A.     Compensation
Members of the Settlement Class may submit a claim for only one of the following
options of compensation for each Class Vehicle that members of the Settlement
Class have owned or leased, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
III.B.2 below for Class Vehicles that one Class Member leased to another:
1.     Cash Option
This option provides for a payment based on months of ownership or lease of up
to two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) per Class Vehicle. Each
demonstrated month of ownership or lease through March 2019 is eligible (subject
to the limitations set forth in Section
III.B) for the following amounts:
Class Vehicle Model Year
Monetary Amount
2011
$26.59/month
2012
$29.07/month
2013
$33.33/month
2014
$39.06/month

2. Rebate Option
For each Class Vehicle owned or leased by a member of the Settlement Class, such
member of the Settlement Class may select a rebate based on months of ownership
or lease worth up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) towards the purchase of a
new

11

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

Navistar Class 8 heavy duty truck. The rebates are deducted from the best
negotiated retail purchase price (not including sales taxes or delivery fees)
and in addition to any other applicable promotion, rebate, or discount then in
effect at the time of purchase and for which both the purchase and the purchaser
would otherwise qualify. The rebates will expire eighteen (18) months after the
date that the rebate certificates are sent to the members of the Settlement
Class. The rebates are not transferable and not stackable. Each individual
member of the Settlement Class may receive up to a maximum of ten (10) total
rebates, regardless of the number of vehicles purchased or leased.
Each demonstrated month of ownership/lease through March 2019 is eligible
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section III.B) for the following
amounts:
Class Vehicle Model Year
Amount
2011
$106.36/month
2012
$116.28/month
2013
$133.32/month
2014
$156.24/month

3. Individual Prove-Up Option
For each Class Vehicle owned or leased by a member of the Settlement Class, such
member of the Settlement Class may seek to prove up to fifteen thousand dollars
($15,000) of Covered Costs per Class Vehicle. Whether and what amount of Covered
Costs should be awarded pursuant to this provision shall be determined by the
Settlement Administrator consistent with this Settlement Agreement, subject to
an appeal adjudicated by the Settlement Administrator. Defendants will not be
entitled to assert any legal defenses to these Covered Costs, although
Defendants may demonstrate that a claimant does not meet the requirements of
this Settlement Agreement. Members of the Settlement Class opting for relief
under this Section may, at any time prior to a final determination of their
award, opt instead to receive the payment that he or she would be entitled to
under III.A.1.
Notwithstanding the definition of Covered Costs, the recoverable cost of parts
and labor incurred as a result of a Covered Event that occurred when the Class
Vehicle had between 500,001 miles and 1,000,000 miles are capped at seven
thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) for all Covered Events. Parts and labor
incurred as a result of a Covered Event that occurred when the Class Vehicle had
1,000,001 miles or more are not compensated. For the avoidance of doubt, total
compensation for all Covered Costs for any member of the Settlement Class for a
given Class Vehicle shall not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000).
All costs not expressly defined above as a Covered Cost are excluded, including
opportunity costs (e.g., lost opportunity due to unreliable Class Vehicle) and
the cost of replacing employees.
Members of the Settlement Class opting for relief under this Section must sign a
certification stating under penalty of perjury: “I certify that the oil and
filters were regularly changed on this vehicle within the timeframes recommended
by Navistar.”
B.     Compensation In Connection With Leased Class Vehicles
1.     Leases From Navistar

12

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

Any member of the Settlement Class who leased a Class Vehicle from Defendants,
Defendants’ corporate affiliates, or an Authorized Navistar Dealer will recover
on the same terms as owners of Class Vehicles.
2.     Class Members Who Leased From Any Party Other Than Navistar
If a Class Member who owned a Class Vehicle leased that Class Vehicle for 30
days or less to another individual or entity, the owner, but not the lessee, may
elect the Cash Option or the Rebate Option, or the Individual Prove-Up Option
for Covered Costs paid by the owner, not the lessee, for the time period of the
lease. The lessee of said lease of thirty (30) days or less is not a Class
Member. If a Class Vehicle was leased for more than thirty (30) days, the Class
Member who was the lessor and the Class Member who was the lessee of said Class
Vehicle are each eligible, with sufficient Proof of Ownership or Lease, for half
of the Cash Option or half the Rebate Option for the time period of the lease.
Each lessor and lessee may instead independently elect the Individual Prove-Up
Option. Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel agree to work in good
faith to determine appropriate cash/rebate apportionment through the claims
administration process in the unlikely event that there is some lessor-lessee
arrangement that is not already expressly anticipated by this Settlement
Agreement.
C.     Allocation Of Funds In The Event Of Oversubscription Or Undersubscription
If either the Cash Fund or Rebate Fund is oversubscribed-i.e., more claims for
that type of compensation are approved than dollars or value available in that
fund-and the other fund is undersubscribed- i.e., fewer claims for that type of
compensation are approved than dollars or value available in that fund-then the
dollars or value remaining in the undersubscribed fund shall “waterfall” into
the oversubscribed fund until all approved claims in the oversubscribed fund are
paid or all dollars or value in the undersubscribed fund is spent. In no event,
however, shall more than thirty-five million dollars ($35 million) of the Rebate
Fund “waterfall” into the Cash Fund. Any remaining dollars within the Cash Fund
after any necessary “waterfall” shall be reallocated pro rata within the
original Cash Fund to previously-approved, valid claims within that Cash Fund.
Any remaining rebate commitments within the Rebate Fund after any necessary
“waterfall” (“Additional Rebates”) will be issued to certain members of the
Settlement Class (“Rebate Claimants”) who initially elected and qualified for a
rebate under Section III.A.2 above
(“Initial Rebate”). Additional Rebates will be subject to the same terms and
conditions as Initial Rebates. They will not be transferable or stackable,
including with Initial Rebates. The assumed value of a Rebate Claimant’s
Additional Rebate(s) will be the average value of the Initial Rebate(s)
(“Initial Rebate Value”) received by the particular Rebate Claimant. Additional
Rebates will be issued sequentially to eligible Rebate Claimants in ascending
order of Initial Rebate Value, until the Rebate Fund is exhausted. No member of
the Settlement Class may be issued more than ten (10) rebates of any kind.
Should this limitation prevent the exhaustion of the Rebate Fund, then the
Parties agree that the Honorable Wayne Andersen (retired) shall have sole and
final authority to order a fair distribution of the remainder of the Rebate Fund
in the form of Additional Rebates or pro rata increases in Initial Rebates, so
long as the net result is that Defendants pay the full one-hundred thirty-five
million dollars ($135 million) in cash payments and rebates to the Class,
including Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, Service Awards, and Settlement Fees and
Expenses.

13

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

If, after any applicable “waterfall”, one or both funds are oversubscribed, then
claims within any oversubscribed fund will be reduced pro rata. In the Rebate
Fund, that means that each rebate will be reduced by an equal amount until the
fund is no longer oversubscribed. In the Cash Fund, that means that each cash
award will be reduced by an equal percentage until the fund is no longer
oversubscribed.
IV.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE SETTLEMENT
A.
Establishment And Administration Of The Cash Fund As A Qualified Settlement Fund

Within thirty (30) days after the entry of the Final Order and Judgment
(provided that Navistar will fund the Escrow Account by December 30, 2019 if
Final Approval is granted on or before December 20, 2019), Defendants shall pay
the total sum of the Cash Fund (less any costs and expenses related to
Settlement Fees and Expenses already paid by Defendants) into the Escrow Account
to be held in escrow by the Settlement Administrator with Signature Bank (the
“Bank”) to be chosen by Co-Lead Class Counsel and subject to approval by
Defendants, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Cash Fund
shall be established as a Qualified Settlement Fund (“QSF”) within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-1, pursuant to the subject matter
jurisdiction of the Court under Treasury Regulation Section 1.468Bl(c)(1) and an
order to be entered by the Court establishing a QSF within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-1. After the Cash Fund has been paid into the
Escrow Account, the Parties and the Settlement Administrator agree to treat the
Cash Fund as a QSF within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1. All provisions
of this Settlement shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the
Cash Fund being a QSF within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1.
1.     The Bank
The Cash Fund shall be held at the Bank, which financial institution shall be
responsible for any and all investment-related decisions, following the
Settlement Administrator’s investment policy for fiduciaries, which is based on
safety of principal, no bank balance sheet exposure, and zero sweep accounts for
distributions to Plaintiffs once authorized. The Bank shall be responsible for
the issuance of any checks and/or wire transfers from the Cash Fund once
authorized. Fees and costs for all service related to the Fund shall not exceed
$10,000 except by agreement of the Parties.
2.     Cash Fund, Distributions And Expenses
No portion of the Cash Fund shall be made available to the Settlement Class
except as specifically set forth in this Settlement Agreement. Until such time
as the Cash Fund is distributed, the Settlement Class shall not possess any
rights to demand or receive any portion of the monies or the escrowed monies or
to mortgage, pledge, or encumber the same in any manner. To the extent possible,
the terms of the Settlement Agreement shall be construed so as to prevent
Plaintiffs from being in constructive receipt, as determined under federal
income tax principles, of the Cash Fund. All expenses incurred in administering
the Cash Fund, including without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Bank
and Settlement Administrator, shall be paid from the Cash Fund.

14

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

If this Settlement Agreement does not for any reason become final or effective
or is otherwise rescinded, withdrawn, or abrogated before the Effective Date of
the Settlement, then all amounts that have been paid by Defendants into the
Escrow Account shall be returned to Defendants.
3.     Administrator Of The Cash Fund
For the purposes of Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and Treas. Reg. § 1.468B as promulgated thereunder, the “administrator”
shall be the Settlement Administrator or its successors. The Settlement
Administrator shall have the authority to conduct any and all activities
necessary to administer the Cash Fund. The Settlement Administrator shall submit
personally to the jurisdiction of the Court. The Settlement Administrator shall
be indemnified and held harmless by Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class from any
claims made by any alleged lien holder or other person or entity that attempts
to assert a right of payment, reimbursement, or garnishment against the Cash
Fund.
4.     QSF-Related Duties Of The Settlement Administrator
The Settlement Administrator shall timely and properly file, or cause to be
filed, all federal, state, or local tax returns and information returns
(together, “Tax Returns”) necessary or advisable with respect to the earnings on
the funds deposited in the Cash Fund (including without limitation the returns
described in Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-2(k)). Such Tax Returns shall be consistent
with this subparagraph and in all events shall reflect that all taxes (including
any estimated taxes, earnings, or penalties) on the income earned on the funds
deposited in the Cash Fund shall be paid out of such funds as provided herein.
In all events, Defendants and Defendants’ Counsel shall have no liability or
responsibility whatsoever for the taxes or the filing of any Tax Return or other
document with the Internal Revenue Service or any other state or local taxing
authority. Defendants and Defendants’ Counsel shall have no liability or
responsibility for the taxes of the Cash Fund with respect to the Cash Fund
Amount nor the filing of any Tax Returns or other documents with the Internal
Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, nor any expenses associated
therewith (beyond those expenses being paid from the Cash Fund as provided
herein). In the event any taxes are owed by any of the Defendants or Defendants’
Counsel on any earnings on the funds on deposit in the Cash Fund, such amounts
shall also be paid out of the Cash Fund.
Taxes with respect to the Cash Fund shall be treated as, and considered to be, a
cost of administration of the Settlement and shall be timely paid, or caused to
be paid, by the Settlement Administrator out of the Cash Fund without prior
order from the Court or approval by Defendants. The Settlement Administrator
shall be obligated (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) to withhold
from distribution to the Settlement Class any funds necessary to pay such
amounts (as well as any amounts that may be required to be withheld under Treas.
Reg. § 1.468B-2(l)(2)). The Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and
their tax attorneys and accountants to the extent reasonably necessary, to carry
out these provisions.
The Settlement Administrator shall obtain a Federal Taxpayer Identification
Number for the Cash Fund upon the execution of an order by the Court
establishing the Cash Fund. The Settlement Administrator is authorized, upon
final distribution of all

15

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

monies paid into the Cash Fund, to take appropriate steps to wind down the Cash
Fund and thereafter the Settlement Administrator is discharged from any further
responsibility with respect to the Cash Fund.
B.     Duties Of The Settlement Administrator
Promptly after Preliminary Approval, the Parties will direct the Settlement
Administrator to issue Class Notice, receive and appropriately respond to all
claims submitted by a member of the Settlement Class, and to otherwise
administer the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Administrator will (1)
assign personnel to manage the settlement implementation process, including
Class Notice, (2) establish a toll-free telephone number that members of the
Class may call to obtain information, (3) establish a mailing address to which
members of the Settlement Class can send claims for reimbursement and (4) create
a Settlement Website containing information about the Settlement, including
claim forms for download or electronic submission. All costs and expenses
related to the administration of this Settlement, whenever paid by
Defendants, will be deducted from the Cash Fund.
C.     Notice To Members Of The Settlement Class
The cost of Class Notice and other Settlement Fees and Expenses, as agreed to by
the Settling Parties, will be paid from the Cash Fund. Prior to the funding of
the Cash Fund, Defendants will make payments necessary to cover the costs of
Class Notice and other Settlement Fees and Expenses. Such pre-payments will be
deducted from the amount ultimately contributed to the Cash Fund following the
Effective Date.
1.     Components And Timing Of Class Notice
Class Notice will be accomplished through a combination of the Short Form
Notice, Email Notice, notice through the Settlement Website, and Long Form
Notice, each of which is described below, as specified in the anticipated
Preliminary Approval Order and this Settlement Agreement and in order to comply
with all applicable laws, including but not limited to, Fed. R. Civ. P. 23, the
Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution, and any other applicable
statute, law, or rule.
As soon as practicable after the Preliminary Approval Order, the Settlement
Administrator will obtain the name, last known address, and email address of
each potential member of the Settlement Class, to the extent such information is
reasonably available in Navistar’s records and/or public records. If contact
information is not available in the Defendants’ records, the Settlement
Administrator will seek contact and vehicle information from public records,
including records obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles, for all fifty
(50) States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all other United States
territories and/or possessions. Vehicle information includes, but is not limited
to, the inferred date of purchase, lease information, new/used purchase
information, and year, make, and model of the vehicle. Thereafter, the
Settlement Administrator shall substantially complete initial dissemination of
notice in the manner described below with the intention of substantially
completing initial notice within eight (8) weeks after the entry of the
Preliminary Approval Order.

16

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

2.     Short Form Notice
The Settlement Administrator shall send the Short Form Notices, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, by First Class U.S. Mail, proper
postage prepaid, to members of the Settlement Class. In addition, the Settlement
Administrator shall: (a) re-mail any notices returned by the United States
Postal Service with a forwarding address as soon as practicable; and (b) by
itself or using one or more address research firms, as soon as practicable
following receipt of any returned notices that do not include a forwarding
address, research such returned mail for more accurate addresses and promptly
mail copies of the applicable notice to any more accurate addresses so found.
3.     Email Notice
The Settlement Administrator shall send the Email Notices, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A-4, by email to members of the Settlement Class
for whom an email address was located.
4.     Settlement Website And Long Form Notice
The Settlement Administrator shall establish a Settlement Website that will
inform members of the Settlement Class of the terms of the Settlement Agreement,
their rights, dates and deadlines, and related information. The Settlement
Website shall include, in .pdf format, materials agreed upon by the Parties
and/or required by the Court, including the Long Form Notice. The Settlement
Website shall also allow Class Members, upon entry of their information, to
receive preliminary calculations of the “up to” compensation amount they could
receive under the Cash Option or the Rebate Option if Class Members submit valid
claims. Class Members would then be able to continue to submit a claim with that
information online or in hard copy. The Settlement Website will “pre-populate”
claims information to the extent the Settlement Administrator possesses it.
The Settlement Administrator will send, via First Class U.S. Mail, the Long Form
Notice to those persons who request it.
5.     Class Action Fairness Act Notice
In compliance with the attorney general notification provision of the Class
Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1715, within ten (10) days after the motion for
Preliminary Approval is filed, the Settlement Administrator shall provide notice
of this proposed Settlement, as well as all other documents required by the
Class Action Fairness Act, to the Attorney General of the United States, and to
the attorneys general of each state or territory in which a Class Member may
reside. The Settlement Administrator will provide copies of such notifications
to Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel at the time of their submission
to the attorneys general.
D.     Submission Of Claims
To obtain compensation under Section III, a member of the Settlement Class must
submit a timely claim to the Settlement Administrator. Co-Lead Class Counsel and
Defendants’ Counsel will participate in the design of the claims administration
process and will receive periodic information about the Settlement
Administrator’s handling of claims, including but not limited to information
identifying the claims and claimants, sufficient to let them comment upon and/or
raise objections to how it is being

17

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

performed. Co-Lead Class Counsel will work continuously with Defendants’ Counsel
throughout the claims administration process to ensure that the claims process
is fair and that the number of valid claims is maximized.
1.     Deadline To Submit Claims
The Settlement Administrator will not review or pay any claims for monetary
compensation submitted by a member of the Settlement Class more than
one-hundred-eighty (180) calendar days after the Fairness Hearing. The Settling
Parties reserve the right to jointly move the Court to permit late-filed claims.
2.
Content Of And Support For Claims

a.     Identification Of Benefit Sought
All claims for monetary compensation must indicate whether the claimant is
submitting a claim for one of the options in Section III.A, and which option is
being selected. These options will be readily apparent on the Settlement
Website.
b.     Proof Of Membership In The Class
All claims for compensation must include Proof of Membership in the Class.
Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants will work in good faith with the Settlement
Administrator when designing the claims-submission feature of the Settlement
Website to simplify the ability of persons known to Navistar to be Original
Owners or Lessees of Class Vehicles to confirm their status as Class Members
without needing to independently submit all of the information otherwise
required to show Proof of Membership in the Class.
3.     Rejected Claims/Opportunity To Cure Deficiencies
The Settlement Administrator may reject any claim that does not include the
required information, documentation, or certification specified in the previous
subsection. The Settlement Administrator may investigate any claim, including by
requesting from the member of the Settlement Class additional documentation to
determine whether the claim is valid. If the Settlement Administrator rejects a
claim, it will advise the member of the Settlement Class who submitted the claim
of the reason(s) for the rejection (e.g., missing information, documentation, or
certification, ineligibility to submit a claim, claim does not involve a Class
Vehicle). If a claim is rejected due to missing information or documentation,
the Settlement Administrator will give the member of the Settlement Class thirty
(30) days to resubmit that claim along with additional information, so long as
the claim was originally submitted by the deadline to submit the claim. The
Settlement Administrator will copy Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’
Counsel on all rejected claims.
4.     Disputed Claims
If a member of the Settlement Class disputes either the Settlement
Administrator’s rejection of a claim or the amount to be reimbursed pursuant to
a claim, the member of the Settlement Class may appeal the Settlement
Administrator’s decision by submitting the claim, the Settlement Administrator’s
decision on the claim, and an explanation of the Settlement Administrator’s
alleged error to the Settlement Administrator within thirty (30) days of the
postmark date on the envelope, or the date of the email,

18

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

in which the Settlement Administrator sent its decision to the member of the
Settlement Class. The Settlement Administrator will share all appeals received
with Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel, and shall make a final,
binding determination of the appeal following its receipt of the Settlement
Parties’ responses to the appeal.
V.     ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND SERVICE AWARDS
A.     Attorneys’ Fees And Costs
All Attorneys’ Fees and Costs shall be paid out of the Cash Fund in an amount to
be awarded by the Court. Co-Lead Class Counsel will apply to the Court on behalf
of themselves and other counsel for members of the Class for an award of
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Co-Lead Class Counsel’s request for Attorneys’ Fees
and Costs will not exceed forty million dollars ($40 million) in aggregate fees
and costs. Co-Lead Class Counsel shall be entitled to the Attorneys’ Fees and
Costs awarded by the Court (subject to the limitations of this Section)
immediately upon funding of the Escrow Account, and all such amounts will be
paid from the Cash Fund. Co-Lead Class Counsel, along with Liaison Counsel
Laurel Bellows, shall have the authority to determine and make an allocation of
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs to any counsel representing any member of the Class
who claims an entitlement to share in any fees or costs approved by the Court.
Any disputes regarding such allocation shall be resolved by the Court and shall
not be considered a basis for withdrawal from the settlement as described below
in Section VI.E.
Any payment of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs made pursuant to this Section shall be
subject to the joint and several obligation of Fee Recipients to make refunds or
repayments to the Cash Fund of any paid amounts, plus accrued earnings at the
same net rate as is earned by the Cash Fund, if the Settlement is terminated
pursuant to the terms of this Settlement Agreement or fails to become effective
for any reason, or if, as a result of any appeal or further proceedings on
remand or successful collateral attack, the award of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
is reduced or reversed by court order. Fee Recipients shall make the appropriate
refund or repayment in full no later than thirty (30) calendar days after
receiving notice of the termination of the Settlement, notice from a court of
appropriate jurisdiction of the disapproval of the Settlement by court order or
notice of any reduction or reversal of the award of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs by
court order. Each Fee Recipient, on behalf of itself and each partner and/or
shareholder of such firm, agrees that (i) it and each of its partners and/or
shareholders are subject to the jurisdiction of the Court for the purpose of
enforcing this provision, (ii) it and its partners and/or shareholders shall be
jointly and severally liable for the repayment of all Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
awarded by the Court and paid by the Cash Fund, as well as accrued interest and
(iii) the Court may, upon application of Defendants or Defendants’ counsel,
summarily issue orders, including, without limitation, judgments and attachment
orders, and may make appropriate findings of or sanctions for contempt against
any law firm or any of its partners and/or shareholders should such law firm
fail to timely repay Attorneys’ Fees and Costs pursuant to this paragraph. Fee
Recipients further agree that in the event the full amount paid by the Cash Fund
to Fee Recipients plus accrued interest is not repaid within the time frame
required by this paragraph, Fee Recipients shall be responsible for all fees and
costs incurred by Defendants in seeking and obtaining from Fee Recipients such
sums that remain unpaid.

19

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

B.     Service Awards For Named Plaintiffs
As part of their motion seeking final approval of the Settlement to be
considered at the Fairness Hearing, and in recognition for the Named Plaintiffs’
work on behalf of the class, Co-Lead Class Counsel will submit to the Court an
application for a twenty-five thousand dollar ($25,000) Service Award for each
of the Named Plaintiffs. Any set of Named Plaintiffs with overlapping ownership
shall be entitled to only one such Service Award. Any Service Awards ordered by
the Court will be paid out of the Cash Fund within forty-five (45) days of the
Effective Date, provided that Co-Lead Class Counsel have provided to the
Settlement Administrator completed W-9 forms for the Named Plaintiffs at least
twenty-one (21) days before payment. Any Service Awards are in addition to other
payments under the Settlement.
VI.     SETTLEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS
A.     Preliminary Approval of Settlement
Promptly after execution of the Settlement Agreement, Co-Lead Class Counsel will
present the Settlement Agreement to the Court, along with a motion requesting
that the Court issue a Preliminary Approval Order substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit A-1, which will include, among other things:

after providing the first Opt Out List;
•
A direction that Co-Lead Class Counsel shall file a motion for Attorneys’ Fees

Approval Order, which shall be approximately twenty-four (24) days before the
Fairness Hearing, together with copies of all papers in support of his or her
position as provided in Section VI.B.1 of the Settlement Agreement.

B.     Response To Notice
1.     Objections To Settlement
Any member of the Settlement Class who intends to object to this Settlement
Agreement or the Settlement contained therein must, by the date specified in the
anticipated Preliminary
Approval Order and recited in the Class Notice, file any such objection with the
Court, and provide copies of the objection to: (1) Adam J. Levitt of DiCello
Levitt Gutzler (Co-Lead Class
Counsel), Ten North Dearborn Street, Eleventh Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60602;
and (2) Mark S.
Mester and Kathleen P. Lally of Latham & Watkins, LLP (Defendants’ Counsel), 330
North Wabash Avenue, Suite 2800, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Any objection to the Settlement Agreement must be individually and personally
signed by the member of the Settlement Class submitting it. If the member of the
Settlement Class is an entity and not an individual, the objection must be
signed by an officer or director of the entity and include an affidavit that
attests to that person’s ability to act on behalf of that entity. If the member
of the Settlement Class is represented by counsel, the objection must also be
signed by such counsel. Any objection must include:
•
The objecting member of the Settlement Class’s full name, address, and telephone
number;

•
The model, model year, and VIN of the objecting member of the Settlement Class’s
Class Vehicle(s), along with Proof of Membership in the Class;

•
A written statement of all grounds for the objection, accompanied by any legal
support for the objection;

•
Copies of any papers, briefs, or other documents upon which the objection is

The name, address, email address, and telephone number of every attorney
representing or assisting the objector; and

•
A statement indicating whether the objector and/or his or her counsel intends to
appear at the Fairness Hearing and, if so, a list of all persons, if any, who
will be called to testify in support of the objection.

21

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

Any Class Member who does not file a timely written objection to the Settlement
and notice of his or her intent/non-intent to appear at the Fairness Hearing, or
who otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Section shall be
foreclosed from seeking any adjudication or review of the Settlement by appeal
or otherwise.
2.     Request For Exclusion
Any Class Member who wishes to be excluded from the Class and to become an Opt
Out must submit a request for exclusion to the Settlement Administrator at the
address specified in the Class Notice by the date specified in the anticipated
Preliminary Approval Order and recited in the Class Notice. Class Members who
wish to be excluded from the Settlement Class must do so with respect to all
Class Vehicles they own(ed) or lease(d). Class Members may not exclude
themselves from the Class with respect to one or more Class Vehicles while
seeking relief through the Settlement with respect to other Class Vehicles. To
be effective, the request for exclusion must be sent via First Class U.S. Mail
to the address specified in the Class Notice and:
•
Include the Class Member’s full name, address, and telephone number;

•
Identify the model, model year, and VIN of the Class Member’s Class Vehicle(s);

•
Explicitly and unambiguously state his, her, or its desire to be excluded from
the Settlement Class in In re Navistar MaxxForce Engines Marketing, Sales
Practices and Products Liability Litigation; and

•
Be individually and personally signed by the Class Member. If the Class Member
is an entity and not an individual, the objection must be signed by an officer
or director of the entity and include an affidavit that attests to that person’s
ability to act on behalf of that entity.

Any Class Member who fails to submit a timely and complete request for exclusion
sent to the proper address shall be subject to and bound by this Settlement and
every order or judgment entered pursuant to this Settlement. Any purported
request for exclusion or other communication sent to such address that is
unclear or internally inconsistent with respect to the Class Member’s desire to
be excluded from the Settlement Class will be deemed invalid unless determined
otherwise by the Court. Requests for exclusion can only be submitted on behalf
of each Class Vehicle(s) owned or leased by a particular Class Member. For
example, mass-opt outs and class requests for exclusion that are not signed by
each Class Member in the manner described above shall not be permitted. Requests
for Exclusion signed only by counsel or other representative shall also not be
permitted.
The Settlement Administrator will receive requests for exclusion and will follow
guidelines developed jointly by Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel
for determining in the first instance whether they meet the requirements for
Opting Out. Any communications from Class Members (whether styled as an
exclusion request, an objection, or a comment) as to which it is not readily
apparent that the Class Member meant to exclude himself, herself, or itself from
the Class will be evaluated jointly by Co-Lead Class Counsel and Defendants’
Counsel, who will make a good faith evaluation, if possible, of the Class
Member’s intentions. Any uncertainties about whether a Class Member is
requesting exclusion from the Settlement Class will ultimately be resolved by
the Court.

22

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

The Settlement Administrator will maintain a list of all Opt Outs. The
Settlement Administrator shall report the names and addresses of all such
entities and natural persons requesting exclusion-the Opt Out List-to the Court,
Co-Lead Class Counsel, and Defendants’ Counsel no less than twenty-one (21) days
prior to the Fairness Hearing, and the Settling Parties will request that the
Court attach this Opt Out List as an exhibit to the Final Order and Judgment.
C.     Fairness Hearing
On the date set forth in the anticipated Preliminary Approval Order, a Fairness
Hearing will be held at which the Court will: (1) decide whether to approve the
Settlement Agreement as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) decide whether to
approve the application for a Service Award for the Named Plaintiffs; (3) decide
whether to approve Co-Lead Class Counsel’s motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs;
and (4) decide whether to certify the Class. The Settling Parties will request
that the Court hold the Fairness Hearing approximately twenty-one (21) days
after the deadline for submitting objections and requests for exclusion.     
D.     Final Order And Judgment
If the Court grants final approval to this Settlement Agreement, the Settling
Parties will request that the Court issue a Final Order and Judgment directing
the entry of judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) ordering the following:
•
Certifying the Class;

•
Approving the Settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate as it applies to the
Class;

•
Declaring the Settlement to be binding on the Settling Parties and Settlement
Class;

•
Dismissing on the merits and with prejudice all cases underlying the
multidistrict litigation In re Navistar MaxxForce Engines Marketing, Sales
Practices and Products Liability Litigation other than those in which named or
individual plaintiffs have Opted Out;

•
Forever discharging the Released Parties from all Released Claims;

•
Indicating the amount of the Service Award for the Named Plaintiffs;

•
Indicating the amount of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs to be awarded to Co-Lead
Class Counsel; and

•
Providing that all Class Members who did not Opt Out be permanently enjoined
from commencing or prosecuting any action, suit, proceeding, claim, or cause of
action asserting the Released Claims in any court or before any tribunal.

E.     Withdrawal From Settlement
1.     Withdrawal Rights Of Any Of The Settlement Parties
Any of the Settling Parties shall have the option to withdraw from this
Settlement Agreement, and to render it null and void, if any of the following
occurs:
a.    Any objections to the proposed Settlement are sustained and such objection
results in Court-ordered changes to the Settlement Agreement that the
withdrawing party deems to be material (e.g., because it increases the cost of
the settlement, delays approval and/or implementation of the Settlement, or
deprives the withdrawing party of a benefit of the Settlement);

23

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

b.    Any attorney general is allowed to intervene in the action and such
intervention results in Court-ordered changes to the agreement that the
withdrawing party deems to be material (e.g., because it increases the cost of
the Settlement, delays approval and/or implementation of the Settlement, or
deprives the withdrawing party of a benefit of the Settlement);
c.    The preliminary or final approval of the Settlement Agreement is not
obtained without modification to the proposed preliminary approval order
attached as Exhibit A-1 to this Settlement Agreement or the proposed final order
to be filed in support of final approval, and any modification to such orders
requested or stated by the Court as a condition for approval is deemed to be
material and is not agreed to by the withdrawing party (e.g., because it
increases the cost of the Settlement, delays approval and/or implementation of
the Settlement, narrows the definition of or refuses to certify the Settlement
Class, or deprives the withdrawing party of a benefit of the Settlement);
d.    Entry of the Final Order and Judgment described in this Settlement is
reversed or modified by an appellate court in a manner that the withdrawing
party deems to be material.
For the purposes of this Section, any reduction in the amount of Attorneys’ Fees
and Costs or Service Award requested shall not be deemed a material change to
the Settlement Agreement.
2.     Withdrawal Rights Of Defendants
Defendants shall have the option to withdraw from this Settlement Agreement and
to render it null and void based on a certain number of Opt Outs. The Parties
have reached a separate agreement about when and how Defendants may assert such
rights, which they will seek leave to file under seal.
3.     Withdrawal Rights Of Co-Lead Class Counsel
Co-Lead Class Counsel shall have the option to withdraw from this Settlement
Agreement on behalf of Named Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class and to render
it null and void based on the oversubscription of both the Cash Fund and the
Rebate Fund under certain circumstances. The Parties have reached a separate
agreement about when and how Co-Lead
Class Counsel may assert such rights, which they will seek leave to file under
seal.
4.     Procedures For Withdrawal
The Settling Parties must follow the following procedures in order to withdraw
from the Settlement:
a.     In order to elect to withdraw from the Settlement and terminate the
Settlement Agreement on the basis set forth in Section VI.E.2, Defendants must
notify Co-Lead Class Counsel in writing of their election to do so within ten
(10) days after the Opt Out List has been served on the parties. If the first
Opt Out List circulated by the Settlement Administrator does not contain
sufficient Opt Outs to trigger Defendants’ right to withdraw, but the Settlement
Administrator subsequently provides an updated Opt Out List containing
sufficient Opt Outs to trigger

24

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

Defendants’ right to withdraw, then Defendants shall have ten (10) days from the
circulation of the updated Opt Out List to exercise that right, and the Settling
Parties shall have the right at either’s discretion to request that the Court
postpone the Fairness Hearing by the number of days between the provision of the
initial and updated Opt Out Lists. In the event that Defendants exercise their
right to withdraw under Section VI.E.2, Co-Lead Class Counsel shall have, at
their discretion, ten (10) days or such longer period as agreed to by the
Settling Parties to address the concerns of the Opt Outs. If through such
efforts the total number on the Opt Out List subsequently becomes and remains
fewer than the number submitted pursuant to Section VI.E.2, Defendants shall
withdraw their election to withdraw from the Settlement and terminate the
Settlement Agreement. In no event, however, shall Defendants have any further
obligation under this Agreement to any Opt Out unless he or she withdraws his or
her request for exclusion.
b.    In order to elect to withdraw from the Settlement and terminate the
Settlement Agreement on the basis set forth in Section VI.E.3, Co-Lead Class
Counsel must notify Defendants’ Counsel in writing of their election to do so
within ten (10) days after the close of the deadline to submit claims. In the
event that Co-Lead Class Counsel exercise their right to withdraw under Section
VI.E.3, Defendants shall have, at their discretion, ten (10) days or such longer
period as agreed to by the Settling Parties to address the concern of the
oversubscription. If through such efforts the issue of the oversubscription is
addressed in a manner that does not require a pro rata reduction of the claims
of the members of the Settlement Class, Co-Lead Class Counsel shall withdraw
their election to withdraw from the Settlement and terminate the Settlement
Agreement.
c.    To withdraw from the Settlement Agreement under any other provision of
this Section, the withdrawing party must provide written notice of withdrawal to
the other party’s lead counsel and to the Court.
In the event either party withdraws from the Settlement, this Settlement
Agreement shall be null and void, shall have no further force and effect with
respect to any party in the Litigation, and shall not be offered in evidence or
used in any litigation for any purpose, including the existence, certification,
or maintenance of any purported class. In the event of such withdrawal, this
Settlement Agreement and all negotiations, proceedings, documents prepared, and
statements made in connection herewith shall be without prejudice to the
Settling Parties, and shall not be deemed or construed to be an admission or
confession by any party of any fact, matter, or proposition of law, and shall
not be admitted into evidence or otherwise used in any manner for any purpose,
and all parties to the Litigation shall stand in the same position as if this
Settlement Agreement had not been negotiated, made, or filed with the Court.
Without limiting the foregoing, this Settlement Agreement and the fact of the
Settlement shall not be used or relied upon in this or any other proceeding as
evidence of the suitability of Named Plaintiffs’ claims, or any claims related
to EGR, for class treatment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 or any other rule or
statute. Upon withdrawal, either party may elect to move the Court to vacate any
and all orders entered pursuant to the provisions of this Settlement Agreement.

25

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

VII.     RELEASE OF SETTLEMENT CLASS CLAIMS
The Settling Parties agree to the following Release, which shall take effect
upon the Effective Date:
A.     Release
In consideration of the Settlement, the Named Plaintiffs and each member of the
Settlement Class, on behalf of themselves and any other legal or natural persons
who may claim by, through, or under them, agree to fully, finally, and forever
release, relinquish, acquit, discharge, and hold harmless the Released Parties
from any and all claims, demands, suits, petitions, liabilities, causes of
action, rights, and damages of any kind and/or type regarding the subject matter
of the Litigation, including, but not limited to, compensatory, exemplary,
punitive, and expert and/or attorneys’ fees or by multipliers, whether past,
present, or future, mature, or not yet mature, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, derivative or direct, asserted or
un-asserted, whether based on federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance,
regulation, code, contract, common law, or any other source, or any claim of any
kind arising from, related to, connected with, and/or in any way involving the
Litigation or the Class
Vehicles in any manner that are defined, alleged, included, or described in the
Second or Third Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint, the Litigation, or
any amendments of the Litigation (collectively, the “Released Claims”).
In connection with this Settlement Agreement, the Named Plaintiffs and members
of the Settlement Class acknowledge that they may hereafter discover claims
presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from
those that they now know or believe to be true concerning the subject matter of
the Litigation and/or the Release herein. Nevertheless, it is the intention of
Co-Lead Class Counsel and the members of the Settlement Class in executing this
Settlement Agreement to fully, finally, and forever settle, release, discharge,
and hold harmless all such matters, and all claims relating thereto which exist,
hereafter may exist, or might have existed (whether or not previously or
currently asserted in any action or proceeding) with respect to the Litigation,
except as otherwise stated in the Settlement Agreement.
The Named Plaintiffs expressly understand and acknowledge, and all Named
Plaintiffs and members of the Settlement Class will be deemed by the Final Order
and Judgment to acknowledge and waive, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the
State of California, which provides that:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.
The Named Plaintiffs and members of the Settlement Class expressly waive and
relinquish any and all rights and benefits that they may have under, or that may
be conferred upon them by, the provisions of Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, or any other law of any state or territory that is similar,
comparable, or equivalent to Section 1542, to the fullest extent they may
lawfully waive such rights.

26

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

Defendants release Named Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Class Counsel from any potential
claims, counter-claims, or other relief (including the ability to seek a bill of
costs under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) arising from the Litigation
and that could have been asserted against Named Plaintiffs or Co-Lead Class
Counsel as of the date of this Settlement Agreement.
B.     Named Plaintiffs’ Release
In addition, the Named Plaintiffs will execute individual releases and waivers
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-5, releasing all claims of any kind
arising from, related to, in connection with, or in any way involving the
allegations in the Second or Third Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint,
their individual or separate class complaints, the Litigation, or the Class
Vehicles.
C.     Limitation On Release
Nothing in this Agreement or Release shall be interpreted to modify or diminish
the manufacturer’s limited, written warranty with respect to a Class Vehicle.
Nothing in this Release shall affect any lease, loan, or purchase payments due
Defendants or their affiliates.
Members of the Settlement Class are not releasing any entitlement to Future
Authorized Field Changes.
Members of the Settlement Class (other than Named Plaintiffs) are not releasing
any claims for personal injury or damage to property other than the Class
Vehicle and Covered Costs, and such claims are not included in the Release. The
Final Order and Final Judgment will reflect these terms.
D.     Preclusion Of Future Claims
The Named Plaintiffs and members of the Settlement Class expressly agree that
the Final Order and Judgment is, will be, and may be raised as a complete
defense to, and will preclude any action or proceeding encompassed by this
Release.
The Named Plaintiffs and members of the Settlement Class shall not now or
hereafter institute, maintain, prosecute, assert, and/or cooperate in the
institution, commencement, filing, or prosecution of any suit, action, and/or
proceeding, against the Released Parties, either directly or indirectly, on
their own behalf, on behalf of a class, or on behalf of any other person or
entity with respect to the claims, causes of action and/or any other matters
released through this Settlement.
Nothing in this Release shall preclude any action to enforce the terms of the
Agreement, including participation in any of the processes detailed herein.
E.     Representations And Warranties
The Named Plaintiffs represent and warrant that they are the sole and exclusive
owners of all claims that they are releasing under this Settlement Agreement.
Named Plaintiffs further represent and warrant that they have not assigned,
pledged, or in any manner whatsoever, sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered
any right, title, interest, or claim arising out of or in any way whatsoever
pertaining to the Litigation, including without limitation, any claim for
benefits, proceeds, or value under the Litigation

27

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

and that Named Plaintiffs are not aware of anyone other than themselves claiming
any interest, in whole or in part, in the Litigation or in any benefits,
proceeds, or values under the Litigation.
Without in any way limiting its scope, and, except to the extent otherwise
specified in the Settlement Agreement, this Release covers by example and
without limitation, any and all claims for attorneys’ fees, attorneys’ liens,
costs, expert fees, consultant fees, interest, litigation fees or costs, or any
other fees, costs, and/or disbursements incurred by any attorneys, Co-Lead Class
Counsel, Named Plaintiffs, or the Settlement Class who claim to have provided
assistance or legal services to the Class or any member of the Class relating in
any way to this Litigation, the claims asserted in this Litigation, and/or the
Class Vehicles.
Named Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Class Counsel hereby agree and acknowledge that the
provisions of this Release together constitute an essential and material term of
the Agreement and shall be included in any Final Order and Judgment entered by
the Court.
