In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Declassification of Board. The Company agrees that it will hold its 2012 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2012 Annual Meeting") not later than March 31, 2012. In connection with the 2012 Annual Meeting, the Company agrees to and shall: (i) submit a resolution (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Icahn Group) to its stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting to amend the Company's restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, to declassify the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and provide for the annual election of all directors (the "Declassification Proposal") and (ii) if the Declassification Proposal is approved by the stockholders, amend such restated certificate of incorporation effective prior to the vote provided for in the following sentence to reflect the approval of such Declassification Proposal. If the Declassification Proposal is approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting, then the first of such annual elections shall take place at the 2012 Annual Meeting, at which directors shall be elected for a one-year term, and at all subsequent annual meetings, directors will be elected to a one-year term. The Company agrees that if the Declassification Proposal is approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting, then at least six (6) directorships will be vacant to be filled at the 2013 Annual Meeting (as defined below) and the Board will be composed of not more than a total of eleven (11) directorships. The Company agrees that its 2013 Annual Meeting will be held no later than March 31, 2013. The Company shall include the Declassification Proposal in its notice of meeting and its proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting and shall recommend to stockholders that they approve and adopt the Declassification Proposal. 2. 2012 Annual Meeting and Other Matters. (a) So long as the Company has complied and is complying with its obligations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, no member of the Icahn Group shall, directly or indirectly, and each member of the Icahn Group shall cause each Affiliate (as such term is defined below) of any such members (such Affiliates, collectively and individually, the "Icahn Affiliates") not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit proxies or written consents of stockholders, or conduct any other type of referendum (binding or non-binding) with respect to the Voting Securities (as defined below), or from the holders of the Voting Securities, any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting or become a "participant" (as such term is defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) in or assist any third party in any "solicitation" of any proxy, consent or other authority (as such terms are defined under the Exchange Act) to vote any shares of the Voting Securities for use at any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting, (ii) encourage, advise or influence any other person or assist any third party in so encouraging, assisting or influencing any person with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote or in conducting any other type of referendum at any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting, (iii) form or join in a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group, including without limitation a group as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, with respect to the Voting Securities, or otherwise support or participate in any effort by a third party with respect to the matters set forth in clause (i) above any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting, (iv) present any proposal for consideration for action by stockholders or propose any nominee for election to the Board at any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting, (v) grant any proxy, consent or other authority to vote with respect to any matters at any time prior to or at the 2012 Annual Meeting (other than to the named proxies included in the Company's proxy card for the 2012 Annual Meeting) or deposit any of the Voting Securities held by the Icahn Group or the Icahn Affiliates in a voting trust or subject them to a voting agreement or other arrangement of similar effect with respect to the 2012 Annual Meeting except as provided in Section 2(b) below, (vi) make any request under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law at any time prior to the 2012 Annual Meeting or (vii) at any time prior to the 2012 Annual Meeting, unless the Company makes, announces or proposes a material change in its business or strategies, make, or cause to be made, any statement or announcement that constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise disparages or is critical of, the Company, its officers or its directors. The Icahn Group's obligations set forth in this Section 2(a) shall be null and void and shall terminate immediately if the Company announces any proposals to be considered by stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting, other than the Annual Meeting Proposals (as defined below), or if the 2012 Annual Meeting is not held on or prior to March 31, 2012. As of the date hereof, the only proposals known to the Company to be considered by stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting are the Annual Meeting Proposals.

(b) So long as the Company has complied and is complying with its obligations set forth in this Agreement, each member of the Icahn Group shall (1) cause, in the case of all Voting Securities owned of record, and (2) instruct the record owner, in the case of all shares of Voting Securities beneficially owned but not owned of record, directly or indirectly, by it, or by any Icahn Affiliate, as of the record date for the 2012 Annual Meeting, in each case that are entitled to vote at the 2012 Annual Meeting, to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted, at the 2012 Annual Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof (but not later than March 31, 2012), (i) for up to three (3) directors nominated by the Board for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting and (ii) shall vote (or cause to be voted) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board for (x) the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent public accounting firm and (y) the Declassification Proposal; the Icahn Group may vote at its discretion with respect to the Company's say-on-pay proposal (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the "Annual Meeting Proposals").

For purposes of this Section 2(c), acquisition of "Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities" means acquisition of: (i) Voting Securities, (ii) rights or options to own or acquire any Voting Securities (whether such right or option is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions (whether or not within the control of such person), compliance with regulatory requirements or otherwise) and (iii) any other economic exposure to Voting Securities, including, without limitation, through any derivative transaction that gives any such person or any of such person's Affiliates the economic equivalent of ownership of an amount of Voting Securities due to the fact that the value of the derivative is explicitly determined by reference to the price or value of Voting Securities, or which provides such person or any of such person's Affiliates an opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit, or to share in any profit, derived from any change in the value of Voting Securities, in any case without regard to whether (x) such derivative conveys any voting rights in Voting Securities to such person or any of such person's Affiliates, (y) the derivative is required to be, or capable of being, settled through delivery of Voting Securities, or (z) such person or any of such person's Affiliates may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities; provided, however, that a person shall not acquire Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities as a result of a revocable proxy given to such person in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation; and (ii) The Company shall not adopt any stockholder rights agreement, commonly known as a "poison pill", or other device, that restricts or limits, or has the effect of restricting or limiting (including, without limitation, as the result of dilution), the Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities by the Icahn Group (together with the Icahn Affiliates) at or below the Ownership Limit. (d) From and after the date hereof until the completion of the 2013 Annual Meeting and the installation of the Board elected at such meeting, the Company agrees that it shall take no action and no action shall be taken to increase the size of the Board above eleven (11) directors, each having one vote on all matters. (e) If the Declassification Proposal is not approved by the requisite number of stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting held on or prior to March 31, 2012, then the obligations of the Company and the Icahn Group set forth in this Section 2 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. 3.

With this agreement, Mr. Icahn agreed not to seek Board representation at the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting and agreed to vote in favor of the Company's nominees for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting "Navistar's Board and management team are committed to acting in the best interests of the Company and all its shareholders, and we believe that the annual election of our directors, without a staggered board, further strengthens our corporate governance practices," said Dan Ustian, Navistar's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We also are pleased to have reached an agreement with Mr. Icahn that includes his support for our Board nominees for election at our upcoming shareholders meeting." If approved by the shareholders, Navistar will begin the annual election process starting with the class of three directors up for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Instead of three-year terms, each nominee would be elected to a one-year term at the 2012 Annual Meeting and subsequent annual meetings with a majority of the board being elected to a one-year term at the 2013 Annual Meeting, and all nominees being elected on an annualized cycle as of the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. "We have demonstrated a proven ability to deliver solid earnings, and our future growth prospects are strong in large part due to the strategy and vision of current management and the Board," Ustian said. "We remain intensely focused on delivering value for all shareholders by executing on our strategy, including building a differentiated product offering, enhancing our already strong North American business, growing our global truck and engine businesses, sustaining our global military business, and expanding our parts business." ABOUT NAVISTAR: Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates produce International brand commercial and military trucks, MaxxForce brand diesel engines, IC Bus brand school and commercial buses, Monaco RV brands of recreational vehicles, and Workhorse brand chassis for motor homes and step vans.
