(a)           Interest Distributions.  On each Distribution Date (including the Expected Payment Date), Monthly Interest will be distributed to the Series 1997-1 Certificateholders as accrued interest on the 1997-1 Certificates.  To the extent any interest is due but not distributed on any such Distribution Date, such amount will be distributed on the following Distribution Date, along with, to the extent permitted by law, interest at the Certificate Rate on such amount.

(b)           Expected Payment Date.  On the Expected Payment Date, in addition to the amount described in (a) above, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Account will be distributed as principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date) on the Series 1997-1 Certificates.

(c)           Early Amortization Period.  On each Distribution Date related to a Due Period occurring during an Early Amortization Period, in addition to the amount described in (a) above, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Account will be distributed as principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date) on the Series 1997-1 Certificates.

SECTION IV.11  Accumulation Period Length; Accumulation Period Commencement Date.  On or prior to the first Due Period which is nine months prior to the Due Period related to the Distribution Date which is the Expected Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine in its sole discretion the Accumulation Period Length and the Accumulation Period Commencement Date and, promptly following such determination, the Servicer shall notify the Master Trust Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing of such determination.

E-353
SECTION IV.12   Partial Month Due Period.  The allocation and distribution provisions in this Series Supplement are based upon the assumptions that each Due Period will be a calendar month and that each Due Period will have a unique related Transfer Date and Distribution Date.  However, under certain circumstances (such as the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, the Revolving Period could end on a date other than the last day of a calendar month (the period from the first day of such month (the "Subject Month") to and including the date of such occurrence being referred to herein as the "Revolving Due Period"), and an Early Amortization Period could commence on a date other than the first day of a calendar month (the period from such other date until the last day of the Subject Month being the "Amortizing Due Period").  If such a circumstance occurs, then the Servicer, the Seller and the Master Trust Trustee shall observe the following rules:

(i)           the Transfer Date for both the Revolving Due Period and the Amortizing Due Period shall be the date on which the Transfer Date would have occurred if the Subject Month had been an ordinary Due Period;

(ii)           the allocations and distributions of Finance Charge Collections (and all items derived from Finance Charge Collections, such as Available Certificateholder Interest Collections and Available Seller's Finance Charge Collections) and Dealer Note Losses occurring during the Subject Month shall be made as if the Subject Month were one Due Period, without any distinction between the Revolving Due Period and the Amortizing Due Period; and

(iii)           two separate sets of allocations and distributions of Principal Collections (and all items derived from Principal Collections, such as Investor Principal Collections and Seller's Principal Collections) shall be made on such Transfer Date, according to whether such Principal Collections were received during the Revolving Due Period (in which case allocations and distributions shall be made as provided in Sections 4.08(a) and (c)) or the Amortizing Due Period (in which case allocations and distributions shall be made as provided in Sections 4.08(b) and (d)).

E-354
SECTION IV.13  Additional Rights upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02(a) of the Agreement, if any insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller, Navistar International Corporation, Navistar International Transportation Corporation or Navistar Financial Corporation on the day of such insolvency event, the Seller will (subject to the actions of the Certificateholders) immediately cease to transfer Dealer Notes to the 1990 Trust or the Master Trust, as applicable, and promptly give notice to the Master Trust Trustee of such insolvency event.  Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if an insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller after the 1990 Trust Termination Date but prior to the date on which the Series 1995-1 investor certificates issued by the Master Trust have been paid in full, then within 15 days the Master Trust Trustee will publish a notice of such insolvency event stating that the Master Trust Trustee intends to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Dealer Notes in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, unless within a specified period of time Certificate holders representing more than 50% of the aggregate series invested amount of the certificates of each such Series and each person holding a Supplemental Certificate, instruct the Master Trust Trustee not to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Dealer Notes and to continue transferring Dealer Notes as before such insolvency event.

SECTION IV.14  Voting of the Master Trust’s Interests in the 1990 Trust.  The Master Trust Trustee will have the right, without the consent of the Certificateholders, to vote, or to consent or withhold consent with respect to, the Class A-5 Investor Certificate and any other Investor Certificate on any matter for which votes or consents are solicited under the 1990 Trust Agreement, provided that such action will not, as evidenced by an officer’s certificate of the Servicer, have a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders of any Series.  The Master Trust Trustee will also have the right, with the consent of the Applicable Voting Percentage of the Certificateholders, to vote, or to consent or withhold consent, with respect to the Class A-5 Investor Certificate and any other Investor Certificate on any matter for which votes or consents are solicited under the 1990 Trust Agreement.

“Applicable Voting Percentage” means, with respect to any matter for which votes or consents are solicited under the 1990 Trust Agreement, the percentage of votes or consents of the Investor Certificates needed to pass the proposed matter.
