Notice Addresses and Procedures
THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT is made as of May 30,
1996 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 Navistar Financial
1996-A Owner Trust, a Delaware business trust (the "Issuer").
WHEREAS, NFC has sold the Receivables to the Seller pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the Receivables to the
Issuer in exchange for the Securities 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 Issuer wish to set forth the
terms pursuant to which the Receivables are to be sold by the
Seller to the Issuer 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:
ARTICLE I
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used
in the above recitals and in this Agreement are defined in and
shall have the respective meanings assigned them in Part I of
Appendix A to this Agreement. All references herein to "the
Agreement" or "this Agreement" are to this Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from
time to time, the exhibits hereto and the capitalized terms used
herein which are defined in such Appendix A, and all references
herein to Articles, Sections and subsections are to Articles,
Sections or subsections of this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. The rules of construction set forth in Part II of
such Appendix A shall be applicable to this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Receivables. In consideration
of the Issuer'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 and otherwise convey to the Issuer,
without recourse, pursuant to an assignment in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, all right, title and interest of the Seller
in, to and under:
(a) the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables
and all monies paid thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) and
due thereunder on and after the Cutoff Date;
(b) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted
by Obligors pursuant to the 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 Financed Vehicles;
(d) any proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect
to the Receivables;
(e) any proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to the
Receivables, proceeds from any NITC Purchase Obligations with
respect to the Receivables (subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03) and proceeds from any Guaranties of Receivables;
(f) the Purchase Agreement and the Custodian Agreement,
including the right of the Seller to cause NFC to perform its
obligations thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase
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 Agreement shall constitute a sale
of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and the
beneficial interest in and title to the Purchased Property 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 Purchased Property 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 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 Issuer
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 Agreement, and the Seller hereby grants
such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to
this Agreement 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 Agreement, including the immediate and
continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt
for principal and interest payments in respect of the Receivables
included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Agreement and
all other monies payable under the Receivables conveyed pursuant
to this Agreement, to give and receive notices and other
communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise
all rights 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 Agreement. For purposes of such grant, this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC.
SECTION 2.02. Custody of Receivable Files. In connection
with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the
Seller 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 with respect to each 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
(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 Section 2.01(f), the rights of the Seller under the
Custodian Agreement are being assigned to the Issuer.
SECTION 2.03. Acceptance by Issuer; Limitation on Transfer
of NITC Purchase Obligations. The Issuer does hereby accept all
consideration conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01,
and declares that the Issuer 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, Indenture and this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Issuer 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
Issuer pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) the Issuer 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
Issuer. The Issuer hereby agrees and accepts the appointment and
authorization of NFC as Servicer under Section 3.01. The parties
agree that this Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement
constitute the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements for
purposes of the Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties as to the
Receivables. Pursuant to Section 2.01(f), the Seller assigns to
the Issuer 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 Issuer 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. The Seller further acknowledges that the Issuer
relies 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, but shall survive the sale, transfer and
assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge
thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
SECTION 2.05. 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 2.04 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 (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 2.04
or Section 6.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from
the Issuer 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 2.05.
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 Issuer 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 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 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)(ii).
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. As of the Closing
Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following covenants on which
the Issuer 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:
(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 the related
Receivable;
(b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair
the rights of NFRRC or any Interested Party in and to the
Receivables; and
(c) No Modifications. The Servicer shall not amend or
otherwise modify any Receivable such that the Initial 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 October 31,
2002.
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 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. Each of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
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 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 Issuer,
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 Issuer 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 5.04,
(ii) second, to the Scheduled Payment 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.
ARTICLE IV

officer's certificate signed by the President or any Vice
President of the Servicer, dated as of the immediately preceding
October 31, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or, with respect
to the first such certificate, such period as shall have elapsed

performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (ii) to such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its

Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Issuer addressed
to the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee, respectively.
(b) The Servicer shall deliver to each Trustee and to the
Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge
thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days

event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01. The Seller
shall deliver to each Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating
Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge 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 or lapse of time, or both, would become a
Servicer Default under clause (b) of Section 8.01.
SECTION 4.02. Annual Independent Accountants' Report.

accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer
or the Seller, to deliver to each Trustee and the Rating
Agencies, on or before February 1 of each year, beginning

"Accountants' Report") addressed to the board of directors of the
Servicer and to each Trustee, to the effect that such firm has

with generally accepted auditing standards, (ii) included tests

the requirements of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage
Bankers (the "Program"), to the extent the procedures in the
Program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in
this Agreement and (iii) except as described in the report,
disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to
Retail Notes serviced for others that, in the firm's opinion,
paragraph four of the Program requires such firm to report.
(b) The Accountants' Report shall also indicate that the
firm is independent of the Seller and the Servicer within the
meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American

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. 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 and shall show by cross reference the prior account
numbers identifying such Receivables on the Schedule of
Receivables.
SECTION 4.05. Assignment of Administrative Receivables and
Warranty Receivables. Upon receipt of the Administrative
Purchase Payment or the 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 Person's right, title and interest in, to
and under (a) such Administrative Receivable or Warranty
Receivable and all monies due thereon, (b) the security interests
in the related Financed Vehicle and, to the extent permitted by
law, any accessions thereto which are financed by NFC, (c)
benefits of any lease assignments with respect to the Financed
Vehicles, (d) proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect
to such Receivable, (e) 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 Person
or the Issuer, as applicable, in certain rebates of premiums and
other amounts relating to the Insurance Policies and any document
relating thereto and (g) the rights of such Person 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.
SECTION 4.06. Distributions.
(a) On or before the day preceding each Determination Date,
with respect to the preceding Monthly Period and the related
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Total
Available Amount, Collected Interest, Collected Principal, the
Total Servicing Fee, the Aggregate Noteholders' Interest
Distributable Amount, the Aggregate Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount, the Certificateholders' Interest
Distributable Amount, the Certificateholders' Principal
Distributable Amount and all other amounts required to determine

(b) On or before the day preceding each Distribution Date,
the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be made the following

Account, the lesser of (A) the amount of cash or other
immediately available funds therein on the day preceding
such Distribution Date and (B) the amount, if any, by which
(I) the sum of the Total Servicing Fee, the Aggregate
Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount, the
Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount, the
Aggregate Noteholders' Principal Distributable Amount and
the Certificateholders' Principal Distributable Amount
exceeds (II) the Available Amount for such Distribution
Date.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06(d), before
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day preceding each
Distribution Date the Indenture Trustee (based on the information
contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered on the related
Determination Date pursuant to Section 3.10) shall make the
following distributions from the Collection Account (after the
withdrawals, deposits and transfers specified in Section 4.06(b)
have been made) in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Servicer, to the extent of the Total
Available Amount, the Total Servicing Fee;
(ii) second, to the Note Distribution Account, to the
extent of the Total Available Amount (as such amount has
been reduced by the distributions described in clause (i)
above), the Aggregate Noteholders' Interest Distributable
Amount;
(iii) third, to the Certificate Distribution
Account, to the extent of the Total Available Amount (as
such amount has been reduced by the distributions described
in clauses (i) and (ii) above), the Certificateholders'
Interest Distributable Amount;
(iv) fourth, to the Note Distribution Account, to the
extent of the Total Available Amount (as such amount has
been reduced by the distributions described in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above), the Aggregate Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount;
(v) fifth, to the Certificate Distribution Account, to
the extent of the Total Available Amount (as such amount has
been reduced by the distributions described in clauses (i)
through (iv), inclusive, above), the Certificateholders'
Principal Distributable Amount; and
(vi) sixth, to the Reserve Account, any portion of the
Total Available Amount remaining after the distributions
described in clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, above.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) at any time that the
Notes have not been paid in full and the principal balance of the
Notes has been declared immediately due and payable following the
occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.2 of the
Indenture, then until such time as the Notes have been paid in
full and the Indenture has been discharged with respect to the
Notes or all Events of Default have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 5.2(b) of the Indenture, no amounts shall be
deposited in or distributed to the Certificate Distribution
Account and (ii) from and after the occurrence of a Certificate
Lockout Event, until such time as the Notes have been paid in
full, no amounts in respect of the Certificateholders' Principal
Distributable Amount will be deposited in or distributed to the
Certificate Distribution Account. Any such amounts otherwise
distributable to the Certificate Distribution Account shall be
deposited instead to the Note Distribution Account as payments of
principal on the Notes.
SECTION 4.07. Reserve Account.
(a) 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
1996-A Owner Trust Reserve
Account (the "Reserve Account") to include
the money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant
to this Section 4.07(a), Section 4.07(c), and Section 4.06(c).
On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the Reserve Account
Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account
shall be the property of the Issuer subject to the rights of the
Indenture Trustee in the Reserve Account Property.
(b) If the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on any
Distribution 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 distribute an
amount equal to any such excess to the Seller. The Seller may at
any time, without consent of the Securityholders, sell, transfer,
convey or assign in any manner its
rights to and interests in distributions from the Reserve
Account, including interest earnings thereon, provided that
certain conditions are satisfied, including: (i) such action will
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
class of Notes or Certificates, (ii) the Seller provides to the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of independent
counsel that such action will not cause the Trust to be treated
as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation for Federal income tax purposes, and (iii) such
transferee or assignee agrees to take positions for tax purposes
consistent with the tax positions agreed to be taken by the
Seller.
(c) If the Servicer, pursuant to Section 5.04, 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 5.04 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 5.02 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 to be
distributed by the applicable recipient to such remitting party.
Nonetheless, each such party shall account for all of the above
described 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 with each distribution to each
Noteholder, a statement (which statement shall also be provided
to the Rating Agencies) based on information in the Servicer's
Certificate furnished pursuant to Section 3.10. Each such
statement to be delivered to Certificateholders shall set forth
the following information as to the Certificates with respect to
such Distribution Date or the preceding Monthly Period, as
applicable. Each such statement to be delivered to Noteholders
shall set forth the following information as to the Notes with
respect to such Distribution Date or the preceding Monthly
Period:

interest on or with respect to each class of Securities;
(ii) the Aggregate Receivables Balance as of the close
of business on the last day of such Monthly Period;
(iii) the amount of Outstanding Monthly Advances
with respect to all Receivables on such Distribution Date;
(iv) the amount of the Total Servicing Fee paid or
payable to the Servicer with respect to the related Monthly
Period;
(v) the amount of Aggregate Losses for the related
Monthly Period;
(vi) the Delinquency Percentage for the related Monthly
Period;
(vii) the sum of all Administrative Purchase
Payments and all Warranty Payments made for the related
Monthly Period;
(viii) the amount of the distribution allocable to
principal of each class of Notes and to the Certificate
Balance of each class of Certificates;
(ix) the Note Principal Balance and the Note Pool
Factor for each class of Notes, and the Certificate Balance
and the Certificate Pool Factor for each class of
Certificates, each after giving effect to all payments
reported under (viii) above on such date;
(x) the amounts, if any, paid to the Servicer or
distributed to Securityholders from amounts on deposit in
the Reserve Account;
(xi) the amount of the Noteholders' Interest Carryover
Shortfall, the Noteholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall,
the Certificateholders' Interest Carryover Shortfall and the
Certificateholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall, if any,
and the change in such amounts from the preceding
Distribution Date; and
(xii) the balance (if any) of the Reserve Account
on such date, after giving effect to distributions,
withdrawals, transfers and deposits made on such date, and
the change in such balance from that of the prior
Distribution Date.
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 or the initial Certificate
Balance, as applicable. In lieu of preparing and delivering a
separate statement to Securityholders pursuant to this Section, a
Trustee may deliver a copy of the Servicer's Certificate
furnished pursuant to Section 3.10.
(b) Within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting
purposes after 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 mail to each Person
who at any time during such calendar year shall have been a
holder of Notes or Certificates, respectively, and received any
payments thereon, a statement prepared and supplied by the
Servicer containing the sum of the
amounts set forth in each of clauses (i), (iv), (viii), (x) and
(xi), for such calendar year or, if such Person shall have been a
Securityholder during a portion of such calendar year and
received any payments thereon, for the applicable portion of
such year, for the purposes of such Securityholder's preparation
of federal income tax returns.
SECTION 4.10. Information Provided to Rating Agencies. In
addition to receiving any information or documents required to be
delivered to any Rating Agency pursuant to any Basic Document,
each Rating Agency may request in writing to the Servicer, and
the Servicer shall deliver, reasonable additional information
necessary to the Rating Agencies to monitor the Securities.
Promptly, but 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.

CERTIFICATEHOLDER AND NOTEHOLDER STATEMENTS AND 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 1996-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.
(ii) 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
1996-A Owner Trust Note
Distribution 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 at Chemical Bank in the name of the Owner
Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar
Financial 1996-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.
(a) (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 5.02) 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 Standard
& Poor's Ratings Services 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 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 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. Investment Earnings
on funds deposited in the Designated Accounts shall be payable to
the Seller 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.
(i) With respect to the Designated Account Property,
the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) any Designated Account Property that is held
in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible
Deposit Accounts; and each such Eligible Deposit
Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and
control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture
Trustee shall have sole signature authority with
respect thereto;
(B) any Designated Account Property that
constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (i) of
the definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending
maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture
Trustee or a financial intermediary (as such term is
defined in Section 8-313(4) of the UCC) acting solely
for the Indenture Trustee;
(C) any Designated Account Property that is a
book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve
System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall
be delivered in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the
definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the
Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition,
through continued book-entry registration of such
Designated Account Property as described in such
paragraph;
(D) any Designated Account Property that is an
"uncertificated security" under Article 8 of the UCC
and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with
paragraph (iii) of the definition of "Delivery" and
shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending
maturity or disposition, through continued registration
of the Indenture Trustee's (or its nominee's) ownership
of such security; and
(E) the Indenture Trustee shall maintain each
item of Designated Account Property in the particular
Designated Account to which such item originated and
shall not commingle items from different Designated
Accounts.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each other
Eligible Deposit Institution with whom a Designated Account or
the Certificate Deposit 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. 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 Standard & Poor's Ratings Services 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
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
Notes as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or from
Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less the 25%
of the Voting Interests thereof 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 5.03. Investment Earnings and Supplemental
Servicing Fees. Except as otherwise provided in Section
5.01(b)(1) hereof, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive all
Supplemental Servicing Fees, and the Seller shall be entitled to
receive all Investment Earnings, when and as paid without any
obligation to (a) either Trustee, (b) with respect to the
Supplemental Servicing Fees, the Seller or (c) with respect to
the Investment Earnings, the Servicer, in respect thereof.
Neither the Servicer nor the Seller will 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 held
by either Trustee, or otherwise established hereunder, such
amount will be withdrawn therefrom and paid to the Servicer or
the Seller, 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 5.04. 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 held by the Issuer.
SECTION 5.05. Additional Deposits. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 5.04. 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.

Transfer and Servicing Agreements or, in the case of the
Seller, the Custodian Agreement or the Administration
Agreement.
(b) Representations and Warranties of the Seller Only.
(i) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold,
transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person
other than the Issuer; immediately prior to the conveyance
of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement the Seller had
good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien (except
for any Lien which may have existed in accessions to the
Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC); and, upon execution
and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the Issuer
shall have all of the right, title and interest of the
Seller in, to and under the Purchased Property free of any
Lien (except for any Lien which may exist in accessions to
the Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC);
(ii) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC
filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a
first priority perfected security or ownership interest in
the Purchased Property (to the extent it constitutes Code
Collateral) shall have been made, and the Receivables
constitute Code Collateral; and
(iii) Valid Sale. This Agreement, when duly
executed and delivered, shall constitute a valid sale,
transfer and assignment of the Purchased Property,
enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the
Seller.
(c) Representations and Warranties of the Servicer Only.
(i) Liquidation Expenses. The amounts defined as
"Liquidation Expenses" are a reasonable estimate of such
expenses, reasonably related to the Servicer's experience
for such expenses in servicing comparable medium and heavy
duty truck, bus and trailer receivables.
(ii) Purchase Agreement Representations. The
representations and warranties in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of
the Purchase Agreement are true as of the Closing
thereunder.
SECTION 6.02. Liability of Seller. The Seller shall be
liable in accordance with this Agreement only to the extent of
the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by the
Seller.

or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Seller shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the
business of the Seller, or (iv) more than 50% of the voting stock
of which is owned directly or indirectly by NIC, which
corporation in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement
of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under
this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Seller under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any
further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.
The Seller shall provide 10 days' prior notice of any merger,
consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 6.03 to the
Rating Agencies.
(b) The Seller hereby agrees that during the term of this
Agreement it shall not amend Articles Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Twelfth or Fourteenth of its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation without obtaining the prior written consent of the
Rating Agencies or without obtaining the prior written consent of
Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes as of the close of the preceding
Distribution Date and the prior written consent of the
Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence a majority of the
Voting Interests of such Certificates as of the close of the
preceding Distribution Date; provided, however, the Seller may
amend the foregoing Articles of its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation without the prior written consent of the Rating
Agencies, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or either
Trustee for the purpose of:
(i) permitting the Seller (A) to enter into an addendum
to the Tax Allocation Agreement effective October 1, 1981
among NITC and certain of its subsidiaries, as amended and
supplemented (the "Tax Allocation Agreement"), such addendum
to be substantially similar to the Fourth Addendum to the
Tax Allocation Agreement effective April 26, 1993 among
NITC, NFC and Navistar Financial Securities Corporation and
(B) to incur other indebtedness where the person to whom the
indebtedness is owing has delivered to the corporation an
undertaking that it will not institute against, or join any
other Person in instituting against, the corporation any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding or other proceeding under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law, and that it will not
look to property or assets of the corporation in respect to
such obligations, and that such obligations shall not
constitute a claim against the corporation in the event that
the corporation's assets are insufficient to pay in full
such obligations, in each case for one year and one day
after the date on which all rated securities issued pursuant
to Agreements (other than any such securities held by the
corporation); and
(ii) including within the meaning of "Receivables" as
used in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation any
instalment sale contracts, loans, notes, leases, accounts or
other rights to payment from retail customers in respect of
trucks, buses, trailers and related equipment (including
notes of dealers and other persons that finance the
acquisition by such dealer or other person of a truck, bus,
trailer or related equipment that is leased to a third
person or persons).
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.
The Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent of
the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on
any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this
Agreement. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its obligations as Seller of the Receivables under
this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability.
SECTION 6.05. Seller May Own Securities. Each of the
Seller and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Seller may in its individual or any other
capacity become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same
rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate
thereof except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Except
as otherwise provided herein, Securities so owned by or pledged
to the Seller or such controlling or commonly controlled Person
shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the
provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or
distinction as among all of such Securities.

damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting
from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof of any Financed Vehicle;
(ii) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Trustee and the Issuer from and against any
taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such
Person with respect to the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, including any sales, gross receipts, general
corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or

respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the

expenses in defending against the same;
(iii) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Trustee, the Issuer and the Securityholders
from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,
claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such
cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out
of, or was imposed upon such Trustee, the Issuer or the
Securityholders through the negligence, willful misfeasance
or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its
duties under this Agreement and any other Transfer and
Servicing Agreements or by reason of reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under any of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements; and
(iv) The Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee in
its capacity as successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02
hereof) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
Trustee and their respective agents, officers, directors and
servants, from and against all costs, expenses, losses,
claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred
in connection with (x) in the case of the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee's performance of its duties under the
Basic Documents, (y) in the case of the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee's performance of its duties under the

Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Indenture (in the case
of the Indenture Trustee), including the administration of
the Trust Estate, and the Trust Agreement (in the case of
the Owner Trustee), including the administration of the
Owner Trust Estate, except in each case to the extent that
such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability: (A)
is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
(except for errors in judgment) of the Person seeking to be
indemnified, (B) to the extent otherwise payable to the
Indenture Trustee, arises from the Indenture Trustee's
breach of any of its representations or warranties in
Section 6.13 of the Indenture or (C) to the extent otherwise
payable to the Owner Trustee, arises from the Owner
Trustee's breach of any of its representations or warranties

(b) Indemnification under this Section 7.01 shall survive
the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee or the termination of this Agreement and shall include
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments
pursuant to this Section 7.01 and the recipient thereafter
collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall
promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without
interest.
SECTION 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of
the Obligations of, the Servicer. Any corporation (a) into which
the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer
shall be a party, (c) succeeding
to the business of the Servicer, or (d) more than 50% of the
voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by NIC and
which is otherwise servicing the Seller's receivables, which
corporation in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement
of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under
this Agreement shall be the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. The
Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or
succession pursuant to this Section 7.02 to the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of Servicer and
Others.
(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or
officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Issuer or 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, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence (except errors in judgment) in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties under the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. The Servicer and any director, officer or employee
or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of
counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising under this Agreement.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to
service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and
that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable
action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this
Agreement and the interests of the Securityholders under this
Agreement and the Noteholders and (to the extent expressly
provided therein) the Certificateholders under the Indenture and
the interests of the Certificateholders under the Trust
Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs for such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Issuer 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 to the Reserve
Account pursuant to Section 4.06(c)(vi) and before any
distribution to the Seller pursuant to Section 4.07(b); provided,
however, that the Applicable Trustee shall not distribute 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 this Agreement to any
corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned,
directly or indirectly, by NIC. The Servicer may at any time
perform specific duties as Servicer through sub-contractors who
are in the business of servicing medium and heavy duty truck, bus
and trailer receivables; provided, however, that no such
delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with
respect to such duties.
SECTION 7.05. Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the
provisions of Section 8.02, the Servicer shall not resign from
the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as
Servicer except upon determination that the performance of its
duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to each Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or
a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02.
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
SECTION 8.01. Servicer Defaults. Each of the following
shall constitute a "Servicer Default":
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit in any of the Designated Accounts or to the
Owner Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account
any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make
any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues
unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written
notice is received by the Servicer from the applicable Trustee or
after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;
(b) failure on the part of the Seller or the Servicer to
duly observe or perform in any material respect any other
covenants or agreements of the Seller or the Servicer set forth
in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements which failure (i)
materially and adversely affects the rights of Securityholders,
and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller or the
Servicer, as applicable, by either Trustee, or to the Seller or
the Servicer, as applicable, and to either Trustee by Noteholders
whose Notes evidence not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date
(or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by Certificateholders
whose
Certificates evidence not less than 25% of the Voting Interests
as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date);
(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator for the
Seller or the Servicer, in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or
for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs,
and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in
effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) the consent by the Seller or the Servicer to the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller
or the Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of their
respective property; or the Seller or the Servicer shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations.
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 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
Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less than a
majority of the Voting Interests 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 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 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 bus,
truck 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.
SECTION 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Noteholders whose
Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the 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,
Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less than a
majority of the Voting Interests 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 5.04 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 the Aggregate
Receivables Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Aggregate
Receivables Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to
purchase the assets of the Trust 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 held by the Trust
(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
held by the Trust (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 and the
Certificate Distribution Account) must be at least equal to the
aggregate Redemption Price of the outstanding Notes to be
redeemed with such proceeds plus the sum of the Certificate
Balance and the Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount
for the Distribution Date related to the Monthly Period in which
such option is exercised. Thereupon, the Servicer shall succeed
to all interests in and to the Trust (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
Trust pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Trust Agreement (an
"Insolvency Sale") or Article V of the Indenture (an "Event of
Default Sale"), the Servicer shall instruct the Applicable
Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such Insolvency Sale or
other disposition after all payments and reserves therefrom have
been made or,
with respect to an Event of Default Sale, the amount specified in
clause SECOND of Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture (in either case,
the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the day
preceding the Distribution Date on which the Insolvency 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 Insolvency 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 Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount not
otherwise deposited into the Note Distribution Account on
the day preceding such Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Note Distribution Account, the Aggregate
Note Principal Balance (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 Certificate Distribution Account, any
portion of the Certificateholders' Interest Distributable
Amount not otherwise deposited into the Certificate
Distribution Account on the day preceding such Distribution
Date; and
(iv) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the
Certificate Balance (after giving effect to the reduction in
the Certificate Balance to result from the deposits made in
the Certificate Distribution Account on the day preceding
such 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 Insolvency
Proceeds remaining after the deposits described above shall be
paid to the Seller.
(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 Securityholders and
the Servicer of all amounts required to be paid under this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, 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 paid to the Seller and any other assets
remaining in the Trust shall be distributed to the Seller.
ARTICLE X
