 SERVICING AGREEMENT 
 SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 28, 2008 (as it may be further amended, supplemented or modified, this “Agreement”), among Navistar Financial Retail Receivables
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NFRRC”), Navistar Financial 2008-B Owner Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), Navistar Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter, together with its
successors and assigns, “NFC” or, in its capacity as servicer hereunder, the “Servicer”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, acting in its capacity as Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture (the “Indenture Trustee”). 
 R E C I T A L S: 

WHEREAS, NFRRC and NFC are parties to the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which NFRRC will purchase from time to time the Designated
Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto from NFC; 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer will issue Notes pursuant to the
Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and exchange the Notes and the Certificates for the Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto transferred from time to time by NFRRC pursuant to the Pooling Agreement;

 WHEREAS, the Servicer desires to perform the servicing obligations set forth herein relating to the Receivables and the
Related Security owned by the Issuer for and in consideration of the fees and other benefits set forth in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the Receivables are to be serviced by the Servicer. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS

 SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in the above recitals and in this Agreement shall
have the respective meanings assigned them in Part I of Appendix A to the Pooling Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Issuer and NFRRC (as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) unless otherwise defined herein.
The rules of construction set forth in Part II of Appendix A to the Pooling Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE II

 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES 
 SECTION 2.01 Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby appointed and authorized to act as a contractor of the Owner and the Indenture Trustee with respect to servicing the 

 
Receivables and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill
and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and
agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. The Servicer’s duties with respect to all Receivables shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the
Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, policing the collateral securing the Receivables, accounting for collections with respect thereto and performing the other duties
specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with
such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. 
 Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01, to execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the related Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence in the name of the Owner or, to the extent necessary, in its
own name, a legal proceeding to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as contemplated by Section 2.04, and to commence or participate in any legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable (including
a Liquidating Receivable). If the Servicer commences or participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the Owner thereupon shall be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing
and participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner, to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or
other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Receivable, the Owner shall, at the Servicer’s expense and written directions, take such reasonable steps as the Servicer reasonably deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name of such Person. The Owner, upon
the written request of the Servicer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents. Except to the extent required by the preceding three sentences, the authority and rights granted to the Servicer in this Section 2.01 shall be
nonexclusive and shall not be construed to be in derogation of any equivalent authority and rights of the Owner. 
 SECTION
2.02 Establishment of Accounts. 
 (a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Financial Parties
(including the Swap Counterparty), shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar Financial 2008-B Owner Trust Collection Account (the “Collection Account”),
bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Financial Parties. 
  

 - 2 - 

 (ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish
and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar Financial 2008-B Owner Trust Note Distribution Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing an additional designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders. 
 (iii)
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar Financial 2008-B Owner Trust Certificate Distribution
Account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. 
 (iv) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Financial Parties (including the Swap Counterparty), shall establish and
maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Navistar Financial 2008-B Owner Trust Reserve Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of such Financial Parties. 
 (b) (i) Each of the Designated
Accounts shall be initially established with the Indenture Trustee and shall be maintained with the Indenture Trustee so long as (A) the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee have the Required Deposit Rating or
(B) each of the Designated Accounts qualifies as an Eligible Deposit Account. All amounts held in such accounts (including amounts, if any, which the Servicer is required to remit daily to the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 2.11) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, at the written direction of the Servicer, by such bank or trust company in Eligible Investments; provided, that funds in the
Collection Account in an amount not in excess of 20% of the Aggregate Receivables Balance as of the preceding Accounting Date may be invested in investments which have a rating from S&P of “A-1” rather than “A-1+,” if such
investments otherwise constitute Eligible Investments. Such written direction shall constitute certification by the Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 2.02. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account shall be
invested in Eligible Investments which mature prior to the next Distribution Date; provided, that such investments may mature on a later date if the Agent consents or upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Investments in Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee or its nominee, and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. Should the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee (or any other
bank or trust company with which the Designated Accounts are maintained) no longer have the Required Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, with consent of the
Agent or upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect thereto), with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, cause the Designated Accounts (A) to be moved to a bank or trust company, the short-term unsecured debt
obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or (B) to be moved to an Eligible Deposit Account. Investment Earnings on funds deposited in the Designated Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account for distribution in
accordance with Section 8.2 of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee or the other Person holding the Designated Accounts as provided in this Section 2.02(b)(i) shall be the “Securities Intermediary.” If the
Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, 

  

 - 3 - 

 
the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 2.02.

 (ii) With respect to the Designated Account Property, the Securities Intermediary agrees, by its
acceptance hereof, that: 
 (A) The Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets will be
credited. 
 (B) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Designated
Accounts shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any
Financial Asset credited to any of the Designated Accounts be registered in the name of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller, payable to the order of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller or specially endorsed to the Issuer, the Servicer or the
Seller except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. 
 (C) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the appropriate Designated Account. 
 (D) Each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to a Designated Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within
the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC. 
 (E) If at any time the Securities
Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent
by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller or any other Person. 
 (F) The Designated Accounts shall be governed
by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the Securities
Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 (G) The Securities
Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed
to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement
with the Issuer, the Seller, the 

  

 - 4 - 

 
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Swap Counterparty purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with
entitlement orders as set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii)(E). 
 (H) Except for the claims and
interest of the Indenture Trustee and of the Issuer in the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other person asserts any
lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Agent, the Swap Counterparty and the Issuer. 
 (I) The
Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Designated Accounts and/or any Designated Account Property simultaneously to each of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Agent at the addresses set forth in Appendix B to the Pooling Agreement. 
 (iii) The Servicer shall have
the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee (or by the Issuer with the consent of the Indenture Trustee) to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Designated Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or
the Issuer to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture. 
 (iv) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein or in
the Indenture, the Designated Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Financial Parties (including the Swap Counterparty in the case of the Collection Account and the Reserve Account).

 (v) The Servicer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any
investment held in any of the Designated Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any
Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee, to such effect. 
 (c) Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Issuer shall possess all right, title and
interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not
to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which the Certificateholders or each Rating Agency 

  

 - 5 - 

 
may consent) establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall cause the Issuer to transfer any cash and/or any
investments in the old Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account. 
 (d)
The Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Securities Intermediary and each other Eligible Deposit Institution with whom a Designated Account or the Certificate Distribution Account is maintained waives any right of set-off, counterclaim, security
interest or bankers’ lien to which it might otherwise be entitled. 
 SECTION 2.03 Collection of Receivables
Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection practices, policies and procedures
as it follows with respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. Except as provided in Section 2.07(c), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant
extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable and to rewrite, in the ordinary course of its business, a Receivable to reflect the Full Prepayment of a Receivable with respect to any
related Financed Vehicle without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing such Receivable. Subject to Section 2.13 of this Agreement, the Servicer shall allocate payments on Receivables between principal and interest in accordance with the customary servicing procedures it follows with respect to all
comparable medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. 
 SECTION 2.04 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. 
 (a) The Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership or otherwise take possession of each Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be
repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by or relating to each such Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such practices, policies and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable
and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others, which practices, policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize
upon or obtain benefits of any proceeds from any Dealer Liability, proceeds from any International Purchase Obligations, proceeds from any Insurance Policies and proceeds from any Guaranties, in each case with respect to the Receivables, selling the
related Financed Vehicle or Vehicles at public or private sale or sales and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon any Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair or repossession shall increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than or equal to the amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at such time as the Receivable
becomes a Liquidating Receivable in accordance with Section 8.2(b)(i) of the Indenture. 
  

 - 6 - 

 (b) The Servicer shall pay all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred
by it in connection with any action taken in respect of a Financed Vehicle; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses to the extent they constitute Liquidation Expenses or expenses
recoverable under an applicable Insurance Policy. 
 SECTION 2.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer
shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require that each Obligor under a Receivable shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the execution of such Receivable, unless the Servicer has
in accordance with its customary procedures permitted an Obligor to self-insure the Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles securing such Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, monitor such physical
damage insurance with respect to each Financed Vehicle that secures or is related to each Receivable. 
 SECTION 2.06
Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own expense, promptly take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security
interest created by a Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles. The Owner of each Receivable hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such security interests as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or
for any other reason. 
 SECTION 2.07 Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants on
which the Issuer is relying in acquiring the Receivables from time to time under the Pooling Agreement and issuing the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements: 
 (a) except as contemplated by the other Basic Documents, the Servicer shall not release any Financed Vehicle from the
security or ownership interest securing the related Receivable; 
 (b) the Servicer shall do nothing to impair
the rights of NFRRC, the Issuer, the Securityholders or the Indenture Trustee in and to such Receivables; 
 (c) the Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Receivable such that the Starting Receivable Balance, the Annual Percentage Rate or the total number of Scheduled Payments is altered or such that the final scheduled payment on such
Receivable will be due any later than September 30, 2015; and 
 (d) other than solely for the purpose of
collecting or enforcing the Receivables for the benefit of the Owner, (i) the Servicer shall not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest in any Receivables or Related Assets or records related to the Collateral and
(ii) the entire legal and equitable interest of the Owner of a Receivable in such Receivable and the Related Assets shall at all times be vested in such Owner. 
 SECTION 2.08 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. 
 (a) Upon discovery by the Servicer or any of the Interested Parties of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 2.06 and 2.07 with respect to any Receivable, the 

  

 - 7 - 

 
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second Accounting Date (or, at the Servicer’s election,
the first Accounting Date) following notice to or discovery by the Servicer of a breach of any covenant of the Servicer that materially and adversely affects any Receivable, unless such breach is cured in all material respects, the Servicer shall,
with respect to such Receivable (an “Administrative Receivable”) purchase such Administrative Receivable from the Issuer at a price equal to the Administrative Purchase Payment. The Servicer shall pay the Administrative Purchase
Payment as described in Section 2.11. 
 It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to
purchase any Receivable with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to any Interested Party for any such uncured
breach. 
 (b) Upon receipt of the Administrative Purchase Payment with respect to a Receivable which is an
Administrative Receivable, the applicable Owner shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Servicer (and shall take such other actions as the Servicer may reasonably request in writing to perfect or confirm such assignment)
all of such Person’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) such Administrative Receivable and all monies due thereon and (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Administrative Receivable, such assignment being an
assignment outright and not for security. Upon the assignment of such Administrative Receivable described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall own such Administrative Receivable, and all such Related Security, free of any further
obligations to such Person with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 2.09 Servicing Fee. In consideration for its services
hereunder and as compensation for expenses paid as contemplated by Section 2.10, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date a servicing fee (the “Basic Servicing Fee”) for the related Monthly
Period equal to one-twelfth of 1% (the “Basic Servicing Fee Rate”) multiplied by the Aggregate Receivables Balance as of the last day of the preceding Monthly Period. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer will be paid the Basic
Servicing Fee and any unpaid Basic Servicing Fees from all prior Distribution Dates (collectively, the “Total Servicing Fee”) pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Indenture to the extent of funds available therefor. In addition,
the Servicer will be entitled to receive any late fees, prepayment charges or certain similar fees and charges collected during a Monthly Period (the “Supplemental Servicing Fee”). The Servicer shall retain all Supplemental
Servicing Fees and shall not be obligated to deposit them into the Collection Account. 
 SECTION 2.10 Servicer
Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of the Issuer, any trustees and independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and
expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Interested Parties, but excluding federal, state and local income taxes, if any, of
the Issuer or any Securityholder. 
  

 - 8 - 

 SECTION 2.11 Deposits to Collection Account. The Servicer shall remit to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit to the Collection Account all Collections it receives during each Monthly Period within two Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, however, that if the Servicer receives Collections from an
unidentified source, then the Servicer shall remit such Collections within two Business Days after identification thereof. However, Collections received (i) during the period from the Initial Cutoff Date to the Closing Date and (ii) during
the period from the Subsequent Cutoff Date to the Subsequent Transfer Date, shall be deposited to the Collection Account within 48 hours after the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. The Servicer shall remit to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit (in immediately available funds) in the Collection Account the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables to be purchased as of the last day of any Monthly Period on the Business Day
immediately preceding the immediately succeeding Distribution Date. 
 SECTION 2.12 Collections. In the event that:

 (a) NFC is the Servicer, 
 (b) a Servicer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, and 
 (c) (i) the Servicer satisfies the requirements for monthly remittances of Collections established by each Rating Agency,
and upon satisfaction of such requirements, each Rating Agency reaffirms the rating of the Notes at the level at which they would be rated if Collections were remitted within two Business Days of receipt, 
 (ii) the short-term unsecured debt of the Servicer is rated at least “A-1” by S&P and “P-1” by
Moody’s, or 
 (iii) a standby letter of credit has been issued by an Eligible Institution which, as of
each date during the period that the Servicer is making monthly remittances of Collections, has an undrawn amount at least equal to 150% of all Scheduled Payments due in respect of the Receivables for the latest Monthly Period ended prior to the
next succeeding Distribution Date (and the aggregate amount of unremitted Collections does not at any time exceed 90% of the undrawn amount of such letter of credit), 
 then, the Servicer shall not be required to deposit Collections into the Collection Account until the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date following the Monthly Period during which such Collections were

with respect to such Receivable, (ii) second, to the Scheduled Payment on such Receivable for such Monthly Period, and (iii) third, the remainder shall constitute, with respect to such Receivable, a Full Prepayment or Partial
Prepayment; and

 (b) a Partial Prepayment made on a Receivable is applied to reduce the
final Scheduled Payment and will thereafter, to the extent the Partial Prepayment exceeds the final Scheduled Payment, reduce Scheduled Payments in reverse chronological order beginning with the penultimate Scheduled Payment. The Rebate related to
such Partial Prepayment will reduce the final Scheduled Payment and will thereafter, to the extent the Rebate exceeds the final Scheduled Payment, reduce Scheduled Payments in reverse chronological order beginning with the penultimate Scheduled
Payment. 
 SECTION 2.14 Monthly Advances. Subject to the following sentence, as of each Accounting Date, if the
payments received by the Servicer during the related Monthly Period by or on behalf of the Obligor on a Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable, a Warranty Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable) after application of such payments under
Section 2.13(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment on such Receivable for such Monthly Period, whether as a result of any extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Servicer shall advance any such shortfall (such
amount, a “Monthly Advance”). The Servicer shall be obligated to make a Monthly Advance in respect of a Receivable only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such advance shall be recoverable
(in accordance with the two immediately following sentences) from subsequent collections or recoveries on such Receivable. Subject to Section 8.2 of the Indenture, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for unreimbursed Outstanding Monthly Advances
with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable, in each case as set forth in this Agreement; (i) subsequent payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (ii) Liquidation Proceeds, (iii) the
Administrative Purchase Payment, together with the amount of any Monthly Advance released pursuant to the definition thereof, and (iv) the Warranty Payment. At such time as the Servicer shall determine that Outstanding Monthly Advances with
respect to any Receivable shall not be recoverable from payments with respect to such Receivable, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from any Collections made on other Receivables. 
 SECTION 2.15 Additional Deposits. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Monthly Advances pursuant to
Section 2.14. The Servicer and the Warranty Purchaser shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments and Warranty Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables,

 SECTION 2.16 Net Deposits. At any time that (i) NFC shall be the Servicer and (ii) the Servicer shall be permitted by
Section 2.12 of this Agreement to remit collections on a basis other than a daily basis, the Indenture Trustee at the written request of the Servicer may make any remittances pursuant to this Article II or Article VIII of the
Indenture net of amounts to be distributed by the Indenture Trustee to such remitting party. Nonetheless, each such party shall account for all of the above described remittances and distributions as if the amounts were deposited and/or transferred
separately.

(other than any successor Servicer who is not an affiliate of the initial Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof it being understood that the removed Servicer shall
retain such liability) will indemnify the Owner Trustee in accordance with the provisions specified in Section 6.9 of the Trust Agreement. 
 (b) Indemnification under this Section 6.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Agreement or the Trust
Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 6.05 and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest. 
 SECTION 6.06
Backup Servicer. On or prior to the Closing Date, NFC, as Servicer, will enter into a backup servicing agreement (the “Backup Servicing Agreement”) with a Person who meets the criteria specified for a successor Servicer as
set forth in Section 7.03 and who agrees to become a successor servicer if appointed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.03 (the “Backup Servicer”). Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Backup Servicer a data tape or other electronic data file compiling data for the previous calendar month relating to the Receivables. The Backup Servicer shall have within 30 days of the Closing Date mapped the Servicer’s
data system as it relates to the Receivables. Unless and 

  

 - 20 - 

 
until a Servicer Default occurs and the Backup Servicer is appointed as the successor Servicer, the sole obligation of the Backup Servicer will be to perform
systems data mapping of NFC’s servicing computer systems. The costs and expenses associated with the Backup Servicer performing such system data mapping shall be paid for by the Servicer.

 - 21 - 

 (f) a default by the Servicer in the performance of any term, provision
or condition contained in any agreement under which any indebtedness of the Servicer in excess of $50 million was created or is governed, the effect of which is to cause any such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or any such
indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled payment or as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets) prior to the stated maturity date thereof, and
the failure of the Servicer to repay such indebtedness in full or otherwise caused such indebtedness to be reinstated within 30 days after such indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid;

 SECTION 7.02 Consequences of a Servicer Default. If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee or holders of Securities evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Controlling Class may, in addition to other rights and remedies available in a court of law or equity to damages, injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder and under all
sub-servicing agreements whereupon the Indenture Trustee will succeed to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Receivables, the Receivable Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 7.02. Upon the receipt of such notice, the Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall be terminated and, upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release all Receivable Files to the Indenture
Trustee, or its respective agent or assignee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the
Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an officer of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer 

  

 - 22 - 

 
and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee or any
successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by
the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account or the Certificate Distribution Account or thereafter received that shall at any
time be held with respect to the Receivables by the Servicer. 
 SECTION 7.03 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of
Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.02, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer and custodian under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer and
Custodian by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents; provided, however, that if the Backup Servicer satisfies the criteria for a successor servicer specified below, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
appoint the Backup Servicer as the successor Servicer; provided, further, that the predecessor Servicer shall remain liable for, and the successor Servicer shall have no liability for, any indemnification obligations of the Servicer
arising as a result of acts, omissions or occurrences during the period in which the predecessor Servicer was the Servicer; and provided, further, that NFC shall remain liable for all such indemnification obligations of the Servicer
without regard to whether it is still Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer
would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given including, but not limited to, the Total Servicing Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees. Notwithstanding the above, if the Indenture Trustee does not
appoint the Backup Servicer as the successor servicer then the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is legally unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor
(i) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 or whose majority owner is, either directly or indirectly, a Person having a net worth on a consolidated basis of not less than $100,000,000 and (ii) whose regular business includes the
servicing of receivables of the type included in the Collateral, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Upon
termination of the Servicer and after appointment of a successor Servicer, the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with such successor Servicer to notify all Obligors to cease remitting payments to bank accounts and lock boxes controlled by the
Servicer and to instead remit payment directly to any bank accounts and lock boxes designated by such successor Servicer. If at any time on or after the date on which the Servicer is terminated the Servicer receives any payment from any Obligor,
then the Servicer shall promptly forward the amount of such payment, along with copies of any remittances or other documentation accompanying such payment, to the successor Servicer. 
  

 - 23 - 

 SECTION 7.04 Notification to Securityholders. Upon any termination of, or
appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, the Rating Agencies and the Agent, and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders. 
 SECTION 7.05 Repayment of Advances. If a successor Servicer shall
be appointed, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 2.14 in the manner specified in Section 8.2 of the Indenture
with respect to all Monthly Advances made by such predecessor Servicer. The successor Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for Monthly Advances made by the predecessor Servicer. 
 SECTION 7.06 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the holders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Designated
Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Servicer shall give written notice of each such waiver to the Agent and the Rating Agencies. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 8.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time (subject to any expressly applicable amendment provision
of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements) by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be amended unless such amendment is in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.01 of the Pooling Agreement as if such Section 5.01 were contained herein and were applicable to this Agreement. Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to the Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the consent of the Swap Counterparty is required pursuant to the Swap Counterparty Rights Agreement, any such purported amendment shall be null and
void ab initio unless the Swap Counterparty consents in writing to such amendment. Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Rating Agencies. 

SECTION 8.02 Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement
shall terminate upon the earlier of:

termination of the Pooling Agreement pursuant to Section 4.02 thereof. 
  

 - 24 -

 SECTION 8.04 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Illinois. 
 SECTION 8.05 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 8.06
Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent permitted by Article VI or as required by Article VII, the Servicer may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that
the Issuer shall assign all of its rights, title and interest in this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Financial Parties pursuant to the Indenture. The Servicer agrees that each of the Indenture Trustee and the Agent is an express
third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement and, as such, shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold
any consents or approvals of the Issuer to be given or withheld hereunder). The Servicer shall deliver copies of all statements, reports, Opinions of Counsel, notices, requests, demands and other documents to be delivered by the Servicer to Issuer
pursuant to the terms hereof to the Indenture Trustee. The Swap Counterparty shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement only to the extent that it has rights specified herein or rights with respect to this Agreement specified in the Swap
Counterparty Rights Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Swap Counterparty Rights Agreement or in this Article VIII, no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.03 or in this Article VIII, no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 8.09 Headings and Cross-References. The various headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 
  

 - 25 - 

 SECTION 8.10 No Petition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations and the final distribution with respect to the Securities, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or
NFRRC to invoke or join any other Person in instituting the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or NFRRC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
liquidation proceeding, or similar law of the United States or any state of the United States. 
 SECTION 8.11 Limitation
of Liability of the Trustees. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Agreement has been acknowledged and accepted by The Bank of New York Mellon, not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee, and in no event shall The Bank of New York Mellon have any liability for the representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been executed by Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Delaware not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee and in no event shall Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware in its individual capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner
Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which
recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder, or in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee
shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI of the Trust Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.12 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION,
EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF,
CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 Ex. B-5Form of letter to Participants for Performance Share Grants dated May 27, 2008

 Exhibit 10(a) 
 

 
 May 27, 2008 
 Dear
Participant: 
 I am very pleased to announce that the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors (the
“Committee”), at its meeting on Monday, May 12, 2008, approved two significant changes to outstanding performance share grants in order to ensure that all the holders of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (“Cliffs”) performance share
grants appropriately receive the intended benefits of theses awards. 
 The first change relates solely to the 2006 grant of
performance shares. You will recall that the 2006 grant measures performance based on the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of Cliffs compared the TSR of a peer group of companies (listed on Exhibit A to your Grant Agreement). Under the
original terms of the grant agreement, Cliffs’ TSR would be ranked against the TSR of the peer group at the end of every quarter during the 3 year performance period; at the end of the 3 year performance period, the 12 Quarterly rankings were
to be averaged for the final result (the “Quarterly Method”). 
 When the 2007 grants of performance shares were made, the
Committee changed the method of measuring TSR to a single computation of TSR for the entire 3 year performance period (the “Entire Period Method”). Cliffs’ TSR for the entire period is then ranked against the TSR for the entire
period of the peer group to determine whether there will be a payout on the performance shares and, if so, how much. 
 When the Committee
made this change in 2007, it wanted to retroactively change the 2005 and 2006 grants since the Entire Period Method is the better calculation method. However, since such a change could have lowered the potential payout under the 2005 grants, the
Committee could not make the change without your consent. In order to make it possible to introduce the Entire Period Method, the Committee gave each holder of the 2005 or 2006 grants a choice between the Quarterly Method and the Entire Period
Method (a single choice that applied to both the 2005 and 2006 grants). 
  

					
		 		 	

 Some holders of the 2006 grants elected the Quarterly Method and some elected the Entire Period Method.
However, because of the dramatic upswing in the relative TSR of Cliffs late in the 2006-08 cycle, the two calculation methods may result in vastly different payouts; in fact, the Quarterly Method is likely to result in no payout at all. The
Committee has determined that the predicted reward for the employees who chose the Quarterly Method would be inappropriate considering the success that the Company has enjoyed since January 1, 2006. 
 In order to correct this situation, the Committee determined to extend the Entire Period Method to all holders of 2006 grants. This means that, if the
Company continues on its present course, all such holders will enjoy the rewards that come from exceptional performance. In the unlikely event that the Quarterly Method will result in a higher payment, the Committee decided that the holder of a 2006
grant would receive the greater of the Entire Period method or the Quarterly Method. 
 Please remember, under the Entire Period Method, you
cannot fully count on there being any payout until the end of the 3 year performance period. Thus, it is important that each one of us continue to work to maintain the exceptional performance we have experienced. 
 The second change affects the calculation of Total Shareholder Return for peer group companies for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 grants of performance
shares. As granted in 2006 and 2007, if a company in the peer group ceased to be publicly traded, reorganized in bankruptcy, or sold more than 50% of its assets, it was automatically dropped from the peer group and nothing was added in its place
(“No Replacement Method”). While reliable when the peer group is stable over time, the No Replacement Method creates a problem when a large number of members of the peer group drop out. Due to the rapid changes in our industry, the
Committee is concerned about the long-term relevance of the original peer groups. 
 In order to solve the problem of a shrinking peer group,
the Committee, based upon the recommendation of its consulting firm, Mercer, determined that when a peer group company drops out, there will be substituted in its place the SPDR S&P Metals & Minerals ETF (XME) (“S&P Metals
ETF”) but with Cliffs taken out of the composite results (the “Replacement Method”). The S&P Metals ETF is a mutual fund managed by State Street Global Advisors to track the S&P Metals & Minerals Industry
Index. 
  

 The Committee has determined to use the Replacement Method in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 grants of
performance shares. Because this represents a change to the 2006 and 2007 grants, and because the Committee does not want your potential payout to be reduced because of this change, the Committee further determined that you will receive the
greater payout of the payout under the Replacement Method and the payout under the No Replacement Method for the 2006 and 2007 grants. 
 With these two changes, it is the belief of the Committee that the Performance Share Plan is much better suited to achieving the Committee’s goal of pay-for-performance and shareholder alignment. 
 If you have any questions about the changes, please contact me at 216-694-5940 or Jack Kennedy at 216-694-4830.
