Item 5. Other Matters.
(a) On May 25, 1995, the Registrant, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Navistar Financial Corporation ("NFC"), purchased a pool of retail
instalment sale contracts for, and retail loans evidenced by notes
secured by, medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses and trailers with an
aggregate outstanding principal balance as of May 1, 1995 of
$424,879,281.80 (collectively, the "Receivables") from NFC for a
purchase price equal to the principal balance of the Receivables as of
May 1, 1995. The Registrant paid a portion of the purchase price from
the net cash proceeds of the issuance of the Securities (as described
below) and paid the remainder with an intercompany advance from NFC.
The Registrant immediately transferred the Receivables to the Navistar
Financial 1995-A Owner Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust issued two
classes of notes and a class of certificates backed by the Receivables
(the "Securities"). The net cash proceeds of the issuance of the
Securities were $423,544,261.72, which, together with a certificate
with an initial certificate balance of $149,281.80, were transferred to
the Registrant. A portion of the net cash proceeds were used to pay
approximately $450,000 of transaction fees and expenses and to fund a
$25,492,756.91 deposit into a reserve account as credit support for the
Receivables. The balance of the net cash proceeds were paid to NFC as
part of the purchase price for the Receivables.
(b) On June 6, 1995, the certificate of incorporation of the
Registrant was amended to incorporate provisions authorized by Section
6.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. A copy of the certificate
of incorporation of the Registrant, as amended, is being filed herewith
as an exhibit.

(ii) $330,000,000.00 principal amount of its 6.55% Class A-2 Notes (the "Class
A-2 Notes"; and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the "Notes") pursuant to an
Indenture to be dated as of May 25, 1995 (the "Indenture") between the Trust and
The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), and (iii)
$14,879,281.80 principal amount of its 6.85% Asset Backed Certificates,

and in its capacity as Servicer, the "Servicer") pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") to be dated as of
May 25, 1995 among the Seller, the Servicer and the Trust. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This is to confirm the agreement concerning the purchase of the Securities
from the Seller by the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 hereto (the
"Underwriters").
1. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF NFC AND THE SELLER. NFC
and the Seller jointly and severally represent and warrant to and agree with the
several Underwriters that:
(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-55865) has been
filed by the Seller with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") and has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). Such registration statement may have been
amended or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof. Any
such amendment or supplement was filed with the Commission in accordance
with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (the "Rules and Regulations") and any such amendment has become
effective under the Securities Act. The Seller proposes to file with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Rules and Regulations a
prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the prospectus dated

distribution thereof. Copies of such registration statement, any amendment
or supplement thereto, such prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement have
been delivered to you. Such registration statement, including exhibits
thereto and such prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date hereof,
and as further supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, are hereinafter
referred to as the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus,"
respectively. The conditions to the use of a registration statement on
Form S-3 under the Securities Act have been satisfied.
(b) The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, any
post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, and the
Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act
and the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder and did not include any untrue statement of a
material fact and, in the case of the Registration Statement and any post-
effective amendment thereto, did not omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading and, in the case of the Prospectus, did not omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; on
the

Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder and neither the Prospectus nor
any amendment or supplement thereto will include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The representation and warranty in the
preceding sentence does not apply to (i) that part of the Registration
Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and
Qualification (Form T-1) of the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture
Act or (ii) that information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in

(i) When authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with
the Indenture and delivered and paid for pursuant to this Agreement, the

obligations of the Trust enforceable against the Trust in accordance with

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which either such party
is a party or by which it is bound, or violate any law or, to either such

Securities, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of any of the Securities
or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially

or by which the Seller is bound or to which any of the Seller's property or

Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, then
each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall be severally obligated to
purchase the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase on the Closing Date in the respective proportions which
the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of each remaining
non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-
defaulting Underwriters in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that the
remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of
the Securities on the Closing Date if the aggregate principal amount of
Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase on such date exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of
the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and any remaining non-
defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase in total more than
110% of the principal amount of the Securities which it agreed to purchase on
the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums
are exceeded and the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory
to Morgan and the Seller do not elect to purchase the Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, this
Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter or the Seller, except that the Seller will continue to be liable for
the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 8 and 12 and except
that the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 shall not terminate and shall remain in
effect. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes, for all
purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any party not
listed in Schedule 1 hereto who, pursuant to this Section 7, purchases
Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter
of any liability it may have for damages caused by its default. If other
underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting
Underwriter, either Morgan or the Seller may postpone the Closing Date for up to
seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of
counsel for the Seller or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement,
and the Seller agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus that effects any such changes.
8. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If (a) notice shall have
been given pursuant to Section 6 terminating the obligations of the
Underwriters hereunder, (b) the Seller shall fail to tender the Securities for
delivery to the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or
(c) the Underwriters
11
<PAGE>
shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this
Agreement, the Seller shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees and expenses
of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been
reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed
purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Seller shall pay the full amount
thereof to Morgan. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7 by
reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Seller shall not be
obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) NFC and the Seller shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act (collectively referred to for the purposes of this Section 9 and Section 10
as the Underwriter) against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or
several, to which that Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in
respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made,
not misleading, and shall reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a
third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage or liability
(or any action in respect thereof) as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that neither NFC nor the Seller shall be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from any preliminary prospectus
supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters'
Information.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller, each of its directors, each officer of the Seller who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively
referred to for the purposes of this Section 9 and Section 10 as the Seller),
against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, to which the
Seller may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect thereof) arises
out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus supplement, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, but in
each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made
12
<PAGE>
in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the
Seller by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use therein, and
shall reimburse the Seller for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Seller in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or
defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any
such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect thereof) as such
expenses are incurred. The parties acknowledge and agree that the written
information furnished to the Seller by or on behalf of the Underwriters (the
"Underwriters' Information") consists solely of the paragraph below the
footnotes on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement concerning the terms of
the offering and the second paragraph of text and the following table under the
caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that
Morgan shall have the right to employ one counsel to represent jointly Morgan
and those other Underwriters and their respective controlling persons who may be
subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may
be sought by the Underwriters against NFC or the Seller under this Section 9 if,
in the reasonable judgment of Morgan, it is advisable for Morgan and those
Underwriters and controlling persons to be jointly represented by separate
counsel because there may be one or more legal defenses available to such
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel shall be paid by NFC or the Seller. Each indemnified party, as a
condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 9(a) and 9(b), shall
use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written
consent or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
13
<PAGE>
The obligations of NFC, the Seller and the Underwriters in this
Section 9 and in Section 10 are in addition to any other liability which NFC,
the Seller or the Underwriters, as the case may be, may otherwise have.
10. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 9(a) or (b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by NFC and the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of NFC and the Seller on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by NFC and the Seller
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting
expenses) received by the Seller bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities
purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the
cover page of the Prospectus Supplement. The relative fault shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by NFC or the Seller on the one
hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their
relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission.
NFC , the Seller and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10 were to be determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or
liability referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations on the fees and expenses of separate counsel set
forth in Section 9, for purposes of this Section 10, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such claim or any action in respect thereof. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
the public less the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise
paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
14
<PAGE>
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to indemnify
as provided in Section 9 and contribute as provided in this Section 10 are
several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not
joint.
11. PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, NFC, the Seller,
and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this
Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or
corporation, other than the Underwriters, NFC and the Seller and their
respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors
referred to in Sections 9 and 10 and their heirs and legal representatives, any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement
or any provision contained herein.
12. EXPENSES. The Seller agrees with the Underwriters to pay (a) the
costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of
the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (b) the costs incident
to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the
Registration Statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto; (c) the costs of
distributing the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment
thereto and any post-effective amendments thereof (including, in each case,
exhibits), any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including, without limitation, the
Prospectus Supplement, all as provided in this Agreement; (d) the costs of
printing, reproducing and distributing this Agreement and any other underwriting
and selling group documents by mail, telex or other means of communications; (e)
the fees and expenses of qualifying the Securities under the securities laws of
the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 4 and of preparing, printing
and distributing Blue Sky Memoranda and Legal Investment Surveys (including
related fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters); (f) any fees charged
by S&P and Moody's for rating the Securities; (g) all fees and expenses of the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective counsel; and (h)
all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of
the Seller under this Agreement; provided that, except as otherwise provided in
this Section 12 and in Section 8, the Underwriters shall pay their own costs and
expenses, including the costs and expenses of their counsel, any transfer taxes
on the Securities which they may sell and the expenses of advertising any
offering of the Securities made by the Underwriters.
13. SURVIVAL. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution,
representations, warranties and agreements of NFC, the Seller and the
Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf on them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and
payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless
of any (i) termination or cancellation of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation
made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them or
(iii) acceptance of and payment for the Securities.
14. NOTICES, ETC. All statements, requests, notices and agreements
hereunder shall be in writing, and:

such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time
of receipt thereof. The Seller shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the
Underwriters by Morgan.

Notes of the same class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate

authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the
-5-
<PAGE>
Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
(e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or
trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in The City of New
York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee is
located, or by a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.
(g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or Indenture Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not
involving any transfer.
(h) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the
Issuer shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note
Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, of Notes that: (i) have been
selected for redemption pursuant to Article X, if applicable; or (ii) are due
for repayment in full within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office
or the Agency Office.
SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee,
or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the
Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon the
Issuer's request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of a like class and aggregate principal amount; provided,
however, that
-6-
<PAGE>
if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven days shall be due and payable in full, or shall have been
called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may
make payment to the Holder of such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or
payable or upon the Redemption Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof.
(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Note or payment in respect
of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to subsection (a), any bona fide
purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from (i)
any Person to whom it was delivered, (ii) the Person taking such replacement

representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
interest in the Notes and (ii) has delivered such instructions to the

Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the
Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes
as Noteholders.
SECTION 2.13 Seller as Noteholder. The Seller in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal

Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment

Trustee to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),

such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture

notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify

Indenture Trustee shall take all reasonable steps available to them pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to remedy such failure.

<PAGE>
SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a), the Indenture Trustee may
do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Notes
or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of
acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or
partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take
any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies
of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law or elect to have the Issuer
maintain possession of the Receivables and continue to apply collections on
such Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default and acceleration of the
Notes, unless (A) the Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Notes consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Securityholders are sufficient to discharge in full the
principal of and the accrued interest on the Notes and the Certificate Balance
of and accrued interest on the Certificates, in each case as of the date of such
sale or liquidation or (C) (i) there has been an Event of Default under Section
5.1(a), (b) or (c) or otherwise arising from a failure to make a required
payment of principal on any Notes, (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines that
the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment
of principal of and interest on the Notes as and when they would have become due
if the Notes had not been declared due and payable and (iii) the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of a majority of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the
-31-

Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as
to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Trust Estate for such purpose.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article V, it shall pay out or deposit such money or property in the
following order:
FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7;
and
SECOND: to the Collection Account, for distribution pursuant to

of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire
of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the
Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether
or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining
whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.
SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this

Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such
Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture
Trustee hereunder;

reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in complying with such request;
-32-
<PAGE>

notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such
Proceedings; and
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given

majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable (on the basis of
the respective aggregate amount of principal and interest, respectively, due and
unpaid on the Notes held by each Noteholder) and common benefit of all
Noteholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section 5.6, each and every Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or in equity.
If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent
requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each
representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the
Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any,
shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, if applicable, on or after the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally to their respective former positions
hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
-33-
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, subject to provision being made for
indemnification against costs, expenses and liabilities in a form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;
(ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to
the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the
Holders of Notes representing 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;
(iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied
and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of
Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to
sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;
provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not
take any action that it determines might cause it
-34-
<PAGE>
to incur any liability (a) with respect to which the Indenture Trustee shall
have reasonable grounds to believe that adequate indemnity against such
liability in not assured to it and (b) which might materially adversely affect
the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.
(a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the
Notes as provided in Section 5.2(a), the Holders of not less than a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default and its
consequences except a Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on
any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In
the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights
hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
(b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every
purpose of this Indenture and for purposes of Section 8.01(b) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent
or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to:
(a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee;
(b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders,
in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes; or
(c) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of principal of or interest on any Note
-35-
<PAGE>
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any
time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that may adversely affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture. The Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to
seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or
with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any
rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired
by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or
by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust
Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected
by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).
SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so
and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful
action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance
and observance by the Seller and the Servicer of their respective obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Purchase Agreement or by NFC of its obligations under or in connection with
the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any
and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer
under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller, the
Servicer or NFC thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller, the
Servicer or NFC of each of their respective obligations under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller
or the Servicer under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to
compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each
of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended.
(c) [RESERVED.]
(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Seller against NFC under
or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to
take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by NFC of each of
its obligations to the Seller thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Purchase Agreement,
and any right of the Seller to take such action shall be suspended.
ARTICLE VI
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other
Basic Document against the Indenture Trustee; and
-37-
<PAGE>
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or
not they conform to any applicable requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful
misconduct, except that:
(i) this Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.1(b);
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved
that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any
money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with
the Issuer.
(e) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of
this Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(g) The Indenture Trustee shall reimburse the Seller and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Seller for any contractual damages, liability
or expense incurred by reason of the Indenture Trustee's willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of
its duties under any of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, or by
reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under any of the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
-38-
<PAGE>
(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the Indenture
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the
provisions of the TIA.
SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.
(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer's Certificate from the Issuer or an Opinion of Counsel that
such action or omission is required or permissible hereunder. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the
supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with
due care by it hereunder.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee's conduct does
not constitute wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or
opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and
the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability
in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
SECTION 6.3 Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Servicer or any of their
respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall comply
with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or
co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable
for the Issuer's use of the
-39-
<PAGE>
proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of
the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the
sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate
of authentication.
SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within
60 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal
of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and
so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.
SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder the information and documents set forth
in Article VII, and, in addition, all such information with respect to the Notes
as may be required, as specified by the Servicer, to enable such Holder to
prepare its federal and state income tax returns.
SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.
(a) The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Indenture
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.
The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to indemnify the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.01 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Issuer's obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.
-40-
<PAGE>
(a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its intent
to resign by so notifying the Issuer; provided, however, that no such
resignation shall become effective and the Indenture Trustee shall not resign
prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The Holders of a majority in
Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying
the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Such
resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance
with Section 6.8(c). The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:
(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or
is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any
reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the
retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint and designate a
successor Indenture Trustee.
(c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance
of its appointment and designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the
Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee
shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The
successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders
and to each of the Rating Agencies. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor
Indenture Trustee.
(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60
days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign
or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor Indenture
Trustee.
(e) If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent
-41-
<PAGE>
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section 6.8, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 and the
Servicer's corresponding obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee.
(a) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture; provided,
however, that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
6.11, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Indenture, anything in this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding. Following such merger or consolidation, the
successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of such merger or consolidation
to each of the Rating Agencies.
(b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or
consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of
authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the
Notes or herein with respect to the certificate of authentication of the
Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate
Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be
located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver
all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-
trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person
-42-
<PAGE>
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and (only to
the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders, such title to the
Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.8.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee
or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof
in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Indenture Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of
or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees
and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and
the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
-43-
<PAGE>
protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-
trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised
by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture
Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA (S) 310(a). The
Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition
and (unless waived by Moody's) it shall have a long term unsecured debt rating
of Baa3 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The Indenture Trustee shall
comply with TIA (S) 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from
the operation of TIA (S) 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other
securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion
set forth in TIA (S) 310(b)(1) are met.
SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.
The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA (S) 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA (S) 311(b). A trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA (S) 311(a) to the extent indicated.
SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:

-44-
<PAGE>
applicable to the Indenture Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) shall not violate
any provision of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Indenture Trustee or
(iii) shall not violate any provision of, or constitute, with or without notice
or lapse of time, a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
any lien on any properties included in the Trust Estate pursuant to the
provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking
to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be
expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee's
performance or ability to perform its duties under this Indenture or on the
transactions contemplated in this Indenture;
(d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee
of this Indenture shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of,

banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee; and
(e) this Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Indenture Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 6.14 Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession
of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of
any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be
for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly
provided herein) the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has
been obtained.
SECTION 6.15 Suit for Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee in its discretion may, subject to
the provisions of Section 6.1, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture by a Proceeding whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Indenture
Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.

of the Notes shall have the right to direct in writing the time, method and

Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
(d) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders or a class of Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in
person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "ACT" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 11.3.
-59-
<PAGE>
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes (or any one or more
predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the
registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
such Note.
SECTION 11.4 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Rating Agencies under this Indenture shall be made
upon, given or furnished to or filed with such party as specified in Appendix B
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any
condition or event, such notice shall be given as specified in Appendix B to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
(c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event of Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations
created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of
Default.
-60-
<PAGE>
SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to
the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note
providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any
Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in
this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall
cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such
agreements.
SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.
(a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with
another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by
any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.
(b) The provisions of TIA (S)(S) 310 through 317 that impose duties
on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein
unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this
Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.
SECTION 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
(b) All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 11.10 Separability.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
-61-

the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Owners, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays.
If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which
nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any
such nominal date.
SECTION 11.13 GOVERNING LAW.
THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, EXCEPT
THAT THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE HEREUNDER
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS.
SECTION 11.14 Counterparts.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture.
If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public
recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its
expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the
Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the
protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the
enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture.
SECTION 11.16 No Recourse. No recourse may be taken, directly
or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate
or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against:

(or any of their successors or assigns), except as any such Person may have

Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacities) and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable,
to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call
owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the
performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner

REVERSE OF NOTE
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-___ ____% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "CLASS
A-__ NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 25, 1995 (such
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as
trustee (the "INDENTURE TRUSTEE", which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.
The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms
are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the holder
of this Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is
bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note that
are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.
The Class A-___ Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged
as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their
individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or
(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacities) and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such
entity.

<PAGE>
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder will not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Indenture with
respect to the Issuer, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the
Seller or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority
for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller or the
Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or any substantial part of
its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the
Seller or the Issuer.
Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note
Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, unless otherwise required by appropriate
taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the
Receivables for the purpose of federal income taxes, state and local income and
franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon
gross or net income.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of
determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note shall
be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the
Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of all the Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor
Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

<PAGE>
The term "ISSUER" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws, except that the
obligations, rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of
them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said
covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee
solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note
by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for
any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture
or in this Note.

case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee
and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

- ---------

<PAGE>
(c) The Certificates shall be issued in fully-registered form. The
terms of the Certificates set forth in Exhibit A shall form part of this
---------
Agreement.
SECTION 3.3 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. Concurrently
--------------------------------------
with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the initial Certificate Balance to be
executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Seller, signed by its chairman of the board, its president
or any vice president, without further corporate action by the Seller, in
authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit
under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall
appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or Chemical Bank, as
---------
the Owner authenticating agent, by manual signature. Such authentication shall
constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.
SECTION 3.4 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
------------------------------------------------------
Certificates.
- ------------
(a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as provided herein; provided, however, that no
-------- -------
Certificate may be subdivided upon registration of transfer or exchange such
that the denomination of any resulting Certificate would have been less than
$20,000 if such Certificate had been issued in the initial distribution of
Certificates. Chemical Bank shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. Upon any
resignation of a Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint
a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties
of Certificate Registrar.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, the Owner Trustee
shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause
Chemical Bank as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authen-
tication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Seller shall have advised the Owner Trustee in writing that an
Undertaking Letter shall be required with respect to any transfer, such
registration of transfer shall not be effective unless the requirements of
Section 9.11, with respect to the delivery of an Undertaking Letter, shall have
been complied with.
(c) At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust
Office maintained pursuant to Section 3.8. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the
Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Chemical Bank as its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver) one or more Certificates dated
the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.
Such Certificates shall be delivered to the Holder making the exchange.
- 6 -
<PAGE>
(d) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing and such other
documents and instruments as may be required by Section 9.11. Each Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and
subsequently destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the Owner Trustee or
Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
SECTION 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------
(a) If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Trust
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the
Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Chemical Bank as its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a replacement
Certificate in authorized denominations of a like amount; provided, however,
-------- -------
that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, but not a mutilated
Certificate, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable,
then instead of issuing a replacement Certificate the Owner Trustee may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate when so due or payable.
(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Certificate or
distribution in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to
subsection 3.5(a), a bona fide purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of
which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such original
Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement
Certificate (or such distribution) from the Person to whom it was delivered or
any Person taking such replacement Certificate from such Person to whom such
replacement Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a
bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense
incurred by the Owner Trustee in connection therewith.
(c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement Certificate
under this Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee may require the payment by the Holder
of such Certificate of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith.
- 7 -
<PAGE>
(d) Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.5 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Trust, whether
or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at
any time or be enforced by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates
duly issued hereunder.
(e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
SECTION 3.6 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due
---------------------------------
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the Certificateholder of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article V and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the
Certifi-cate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
-----------------------------------------------
Addresses. The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
- ----------
Servicer and the Seller, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a
request therefor from the Servicer or the Seller in writing, a list, in such
form as the Servicer or the Seller may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each
Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed
not to hold any of the Servicer, the Seller or the Owner Trustee accountable by
reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.
SECTION 3.8 Maintenance of Corporate Trust Office. The Owner
-------------------------------------
Trustee shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents
may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the offices of Chemical
Bank, 55 Water Street, New York, New York, as its principal office for such
purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Seller and
to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate
Register or any such office or agency.
SECTION 3.9 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall
---------------------------
make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable
power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the
purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in
its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall
initially be Chemical Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by Chemical Bank, and
acceptable to the Owner Trustee. Chemical Bank shall be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee. If Chemical Bank
shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor
to act as Paying
- 8 -
<PAGE>
Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause
such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the
Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which
such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the
Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for distribution to the
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying
Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of
a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession
to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9
shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long
as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to
any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to
the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.
SECTION 3.10 Disposition by Seller. On and after the Closing Date,
---------------------
the Seller shall retain beneficial and record ownership of Certificates
representing at least 1% of the Certificate Balance. Any attempted transfer of
any Certificate that would reduce such interest of the Seller below 1% of the
Certificate Balance shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate
issued to the Seller to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE". Certificates issued to the Seller shall be in definitive form
only.
SECTION 3.11 Book-Entry Certificates. Except for the Certificates
-----------------------
issued to the Seller, the Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of a typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Clearing Agency by or on behalf of the Trust. Such Certificate or Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner shall
receive a definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.13. Unless and until
definitive fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") shall
have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.13:
(a) the provisions of this Section 3.11 shall be in full force and
effect;
(b) the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Agreement
(including the distribution of Certificate Balance and interest on the
Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the
sole Holder of the Certificate, and shall have no obligation to the
Certificate Owners;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.11 conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
3.11 shall control;
(d) the rights of the Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement in the form attached as
Exhibit C, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to
Section 3.13, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers
among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
distributions of Certificate Balance and interest on the Certificates to
such Clearing Agency Participants;
(e) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken
based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates evidencing
a specified percentage of the Voting Interests, the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received
written instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing
Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of Voting Interests and has delivered such instruc-tions to the
Owner Trustee; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.11
-------- -------
shall not be applicable in respect of Certificates issued to the Seller. The
Seller or the Owner Trustee may set a record date for the purpose of
determining the identity of Holders of Certificates entitled to vote or to
consent to any action by vote as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
--------------------------
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners
pursuant to Section 3.13, the Owner Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Certificateholders to the
Clearing Agency and shall have no further obligation to the Certificate Owners.
SECTION 3.13 Definitive Certificates. If (i) the Administrator
-----------------------
advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Certificates, and the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor,
(ii) the Administrator at its option advises the Owner Trustee in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or
(iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default,
Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a
majority of the Voting Interests advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interest of the Certificate Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall
notify all Certificate Owners and the Owner Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Owner Trustee of the
typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Owner
Trustee shall execute and authenticate the Definitive Certificates in accordance
with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Certificate Registrar
nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Owner
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders.

SECTION 3.14 Seller as Certificateholder. The Seller in its
---------------------------
individual or any other capacity may, subject to Section 3.10, become the owner
or pledgee of Certificates and may otherwise deal with the Owner Trustee or its
Affiliates as if it were not the Seller.

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES
SECTION 5.1 Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account.
-------------------------------------------------
(a) 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 1995-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.
(b) 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 Pooling and Servicing 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
- 12 -
<PAGE>
to transfer any cash and/or any investments in the old Certificate Distribution
Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
SECTION 5.2 Application of Trust Funds.
--------------------------
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall distribute to
the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts deposited in the
Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Pooling and

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to each
Certificateholder the statement described in Section 4.09(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
(c) If any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's distributions
(or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the
amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this
Section 5.2. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for
the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization
shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with
respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such
Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the
appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is
payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such
amounts in accordance with this subsection 5.2(c). If a Certificateholder wishes
to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall
reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as
such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-
pocket expenses incurred.
(d) If the Indenture Trustee holds escheated funds for payment to
the Trust pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall,
upon notice from the Indenture Trustee that such funds exist, submit on behalf
of the Trust an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(e)
of the Indenture instructing the Indenture Trustee to pay such funds to or at
the order of the Seller.
SECTION 5.3 Method of Payment. Subject to subsection 7.1(c),

distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date
shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (i)
by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder
at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (x) the
Certificates are Definitive Certificates, such Certificateholder shall have
provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least
five Business Days prior to such Record Date and the distribution required to be
made to such Holder on such Distribution Date exceeds $100,000 or (y) the
Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates, or, (ii) if neither clause (i)(x) nor
(i)(y) is applicable, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address
of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on the basis of a fiscal year
ending October 31 on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to each
Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations or otherwise, such information as may be required to enable each
Certificateholder to prepare its federal income tax returns, (c) file such tax
returns relating to the Trust and make such elections as may from time to time
be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule
or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust's characterization as a

signed in the manner required by law and (e) collect or cause to be collected
any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with subsection 5.2(c)
with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders. In preparing and
filing tax returns for the Trust, the Owner Trustee shall allocate taxable
income of the Trust for each Monthly Period in the following manner: (A) to the
Certificateholders, in an amount equal to the sum of (1) the product of the Pass
Through Rate multiplied by the Certificate Balance as of the last day of such
month, (2) the amount specified in clause (iii) of the definition of
Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount for such Monthly Period, (3)
any Trust income attributable to discount on the Receivables that corresponds to
any excess of the principal amount of the Certificates over their initial issue
price, and (4) any Prepayment Surplus payable to holders of the Certificates for
such month; and (B) to the Seller, if and to the extent that the taxable income
of the Trust for each month exceeds the amount computed under (A) above. Unless
otherwise permitted or required by any applicable law or regulation, the Owner
Trustee shall allocate amounts of taxable income of the Trust for a particular
calendar month among the Certificateholders in proportion to the principal
amount of Certificates owned by them as of the first Record Date following the
end of such month.
SECTION 5.5 Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. The Owner
-----------------------------------------
Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all tax returns of the Trust,
unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in
which case such documents shall be signed by the Seller. The Seller shall be the
"tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to the Code.

a party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be expected to
have a materially adverse effect on the Owner Trustee's performance or
ability to perform its duties as Owner Trustee under this Agreement or on
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Owner Trustee of
this Agreement shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of,

general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
SECTION 6.7 Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

(a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting
upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to
be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and
need not investigate any fact or matter in any such document. The Owner Trustee
may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other
governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such
resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force
and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is
not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes
hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or

fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
reliance thereon.

reasonable care; and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other
skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it.

expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and
disbursements of such agents, custodians, nominees, representatives, experts and
counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and
performance of its rights and its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall indemnify
the Owner Trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and servants in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
compensation and indemnities described in this Section 6.9 shall survive the

Owner Trustee shall not resign, prior to the time set forth in Section 6.10(c).
The Administrator may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by delivering a written
instrument, in duplicate, to the resigning Owner Trustee and the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice, the
resigning Owner Trustee giving such notice may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. The Administrator
shall remove the Owner Trustee if:
(i) the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6.13 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Administrator;

removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Owner Trustee for any reason,
the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate (one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee)
and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
(c) Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment
of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
6.10 shall not become effective and no such resignation shall be deemed to have
occurred until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor
Owner Trustee to the outgoing Owner Trustee and the Administrator and all fees
and expenses due to the outgoing Owner Trustee are paid. Any successor
-20-
<PAGE>
Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be eligible to act

as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice
of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating
Agencies.

expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and

confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.

successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

----------------------------------------
into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided
such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 6.13, and without the
execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice
of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 6.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time
be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the
Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to
the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6.12, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee pursuant to Section 6.13 and no notice of the appointment of any co-
trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 6.10.
(b) Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
-21-
<PAGE>
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but
solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement
(unless such other trustee acts or fails to act at the direction of such
first trustee); and
(iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at
any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-
trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-
trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording pro-tection
to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT
SECTION 7.1 Termination of Trust Agreement.
------------------------------
(a) This Agreement (other than Section 6.9) and the Trust shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earlier of: (i) the final
distribution by the Owner Trustee of all monies or other property or proceeds of
the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exercise by the Servicer of its
option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) and Article V or (ii) at the time provided in Section
7.2. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any
Certificateholder, other than the Seller as described in Section 7.2, shall not
(x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all
or any part of the Trust or the Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.
(b) Except as provided in Section 7.1(a), neither the Seller nor any
Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust or this
Agreement.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.2, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Paying Agent for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner
Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of
receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to
subsection 9.02(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, stating: (i) the
Distribution Date upon or with respect to which the final distribution on the
Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated; (ii) the amount of any
such final distribution; and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent
therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 5.2.
(d) If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
written notice specified in Section 7.1(c), the Owner Trustee shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto.
- 23 -
<PAGE>
If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain
subject to this Agreement. Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of
funds, any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed property of the Seller and distributed by the
Owner Trustee to the Seller.
(e) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its termination, the Owner
Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a
certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3810 of the Business Trust Statute.
(f) Within sixty days of the later of (i) the cancellation of all of
the Certificates pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(d), or (ii) payment
to the Seller of funds remaining in the Trust pursuant to Section 7.1(d), the
Owner Trustee shall provide each of the Rating Agencies with written notice
stating that all Certificates have been so cancelled or such funds have been so
paid to the Seller.
SECTION 7.2 Dissolution upon Bankruptcy of the Seller. Upon the
-----------------------------------------
occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller, the Trust shall
terminate, subject to the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution procedures
described below, and provided that the rights and obligations of the parties to
this Agreement shall not terminate during such liquidation, winding-up and
dissolution. Promptly after the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect
to the Seller: (i) the Seller shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee written notice of such Insolvency Event, (ii) the Owner Trustee shall,
upon the receipt of such written notice from the Seller, give prompt written
notice to the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of
such event and (iii) pursuant to Section 3.23 of the Indenture, the Indenture
Trustee shall, upon receipt of written notice of such Insolvency Event from the
Owner Trustee or the Seller, give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of
the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that any failure to give a
-------- -------
notice required by this sentence shall not prevent or delay in any manner a
termination of the Trust pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.2.
Ninety days after the date the Seller gives the notice described in the
preceding sentence, unless the Owner Trustee shall have received written
instructions from (a) Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less
than a majority of the Voting Interests as of the close of the preceding
Distribution Date and (b) 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, to the effect that such Persons disapprove of the prospective
liquidation of the assets held by the Trust and the prospective termination of
the Trust and wish to reconstitute the Trust pursuant to terms corresponding to
the terms of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall direct the Indenture
Trustee to promptly sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate or realize upon the
assets of the Trust (other than the Designated Accounts and the Certificate
Distribution Account) in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially
reasonable terms (which may include continuing to hold the Receivables and
receiving collections thereon). The proceeds of any such sale, disposition or
liquidation of the assets of the Trust shall be treated as collections on the
Receivables and deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.02(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and thereupon this Agreement and the
respective obligations and
- 24 -
<PAGE>
responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall terminate (except as otherwise expressly provided
herein).

of a nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in Navistar
Financial 1995-A Owner Trust (the "Trust") formed by Navistar Financial Retail
Receivables Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (the "Seller").
The Trust was created pursuant to a trust agreement, dated as of May
17, 1995 (as amended and restated as of May 25, 1995 and as further amended,
restated or supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"), between the
Seller and CHEMICAL BANK DELAWARE, as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), a

the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated

Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that, solely for purposes of federal
income, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed

as a partnership. Except as otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities, the Seller and the other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners
by acceptance of a Certificate (or interest therein), agree to treat, and to
take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Certificates for such tax
purposes as interests in such partnership.
Each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, by its acceptance of a
Certificate or, in the case of a Certificate Owner, a beneficial interest in a
Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner, as the case may be, shall not, prior to the date which is one year and

substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons (i) in denominations of $20,000 or (ii) integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, except for one Certificate which may be issued to the Seller. As
provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same; provided, however, that no Certificate may be
-------- -------
subdivided upon registration of transfer or exchange in a manner such that the
denomination of any resulting Certificate would
- 6 -
<PAGE>
have been less than $20,000 if such Certificate had been issued in the original
distribution of Certificates. No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and
the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the Trust Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the disposition
of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer of the Receivables may
at its option purchase the assets of the Trust other than the Designated
Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account at a price specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other
property of the Trust shall effect early retirement of the Certificates;
provided, however, that such right of purchase is exercisable only as of the
- -------- -------
last day of any Monthly Period as of which the Aggregate Receivables Balance is
10% or less of the Initial Aggregate Receivables Balance.

makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on
which NFRRC relies in accepting the Receivables. Such representations and
warranties speak as of the date hereof, as of the Closing and as of the closing
under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and shall survive the sale,
transfer and assignment of the Receivables to NFRRC and the subsequent
assignment and transfer pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements:
(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable:
------------------------------
(i) was originated by (A) a Dealer for the retail sale of one or
more Financed Vehicles in the ordinary course of such Dealer's business,
was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, was purchased by
NFC from such Dealer under an existing agreement with NFC and was validly
assigned by such Dealer to NFC in accordance with its terms, (B) a
Distributor for the retail sale of one or more Financed Vehicles in the
ordinary course of such Distributor's business, and was fully and properly

under an existing agreement with NFC and was validly assigned by such
Distributor to NFC in accordance with its terms, or (C) NFC to finance a
retail purchase by a retail customer or a refinancing of a Financed Vehicle
or Financed Vehicles by a retail customer and was fully and properly
executed by the parties thereto;
(ii) has created or shall create a valid, binding and enforceable
first priority security interest in favor of NFC in each Financed Vehicle
related thereto, which security interest will be validly assigned by NFC to
NFRRC and will be assignable by NFRRC to a subsequent purchaser;
(iii) contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization
against the collateral of the benefits of the security;
(iv) shall yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate; and
(v) comes from one of the following categories, which differ in
their provisions for the payment of principal and interest: Equal Payment
Fully Amortizing Receivables, Equal Payment Skip Receivables, Equal Payment
Balloon Receivables, Level Principal Fully Amortizing Receivables, Level
Principal Skip Receivables, Level Principal Balloon Receivables, or Other

that provide for equal monthly payments that fully amortize the amount
financed over its original term to maturity. "Equal Payment Skip
Receivables" are Receivables that provide for equal monthly payments in
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
-3-
<PAGE>
provide for monthly payments consisting of level principal amounts
together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivable
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 Receivable 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 Receivable 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.
(b) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of
----------------------- -----------
Receivables is true and correct in all material respects;
- -----------
(c) Compliance With Law. All requirements of applicable federal, state
-------------------
and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation "B", the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, and any applicable bulk sales or bulk
transfer law and other equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in respect
of any of the Receivables, have been complied with in all material respects, and
each Receivable and the sale of the Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles
evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now
complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the
jurisdiction in which it was originated or made;
(d) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal,
------------------
valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon,
enforceable against the Obligor by the holder thereof in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale,
-------------------------------------
transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto, each Receivable was secured by
a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle or,
in the event a Receivable was secured by more than one Financed Vehicle, in each
Financed Vehicle, each in favor of NFC as secured party, or all necessary and
appropriate action had been commenced that will result, within 100 days
following the Cutoff Date, in the valid perfection of a first priority security
interest in each Financed Vehicle in favor of NFC as secured party (in each case
except for first priority security interests which may exist in any accessions
not financed by NFC);
(f) Receivables In Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated
--------------------
or rescinded, and no Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable has been released
from the Lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part;
(g) No Waiver. Since the Cutoff Date, no provision of a Receivable has
---------
been waived, altered or modified in any respect;
-4-

or otherwise modified such that the total number of the Obligor's Scheduled
Payments is increased or the Initial Receivable Balance is increased;

-----------
has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable;
(j) No Liens. There are, to NFC's knowledge, no Liens or claims that have
--------
been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Financed Vehicle securing
any Receivable that are or may be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the
security interest in each Financed Vehicle granted by the Receivable (except for
Liens or claims which may exist in any accessions to the Financed Vehicles not
financed by NFC);
(k) No Default. There has been no default, breach, violation or event
----------
permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and no event has
occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of time would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under
the terms of any Receivable, and NFC has not waived any of the foregoing, in
each case except for payments on any Receivables which are not more than 60 days
past due (measured from the date of any Scheduled Payment) as of the Cutoff
Date;
(l) Insurance. Each Obligor is required to maintain a physical damage
---------
insurance policy for each Financed Vehicle of the type that NFC requires in
accordance with its customary underwriting standards for the purchase of medium
and heavy duty truck, bus and trailer receivables, unless NFC has in accordance
with its customary procedures permitted an Obligor to self-insure such Financed
Vehicle;
(m) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or
----------
pledged by NFC to any Person other than NFRRC; immediately prior to the
conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, NFC had good and
marketable title thereto, free of any Lien (except for any Lien which may exist
in accessions to the Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC); and, upon execution
and delivery of this Agreement by NFC, NFRRC shall have all of the right, title
and interest of NFC in and to the Purchased Property, free of any Lien (except
for any Lien which may exist in accessions to the Financed Vehicles not financed
by NFC);
(n) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to
-----------------
the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale,
transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or any Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements;
(o) All Filings Made. All filings necessary under the UCC in any
----------------
jurisdiction to give NFRRC 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;
(p) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each
------------
Receivable;
(q) No Documents or Instruments. No Receivable, or constituent part
---------------------------
thereof, constitutes a "negotiable instrument" or "negotiable document of title"
(as such terms are used in the UCC);
-5-

------------------ -----------
Receivables were selected on a random basis from all Retail Notes satisfying the
- -----------
selection criteria described herein, and no selection procedures believed to be
adverse to NFRRC or to holders of the Securities issued under the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements were utilized in selecting the Receivables
from those Retail Notes of NFC which meet the selection criteria under this
Agreement; and

-----------------------
governmental authority of the United States or any state or political

--------------------------------------------------------
To the extent that any provision of Sections 5.02 through 5.04 of this Agreement

SECTION 5.02. Protection of Title.

-------
cause to be executed and filed such continuation and other statements, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,

and interest of NFRRC in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under NFC.
SECTION 5.04. Repurchase Events. By its execution of the Further Transfer
-----------------

acknowledge the assignment
-10-
<PAGE>
by NFRRC of such of its right, title and interest in, to and under this
Agreement to the Issuer as shall be provided in the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements. NFC hereby covenants and agrees with NFRRC for the benefit
of NFRRC and the Interested Parties, that in the event of a breach of any of
NFC's representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 hereof with
respect to any Receivable (a "REPURCHASE EVENT") as of the second Accounting
Date following NFC's discovery or its receipt of notice of breach (or, at NFC's
election, the first Accounting Date following such discovery), unless such

without further notice from NFRRC hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase
Event with respect to a Receivable for which NFRRC is the Owner, NFC agrees to
repurchase such Receivable from NFRRC for an amount and upon the same terms as
NFC would be obligated to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer if the
Issuer was then the Owner thereof, and upon payment of such amount, NFC shall
have such rights with respect to such Receivable as if NFC had purchased such
Receivable from the Issuer as the Owner thereof. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of NFC to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute
the sole remedy against NFC for such breach available to NFRRC or any Interested
Party.
SECTION 5.05. Indemnification. NFC shall indemnify NFRRC for any
---------------
liability as a result of the failure of a Receivable to be originated in
compliance with all require ments of law and for any breach of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein. This indemnity obligation shall
be in addition to any obligation that NFC may otherwise have.
SECTION 5.06. Further Assignments. NFC acknowledges that NFRRC may,
-------------------
pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, sell the Receivables
to the Issuer and assign its rights hereunder to the Issuer, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and that
the Issuer may in turn further pledge, assign or transfer its rights in the
Receivables and this Agreement. NFC further acknowledges that NFRRC may assign
its rights under the Custodian Agreement to the Issuer.
SECTION 5.07. Pre-Closing Collections. Within two Business Days after
-----------------------
the Closing, NFC shall transfer to the account or accounts designated by NFRRC
(or by the Issuer under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements) all

acknowledges and agrees that the rights pursuant to the NITC Purchase
Obligations are personal to NFC, and only the proceeds of such rights have been
assigned to NFRRC. NFRRC 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,
NFRRC.
SECTION 5.09. Sale Treatment. NFC intends to treat the transfer and
--------------
assignment described herein as a sale for accounting and tax purposes.

THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT is made as of May 25, 1995 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 1995-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:
---------
1
<PAGE>
(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.
2
<PAGE>
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
3
<PAGE>
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
4
<PAGE>
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
5
<PAGE>
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
6
<PAGE>
(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, 2001.
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.
7
<PAGE>
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.

---------------------------------------------------------
Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to 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
- -----------------------
9
<PAGE>
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.

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.

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

(vi) sixth, to the Reserve Account, any portion of the Total
Available Amount remaining after the distributions described in clauses (i)

been paid in full and the principal balance of the Notes has been declared
immediately due and payable following the
11
<PAGE>
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. 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 1995-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

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.

-----------------------------
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall include with each
distribution to each Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall include

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

(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

---------------------------------------
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

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) (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 1995-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 1995-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 1995-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.
(b) (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 Group 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.

<PAGE>
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
16
<PAGE>
(v) 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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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 Group and P-1 by Moody's 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
17
<PAGE>
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.

--------------
knowledge, investigations pending or, to such Party's knowledge, threatened
before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal

or the Administration Agreement.
(b) Representations and Warranties of the Seller Only.

(b) failure on the part of the Seller or the Servicer to duly observe or

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

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,
26
<PAGE>
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.
27
<PAGE>
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 Moody's 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 Moody's 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
28
<PAGE>
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
29
<PAGE>
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.

<PAGE>
(i) to add provisions hereof for the benefit of the Securityholders
or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Administrator;

Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 13(a), the
Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to each of the Rating Agencies.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended by the Issuer, the

consent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other
organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of

agreement in
