Pursuant to the MHR Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint Dr. Mark H. Rachesky (the “MHR Nominee”) to the Board by October 8, 2012, in replacement of an incumbent director. The Settlement Agreements also provide for the appointment of one person mutually agreed upon and designated by the Icahn Group and the MHR Group (the “Mutual Designee”) to the Board, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to unreasonably withheld), in replacement of an incumbent director.

Under each of the Settlement Agreements, among other things, the Company has agreed with the applicable parties to such agreements to: (i) include the Icahn Nominee, the MHR Nominee and the Mutual Designee in the Company’s slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of such nominees; (ii) appoint the Icahn Nominee and the MHR Nominee to the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee (subject to satisfaction of applicable NYSE independence requirements and applicable law); (iii) not take any action to increase the size of the Board above ten directors; (iv) eliminate the Company’s Executive Committee; and (v) grant certain waivers under, and effect certain amendments to, the Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012, as amended from time to time, between the Company and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”) (the “Rights Agreement”).

Under each Settlement Agreement, the Icahn Group or the MHR Group, as applicable, agreed with the Company, among other things, that until the later of (a) the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders and (b) the date that the Icahn Group or the MHR Group, as applicable, no longer has a designee on the Board (the longer of such periods, the “Designation Period”), such party will vote for the Company’s slate of nominees to the Board. In addition, during the Designation Period, each of the Icahn Group or the MHR Group, as applicable, will

If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall fall on a legal holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday. If the annual meeting is omitted on the day herein provided, a special meeting may be held in place thereof, and any business transacted at such special meeting in lieu of annual meeting shall have the same effect as if transacted or held at the annual meeting. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the meeting may be conducted by remote communication to the extent permitted by law.

Section 2. Special Meetings . A special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Chair of the Board or by the Board of Directors.

Such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which an annual or special meeting is to be held.

In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, a majority in voting interest of those present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, or in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time until stockholders holding the amount of stock requisite for a quorum shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

Section 6. Organization . At each meeting of the stockholders, one of the following shall chair the meeting and preside thereat, in the following order of precedence:

(a) the Chair of the Board;

(b) the Chief Executive Officer; or

(c) an Executive Officer in order of rank of office and by seniority within the same rank.

The Secretary, or, if he or she shall be absent from such meeting, the person (who shall be an Assistant Secretary, if an Assistant Secretary shall be present thereat) whom the chair of such meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

Section 7. Conduct of Meetings .

any annual meeting of stockholders (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record (1) on the date of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 8 , (2) on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (3) at the time of the meeting, and that is present in person at the annual meeting and entitled to vote at such annual meeting (if the nominating stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such nominating stockholder is required to be present in person at the meeting) and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth below in this Section 8 , including the provision of the information required by this Section 8 . Full compliance with the foregoing clause (b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to nominate any person for election as a director of the Corporation. For purposes of these By-laws, a “qualified representative” of such stockholder shall be, if such nominating stockholder is (x) a general or limited partnership, any general partner or person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership or (y) a corporation or limited liability company, any officer or person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company or any officer, director, general partner or person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must be received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not more than 150 days, and not less than 120 days, in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 120th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director and as to the stockholder giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below): (i) the name, age, business address, residence address and record address of such person; (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person; (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person; (iv) any information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (v) the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned beneficially but not of record by such person; (vi) whether and the extent to which any transaction or series of transactions has been made or entered into by or on behalf of such persons in relation to any share of stock or other securities of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any hedging or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, dividend rights, options or borrowed or loaned shares) the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes

for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such person with respect to any share of stock of the Corporation; (vii) any pending or threatened litigation in which such person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation; (viii) a summary of all material discussions regarding any business proposed to be taken at the annual meeting between or among such persons and any other beneficial or record owner of shares of any class or series of the Corporation (including the names of such stockholders); (ix) to the extent known by the stockholder giving the notice, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the nominee for election or reelection as a director on the date of such stockholder’s notice; (x) a description of all arrangements or understandings between or among such persons pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by the stockholder and any relationship between or among the stockholder giving notice and any Stockholder Associated Person, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, on the other hand; (xi) any other material relationship between such person, on the one hand, and the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any principal competitor of the Corporation, on the other hand; (xii) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such person with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any principal competitor of the Corporation (including any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement); (xiii) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among the nominating stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (xiv) a statement as to whether either such person intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to elect such person’s nominees and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such nominee. Any information required pursuant to this paragraph shall be supplemented as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to such meeting or adjournment or postponement thereof by the stockholder giving the notice, which shall be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than 10 days after such record date for the meeting or five business days prior to the annual meeting or adjournment or postponement thereof, as applicable. Such notice must be accompanied by (x) a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected, (y) a questionnaire completed and signed by each proposed nominee and (z) a Nominee Agreement signed by each proposed nominee, in each case as required by Article II, Section 4 of these By-laws.

Section 5. Record Date . To determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

ARTICLE XI ARTICLE XII

Indemnification

Section 1. Coverage . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative ( each a “ proceeding ), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director (including, without limitation, serving as a member of a committee of the Board) or officer of the Corporation (which term shall include any predecessor corporation of the Corporation) or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (each an “ indemnitee ), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article XII XI with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof)

 

19


was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article XII XI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article XII XI or otherwise.

Section 2. Claims . If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XII XI is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover payments by the Corporation of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in defending in his or her capacity as a director or officer, a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such claim. In any action brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) or by the Corporation to recover payments by the Corporation of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in defending, in his or her capacity as a director or officer, a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article XII XI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, or in the case of such an action brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to the action.

Section 3. Rights Not Exclusive . The rights conferred on any person by Section 1 and Section 2 of this Article XII XI shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 4. Insurance . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

20


Section 5. Employees . Persons who are not included as indemnities under Section 1 of this Article XII XI but are employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE XII ARTICLE XIII

Amendments

These By-laws as they shall be at any time may be amended, altered or repealed by the Board of Directors at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting if the proposed amendment, alteration or repeal is stated in the notice of the special meeting; but any by-laws made by the Board may be altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders in the manner provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XIII ARTICLE XIV

National Emergency

Section 1. Definition and Application . For the purposes of this Article XI V II the term “ national emergency ” is defined as an emergency situation resulting from an attack upon the United States, a nuclear disaster within the United States, a catastrophe, or other emergency condition, as a result of which attack, disaster, catastrophe or emergency condition a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot readily be convened for action. Persons not directors of the Corporation may conclusively rely upon the determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, at a meeting held or purporting to be held pursuant to this Article XI V II that a national emergency as hereinabove defined exists regardless of the correctness of such determination made or purporting to be made as hereinafter provided. During the existence of a national emergency the provisions of this Article XI V II shall become operative, but, to the extent not inconsistent with such provisions, the other provisions of these By-laws shall remain in effect during any national emergency and upon its termination the provisions of this Article XI V II shall cease to be operative.

Section 2. Meetings, etc. When it is determined in good faith by any director that a national emergency exists, special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by such director. The director calling any such special meeting shall make a reasonable effort to notify all other directors of the time and place of such special meeting, and such effort shall be deemed to constitute the giving of notice of such special meeting, and every director shall be deemed to have waived any requirement, of law or otherwise, that any other notice of such special meeting be given. At any such special meeting two directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business including without limiting the generality hereof the filling of vacancies among directors and officers of the Corporation and the election of additional Executive Officers, Assistant Controllers, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers. The act of a majority of the directors present thereat shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If at any such special meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be only one director present, such director present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained, and no further notice thereof need be given of any such adjournment.

The directors present at any such special meeting shall make reasonable effort to notify all absent directors of any action taken thereat, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken at any such meeting. All directors, officers, employees and agents of, and all persons dealing with, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, may conclusively rely upon any action taken at any such special meeting.

 

21


Section 3. Amendment . The Board of Directors shall have the power to alter, amend, or repeal any of these By-laws by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (  2 / 3 ) of the directors present at any special meeting attended by two (2) or more directors and held in the manner prescribed in Section 2 of this Article XI V II , if it is determined in good faith by said two-thirds (  2 / 3 ) that such alteration, amendment or repeal would be conducive to the proper direction of the Corporation’s affairs.

Section 4. Chair of the Board and Executive Officers . If during the existence of a national emergency, the Chair of the Board becomes incapacitated, cannot by reasonable effort be located or otherwise is unable or unavailable to perform the duties of his or her office, the Board shall elect one of its members to be Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board may, but need not be an officer of or employed in an executive or any other capacity by the Corporation. If, during the existence of a national emergency, the Chief Executive Officer becomes incapacitated or unavailable to perform the duties of his or her office, the Chair of the Board is hereby designated also as Chief Executive Officer and will act as both Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Section 5. Substitute Directors . To the extent required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors during a national emergency, the officers of the Corporation who are present shall be deemed, in order of rank of office and within the same rank in order of election or appointment of such offices, directors for such meeting.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is dated as of October 5, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) and amends that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012 (the “Rights Agreement”) between Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2012, the Board determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein;

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, prior to the Distribution Date, the Company may, and the Rights Agent, if directed by the Company, shall, from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of shares of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, the Rights Agent is hereby directed to join in this Amendment; and

WHEREAS, an officer of the Company has delivered to the Rights Agent a certificate as to the compliance of this Amendment with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Amendment of the Rights Agreement .

 

  (a) Section 1(aa), the definition of “Person”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

“Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association, syndicate or other entity.

 

  (b) Section 1 is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

“Any Other Agreement” means any agreement or arrangement between the Company and any other Person pursuant to which such Person, or its Affiliates, has the right to designate one or more members of the Board.

“Designating Person” shall mean any Person that is a signatory to either the Icahn Agreement or Any Other Agreement, or the Affiliates or Associates of such Person; provided that a designee of such signatory is serving as a member of the Board at such time.

“Icahn Agreement” means the Settlement Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2012, among the Company and the signatories thereto.


“Permitted Activity” means (i) any Permitted Person serving as a director on the Board or the Company’s Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or voting or taking any action in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof), (ii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to: (A) voting or any action to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any vote or action taken, to be taken or proposed to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or (C) any proposal to be made to the Board (or applicable board of directors of any Company Subsidiary) by any director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to matters related to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no agreement, arrangement or understanding shall exist or be deemed to exist between, by or among any Permitted Persons by virtue of: (1) any Permitted Person engaging in any Permitted Activity with any other Permitted Person and subsequently voting or taking any other action similar to the vote or other action taken by another Permitted Person or (2) any decisions or conclusions of any Permitted Persons: (x) relating to the manner that a director should vote on any matter or (y) that a director should present any matter to the Board and/or any officer of the Company (it being understood that no such activity can bind a director from his or her right to freely vote and act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties as a director). For example, if two Permitted Persons meet (either alone or with any board members) and discuss a matter to be acted on, or that they would like to be acted on, by the Board, and those two Permitted Persons reach a conclusion as to how they would like directors to vote or act, and those Permitted Persons tell any board members that conclusion and that the Permitted Persons would like the board members to vote or act in accordance with that conclusion, such activity is “Permitted Activity.”

“Permitted Person” shall mean (i) any member of the Board or (ii) any Affiliate or Associate of a member of the Board, or of any Designating Person or (iii) any employee, officer, director or advisor of any Person referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

 

  (c) The proviso immediately following clause (iv) of Section 1(f), the definition of “Beneficial Owner”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

provided , however , that nothing in this paragraph (f) shall:

 

2


  (A) cause a Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities to be the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” under any clause of this paragraph (f), any securities acquired through such Person’s participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty days (40) after the date of such acquisition, and then only if such securities continue to be owned by such Person as the expiration of forty (40) days;

 

  (B) cause a Person, who is a member of the Board or who is a Designating Person, to be, or be deemed to be, the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any securities of any Permitted Person under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (f) as a result of engaging in any Permitted Activity; or

 

  (C) cause a Person to be, or be deemed to be, the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” under any clause of this paragraph (f), any securities beneficially owned by any director of the Company to the extent such securities were acquired directly from the Company by such director as or pursuant to director compensation for serving as a director of the Company.

2. No Other Amendment; Effect of Amendment . Except as and to the extent expressly modified by this Amendment, the Rights Agreement and the exhibits thereto shall remain in full force and effect in all respects without any modification. This Amendment shall be deemed an amendment to the Rights Agreement and shall become effective on the Effective Date.

3. Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature to this Amendment transmitted electronically shall have the same authority, effect and enforceability as an original signature.

4. Governing Law . This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State; provided, however, that all provisions regarding the rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the Rights Agent shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York, without regard to the principles or rules concerning conflicts of law which might otherwise require application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.

Exhibit A

FORM OF

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE

PREFERRED STOCK

On June 19, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2012 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of a newly authorized series of Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $140.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012, as amended, between the Company and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”).

Rights Certificates; Exercise Period .

Initially, the Rights will be attached to all shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and no separate rights certificates (“Rights Certificates”) will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a distribution date (a “Distribution Date”) will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Acquisition Date”), other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company or certain inadvertent actions by certain stockholders or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. For purposes of the Rights Agreement, beneficial ownership is defined to include ownership of derivative securities.


Until a Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates for the Common Stock (or, in the case of shares reflected on the direct registration system, by the notations in the book-entry account system) and will only be transferable with such Common Stock, (ii) new Common Stock certificates issued after the Record Date will contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company reserves the right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below) that, upon any exercise of Rights, a number of Rights be exercised so that only whole shares of Preferred Stock will be issued.

The Rights are not exercisable until a Distribution Date and will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time on June 18, 2013, unless such date is extended or the Rights are earlier redeemed, exchanged or terminated.

As soon as practicable after a Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on a Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, only shares of Common Stock issued prior to a Distribution Date will be issued with Rights.

Flip-in Trigger .

In the event that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the independent directors determine to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms, each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of the event set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. However, Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of the event set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below. Any person who, together with its affiliates and associates, beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the time of first public announcement of the Rights Agreement (an “Exempt Person”) shall not be deemed an Acquiring Person, but only for so long as such person, together with its affiliates and associates, does not, while such person is an Exempt Person, become the beneficial owner of a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Exempt Person as of the Exempt Time.


Flip-over Trigger .

In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged, or (iii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which have previously been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The events set forth in this paragraph and in the second preceding paragraph are referred to as the “Triggering Events.”

Exchange Feature .

At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock, or one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

Equitable Adjustments .

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a dividend on the Preferred Stock payable in shares of Preferred Stock, a subdivision or split of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, a combination or consolidation of Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares through a reverse stock split or otherwise, or reclassification of the Preferred Stock, (ii) if holders of the Preferred Stock are granted certain rights, options or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Stock of cash (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends), assets, evidences of indebtedness or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. No fractional Units will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.


Redemption Rights .

At any time until ten business days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board). Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 redemption price.

Miscellaneous .

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no separate rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends in respect of Rights. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company or in the event of the redemption of the Rights as set forth above.

Amendment .

Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board prior to a Distribution Date. After a Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights, or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable.

Anti-Takeover Effects .

The Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights may cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire the Company without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not supported by the Board.


A copy of the Rights Agreement has been or will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on form 8-A or a Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Prior Agreement . The parties hereto agree that the parties’ prior agreement, dated November 14, 2011, is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force or effect.

2. Board and Committee Representation .

(a) The Company agrees:

Intrieri and his Replacement, the “Icahn Nominee”), as a Class I or Class II director in replacement of a director serving on the Board of the Company on the date hereof (any such director, an “Incumbent Director”), subject, if not previously executed, to such nominee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Company’s standard director nomination documentation in the form previously provided to the Icahn Group (which documentation included such nominee’s consent to be named as a nominee in the Company’s proxy statement for the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, which shall not be held later than February 28, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), and to serve as a director if so elected (collectively, the “Nomination Documents”));

 

  (ii) Reserved

 

  (iii)

  mutually designated by the Icahn Group and the MHR Group, the “Mutual Designee”) to the Board, as a Class I or Class II director in replacement of an Incumbent Director (and, if such proposed designee is not an Acceptable Person, the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder shall be entitled to continue designating a potential Mutual Designee until such proposed designee is an Acceptable Person), subject, if not previously executed, to such nominee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Nomination Documents and the resignation referred to in Section 2(c); provided, that if, for any reason, the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder fail to provide the Company with written notice of the selection of any designee prior to the later of December 15, 2012 and twenty (20) days after notice from the Company that a particular designee is not an Acceptable Person, then the right of the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder to designate the Mutual Designee shall immediately and permanently terminate. The Company agrees that any appointment of a Mutual Designee shall occur within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice by the Company from the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder of such selection of an Acceptable Person as described herein and the other documents described in this Section 2(a)(iii). The Company represents that the Other Shareholder Agreement contains the same terms and conditions as this Agreement (other than Section 1 and Section 3(d)), including the Confidentiality Agreement (as hereinafter defined), but with all references to the Icahn Group, the Icahn Affiliates and the Icahn Nominee under this Agreement being changed to the Other Shareholder, the Other Shareholder Affiliates and the Other Shareholder Nominee, as applicable, and such other modifications as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the Other Shareholder as a party;

The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Icahn Nominee does not have a material relationship with the Company as such term is used in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Manual by virtue of the Icahn Group’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof;

 

2


  (vi) should any Icahn Nominee or the Mutual Designee resign from the Board or be rendered unable to, or refuse to, be appointed to, or to serve on, the Board (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Company for an Annual Meeting subsequent to the 2013 Annual Meeting), the Icahn Group, in the case of any Icahn Nominee, and the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder, in the case of the Mutual Designee, shall be entitled to designate a replacement that is an Acceptable Person for each such Icahn Nominee or Mutual Designee (and if such proposed designee is not an Acceptable Person, the Icahn Group, in the case of the Icahn Nominee, and the Icahn Group and the Other Shareholder, in the case of the Mutual Designee, shall be entitled to continue designating a replacement until such proposed designee is an Acceptable Person) (a “Replacement”); and the Company shall take all necessary action within its control necessary to satisfy the requirements under Section 2(a) as promptly as practicable. Any such Replacement who becomes a Board member in replacement of an Icahn Nominee shall be deemed to be the Icahn Nominee for all purposes under this Agreement, and any such Replacement who becomes a Board member in replacement of the Mutual Designee shall be deemed to be the Mutual Designee for all purposes under this Agreement, and in each case, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to execute the Nomination Documents and an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or Exhibit C (as applicable) and deliver it to the Company;

 

  (vii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the Icahn Nominee and the Mutual Designee to the Board at the 2013 Annual Meeting (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the Icahn Nominee and the Mutual Designee, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting and otherwise supporting such nominees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate);

 

  (viii)

for any Annual Meeting subsequent to the 2013 Annual Meeting, to notify the Icahn Group prior to the August 31st immediately preceding such Annual Meeting (which such date of notification shall in no event be less than 20 calendar days before the advance notice deadlines set forth in Sections 8 and 9 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as such date may change from time to time) whether any Icahn Nominee or the Mutual Designee will be nominated by the Company for election as a director at such Annual Meeting and to use commercially reasonable

 

3


  efforts to cause the election of any such nominees so nominated by the Company (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of any such nominees, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for such Annual Meeting and otherwise supporting any such nominee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate);

 

  (ix) that as of the date hereof, the Company represents and warrants that the Board is composed of ten (10) directors and that there are no vacancies on the Board. The Company agrees that, from and after the date hereof, so long as an Icahn Nominee is a member of the Board, the Company shall not take any action, or support any person who is seeking, to increase the size of the Board above ten (10) directors, each having one vote on all matters; and

 

  (x) no later than October 5, 2012, the Company shall disband the Executive Committee of the Board and amend its by-laws and the applicable corporate governance guidelines of the Company to eliminate the Executive Committee of the Board; and if the Company subsequently creates an executive committee and at such time an Icahn Nominee is a member of the Board, to include an Icahn Nominee on such executive committee.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date hereof, the Icahn Group, together with all controlled Affiliates of the members of the Icahn Group (such controlled Affiliates, collectively and individually, the “Icahn Affiliates”), ceases collectively to beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), at least 5,125,250 shares of Common Stock as of such date, (1) the Icahn Group shall cause the Icahn Nominee to promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then sits and (2) the Company shall have no further obligations under this Section 2. In furtherance of this Section 2(b), any Icahn Nominee shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, and each member of the Icahn Group shall cause each such Icahn Nominee to, execute an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and deliver it to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement: the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act; and the terms “person” or “persons” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date hereof, the Board Representation Period for either the Icahn Group or the Other Shareholder (such period with

 

4


respect to the Other Shareholder as defined in the Other Shareholder Agreement) terminates, then the Mutual Designee shall promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then sits; provided, however that if, and so long as, the Board Representation Period remains in effect for either the Icahn Group or the Other Shareholder (either the Icahn Group or the Other Shareholder, as applicable, the “Continuing Shareholder”) and such group beneficially owns at least 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Icahn Group or the Other Shareholder, as applicable, shall be entitled to designate an Acceptable Person as a Replacement to replace the Mutual Designee. If the Continuing Shareholder does not beneficially own at least 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Continuing Shareholder shall cease to have any rights related to the appointment of a Mutual Designee under this Agreement. In furtherance of this Section 2(c), the Mutual Designee shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, execute an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and deliver it to the Company.

For so long as the Rights Agreement (or a New Rights Plan) is in effect, no “Permitted Activity” under the Rights Agreement (or New Rights Plan) shall constitute a violation of this Section 3(a) or 3(c).

6

[CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT]

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

[            ], 201[    ]

To:     [Each of the persons or entities listed on Schedule A hereto (the “ Icahn Group ”)]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall become effective upon the appointment of any Icahn Nominee to the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Navistar International Corporation (the “ Company ”) at which time the parties shall execute the signature page hereto. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Settlement Agreement (the “ Settlement Agreement ”), effective as of October 5, 2012, among the Company and the Icahn Group. The Company understands and agrees that, subject to the terms of, and in accordance with, this letter agreement, the Icahn Nominee may, if and to the extent he or she desires to do so (in his or her sole and absolute discretion), disclose information he or she obtains while a member of the Board to you and your Representatives (as hereinafter defined) and to any Designating Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company and its attorneys, directors, officers and employees subject to such confidentiality agreement, and may discuss such information with any and all such persons. As a result, you may receive certain non-public information regarding the Company. You acknowledge that this information is proprietary to the Company and may include trade secrets or other business information the disclosure of which could harm the Company. In consideration for, and as a condition of, the information being furnished to you and, subject to the restrictions in paragraph 2, your attorneys, directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “ Representatives ”), you agree to treat any and all information concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that is furnished to you or your Representatives (regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, including without limitation in written or electronic format or orally, gathered by visual inspection or otherwise) by any Icahn Nominee, or by or on behalf of the Company, together with any notes, analyses, reports, models, compilations, studies, interpretations, documents, records or extracts thereof containing, referring, relating to, based upon or derived from such information, in whole or in part (collectively, “ Evaluation Material ”), in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement, and to take or abstain from taking the other actions hereinafter set forth. The term “ Designating Person ” shall mean any Person that has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which such person has the right to designate one or more members of the Board and a designee of such Person is serving as a member of the Board at such time.


1. The term “Evaluation Material” does not include information that (i) is or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a direct or indirect disclosure by you or your Representatives in violation of this letter agreement or any obligation of confidentiality, (ii) was within your or any of your Representatives’ possession on a non-confidential basis prior to its being furnished to you by any Icahn Nominee, or by or on behalf of the Company or its agents, representatives, attorneys, advisors, directors, officers or employees (collectively, the “ Company Representatives ”) or (iii) is received from a source other than any Icahn Nominee, the Company or any of the Company Representatives; provided , that in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, the source of such information was not believed to you, after reasonable inquiry of the disclosing person, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other person with respect to such information at the time the same was disclosed.

2. You and your Representatives will, and you will cause your Representatives to, (a) keep the Evaluation Material strictly confidential and (b) not disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Company; provided , however , that you may disclose any of such information: (A) to your Representatives (i) who need to know such information for the sole purpose of advising you and (ii) who are informed by you of the confidential nature of such information; provided , further , that you will be responsible for any violation of this letter agreement by your Representatives as if they were parties hereto, except that you will not be so responsible with respect to any such Representative who has executed a copy of this letter agreement as an Additional Signatory and delivered such signed copy to the Company or (B) to any Designating Person who has executed a copy of a confidentiality agreement with the Company and its attorneys, directors, officers and employees subject to such confidentiality agreement. It is understood and agreed that no Icahn Nominee shall disclose to you or your Representatives any Legal Advice (as defined below) that may be included in the Evaluation Material with respect to which such disclosure would constitute waiver of the Company’s attorney client privilege or attorney work product privilege; provided , however , that an Icahn Nominee may provide such disclosure if such Icahn Nominee shall not have taken any action, or failed to take any action, that has the purpose or effect of waiving attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege with respect to any portion of such Legal Advice and if reputable outside legal counsel of national standing provides the Company with a written opinion that such disclosure will not waive the Company’s attorney client privilege or attorney work product privilege with respect to such Legal Advice. “Legal Advice” as used herein shall be solely and exclusively limited to the advice provided by legal counsel and shall not include factual information or the formulation or analysis of business strategy.

3. In the event that you or any of your Representatives are required by applicable subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement to disclose any of the Evaluation Material, you will promptly notify (except where such notice would be legally prohibited) the Company in writing by facsimile and certified mail so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and if the Company seeks such an order, you will provide such cooperation as the Company shall reasonably request), at its cost and expense. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent you or your Representatives, as the case may be, from honoring a subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement that requires discovery, disclosure or production of the Evaluation Material if (a) you produce or disclose only that portion of the Evaluation Material which your outside legal counsel of national standing advises you is legally required to be so produced or disclosed and you inform the recipient of such Evaluation Material of the existence


of this letter agreement and the confidential nature of such Evaluation Material; or (b) the Company consents in writing to having the Evaluation Material produced or disclosed pursuant to the subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement. In no event will you or any of your Representatives oppose action by the Company to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of the Evaluation Material or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Evaluation Material. It is understood that there shall be no “legal requirement” requiring you to disclose any Evaluation Material solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, you would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or engaging in derivative or other transactions with respect to, the Common Stock of the Company or otherwise proposing or making an offer to do any of the foregoing or making any offer, including any tender offer, or you would be unable to file any proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.

4. You acknowledge that (a) none of the Company or any of the Company Representatives makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material, and (b) none of the Company or any of the Company Representatives shall have any liability to you or to any of your Representatives relating to or resulting from the use of the Evaluation Material or any errors therein or omissions therefrom. You and your Representatives shall not directly or indirectly initiate contact or communication with any executive or employee of the Company other than the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer concerning Evaluation Material, or to seek any information in connection therewith from any such person other than the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, without the prior consent of the Company; provided, however, the restriction in this sentence shall not in any way apply to any Icahn Nominee or other Board members.

5. All Evaluation Material shall remain the property of the Company. Neither you nor any of your Representatives shall by virtue of any disclosure of and/or your use of any Evaluation Material acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including all intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the Company. At any time after the date on which no Icahn Nominee is a director of the Company, upon the request of the Company for any reason, you will promptly return to the Company all hard copies of the Evaluation Material and use commercially reasonable efforts to permanently erase or delete all electronic copies of the Evaluation Material in your or any of your Representatives’ possession or control (and, upon the request of the Company, shall certify to the Company that such Evaluation Material has been erased or deleted, as the case may be). Notwithstanding the return or erasure or deletion of Evaluation Material, you and your Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations contained herein.

6. You acknowledge, and will advise your Representatives, that the Evaluation Material may constitute material non-public information under applicable federal and state securities laws, and that you shall not, and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your Representatives, do not, trade or engage in any derivative or other transaction, on the basis of such information in violation of such laws.

7. You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that (i) you have all requisite company power and authority to execute and deliver this letter agreement and to


perform your obligations hereunder, (ii) this letter agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by you, and is a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its terms, (iii) this Agreement will not result in a violation of any terms or conditions of any agreements to which you are a party or by which you may otherwise be bound or of any law, rule, license, regulation, judgment, order or decree governing or affecting you, and (iv) your entry into this Agreement does not require approval by any owners or holders of any equity interest in you (except as has already been obtained).

8. Any waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this letter agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this letter agreement. The failure of the Company to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this letter agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive the Company of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this letter agreement.

9. You acknowledge and agree that the value of the Evaluation Material to the Company is unique and substantial, but may be impractical or difficult to assess in monetary terms. You further acknowledge and agree that in the event of an actual or threatened violation of this letter agreement, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that, in addition to any and all other remedies which may be available to the Company at law or equity, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this letter agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this letter agreement exclusively in the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this letter agreement, you shall not allege, and you hereby waive the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

10. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief, and (e) irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight delivery service, signature requested, to the address of such party’s principal place of business or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.


11. This letter agreement and the Settlement Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and this letter agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto.

12. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for herein and all legal process in regard hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed validly given, made or served, if (a) given by telecopy and email, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number set forth below and sent to the email address set forth below and the appropriate confirmation is received or (b) if given by any other means, when actually received during normal business hours at the address specified in this subsection:

EXHIBIT E

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is dated as of October [ ], 2012 (the “Effective Date”) and amends that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012 (the “Rights Agreement”) between Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2012, the Board determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein;

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, prior to the Distribution Date, the Company may, and the Rights Agent, if directed by the Company, shall, from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of shares of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, the Rights Agent is hereby directed to join in this Amendment; and

WHEREAS, an officer of the Company has delivered to the Rights Agent a certificate as to the compliance of this Amendment with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment of the Rights Agreement .

 

  (a) Section 1(aa), the definition of “Person”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

“Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association, syndicate or other entity.

 

  (b) Section 1 is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

“Any Other Agreement” means any agreement or arrangement between the Company and any other Person pursuant to which such Person, or its Affiliates, has the right to designate one or more members of the Board.

“Designating Person” shall mean any Person that is a signatory to either the Icahn Agreement or Any Other Agreement, or the Affiliates or Associates of such Person; provided that a designee of such signatory is serving as a member of the Board at such time.

 

4


“Icahn Agreement” means the Settlement Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2012, among the Company and the signatories thereto.

“Permitted Activity” means (i) any Permitted Person serving as a director on the Board or the Company’s Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or voting or taking any action in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof), (ii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to: (A) voting or any action to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any vote or action taken, to be taken or proposed to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or (C) any proposal to be made to the Board (or applicable board of directors of any Company Subsidiary) by any director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to matters related to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no agreement, arrangement or understanding shall exist or be deemed to exist between, by or among any Permitted Persons by virtue of: (1) any Permitted Person engaging in any Permitted Activity with any other Permitted Person and subsequently voting or taking any other action similar to the vote or other action taken by another Permitted Person or (2) any decisions or conclusions of any Permitted Persons: (x) relating to the manner that a director should vote on any matter or (y) that a director should present any matter to the Board and/or any officer of the Company (it being understood that no such activity can bind a director from his or her right to freely vote and act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties as a director). For example, if two Permitted Persons meet (either alone or with any board members) and discuss a matter to be acted on, or that they would like to be acted on, by the Board, and those two Permitted Persons reach a conclusion as to how they would like directors to vote or act, and those Permitted Persons tell any board members that conclusion and that the Permitted Persons would like the board members to vote or act in accordance with that conclusion, such activity is “Permitted Activity.”

“Permitted Person” shall mean (i) any member of the Board or (ii) any Affiliate or Associate of a member of the Board, or of any Designating Person or (iii) any employee, officer, director or advisor of any Person referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

 

5


  (c) The proviso immediately following clause (iv) of Section 1(f), the definition of “Beneficial Owner”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

provided , however , that nothing in this paragraph (f) shall:

 

  (A) cause a Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities to be the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” under any clause of this paragraph (f), any securities acquired through such Person’s participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty days (40) after the date of such acquisition, and then only if such securities continue to be owned by such Person as the expiration of forty (40) days;

 

  (B) cause a Person, who is a member of the Board or who is a Designating Person, to be, or be deemed to be, the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any securities of any Permitted Person under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (f) as a result of engaging in any Permitted Activity; or

 

  (C) cause a Person to be, or be deemed to be, the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” under any clause of this paragraph (f), any securities beneficially owned by any director of the Company to the extent such securities were acquired directly from the Company by such director as or pursuant to director compensation for serving as a director of the Company.

EXECUTION VERSION

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

This Settlement Agreement, effective as of October 5, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is by and among the persons and entities listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “MHR Group”, and individually a “member” of the MHR Group) and Navistar International Corporation (the “Company”). In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Reserved

2. Board and Committee Representation .

(a) The Company agrees:

 

  (i) no later than October 8, 2012, to appoint Mark H. Rachesky (the designee of the MHR Group) or his Replacement (as hereinafter defined) (Mr. Rachesky and his Replacement, the “MHR Nominee”), as a Class I or Class II director in replacement of a director serving on the Board of the Company on the date hereof (any such director, an “Incumbent Director”), subject, if not previously executed, to such nominee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Company’s standard director nomination documentation, in the form previously provided to the MHR Group (which documentation included such nominee’s consent to be named as a nominee in the Company’s proxy statement for the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, which shall not be held later than February 28, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), and to serve as a director if so elected (collectively, the “Nomination Documents”));

 

  (ii) Reserved

 

  (iii)

to appoint an additional person approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (any such person, an “Acceptable Person”) (or such person’s Replacement) mutually designated by the MHR Group and the Icahn Group (as defined in that certain Settlement Agreement by and among the Company and the members of the Icahn Group signatory thereto, dated as of October 5, 2012 (the “Other Shareholder Agreement”; such Icahn Group members entering into such Settlement Agreement, the “Other Shareholder”, and the person so mutually designated by the MHR Group and the Icahn Group, the “Mutual


  Designee”) to the Board, as a Class I or Class II director in replacement of an Incumbent Director (and, if such proposed designee is not an Acceptable Person, the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder shall be entitled to continue designating a potential Mutual Designee until such proposed designee is an Acceptable Person), subject, if not previously executed, to such nominee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Nomination Documents and the resignation referred to in Section 2(c); provided, that if, for any reason, the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder fail to provide the Company with written notice of the selection of any designee prior to the later of December 15, 2012 and twenty (20) days after notice from the Company that a particular designee is not an Acceptable Person, then the right of the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder to designate the Mutual Designee shall immediately and permanently terminate. The Company agrees that any appointment of a Mutual Designee shall occur within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice by the Company from the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder of such selection of an Acceptable Person as described herein and the other documents described in this Section 2(a)(iii). The Company represents that the Other Shareholder Agreement contains the same terms and conditions as this Agreement (other than a provision relating to the termination of that certain agreement between the Company and Other Shareholders, dated November 14, 2011 and the withdrawal of the Other Shareholder’s books and records demand and related matters), including the Confidentiality Agreement (as hereinafter defined), but with all references to the Icahn Group, the Icahn Affiliates and the Icahn Nominee under this Agreement being changed to the Other Shareholder, the Other Shareholder Affiliates and the Other Shareholder Nominee, as applicable, and such other modifications as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the Other Shareholder as a party;

 

  (iv) to include the MHR Nominee and the Mutual Designee in the Company’s slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at the 2013 Annual Meeting;

 

  (v) subject to (A) compliance with applicable New York Stock Exchange listing requirements, being, as of the date hereof, those set forth in Sections 303A.02 and 303A.04 of the New York Stock Exchange listed company manual (the “NYSE Manual”) and (B) compliance with changes in applicable law after the date hereof, no later than October 8, 2012, and at all times thereafter provided an MHR Nominee is a member of the Board, to include an MHR Nominee on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or such other committee responsible for the organizational structure of the Board and its committees, including the search to identify a chief executive officer). The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the MHR Nominee does not have a material relationship with the Company as such term is used in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Manual by virtue of the MHR Group’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof;

 

2


  (vi) should any MHR Nominee or the Mutual Designee resign from the Board or be rendered unable to, or refuse to, be appointed to, or to serve on, the Board (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Company for an Annual Meeting subsequent to the 2013 Annual Meeting), the MHR Group, in the case of any MHR Nominee, and the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder, in the case of the Mutual Designee, shall be entitled to designate a replacement that is an Acceptable Person for each such MHR Nominee or Mutual Designee (and if such proposed designee is not an Acceptable Person, the MHR Group, in the case of the MHR Nominee, and the MHR Group and the Other Shareholder, in the case of the Mutual Designee, shall be entitled to continue designating a replacement until such proposed designee is an Acceptable Person) (a “Replacement”); and the Company shall take all necessary action within its control necessary to satisfy the requirements under Section 2(a) as promptly as practicable. Any such Replacement who becomes a Board member in replacement of an MHR Nominee shall be deemed to be the MHR Nominee for all purposes under this Agreement, and any such Replacement who becomes a Board member in replacement of the Mutual Designee shall be deemed to be the Mutual Designee for all purposes under this Agreement, and in each case, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to execute the Nomination Documents and an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or Exhibit C (as applicable) and deliver it to the Company;

 

  (vii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the MHR Nominee and the Mutual Designee to the Board at the 2013 Annual Meeting (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the MHR Nominee and the Mutual Designee, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting and otherwise supporting such nominees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate);

 

  (viii)

for any Annual Meeting subsequent to the 2013 Annual Meeting, to notify the MHR Group prior to the August 31st immediately preceding such Annual Meeting (which such date of notification shall in no event be less than 20 calendar days before the advance notice deadlines set forth in Sections 8 and 9 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as such date may change from time to time) whether any MHR Nominee or the Mutual Designee will be nominated by the Company for election as a

 

3


  director at such Annual Meeting and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of any such nominees so nominated by the Company (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of any such nominees, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for such Annual Meeting and otherwise supporting any such nominee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate);

 

  (ix) that as of the date hereof, the Company represents and warrants that the Board is composed of ten (10) directors and that there are no vacancies on the Board. The Company agrees that, from and after the date hereof, so long as an MHR Nominee is a member of the Board, the Company shall not take any action, or support any person who is seeking, to increase the size of the Board above ten (10) directors, each having one vote on all matters; and

 

  (x) no later than October 5, 2012, the Company shall disband the Executive Committee of the Board and amend its by-laws and the applicable corporate governance guidelines of the Company to eliminate the Executive Committee of the Board; and if the Company subsequently creates an executive committee and at such time an MHR Nominee is a member of the Board, to include an MHR Nominee on such executive committee.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date hereof, the MHR Group, together with all controlled Affiliates of the members of the MHR Group (such controlled Affiliates, collectively and individually, the “MHR Affiliates”), ceases collectively to beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), at least 5,137,500 shares of Common Stock as of such date, (1) the MHR Group shall cause the MHR Nominee to promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then sits and (2) the Company shall have no further obligations under this Section 2. In furtherance of this Section 2(b), any MHR Nominee shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, and each member of the MHR Group shall cause each such MHR Nominee to, execute an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and deliver it to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement: the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act; and the terms “person” or “persons” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date hereof, the Board Representation Period for either the MHR Group or the Other Shareholder (such period with respect to the Other Shareholder as defined in the Other Shareholder Agreement) terminates, then the Mutual Designee shall promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then sits; provided, however that if, and so long as, the Board Representation Period remains in effect for either the MHR Group or the Other Shareholder (either the MHR Group or the Other Shareholder, as applicable, the “Continuing Shareholder”) and such group beneficially owns at least 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the MHR Group or the Other Shareholder, as applicable, shall be entitled to designate an Acceptable Person as a Replacement to replace the Mutual Designee. If the Continuing Shareholder does not beneficially own at least 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Continuing Shareholder shall cease to have any rights related to the appointment of a Mutual Designee under this Agreement. In furtherance of this Section 2(c), the Mutual Designee shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, execute an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and deliver it to the Company.

Furthermore, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief and (e) irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight mail delivery service, signature requested, to the address of such party’s principal place of business or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

12. No Waiver . Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

[CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT]

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

[            ], 201[    ]

To: [Each of the persons or entities listed on Schedule A hereto (the “ MHR Group ”)]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall become effective upon the appointment of any MHR Nominee to the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Navistar International Corporation (the “ Company ”) at which time the parties shall execute the signature page hereto. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Settlement Agreement (the “ Settlement Agreement ”), effective as of October 5, 2012, among the Company and the MHR Group. The Company understands and agrees that, subject to the terms of, and in accordance with, this letter agreement, the MHR Nominee may, if and to the extent he or she desires to do so (in his or her sole and absolute discretion), disclose information he or she obtains while a member of the Board to you and your Representatives (as hereinafter defined) and to any Designating Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company and its attorneys, directors, officers and employees subject to such confidentiality agreement, and may discuss such information with any and all such persons. As a result, you may receive certain non-public information regarding the Company. You acknowledge that this information is proprietary to the Company and may include trade secrets or other business information the disclosure of which could harm the Company. In consideration for, and as a condition of, the information being furnished to you and, subject to the restrictions in paragraph 2, your attorneys, directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “ Representatives ”), you agree to treat any and all information concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that is furnished to you or your Representatives (regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, including without limitation in written or electronic format or orally, gathered by visual inspection or otherwise) by any MHR Nominee, or by or on behalf of the Company, together with any notes, analyses, reports, models, compilations, studies, interpretations, documents, records or extracts thereof containing, referring, relating to, based upon or derived from such information, in whole or in part (collectively, “ Evaluation Material ”), in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement, and to take or abstain from taking the other actions hereinafter set forth. The term “ Designating Person ” shall mean any Person that has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which such person has the right to designate one or more members of the Board and a designee of such Person is serving as a member of the Board at such time.


1. The term “Evaluation Material” does not include information that (i) is or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a direct or indirect disclosure by you or your Representatives in violation of this letter agreement or any obligation of confidentiality, (ii) was within your or any of your Representatives’ possession on a non-confidential basis prior to its being furnished to you by any MHR Nominee, or by or on behalf of the Company or its agents, representatives, attorneys, advisors, directors, officers or employees (collectively, the “ Company Representatives ”) or (iii) is received from a source other than any MHR Nominee, the Company or any of the Company Representatives; provided , that in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, the source of such information was not believed to you, after reasonable inquiry of the disclosing person, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other person with respect to such information at the time the same was disclosed.

2. You and your Representatives will, and you will cause your Representatives to, (a) keep the Evaluation Material strictly confidential and (b) not disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Company; provided , however , that you may disclose any of such information: (A) to your Representatives (i) who need to know such information for the sole purpose of advising you and (ii) who are informed by you of the confidential nature of such information; provided , further , that you will be responsible for any violation of this letter agreement by your Representatives as if they were parties hereto, except that you will not be so responsible with respect to any such Representative who has executed a copy of this letter agreement as an Additional Signatory and delivered such signed copy to the Company or (B) to any Designating Person who has executed a copy of a confidentiality agreement with the Company and its attorneys, directors, officers and employees subject to such confidentiality agreement. It is understood and agreed that no MHR Nominee shall disclose to you or your Representatives any Legal Advice (as defined below) that may be included in the Evaluation Material with respect to which such disclosure would constitute waiver of the Company’s attorney client privilege or attorney work product privilege; provided , however , that an MHR Nominee may provide such disclosure if such MHR Nominee shall not have taken any action, or failed to take any action, that has the purpose or effect of waiving attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege with respect to any portion of such Legal Advice and if reputable outside legal counsel of national standing provides the Company with a written opinion that such disclosure will not waive the Company’s attorney client privilege or attorney work product privilege with respect to such Legal Advice. “Legal Advice” as used herein shall be solely and exclusively limited to the advice provided by legal counsel and shall not include factual information or the formulation or analysis of business strategy.

3. In the event that you or any of your Representatives are required by applicable subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement to disclose any of the Evaluation Material, you will promptly notify (except where such notice would be legally prohibited) the Company in writing by facsimile and certified mail so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and if the Company seeks such an order, you will provide such cooperation as the Company shall reasonably request), at its cost and expense. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent you or your Representatives, as the case may be, from honoring a subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement that requires discovery, disclosure or production of the Evaluation Material if (a) you produce or disclose only that portion of the Evaluation Material which your outside legal counsel of national standing advises you is legally required to be so produced or disclosed and you inform the recipient of such Evaluation Material of the existence


of this letter agreement and the confidential nature of such Evaluation Material; or (b) the Company consents in writing to having the Evaluation Material produced or disclosed pursuant to the subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement. In no event will you or any of your Representatives oppose action by the Company to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of the Evaluation Material or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Evaluation Material. It is understood that there shall be no “legal requirement” requiring you to disclose any Evaluation Material solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, you would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or engaging in derivative or other transactions with respect to, the Common Stock of the Company or otherwise proposing or making an offer to do any of the foregoing or making any offer, including any tender offer, or you would be unable to file any proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.

4. You acknowledge that (a) none of the Company or any of the Company Representatives makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material, and (b) none of the Company or any of the Company Representatives shall have any liability to you or to any of your Representatives relating to or resulting from the use of the Evaluation Material or any errors therein or omissions therefrom. You and your Representatives shall not directly or indirectly initiate contact or communication with any executive or employee of the Company other than the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer concerning Evaluation Material, or to seek any information in connection therewith from any such person other than the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, without the prior consent of the Company; provided, however, the restriction in this sentence shall not in any way apply to any MHR Nominee or other Board members.

5. All Evaluation Material shall remain the property of the Company. Neither you nor any of your Representatives shall by virtue of any disclosure of and/or your use of any Evaluation Material acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including all intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the Company. At any time after the date on which no MHR Nominee is a director of the Company, upon the request of the Company for any reason, you will promptly return to the Company all hard copies of the Evaluation Material and use commercially reasonable efforts to permanently erase or delete all electronic copies of the Evaluation Material in your or any of your Representatives’ possession or control (and, upon the request of the Company, shall certify to the Company that such Evaluation Material has been erased or deleted, as the case may be). Notwithstanding the return or erasure or deletion of Evaluation Material, you and your Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations contained herein.

6. You acknowledge, and will advise your Representatives, that the Evaluation Material may constitute material non-public information under applicable federal and state securities laws, and that you shall not, and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your Representatives, do not, trade or engage in any derivative or other transaction, on the basis of such information in violation of such laws.


7. You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that (i) you have all requisite company power and authority to execute and deliver this letter agreement and to perform your obligations hereunder, (ii) this letter agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by you, and is a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its terms, (iii) this Agreement will not result in a violation of any terms or conditions of any agreements to which you are a party or by which you may otherwise be bound or of any law, rule, license, regulation, judgment, order or decree governing or affecting you, and (iv) your entry into this Agreement does not require approval by any owners or holders of any equity interest in you (except as has already been obtained).

8. Any waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this letter agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this letter agreement. The failure of the Company to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this letter agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive the Company of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this letter agreement.

9. You acknowledge and agree that the value of the Evaluation Material to the Company is unique and substantial, but may be impractical or difficult to assess in monetary terms. You further acknowledge and agree that in the event of an actual or threatened violation of this letter agreement, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that, in addition to any and all other remedies which may be available to the Company at law or equity, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this letter agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this letter agreement exclusively in the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this letter agreement, you shall not allege, and you hereby waive the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

10. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief, and (e) irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight delivery service, signature requested, to the address of such party’s principal place of business or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.


11. This letter agreement and the Settlement Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and this letter agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto.

12. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for herein and all legal process in regard hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed validly given, made or served, if (a) given by telecopy and email, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number set forth below and sent to the email address set forth below and the appropriate confirmation is received or (b) if given by any other means, when actually received during normal business hours at the address specified in this subsection:

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is dated as of October [ ], 2012 (the “Effective Date”) and amends that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2012 (the “Rights Agreement”) between Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2012, the Board determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein;

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, prior to the Distribution Date, the Company may, and the Rights Agent, if directed by the Company, shall, from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of shares of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, the Rights Agent is hereby directed to join in this Amendment; and

WHEREAS, an officer of the Company has delivered to the Rights Agent a certificate as to the compliance of this Amendment with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment of the Rights Agreement .

 

  (a) Section 1(aa), the definition of “Person”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

“Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association, syndicate or other entity.

 

  (b) Section 1 is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

“Any Other Agreement” means any agreement or arrangement between the Company and any other Person pursuant to which such Person, or its Affiliates, has the right to designate one or more members of the Board.

“Designating Person” shall mean any Person that is a signatory to either the Icahn Agreement or Any Other Agreement, or the Affiliates or Associates of such Person; provided that a designee of such signatory is serving as a member of the Board at such time.

 

3


“Icahn Agreement” means the Settlement Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2012, among the Company and the signatories thereto.

“Permitted Activity” means (i) any Permitted Person serving as a director on the Board or the Company’s Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or voting or taking any action in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof), (ii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to: (A) voting or any action to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any vote or action taken, to be taken or proposed to be taken by any director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or as a member of any committee thereof) or (C) any proposal to be made to the Board (or applicable board of directors of any Company Subsidiary) by any director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) in his capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any non-public discussion or communication by any Permitted Person with respect to matters related to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no agreement, arrangement or understanding shall exist or be deemed to exist between, by or among any Permitted Persons by virtue of: (1) any Permitted Person engaging in any Permitted Activity with any other Permitted Person and subsequently voting or taking any other action similar to the vote or other action taken by another Permitted Person or (2) any decisions or conclusions of any Permitted Persons: (x) relating to the manner that a director should vote on any matter or (y) that a director should present any matter to the Board and/or any officer of the Company (it being understood that no such activity can bind a director from his or her right to freely vote and act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties as a director). For example, if two Permitted Persons meet (either alone or with any board members) and discuss a matter to be acted on, or that they would like to be acted on, by the Board, and those two Permitted Persons reach a conclusion as to how they would like directors to vote or act, and those Permitted Persons tell any board members that conclusion and that the Permitted Persons would like the board members to vote or act in accordance with that conclusion, such activity is “Permitted Activity.”

“Permitted Person” shall mean (i) any member of the Board or (ii) any Affiliate or Associate of a member of the Board, or of any Designating Person or (iii) any employee, officer, director or advisor of any Person referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

 

4


  (c) The proviso immediately following clause (iv) of Section 1(f), the definition of “Beneficial Owner”, is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

Subject to the blackout provisions contained in Section 2.06 and the limitations set forth in this Section 2.01, a Holder or group of Holders (such Holder or group of Holders, the “ Requesting Holder(s) ”) shall have the right to require the Company to effect a registration with respect to Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Requesting Holder(s) for an underwritten registration under the Securities Act (a “ Registration Request ”) by delivering a written request therefor (a “ Request Notice ”) to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten registration by the Requesting Holder(s). In no event shall the Requesting Holder(s) make a Registration Request under this Section 2.01(a) to offer in the aggregate less 1,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities. Any registration requested by a Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “ Demand Registration ”. The Company shall not be obliged under this Section 2.01(a) to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration during any twelve-month period or three (3) Demand Registrations in total. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company, at its sole option, may elect to utilize an existing Registration Statement for the purpose of registering any Registrable Securities covered by a Demand Registration.

(b) Underwriting . The offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten public offering only. The Company shall select an investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing Underwriter for the offering, which firm shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holder(s). The Company and the Requesting Holder(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing Underwriter, which underwriting agreement shall have substantially the same indemnification provisions as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Priority on Demand Registration . If, in connection with a Demand Registration, the managing Underwriter(s) give written advice to the Company of an Underwriters’ Maximum Number, then the Company shall so advise all Requesting Holder(s) and the Company will be obligated and required to include in such registration only the Underwriters’ Maximum Number, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holder(s), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Requesting Holder(s) who have delivered written requests for registration pursuant to this Section 2.01 (provided, that if the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holder(s)to be included in the Demand Registration is less than 75% of the number requested to be so included by such Requesting Holder(s), the Requesting Holder(s) may withdraw such Demand Request by giving

 

4


notice to the Company within three (3) days; if withdrawn, the Demand Request shall be deemed not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement), (ii) second, any shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company and (iii) third, any shares of Common Stock requested to be included pursuant to the exercise of other contractual registration rights granted by the Company (other than Holders), pro rata among such holders (if applicable) on the basis of the aggregate number of securities requested to be included by such holders.

(d) Effected Demand Registration . An offering pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall not be counted as a Demand Registration unless such offering is completed; provided, however, that if the offering contemplated by a Request Notice does not close within 90 days of the effectiveness of registration, despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Company, such offering shall be counted as Demand Registration, and the Company shall have no further obligations to effect such offering.

Section 2.02 Piggyback Registration .

(a) Notice of Piggyback Registration . If the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act either for the Company’s own account or for the account of any of its stockholders (other than for Holder(s) pursuant to Section 2.01 or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form, on Form S-8 or any successor form relating solely to securities issued pursuant to any benefit plan, an offering of securities solely to then-existing stockholders of the Company, a dividend reinvestment plan, an exchange offer or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Registration Statement) (each such registration not withdrawn or abandoned prior to the effective date thereof being herein called a “ Piggyback Registration ”), the Company will give written notice to all Holders of such proposal not later than the twentieth (20 th ) day prior to the anticipated filing date of such Piggyback Registration.

(b) Piggyback Rights . Subject to the provisions contained in Section 2.02(c), the Company will be obligated and required to use commercially reasonable efforts to include in each Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities as requested in a written notice from any Holder delivered to the Company no later than ten (10) days following delivery of the notice from the Company specified in Section 2.02(a).

(c) Priority on Piggyback Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten registration, and the managing Underwriter(s) shall give written advice to the Company of an Underwriters’ Maximum Number, then securities will be included in the following order of priority: (i) equity securities proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Company for its own account, or on the account of such holder or holders for whom or for which the registration was originally being effected pursuant to demand or other registration rights, as applicable, and (ii) if the Underwriters’ Maximum Number exceeds the number of securities proposed to be included pursuant to clause (i), then such excess, up to the Underwriters’ Maximum Number, shall be allocated pro rata to Participating Holders and any holders of other piggyback registration rights on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included therein by each such Person.

Each of the Participating Holders agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, each underwriter and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and any controlled Affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, together with the managers, members, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents of such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Participating Holders, for information related to the Participating Holders or a Covered Person, or their plan of distribution, furnished in writing by the Participating Holders or any Covered Person to the Company expressly for use in any Registration Statement, prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. No Holder shall be required to indemnify any Person pursuant to this Section 3.02 for any amount in excess of the net proceeds of the Registrable Securities sold for the account of such Holder.

Section 3.03 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Promptly after receipt by any Person (an “ Indemnified Party ”) of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “ Indemnifying Party ”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under Section 3.01 or 3.02 to the extent of any prejudice resulting therefrom. 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 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 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be for the account of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party. Whether or not the defense of any claim or action is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its written consent.

Section 3.04 Contribution . If the indemnification provided for pursuant to this Article III is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other 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 the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

 

12


statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be in excess of the net proceeds of the Registrable Securities sold for the account of such Holder or the amount for which such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

Company to Add a Third Director Designated and Mutually Agreed Upon by Icahn Partners and MHR Fund Management, Pursuant to Settlement Agreement

 

 

LISLE, Ill., October 8, 2012 – Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced that Vincent J. Intrieri and Mark H. Rachesky have been appointed to the company’s Board of Directors. The company also agreed to add a third director to the Navistar Board, who will be designated and mutually agreed upon by Icahn Partners and its affiliated entities (“Icahn”) and MHR Fund Management LLC and its affiliated entities (“MHR”).

Mr. Intrieri and Dr. Rachesky will replace Mr. Eugenio Clariond and Mr. Steven J. Klinger, who have agreed to retire from the Navistar Board of Directors. The mutually agreed upon third director will also replace an existing Navistar director. The three new directors will stand for election at the company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board will remain at ten members so long as either Icahn or MHR continues to have a designee on the Board.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Icahn and MHR as we believe it is in the best interest of the company and all of its shareholders,” said Michael N. Hammes, Navistar’s independent lead director.

Lewis B. Campbell, Navistar’s chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Vince and Mark will provide meaningful shareholder representation on the Board, and we welcome their insights and look forward to working with them constructively as we continue to execute on our plan to drive long-term profitability and deliver shareholder value.

The appointment of the new directors is pursuant to an agreement the company has entered into with each of Icahn and MHR. In the agreements, Icahn and MHR have agreed that they will not run a proxy contest at the 2013 annual meeting and will support the Board’s nominees, as well as certain other provisions. The full agreements will be filed in a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
