THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of December 16, 2009, by and between XXXXX FARGO EQUIPMENT FINANCE, INC., a Minnesota corporation, its successors and assigns (“Lender”), and NAVISTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, its successors and permitted assigns (“Borrower”).
WHEREAS,
Borrower has entered into those certain Retail Notes (as defined herein) transactions and has become the beneficial owner of the right, title and interest of Navistar Leasing Company in and to those certain Retail Leases (as defined herein) transactions, including, without limitation, all rights to receive payments and all collateral therefor, described in Schedule 1 attached hereto.
Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower now desires to borrow, and Lender is willing to make to Borrower, the Loan secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on the Portfolio (as defined herein) of Retail Notes and Retail Leases described in Schedule 1 attached hereto and certain other collateral described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Any term used in the UCC and not defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to the term in the UCC, as now or hereafter adopted.
2. Advance of Loan.
2.1 Loan. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree that Lender shall make a loan to Borrower in the principal amount set forth in Annex B attached hereto (the “Loan”); and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Lender to pay the amount of the Loan to the Borrower at Borrower’s account specified on Annex C attached hereto.
2.2 Promissory Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note payable by Borrower to the order of Lender in the original principal amount of the Loan (as amended, restated, supplemented, renewed and extended from time to time, the “Note”). The Loan shall bear interest, be payable and mature as set forth in the Note.
1
3. Payments and Security.
3.1 Interest.
(a) Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan from the date on which the Loan proceeds are disbursed until paid in full, at the Interest Rate, payable on each Repayment Date as specified on Annex B attached hereto and made a part hereof and on the Maturity Date. Upon acceleration of the Loan pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay on demand interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan and other amounts then due and payable to Lender under the Transaction Documents at the Default Rate, from the date of the applicable Event of Default until the earlier of (x) the date such Event of Default no longer exists or (y) the Loan is repaid in full.
(b) Calculating Interest. Interest for any period under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall (1) include the first day of such period and exclude the last day of such period, and (2) be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days; provided, that interest from the Closing Date until the first Repayment Date shall be paid on January 19, 2010.
3.2 Payments.
(a) Principal and Interest. Until the Loan shall be repaid, prepaid or discharged in full under the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall repay the Loan (1) in installments consisting of principal and accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan payable on each Repayment Date as specified on Annex B attached hereto and made a part hereof, and (2) a final installment on the Maturity Date in the amount of all unpaid principal, and all interest then outstanding, together with any and all other fees, expenses, and costs due Lender under this Agreement, the Note, and the Transaction Documents. All interest that is not paid when due shall be due on demand.
(b) Application of Loan Payments. All amounts from time to time received by Lender under this Agreement and the Note shall be applied: first, to any unpaid out-of-pocket costs or expenses of Lender incurred in connection with or arising out of (i) any request by the Borrower to amend, confirm or consent to any matter with regard to, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, the Transaction Documents, the Portfolio Documents, the Financed Vehicles or any other Collateral, (ii) any action taken by Lender that it is expressly authorized to take under any Transaction Document, or any Portfolio Document (either directly or as assignee thereof), and (iii) the failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 6.8 hereof; second, to unpaid late charges payable pursuant to the Note; third, to any interest then due and payable on the Note; fourth, to principal in accordance with the Note; and fifth, to any other Obligations then due and payable.
3.3 Prepayments.
(a) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall prepay the Loan at the times and in the amounts required pursuant to Section 6.11(b)(x) of this Agreement.
(b) Optional Prepayments. Except (i) as expressly provided in this Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.6, and (ii) with funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral
2
Account, Borrower may not prepay the Loan during the first eighteen (18) months of the Loan. Thereafter, the Borrower may prepay the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan in full, but not in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts then due and owing under this Agreement (it being understood that no Make Whole Amount shall be payable in connection with a prepayment pursuant to this sentence or with respect to the application of funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account). Prior to the eighteenth (18th) month of the term of the Loan, upon either (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred and the Lender shall be exercising remedies or (y) a Servicer Default shall have occurred and the Lender has delivered to Servicer a Termination Notice, the Borrower may prepay the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan in full, but not in part, together with the Make Whole Amount, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other amounts then due and owing under this Agreement.
3.4 Other Payment Terms.
(a) Reinstatement. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or Proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to Borrower or any other Person, then, to such extent, the Obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or Proceeds had not been received by Lender. Lender’s records as to the outstanding principal balance at any time, including any restored principal pursuant to this Section 3.4(a), shall be deemed correct absent manifest error.
(b) Place and Manner.
(1) All payments required to be made to Lender hereunder, under the Note, or under any other Transaction Document shall be made on or before the date due in Dollars by wire transfer in good, immediately available funds to the applicable account designated by Lender on Annex C attached hereto and made a part hereof (or to such other account as Lender shall have specified in writing to Borrower not less than three (3) Business Days prior to any payment).
(2) All payments by Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without deduction by reason of any defense, setoff, recoupment, or counterclaim of any kind, nature, or description whatever; provided, however, that in the event that on any Repayment Date Borrower has paid an amount greater than what was due and payable by Borrower on such Repayment Date, unless Lender returns the portion of such payment in excess of the amount due and payable on such Repayment Date, Borrower may reduce the next payment due and owing by Borrower in an amount equal to such excess.
3
(c) Non-Business Days. All payments falling due on a non-Business Day shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day and, if such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment during such extension (but for the avoidance of doubt, interest shall continue to accrue on all other amounts outstanding under the Transaction Documents during such extension).
(d) Overdue Payments. Should Borrower fail to pay any amount on the due date for payment thereof, whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, then in addition to any other amount or fees which may become payable hereunder, under the Note, or under any other Transaction Document, Borrower shall pay, without duplication of the interest owed pursuant to Section 3.1, interest on such sum from the due date up to and including the date of actual payment at an annual interest rate equal to the Default Rate.
(e) Prohibition on Reborrowing. Once repaid or prepaid, as the case may be, principal amounts cannot be reborrowed.
3.5 Change in Circumstances.
(a) Beyond Control. Lender shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from a legal enactment or any measure of a public authority, or war, or strike, or boycott, or blockade or any other cause beyond its control.
(b) Increased Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, but without prejudice to all other rights and obligations hereunder, if at any time an event should occur or circumstances arise or a state of affairs exist to which the provisions of any of Sections 3.5(a) or 3.6 hereof apply, then each party hereby undertakes to the other to consult and cooperate in good faith with that other party and use all reasonable endeavors to undertake such measures (including, without limitation, the transfer of the Loan to an affiliate or subsidiary of Lender located in another jurisdiction) as may be lawful and reasonably practicable (at no cost to Lender and provided always that Lender’s interests hereunder are not thereby materially prejudiced) to avoid or mitigate the effects of such event, circumstances or state of affairs.
3.6 Taxes on Payments.
All payments under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for, any taxes (other than those based on or measured by Lender’s net income or receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on doing business, taxes in the nature of a minimum or alternative minimum tax or a tax on or measured by items of tax preference) now or hereafter imposed by or within any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any governmental rule or regulation or any administrative subdivision or taxing authority thereof or herein, respectively, unless Borrower is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional
4
amounts as shall result in the effective receipt by Lender of the gross amount of all sums due Lender hereunder and under the Note had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any additional amount with respect to United States withholding taxes imposed as a result of any transfer, assignment or grant of a participation in Lender’s rights hereunder to a foreign party; and, provided, further, that in the event that Borrower is required to make a payment of a material amount to Lender pursuant to this Section 3.6, Borrower may exercise its prepayment rights under Section 3.3(b).
3.7 Collateral; Custodian and Collateral Agent.
As security for the payment as and when due of the Obligations, Borrower hereby collaterally assigns, transfers, and conveys to Lender, and grants a security interest to Lender in, all of Borrower’s rights, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) the Retail Notes set forth in the Composite Schedule of Contracts and the Related Retail Note Assets associated with such Retail Notes; (b) the Series 2009-WFEFI Portfolio Interest and the beneficial interest in the Series 2009-WFEFI Portfolio Assets, including the Retail Leases set forth in the Composite Schedule of Contracts, the Related Titling Trust Assets associated with such Retail Leases and the Series 2009-WFEFI Portfolio Certificate; (c) any and all payments due under the Retail Notes and Retail Leases after the Cutoff Date; (d) all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Collection Account and the Cash Collateral Account and any amounts from time to time in such accounts; (e) the Portfolio Documents, including, among other things, the right to receive notices and financial information, to give or withhold consents or waivers, to declare or waive any default and/or exercise all remedies thereunder and to take any and all other actions associated with the Portfolio Documents or the Financed Vehicles; and (f) all Proceeds of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise the rights of Borrower, as lessor and lender, pursuant to the Portfolio Documents, and, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may retain any amounts it receives by exercising such rights. Until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full or the Servicer Termination Date, Lender appoints Borrower, and Borrower agrees to act, as Lender’s custodian and collateral agent with respect to the Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement and shall not take any action in connection with the servicing of the Collateral. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Navistar Purchase Obligations are personal to Borrower and only the proceeds of such rights have been pledged to Lender, and that Lender is not and is not intended to be a third-party beneficiary of such rights, and accordingly, such rights will not be exercisable by, enforceable by or for the benefit of, or preserved for the benefit of Lender.

There has been no Material Modification of any Portfolio Document except as disclosed in writing to Lender.

As of the Reporting Date, no Portfolio Obligor is greater than 120 days past due under the applicable Portfolio Document(s) (measured from the date of any Scheduled Payment). Each Retail Note and Retail Lease is an Eligible Contract.
(d) The Borrower has not heretofore alienated, assigned, granted a Lien in, or otherwise disposed of any interest in the Collateral or conveyed any right to any Person which has not been terminated or released that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under a Portfolio Document or otherwise impaired the rights of Lender in any item of the Portfolio or the proceeds thereof, or the other Collateral, other than (i) the applicable Portfolio Obligor’s rights and interests under the respective Retail Leases and Retail Notes, (ii) the rights and interests of lessees under the Idealease Chattel Paper with respect to Idealease Transactions, (iii) Lender’s Liens under the Transaction Documents, and (iv) Permitted Liens.

No Portfolio Document was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the security interest in such Portfolio Document granted by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement.
(g) To the Borrower’s knowledge, none of the Financed Vehicles has suffered a casualty or other Event of Loss. As of the Reporting Date, none of the Portfolio Obligor’s obligations under the applicable Portfolio Documents has been satisfied in full, subordinated or rescinded. In the case of the Retail Notes, no Financed Vehicle securing any Retail Note has been released from the Lien of the related Portfolio Document in whole or in part.
(h) All taxes collected by Borrower from the Portfolio Obligors with respect to the Portfolio Documents have been, or when collected in good and indefeasible funds will be, paid by Borrower to the appropriate tax authorities in a timely fashion.

(k) Each Portfolio Obligor was at the time of origination of the applicable Portfolio Documents in compliance with the insurance requirements of such Portfolio Documents. Under the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer monitors compliance with applicable insurance requirements of the relevant Portfolio Documents in accordance with its customary policies and procedures and the Conflict Standard. The Collateral Agent is named as loss payee and the Titling Trust is named as an additional insured with respect to the insurance policies maintained by each Portfolio Obligor under a Retail Lease. Each Portfolio Obligor on a Portfolio Document is required to maintain a physical damage insurance policy for each Financed Vehicle of the type that Borrower requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards for the purchase or lease of a Vehicle, unless Borrower has in accordance with its customary procedures permitted a Portfolio Obligor to self insure such Financed Vehicle.
(l) There is only one original executed copy of each Portfolio Document constituting chattel paper. Borrower (including in its capacity as servicer or custodian) has sole possession of all chattel paper of each lease and/or lease schedule in the Portfolio Documents (other than any Idealease Chattel Paper). Borrower has marked its computer records relating to each item of the Portfolio to show that a security interest in such item of the Portfolio has been granted to Lender by Borrower hereunder. No Portfolio Document, or constituent part thereof, constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such terms are used in the UCC).
(m) To the extent there are or were at any time multiple Portfolio Obligors with respect to any item of the Portfolio, other than in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business or as disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower has not released any such Portfolio Obligor.
(n) Each Portfolio Document has been serviced in conformity with all applicable laws, rules and regulation and in conformity with Borrower’s policies and procedures, in each case, in all material respects and subject to the Conflict Standard.

13
eleven or fewer months of each twelve-month period that fully amortize the amount financed over its original term to maturity. “Equal Payment Balloon Receivables” are Receivables that provide for equal monthly payments except that a larger payment becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables. “Level Principal Fully Amortizing Receivables” are Receivables that provide for monthly payments consisting of level principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivables Balances. “Level Principal Skip Receivables” are Receivables that provide for monthly payments in eleven or fewer months of each twelve-month period consisting of level principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivables Balances. “Level Principal Balloon Receivables” are Receivables that provide for monthly payments consisting of level principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivables Balances, except that a larger principal payment becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables. “Other Receivables” are Receivables not described above, including Receivables that provide for level monthly payments in eleven or fewer months of each twelve-month period that amortize a portion of the amount financed over its original term to maturity with a larger payment that becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables;

In the case of each Retail Note, such Retail Note is secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or, in the event any such Retail Note is secured by more than one
14
Financed Vehicle, in each related Financed Vehicle, each in favor of Borrower as secured party, or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that will result, in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in each related Financed Vehicle in favor of Borrower as secured party in each case (except for Permitted Liens).

Borrower has the power to grant the security assignment, security interest and other interests constituting Lender’s Lien in the Collateral.
(e) There are, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no Liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Collateral that are or may be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest granted hereby to the Lender in the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens).

6. Covenants of Borrower.
So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
6.1 Existence.
Borrower shall maintain its existence, good standing and qualification to do business where required for the conduct of its business except when a failure to maintain such qualification would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower covenants and
16
agrees that it shall not without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any merger (other than a merger in which either (x) the Borrower is the surviving entity or (y) no Change in Control results therefrom) or consolidation with, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that the successor entity assumes all of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by operation of law, or if not by operation of law, then pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, and immediately after such merger the successor entity is no less creditworthy (as reasonably determined by the Lender) than Borrower was immediately prior to such merger. Borrower shall not change its name, identity, corporate structure or state of incorporation and shall not change its state of location for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC, in each case without giving Lender at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and shall within the time period required file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.
6.2 Notice of Default.
Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of an Event of Default or of any event or condition which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, of which it has knowledge, and of the action that Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
6.3 Payment of Taxes.
Borrower shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or the Collateral or on its income or profits or on any of its property prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except that it will not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy if payment thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, adequate book reserves have been set aside, and the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
6.4 Compliance with Laws Generally.
Borrower shall comply with the requirements of all Applicable Laws, rules, regulations, including, without limitation, all requirements and orders of any court, governmental body or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over it or its property, a breach of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.5 Liens.
Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (including the assignment or sale of the right to receive any income) upon any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. Borrower shall not sell, transfer or assign any of the Collateral, or agree to any sale, transfer or assignment of any of the Collateral, to any
17
Person other than Lender (except as expressly permitted by the provisions of this Agreement or the Portfolio Documents, including Permitted Liens). Lender’s Lien, including Lender’s security assignment of, and grant of security interest in, against and with respect to, Borrower’s interest in the Financed Vehicles, Portfolio Documents, Proceeds and, as and to the extent applicable, all of the other Collateral, shall have been, and at all times thereafter will remain, a first priority over any other Liens pursuant to all Applicable Laws, except Permitted Liens. Without limiting the foregoing, (w) there are no other Liens registered with respect to any of such Collateral other than Permitted Liens, (x) Borrower will neither suffer nor permit any Liens to be registered with respect to any of such Collateral, except Permitted Liens and any Liens required or expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents, (y) Borrower shall have paid all required fees and taken all actions necessary to enable Lender to register Lender’s Liens with respect to the Collateral that is Code Collateral, and (z) Borrower shall have taken any and all actions necessary for Borrower’s representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents to be and remain true and correct in all material respects and to be and remain in compliance with all of the Obligations.
6.6 Further Assurances.
Borrower shall promptly and duly execute and deliver to Lender such further documents, instruments and assurances and take such further action as Lender may from time to time reasonably request, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lender hereunder; including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of any UCC filing describing the Collateral, or other document reasonably required by Lender; and Borrower authorizes Lender to file any and all such filings, as well as any other filings required by Lender (without Borrower executing or otherwise authenticating the same, if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), or otherwise reasonably deemed appropriate by Lender, in connection herewith, it being understood that Borrower shall not have any obligations to re-title any Financed Vehicles to reflect Lender’s Lien thereon. Upon Lender’s request after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Material Default, Borrower shall deliver possession to Lender, or cause it to have and maintain control with respect to, any and all Collateral with respect to which such possession or control is necessary or advisable to perfect and give first priority to Lender’s security interest therein.
6.7 Portfolio Undertakings.
(a) Unless Borrower has been replaced as Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, Borrower shall diligently perform all obligations of the Servicer with respect to the Portfolio Documents pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement.
(b) Borrower shall prepare and file such financing statements and cause to be prepared and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Lender under this Agreement in the Code Collateral and in the proceeds
18
thereof and hereby authorizes Lender to file any such financing statements or continuation statements relating to all or any part thereof. Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Lender copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, promptly following such filing.
(c) Except for the conveyances hereunder and for Permitted Liens, Borrower shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Collateral to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except any Permitted Lien) on any interest therein, and Borrower shall defend the right, title and interest of Lender in, to and under the Collateral against all claims of third parties.
(d) Notwithstanding any prior termination of the Series 2009-WFEFI Portfolio Supplement, Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and a day after which all obligations under each Portfolio Document have been paid in full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke, or join any other Person in acquiescing, petitioning or otherwise invoking, against the Titling Trust or any Special Purpose Entity, any proceeding in court or with any governmental authority for the purpose of (i) commencing or sustaining a case against the Titling Trust or such Special Purpose Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or (ii) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of all or any substantial part of the respective property of the Titling Trust or such Special Purpose Entity, or (iii) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Titling Trust or such Special Purpose Entity.
(e) The Borrower shall instruct each Portfolio Obligor to make all payments under the applicable Portfolio Documents to a lockbox or similar account maintained by the Borrower. The Borrower shall remit to the Account Bank for deposit to the Collection Account all Collections it receives within two Business Days after receipt and identification thereof. The Borrower shall not, without prior written notice to Lender, change the location of or add any lockbox or similar account to which the Borrower directs Portfolio Obligor payments; provided, that any such changes to any lockbox or similar account shall not be subject to any Lien other than the Liens existing on the Closing Date with respect to the then existing lockbox and similar accounts.
(f) Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, enter into a written agreement with the Backup Servicer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, for provision by the Borrower to the Backup Servicer of a monthly data tape or other electronic data file containing data for the related Monthly Period relating to the Portfolio. Borrower shall provide a copy of such agreement to the Lender. Lender shall be an express third party beneficiary of such written agreement. Borrower and Backup Servicer shall acknowledge and agree in writing that no amendment, waiver or other modification of such agreement shall be made or effective unless Lender is a party to such amendment, waiver or modification. Upon execution, Borrower agrees to keep the agreement with the Backup Servicer or a replacement approved by the Lender in full force and effect at all times so long as any Obligations are outstanding. Upon the Lender’s request after either (x) a Servicer Default or (y) Borrower is not in compliance with the financial covenants in Sections 8.01(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement (such
19
provisions and related definitions all as in effect as of the Closing Date, without regard to any amendment, waiver, modification, deletion or other revision from time to time in the Credit Agreement after the Closing Date, none of which shall have any force or effect on such sections for purposes of this Agreement), Lender and Borrower shall each reasonably cooperate to enter into an amendment to the Backup Servicing Agreement within thirty (30) days after such event, to expand the Backup Servicer’s role on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender, Borrower and Backup Servicer; provided, that Borrower’s maximum responsibility for costs and expenses of the Backup Servicer in connection with such backup servicing arrangements shall not exceed $2,000 per month in the aggregate with respect to both this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement; and, provided, further, that Borrower’s obligations to provide data or other information to the Backup Servicer pursuant to a revised Backup Servicing Agreement shall not create an undue burden on Borrower.
6.8 Indemnity.
Borrower shall indemnify, protect, save, defend and keep harmless Lender, Lender’s affiliates and all of Lender’s and such affiliate’s respective directors, shareholders, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, attorneys-in-fact, lawyers, successors and assigns (each an “Indemnitee”) on a net after-tax basis, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, demands, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, whether or not such Indemnitee shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other Person, in any way relating to, arising out of or in connection with (1) this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the execution, delivery, or breach (including any default or Event of Default), enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (2) any of the Portfolio Documents, including, without limitation, any claim made by any Portfolio Obligor under any Portfolio Document and any Portfolio Default or Portfolio Event of Default and the enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (3) the Collateral, including, without limitation, the perfection, maintenance, protection or realization upon the Financed Vehicles, the Portfolio Documents and the other Collateral, (4) without limiting the provisions of clause (3) above, the Financed Vehicles, including the manufacture, inspection, construction, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, management, pooling, interchange, leasing, titling or re-titling, delivery, charter, subleasing, possession, use, operation, maintenance, condition, registration or re-registration, sale, removal, repossession, storage or other disposition of the Financed Vehicles or any part thereof or any accident in connection therewith (including Claims involving or alleging environmental damage, criminal acts, hijacking, acts of terrorism or similar acts, product liability or strict or absolute liability in tort, breach of warranty, latent and other defects (whether or not discoverable), for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), or (5) the occurrence of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Section for any Claim to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or attributable to such Indemnitee or to the extent
20
arising out of the material breach by or attributable to such Indemnitee of any of its express obligations under the Transaction Documents (unless such breach is a result of a breach or default by Borrower under any of the Transaction Documents or any Applicable Law). Although Borrower’s obligation under this Section 6.8 to indemnify Indemnitee (subject to the exceptions stated above) is that of a primary obligor, if and when Indemnitee recovers from a third party any indemnity payment, damages, or other compensation for a Claim for which Borrower has previously made payment to such Indemnitee as required by this Section 6.8, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, such Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate amount received by such Indemnitee from Borrower and such third party over the amount of such Indemnitee’s Claim. Upon indefeasible payment in full by Borrower of an indemnity by Borrower hereunder, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights of Indemnitee in respect of the matter for which Borrower has indemnified Indemnitee.
6.9 USA Patriot Act.
Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”) and Lender’s policies and practices, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies Borrower, which will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower shall (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the Proceeds of the Loan to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, (c) comply, and cause any of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended; (d) agrees to provide from time to time any information reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to comply with the Act, including, without limitation, the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act, and warrants that all such information provided will be true, correct and complete in all material respects at the time provided.
6.10 Environmental Covenants.
Borrower has conducted, and will continue to conduct its business operations, and so long as any Obligations remains outstanding will use the Collateral (to the extent the Collateral is used by Borrower), so as to comply with all Environmental Laws in all material respects.
6.11 Monthly and Quarterly Reports.
(a) Servicer Reports. For so long as Borrower is the Servicer, Borrower in its capacity as Servicer will provide to Lender the reports required by Section 2.15 of the Servicing Agreement and, provided such request does not place an undue burden on the Servicer, such other information as Lender may reasonably request.
21
(b) Compliance Certificate. Not later than the Determination Date in February, March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the March 2010 Determination Date, Borrower shall provide to Lender a Compliance Certificate in substantially the form of Annex D attached hereto (duly completed as to the relevant amounts at such time). If the calculations contained in any Compliance Certificate reflect a Deficiency, Borrower shall by the end of the calendar month in which such Compliance Certificate was delivered either (x) remit to Lender an amount equal to the Deficiency as set forth in such Compliance Certificate, such amount to be applied by Lender according to the Agreement, (y) subject to the prior written consent from the Lender, which consent Lender may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, pledge sufficient additional Portfolio Documents as Collateral to bring the Advance Rate into compliance or (z) deposit cash or Eligible Investments in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such Deficiency. If Lender consents to the pledge of additional Portfolio Documents, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such supplements, amendments, UCC financing statements and other instruments, certificates, documents and agreements as Lender may require to perfect the Lender’s security interest in such additional Portfolio Documents and otherwise realize the benefits of the Agreement with respect to such additional Portfolio Documents. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender shall apply any payment of Deficiency and, at the Borrower’s election, Cash Collateral, to the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding in inverse order of maturity. For so long as Borrower’s quarterly and annual financial statements are publically available, Borrower shall not be required to furnish such financial statements together with the Compliance Certificate. Annex A to Schedule 4 of each Compliance Certificate shall set forth the Contracts that are no longer Performing Contracts as of the Statement Date with respect to which such Compliance Certificate is delivered that were not previously identified as no longer being Performing Contracts. The Lender agrees that upon Borrower’s delivery of a Compliance Certificate, so long as no Event of Default then exists, (x) without any further act, Lender’s Lien shall be deemed released with respect to any Portfolio Documents and the Related Security that are no longer Performing Contracts as set forth in such Compliance Certificate, and (y) Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower the Release attached to such Compliance Certificate as Schedule 4, which Release shall attach thereto Annex A thereto listing the Contracts that are no longer Performing Contracts. If as of any Statement Date with respect to which a Compliance Certificate is delivered, there are funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and the Advance Rate as calculated in such Compliance Certificate is less than the Maximum Advance Rate, at the written request of Borrower, funds shall be released from the Cash Collateral Account to Borrower such that the Advance Rate after giving pro forma effect to such release would not exceed the Maximum Advance Rate.
22

(e) any representation, warranty, certification or statement made herein or in any other Transaction Document by the Borrower shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or omits to state a material fact necessary to make any such representation, warranty, certification or statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was furnished, which (if curable) remains unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (x) written notice thereof by Lender to Borrower and (y) Borrower’s knowledge of such failure, and which if left uncured is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;

23
(g) a petition against the Borrower in a proceeding under applicable bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws, as now or hereafter in effect, shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within ninety (90) days thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or liquidation that may apply to the Borrower, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of the Borrower or of any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of ninety (90) days;
(h) Lender shall cease to have a first priority perfected security interest in a material portion of the Code Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, which remains uncured for a period of ten (10) days after the earlier of (x) written notice thereof by Lender to Borrower and (y) Borrower’s knowledge of such failure;
(i) the Servicer Termination Date shall have occurred;
(j) the Borrower shall fail to make a payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable and such failure shall continue beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Material Indebtedness was created;
(k) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this paragraph (k) shall not apply to secured Material Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Material Indebtedness; or
(l) a Change of Control shall occur.

Upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (whether or not declared to be such by Lender), and in every such event and at any time thereafter so long as such Event of Default shall continue uncured, Lender may declare the Obligations immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable by Borrower to Lender, without presentment, demand, protest, or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. The remedy provided in this Section 8.1 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the default specified in Section 7.1(b) of this Agreement.

(b) subject to the rights of the applicable Portfolio Obligor under the applicable Portfolio Documents or otherwise available under Applicable Law, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner at public or private sale, with or without notice to Borrower (except as required by Applicable Law and, in furtherance thereof, Lender agrees that it shall give Borrower no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any proposed sale or lease of the Financed Vehicles or any Collateral, which Borrower acknowledges as constituting adequate notice of such sale for purposes of the UCC), at such price as it may deem best, for cash, credit, or otherwise, with the right of Lender to purchase and apply the Proceeds: first, to the payment of all Enforcement Expenses; second, to the payment of the Obligations; and third, to the payment of any surplus thereafter remaining to Borrower or to whosoever may be entitled thereto (including any Portfolio Obligor or any third party claiming to have a Lien or any subrogation or other rights with respect thereto), with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency to the extent provided herein; and
(c) at its sole discretion, may, subject to the applicable provisions of the Portfolio Documents and the rights of the applicable Portfolio Obligor: (1) enter upon the premises where any such Collateral is located (without obligation for rent) and take immediate possession of and remove (or disable in place) such Collateral (and/or any unattached parts) by self-help, summary proceedings or other lawful procedure; provided, however, in no event shall Lender be entitled to any freight loaded on the Collateral at the time Lender exercises its remedies hereunder; and/or (2) notify the Portfolio Obligors in writing that all payments under the applicable Portfolio Documents are to be thereafter made to and as directed by Lender; and/or (3) require any Portfolio Obligor to assemble and return each Financed Vehicle to Lender in compliance with the applicable Portfolio
25
Documents subject to the rights of the applicable Portfolio Obligor; and/or (4) deliver to any Portfolio Obligor a copy of the Notice of Assignment; and/or (5) require Borrower to execute and deliver to Lender such documents as Lender deems advisable to enable Lender to obtain possession (subject to the rights of the Portfolio Obligors) of the Financed Vehicles (including, without limitation, any notices to Portfolio Obligors).

Without limiting any other terms or conditions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section are of the essence of this Agreement, and upon application to any court of equity having jurisdiction, Lender shall be entitled to a decree against Borrower requiring Borrower’s specific performance of its agreements in this Section; and
(d) exercise any other right or remedy available to it under this Agreement (including, without limitation, as collateral assignee of all of Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Portfolio Documents and with respect to the other Collateral), the Note, or the other Transaction Documents or Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the UCC), or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof.
8.3 Additional Remedy Provisions.
Borrower shall be liable for all Enforcement Expenses. No remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available at law or in equity, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time. The failure of Lender to exercise, or delay in the exercise of, the rights granted hereunder upon any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of any such Default or Event of Default. During the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Lender may (a) take or release other security; (b) release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations; (c) grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the Obligations; and (d) apply any other security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of the Obligations without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. With respect to any exercise by Lender of its right to recover and/or dispose of the Financed Vehicles or other Collateral, Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Lender shall have no obligation, subject to the requirements of commercial reasonableness, to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Financed Vehicles or any other Collateral for disposition, and (ii) Lender shall comply with any applicable state or Federal law requirements in connection with any disposition of the Financed Vehicles or other Collateral, and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any disposition of such Financed Vehicles and/or other Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that if and to the extent Lender conveys the Financed Vehicles or other Collateral, it will be conveyed on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may specifically disclaim any and all warranties, including any warranty of title or the like with respect to the disposition of the Financed Vehicles or other Collateral.
26
Borrower acknowledges that if Lender purchases the Financed Vehicles or other Collateral conveyed at a public or private sale pursuant hereto, Lender may pay for the same by crediting some or all of the Obligations.
Lender acknowledges and agrees that so long as Borrower is the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the Servicer Termination Date has not occurred, in exercising any of the remedies provided for in this Article 8 with respect to the Collateral, Lender will not exercise such remedies in conflict with the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default nothing in this Section 8.3 shall prevent the Lender from declaring a Servicer Default under the Servicing Agreement and exercising such remedies as it has under the Servicing Agreement.
8.4 Lender’s Right to Perform.
If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or under the other Transaction Documents, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such performance or compliance, and the amount of any out-of-pocket expenses and other reasonable expenses of Lender thereby incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be due and payable by Borrower upon demand.
8.5 Power of Attorney.
In the event that: (1) the Borrower fails to take an action required pursuant to Section 6.6 of this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days of Lender’s request to do so; or (2) upon the occurrence and continuation of a Borrower Event of Default; Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall terminate only upon indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations) Lender and any employee, officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in Lender’s own name, from time to time in Lender’s sole discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 8 of this Agreement. In the event that (a) the Borrower fails to take an action required pursuant to Section 6.6 of this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days of Lender’s request to do so; or (b) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default; Borrower hereby further irrevocably authorizes Lender and any employee, officer or agent thereof to (x) deliver notice to the Portfolio Obligors that they are to make all future payments under the Portfolio Documents to and at the Lender’s direction and (y) take any and all appropriate action and to make, execute, deliver, file and/or record any and all instruments or documents (including, without limitation, UCC financing statements or amendments or any control agreements) that may be necessary to more fully perfect its interest in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall terminate only upon payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby further (i) irrevocably ratifies the foregoing appointment and authorization and all that Lender or any employee, officer or agent thereof shall lawfully
27
do or cause to be done by virtue of the foregoing, including, without limitation, with regard to the execution, delivery, filing and/or recording of any instruments or documents (including, without limitation, any UCC financing statements or amendments) and/or the taking of any action as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the remedies in Section 8 of this Agreement, (ii) agrees that Lender shall have authority, during the existence of an Event of Default, to endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payments or instrument relating to the Collateral that come into Lender’s possession or control and to settle, adjust, receive payment and make claim or proof of loss, (iii) agrees that Borrower shall not file or record any corrective or termination statements with respect to any UCC financing statements, amendments or assignments or control agreements filed or recorded by or for the benefit of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral without Lender’s prior written consent, and (iv) agrees that any signature, execution and delivery of any document or instrument may be satisfied, in Lender’s sole discretion and to the extent permitted by the UCC, by authentication of such document or instrument as a record within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act, other than any act or failure to act that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Lender.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 16, 2009 (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), between Navistar Financial Corporation (“Borrower”) and Xxxxx Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (“Lender”).
The undersigned hereby certifies as of the date hereof that he/she is the chief financial officer of Borrower (or his/her designee), and that, as such, he/she is authorized to execute and deliver this Compliance Certificate to Lender on behalf of Borrower, and that:
1. If Borrower no longer files its financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, attached hereto as Schedule 1 are the financial statements [for the certificates delivered in March, June and September — for the most recent fiscal quarter] [for the certificate delivered in February – for the most recent fiscal year] of Borrower ended as of the above date. Such financial statements fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Borrower in accordance with GAAP at such date and for such period[, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes].
2. The undersigned has reviewed and is familiar with the terms of the Agreement and has made, or has caused to be made under his/her supervision, a detailed review of the transactions and condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower during the accounting period covered by the attached financial statements.
3. A review of the activities of Borrower during such fiscal period has been made under the supervision of the undersigned with a view to determining whether during such period Borrower performed and observed all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and
[to the best knowledge of the undersigned during such fiscal period, Borrower performed and observed each covenant and condition of the Transaction Documents applicable to it such that no Default or Event of Default occurred.]
1 | Items 1, 2, 3 and 5 will not be required for the Compliance Certificate to be delivered in December. |
1
—or—
[the following covenants or conditions have not been performed or observed and the following is a list of each such Default or Event of Default and its nature and status:]
4. Attached hereto as Schedule 2 are the computations showing the calculations with respect to the negative covenants set forth in Sections 8.01(a) of (b) of the Credit Agreement (such provisions and related definitions all as in effect as of the Closing Date, without regard to any amendment, waiver, modification, deletion or other revision from time to time in the Credit Agreement after the Closing Date, none of which shall have any force or effect on such sections for purposes of the Agreement and the calculations set forth in Schedule 2).
5. In my capacity as and not in my individual capacity I have reviewed the Financial Statements attached hereto and hereby certify that there has been no change in GAAP, or in the application thereof, since October 31, 2008 [, except as set forth below].
6. The representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Section 4 of the Agreement, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date.
7. The financial analyses required by Section 6.11(b) of the Agreement and the information set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto are true and accurate on and as of the applicable date.
8. | As detailed in Schedule 3 attached hereto, the Advance Rate as of the Month Ending Date written above is %. |
9. [if the Advance Rate exceeds the Maximum Advance Rate:] Borrower shall by the end of the calendar month in which this Compliance Certificate is delivered:
[Borrower to elect one:]
(x) remit to Lender an amount equal to the Deficiency as set forth in such Compliance Certificate. [So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower hereby requests that Lender apply any payment of Deficiency to the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding in inverse order of maturity.]
(y) subject to the prior written consent from the Lender, which consent Lender may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, pledge sufficient additional Portfolio Documents as Collateral to bring the Advance Rate into compliance. If Lender consents to the pledge of additional Portfolio Documents, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such supplements, amendments, UCC financing statements and other instruments, certificates, documents and agreements as Lender may require to perfect the Lender’s security interest in such additional Portfolio Documents and otherwise realize the benefits of the Agreement with respect to such additional Portfolio Documents.
2
(z) deposit cash or Eligible Investments in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such Deficiency. [So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower hereby requests that Lender apply any Cash Collateral to the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding in inverse order of maturity.]
10. Each of the Contracts listed on Annex A attached to Schedule 4 to this Compliance Certificate is no longer a Performing Contract. So long as no Event of Default then exists: (x) without any further act, Lender’s Lien shall be deemed released with respect to any Portfolio Documents and the Related Security that are no longer Performing Contracts as set forth in Annex A to this Compliance Certificate, (y) Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower the Release attached hereto as Schedule 4, which Release shall attach thereto Annex A thereto listing the Contracts that are no longer Performing Contracts as of such Statement Date that were not previously identified as no longer being Performing Contracts, and (z) to the extent that no Deficiency exists or would result after giving effect thereto, Lender shall pay to Borrower the amount of any Cash Collateral then in the Cash Collateral Account ($ ).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Compliance Certificate as of , .
