corporation, as Seller (the "Seller"), NAVISTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation, as Servicer (the "Servicer"), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a
New York banking corporation, as trustee (together with its successors in trust

(as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement") among the Seller, the Servicer,
the Master Trust Trustee and The Chase Manhattan Bank (formerly know as Chemical
Bank), as trustee under the 1990 Trust Agreement.
Section 6.09 of the Agreement provides that the Seller may from time
to time direct the Master Trust Trustee to issue, on behalf of the Master Trust,
one or more new Series of Investor Certificates representing fractional
undivided interests in the Master Trust. The Principal Terms of any new Series

SECTION 1.01 Designation.
-----------
(a) There is hereby created a new Series pursuant to the Agreement
and this Series Supplement to be known as the "Floating Rate Dealer Note Asset
Backed Certificates Series 2000-VFC." The interest of the Investor
Certificateholders in Series 2000-VFC shall be represented by the Series 2000-
VFC Certificates. The Series 2000-VFC Certificates are a series of variable
funding certificates, meaning that their Funded Amount may be increased from
time to time during the Revolving Period as Incremental Fundings are made under
the Certificate Purchase Agreement and may be decreased from time to time, as
Investor Principal Collections or certain other funds are distributed to the
Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders for that purpose. The Funded Amount of the
Series 2000-VFC may not at any time exceed the Maximum Funded Amount.
(b) If any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or
be inconsistent with any term or provision contained in the Agreement, the terms
and provisions of this Series Supplement shall govern with respect to Series
2000-VFC.
SECTION 1.02 Incremental Fundings. Incremental Fundings may occur on any
--------------------
Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Certificate Purchase Agreement.
Upon any Incremental Funding, the Funded Amount, the Series Allocation
Percentage, the Floating Allocation Percentage and other terms will be reset to
the extent provided herein and in the Certificate Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 1.03 Optional Early Pay Out.
----------------------
(a) On any Funding Change Date falling in the Revolving Period, the
Seller may cause the principal portion of the Certificates to be prepaid in full
or in part, (x) if the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment is greater
than $150,000,000, on not less than five Business days prior written notice by
the Servicer or (y) otherwise, on not less than three Business Days prior
written notice by the Servicer to the Master Trust Trustee and the
Administrative Agent, with Shared Principal Collections as provided in Section
4.03(e) of the Agreement; provided, however that such prepayment shall not be
permitted unless all due (or if the Certificates are paid in full, all accrued)
and unpaid Monthly Interest, Additional Amounts and Non-Use Fees have been paid
in full.
(b) In addition, on any Business Day, the Seller may cause the
principal portion of the Certificates to be prepaid in full or in part, (x) if
the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment is greater than $150,000,000,
on not less than five Business Days prior written notice by the Servicer or (y)
otherwise, on not less than three Business Days prior written notice by the
Servicer to the Master Trust Trustee and the Administrative Agent, with the
proceeds from issuance of a new Series issued substantially contemporaneously
with such prepayment; provided, however that such prepayment shall not be
permitted unless all due (or, if the Certificates are paid in full, all accrued)
and unpaid Monthly Interest, Additional Amounts and Non-Use Fees have been paid
in full.
(c) Servicer shall not give notice of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 1.03(a) unless the Master Trust has funds sufficient to make such
prepayment on the day notice is given and shall not give notice of any
prepayment pursuant to Section 1.03(b) unless the Seller has obtained binding
commitments which may be subject to customary conditions from one or more
persons to purchase the new series in such amounts as will yield the net
proceeds necessary to make the prepayment.

Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders and deposited in the Series Principal Account
on the related Transfer Date to make any prepayments as described in Section
1.03 and (iv) to the Seller. If shared seller principal collections for all
Series are less than the shortfalls for which shared seller principal
collections may be used, then such shared seller principal collections will be
allocated to all such shortfalls pro rata based on the relative amounts of each
such shortfall.
(iv) "Series 2000-VFC Shared Seller Principal Collections" means
on each business day (i) during a Revolving Period, all Available Seller's
Principal Collections and all Excess Seller's Principal Collections and
(ii) during an Amortization Period, all Remaining Available Seller's
Principal Collections and all Excess Seller's Principal Collections. There
shall be no Series 2000-VFC Shared Seller Principal Collections during any
Early Amortization Period.
(e) If on any Distribution Date during an Early Amortization Period
after the application of all funds to be allocated or distributed on such date
the excess, if any, of (x) the Invested Amount over (y) the amount in the Series
Principal Account (the "Early Amortization Period Shortfall Amount") is less
than or equal to the aggregate amount of funds contained in the Liquidity
Reserve Account then funds shall be withdrawn in an amount equal to the Early
Amortization Period Shortfall Amount and shall be deposited in the Series
Principal Account.
SECTION 4.09 Shared Principal Collections.
----------------------------
(a) That portion of Shared Principal Collections for any Business Day
equal to the amount of Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal Collections for such
Business Day will be allocated to Series 2000-VFC and will be applied in the
same manner as Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.08(b) and
otherwise will be deposited in the Excess Funding Account to the extent
necessary to maintain the Master Trust Seller's Interest at an amount equal to
(or, in the discretion of the Seller, greater than) the Minimum Master Trust
Seller's Interest or allocated to the Seller.
(b) "Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal Collections," with respect to
any Business Day, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 2000-VFC Principal
Shortfall for such Business Day; provided, however, that, if the aggregate
amount of Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Business Day is
less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for
25
all Series for such Business Day, then Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal
Collections for such Business Day shall equal the product of (x) Shared
Principal Collections for all Series for such Business Day and (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Series 2000-VFC Principal Shortfall for such
Business Day and denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal
Shortfalls for all Series for such Business Day; provided further that if Shared
Principal Collections are not required to be applied to any other Series, the
Seller may direct that all or any portion of such Shared Principal Collections
be retained and allocated to the Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders and
deposited in the Series Principal Account on the related Transfer Date to make
any prepayment permitted by Section 1.03.
SECTION 4.10 Distributions to Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders. On each
---------------------------------------------------
Transfer Date, after all allocations to the Distribution Account and the Series
Principal Account for the related Transfer Date have been made, the Master Trust
Trustee, acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall
transfer to the Distribution Account the funds on deposit in the Series
Principal Account and shall make, without duplication, the following
distributions from the Distribution Account:
(a) Interest Distributions. On each Distribution Date (including the
----------------------
Expected Payment Date), Monthly Interest, Non-Use Fees and Additional Amounts
will be distributed as such to the Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders to the
extent of the amount on deposit in the Distribution Account for such purpose.
(b) Amortization Period and Early Amortization Period. On each
-------------------------------------------------
Distribution Date related to a Due Period occurring during an Amortization
Period or an Early Amortization Period, in addition to the amount described in
(a) above, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Account will be
distributed as principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such
Distribution Date) on the Series 2000-VFC Certificates.
(c) Revolving Period. On each Distribution Date relating to a Due
----------------
Period during the Revolving Period, in addition to the amount described in (a)
above, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Account will be distributed as
principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date) on
the Series 2000-VFC Certificates.
SECTION 4.11 [Reserved]
SECTION 4.12 Partial Month Due Period. The allocation and distribution
------------------------
provisions in this Series Supplement are based upon the assumptions that each
Due Period will be a calendar month and that each Due Period will have a unique
related Transfer Date and Distribution Date. However, under certain
circumstances (such as the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, the
Revolving Period could end on a date other than the last day of a calendar month
(the period from the first day of such month (the "Subject Month") to and
including the date of such occurrence being referred to herein as the "Revolving
Due Period"), and an Early Amortization
26
Period could commence on a date other than the first day of a calendar month
(the period from such other date until the last day of the Subject Month being
the "Amortizing Due Period"). If such a circumstance occurs, then the Servicer,
the Seller and the Master Trust Trustee shall observe the following rules:
(i) the Transfer Date for both the Revolving Due Period and the
Amortizing Due Period shall be the date on which the Transfer Date would
have occurred if the Subject Month had been an ordinary Due Period;
(ii) the allocations and distributions of Finance Charge
Collections (and all items derived from Finance Charge Collections, such as
Available Certificateholder Interest Collections and Available Seller's
Finance Charge Collections) and Dealer Note Losses occurring during the
Subject Month shall be made as if the Subject Month were one Due Period,
without any distinction between the Revolving Due Period and the Amortizing
Due Period; and
(iii) two separate sets of allocations and distributions of
Principal Collections (and all items derived from Principal Collections,
such as Investor Principal Collections and Seller's Principal Collections)
shall be made on such Transfer Date, according to whether such Principal
Collections were received during the Revolving Due Period (in which case
allocations and distributions shall be made as provided in Sections 4.08(a)
and (c)) or the Amortizing Due Period (in which case allocations and
distributions shall be made as provided in Sections 4.08(b) and (d)).
SECTION 4.13 Additional Rights upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.
-------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02(a) of the Agreement, if any
insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller, Navistar International
Corporation, Navistar International Transportation Corp. or Navistar Financial
Corporation on the day of such insolvency event, the Seller will (subject to the
actions of the Certificateholders) immediately cease to transfer Dealer Notes to
the Master Trust, and promptly give notice to the Master Trust Trustee of such
insolvency event. Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if an
insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller prior to the date on which
the Series 2000-VFC Certificates issued by the Master Trust have been paid in
full, then within 15 days the Master Trust Trustee will publish a notice of such
insolvency event stating that the Master Trust Trustee intends to sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Dealer Notes in a commercially reasonable
manner and on commercially reasonable terms, unless within a specified period of
time Certificate holders representing more than 50% of the aggregate series
invested amount of the certificates of each such Series and each person holding
a Supplemental Certificate, instruct the Master Trust Trustee not to sell,
dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Dealer Notes and to continue transferring
Dealer Notes as before such insolvency event.
