ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT


Joinder Agreement to NFC Credit Agreement


On July 30, 2018, Navistar Financial Corporation (“ NFC ”) entered into a Joinder Agreement to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2016 (as amended, the “ Credit Agreement ”), by and among NFC and Navistar Financial, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Multiple, Entidad Regulada, a Mexican corporation, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, pursuant to which NFC borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 under a new seven-year senior secured term loan facility (the “ Term Loan B ”).  The proceeds of the Term Loan B were used to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Term Loan B and to make a loan to another subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation.  The remainder of the proceeds of the Term Loan B will be used for other general corporate purposes.


The Term Loan B is secured by a first priority security interest in certain assets of NFC that secure NFC’s other obligations under the Credit Agreement, on a pari passu basis with such other obligations.  The Term Loan B is subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the other borrowings under the Credit Agreement other than the following:  (i) the interest rate margin for the Term Loan B is 2.75% for alternate base rate loans and 3.75% for adjusted eurodollar rate loans; (ii) the maturity date is July 30, 2025; and (iii) if there is an event of default under the Credit Agreement as a result of the failure to comply with the financial covenants, the Term Loan B lenders have agreed to a standstill with respect to any such event of default until the revolving lenders either terminate their revolving commitments or accelerate the revolving loans.  The Term Loan B requires quarterly amortization payments of $1,000,000, with the balance due at maturity.


The foregoing description of the Joinder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joinder Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
