period and the Amortizing Due Period
shall be the date on which the Transfer Date would have occurred if the Subject
Month had been an ordinary Due Period;
(ii) the
allocations and distributions of Finance Charge Collections (and all items
derived from Finance Charge Collections, such as Available Certificateholder
Interest Collections and Available Seller's Finance Charge Collections) and
Dealer Note Losses occurring during the Subject Month shall be made as if the
Subject Month were one Due Period, without any distinction between the Revolving
Due Period and the Amortizing Due Period; and
(iii) two
separate sets of allocations and distributions of Principal Collections (and
all
items derived from Principal Collections, such as Investor Principal Collections
and Seller's Principal Collections) shall be made on such Transfer Date,
according to whether such Principal Collections were received during the
Revolving Due Period (in which case allocations and distributions shall be
made
as provided in Sections 4.08(a) and (c)) or the Amortizing Due Period (in which
case allocations and distributions shall be made as provided in Sections 4.08(b)
and (d)).
E-354
SECTION
IV.13 Additional Rights
upon the
Occurrence of Certain Events. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 9.02(a) of the Agreement, if any insolvency event occurs with respect
to the Seller, Navistar International Corporation, Navistar International
Transportation Corporation or Navistar Financial Corporation on the day of
such
insolvency event, the Seller will (subject to the actions of the
Certificateholders) immediately cease to transfer Dealer Notes to the 1990
Trust
or the Master Trust, as applicable, and promptly give notice to the Master
Trust
Trustee of such insolvency event. Under the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, if an insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller
after the 1990 Trust Termination Date but prior to the date on which the Series
1995-1 investor certificates issued by the Master Trust have been paid in full,
then within 15 days the Master Trust Trustee will publish a notice of such
insolvency event stating that the Master Trust Trustee intends to sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Dealer Notes in a commercially reasonable
manner and on commercially reasonable terms, unless within a specified period
of
time Certificate holders representing more than 50% of the aggregate series
invested amount of the certificates of each such Series and each person holding
a Supplemental Certificate, instruct the Master Trust Trustee not to sell,
dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Dealer Notes and to continue transferring
Dealer Notes as before such insolvency event.
SECTION
IV.14 Voting of the Master
Trust’s
Interests in the 1990 Trust. The Master Trust Trustee will
have the right, without the consent of the Certificateholders, to vote, or
to
consent or withhold consent with respect to, the Class A-5 Investor Certificate
and any other Investor Certificate on any matter for which votes or consents
are
solicited under the 1990 Trust Agreement, provided that such action will not,
as
evidenced by an officer’s certificate of the Servicer, have a material adverse
effect on the Certificateholders of any Series. The Master Trust
Trustee will also have the right, with the consent of the Applicable Voting
Percentage of the Certificateholders, to vote, or to consent or withhold
consent, with respect to the Class A-5 Investor Certificate and any other
Investor Certificate on any matter for which votes or consents are solicited
under the 1990 Trust Agreement.
“Applicable
Voting Percentage” means, with respect to any matter for which votes or consents
are solicited under the 1990 Trust Agreement, the percentage of votes or
