Section 6.09 of the Agreement provides that the Seller may from time to time direct the Master Trust Trustee to issue, on behalf of the Master Trust, one or more new Series of Investor Certificates representing fractional undivided interests in the Master Trust.  The Principal Terms of any new Series are to be set forth in a Supplement to the Agreement.

 

Pursuant to this Series Supplement, the Seller and the Master Trust Trustee shall create a new Series of Investor Certificates and specify the Principal Terms thereof.

THE SERIES 2000-VFC CERTIFICATES

 

SECTION                                            1.01  Designation.

 

(a)                                  There is hereby created a new Series pursuant to the Agreement and this Series Supplement to be known as the “Floating Rate Dealer Note Asset Backed Certificates Series 2000-VFC.”  The interest of the Investor Certificateholders in Series 2000-VFC shall be represented by the Series 2000-VFC Certificates.  The Series 2000-VFC Certificates are a series of variable funding certificates, meaning that their Funded Amount may be increased from time to time during the Revolving Period as Incremental Fundings are made under the Certificate Purchase Agreement and may be decreased from time to time, as Investor Principal Collections or certain other funds are distributed to the Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders for that purpose.  The Funded Amount of the Series 2000-VFC may not at any time exceed the Maximum Funded Amount.

 

(b)                                 If any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any term or provision contained in the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Series Supplement shall govern with respect to Series 2000-VFC.

 



 

SECTION                                          1.02  Incremental Fundings.  Incremental Fundings may occur on any Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Certificate Purchase Agreement.  Upon any Incremental Funding, the Funded Amount, the Series Allocation Percentage, the Floating Allocation Percentage and other terms will be reset to the extent provided herein and in the Certificate Purchase Agreement.

 

SECTION                                          1.03  Optional Early Pay Out.

 

(a)                                  On any Funding Change Date falling in the Revolving Period, the Seller may cause the principal portion of the Certificates to be prepaid in full or in part, (x) if the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment is greater than $150,000,000, on not less than five Business days prior written notice by the Servicer or (y) otherwise, on not less than three Business Days prior written notice by the Servicer to the Master Trust Trustee and the Administrative Agent, with Shared Principal Collections as provided in Section 4.03(e) of the Agreement; provided, however that such prepayment shall not be permitted unless all due (or if the Certificates are paid in full, all accrued) and unpaid Monthly Interest, Additional Amounts and Non-Use Fees have been paid in full.

 

(b)                                 In addition, on any Business Day, the Seller may cause the principal portion of the Certificates to be prepaid in full or in part, (x) if the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment is greater than $150,000,000, on not less than five Business Days prior written notice by the Servicer or (y) otherwise, on not less than three Business Days prior written notice by the Servicer to the Master Trust Trustee and the Administrative Agent, with the proceeds from issuance of a new Series issued substantially contemporaneously with such prepayment; provided, however that such prepayment shall not be permitted unless all due (or, if the Certificates are paid in full, all accrued) and unpaid Monthly Interest, Additional Amounts and Non-Use Fees have been paid in full.

 

(c)                                  Servicer shall not give notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 1.03(a) unless the Master Trust has funds sufficient to make such prepayment on the day notice is given and shall not give notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 1.03(b) unless the Seller has obtained binding commitments which may be subject to customary conditions from one or more persons to purchase the new series in such amounts as will yield the net proceeds necessary to make the prepayment.

(a)                                  That portion of Shared Principal Collections for any Business Day equal to the amount of Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal Collections for such Business Day will be allocated to Series 2000-VFC and will be applied in the same manner as Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.08(b) and otherwise will be deposited in the Excess Funding Account to the extent necessary to maintain the Master Trust Seller’s Interest at an amount equal to (or, in the discretion of the Seller, greater than) the Minimum Master Trust Seller’s Interest or allocated to the Seller.

 

(b)                                 “Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal Collections,” with respect to any Business Day, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 2000-VFC Principal Shortfall for such Business Day; provided, however, that, if the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Business Day is less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Business Day, then Series 2000-VFC Shared Principal Collections for such Business Day shall equal the product of (x) Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Business Day and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2000-VFC Principal Shortfall for such Business Day and denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Business Day; provided further that if Shared Principal Collections are not required to be applied to any other Series, the Seller may direct that all or any portion of such Shared Principal Collections be retained and allocated to the Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders and deposited in the Series Principal Account on the related Transfer Date to make any prepayment permitted by Section 1.03.

 

SECTION 4.10  Distributions to Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders.  On each Transfer Date, after all allocations to the Distribution Account and the Series Principal Account for the related Transfer Date have been made, the Master Trust Trustee, acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall transfer to the Distribution Account the funds on deposit in the Series Principal Account and shall make, without duplication, the following distributions from the Distribution Account:

 

(a)                                  Interest Distributions.  On each Distribution Date (including the Expected Payment Date), Monthly Interest, Non-Use Fees and Additional Amounts will be distributed as such to the Series 2000-VFC Certificateholders to the extent of the amount on deposit in the Distribution Account for such purpose.

 

(b)                                 Amortization Period and Early Amortization Period.  On each Distribution Date related to a Due Period occurring during an Amortization Period or an Early Amortization Period, in addition to the amount described in (a) above, amounts on deposit in the Series

 

25



 

Principal Account will be distributed as principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date) on the Series 2000-VFC Certificates.

 

(c)                                 Revolving Period.  On each Distribution Date relating to a Due Period

during the Revolving Period, in addition to the amount described in (a) above, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Account will be distributed as principal (up to a maximum of the Invested Amount on such Distribution Date) on the Series 2000-VFC Certificates.

 

SECTION 4.11   [Reserved]

 

SECTION 4.12   Partial Month Due Period.  The allocation and distribution provisions in this Series Supplement are based upon the assumptions that each Due Period will be a calendar month and that each Due Period will have a unique related Transfer Date and Distribution Date.  However, under certain circumstances (such as the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, the Revolving Period could end on a date other than the last day of a calendar month (the period from the first day of such month (the “Subject Month”) to and including the date of such occurrence being referred to herein as the “Revolving Due Period”), and an Early Amortization Period could commence on a date other than the first day of a calendar month (the period from such other date until the last day of the Subject Month being the “Amortizing Due Period”).  If such a circumstance occurs, then the Servicer, the Seller and the Master Trust Trustee shall observe the following rules:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 4.13  Additional Rights upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9.02(a) of the Agreement, if any insolvency event

 

26



 

occurs with respect to the Seller, Navistar International Corporation, Navistar International Transportation Corp. or Navistar Financial Corporation on the day of such insolvency event, the Seller will (subject to the actions of the Certificateholders) immediately cease to transfer Dealer Notes to the Master Trust, and promptly give notice to the Master Trust Trustee of such insolvency event.  Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if an insolvency event occurs with respect to the Seller prior to the date on which the Series 2000-VFC Certificates issued by the Master Trust have been paid in full, then within 15 days the Master Trust Trustee will publish a notice of such insolvency event stating that the Master Trust Trustee intends to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Dealer Notes in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, unless within a specified period of time Certificate holders representing more than 50% of the aggregate series invested amount of the certificates of each such Series and each person holding a Supplemental Certificate, instruct the Master Trust Trustee not to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Dealer Notes and to continue transferring Dealer Notes as before such insolvency event.
