NAVISTAR NON-EMPLOYEE

DIRECTORS' DEFERRED FEE PLAN

(Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

 

SECTION 1

PURPOSE

 

1.1       The Navistar Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Fee Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") has been established by Navistar International Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "Navistar") to attract and retain as members of the Board of Directors of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Board") persons who are not full-time employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, but whose business experience and judgment are a valuable asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan was originally adopted on August 14, 1995, and subsequently amended as of June 16, 1997. This amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective as of January 1, 2005, except as otherwise provided herein, and is intended primarily to conform to the provisions of Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with respect those amounts deferred under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code. Any deferred amounts under the Plan that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to this amendment and restatement.

 

SECTION 2

DIRECTORS COVERED

 

2.1       As used in the Plan, the term "Director" means any person who: (A) is now a member of the Board or is hereafter elected to the Board, and (B) is not a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

SECTION 3

DEFERRED DIRECTORS' FEES

 

3.1       Subject to obtaining the consent of the Company at the time a fee deferral election is made, a Director may elect to defer receipt of all or part of the fees otherwise payable in cash for attendance at regular or special meetings (including executive sessions) of the Board or its committees and/or the annual Director retainer fees otherwise payable in cash, including retainer fees for chairing a Board committee, as hereinafter provided. A Director may make such a deferral election by filing an election form with the Secretary of the Company (the "Secretary") before the end of whichever of the following periods applies to the Director: (A) within the first 30 days after the Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (or in any other plan with which the Plan is aggregated under Section 409A of the Code), or (B) if that 30-day period has expired, before the close of the Director’s taxable year preceding the taxable year in which the Director will earn the fees to be deferred. At the end of the applicable period, the Director’s deferral election shall be irrevocable. Any election made within the first 30 days after a Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (or in any other plan with which the Plan is aggregated under Section 409A of the Code) shall apply only to fees earned after the month in which the Director makes such election. Any election made after such 30-day period shall apply only to fees earned after the end of the Director’s taxable year in which the Director makes such election. A Director may change any election that the Director has made under this Section 3.1 by filing a new election form with the Secretary in accordance with Section 3.1 at any time before the prior election becomes irrevocable.

 

3.2       All Directors' fees that are deferred in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 shall be credited to a deferred cash account for the Director at the time such deferred Director’s fees would otherwise have been payable to such Director. Such deferred cash account shall bear interest, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter, from the date amounts are credited thereto to the last day of the calendar quarter (or to the date of payment, if earlier) at the rate equivalent to the rate of interest as published on the first day of such quarter by The Wall Street Journal as the "prime" rate or the equivalent thereof.

EXHIBIT 10.65 (continued)

 

3.3      A Director may elect to defer, and to allocate to Navistar share units, all or any portion of the fees that would otherwise be payable to such Director in cash or Navistar common stock for service as a Director. Such deferral shall be subject to mutual agreement between the Company and the Director, and the making of an election in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 3.1.

 

3.4       For each year for which an election under Section 3.3 is in effect, share units shall be credited to a deferred stock account for the Director. The number of share units credited shall equal (a) in the case of any fees that would otherwise be payable to the Director in Navistar common stock, including restricted common stock, the number of shares of Navistar common stock for which the election is effective, and (b) in the case of fees that would otherwise be payable to the Director in cash, the number of whole shares of Navistar common stock with a value equal to the amount of such cash, determined based on the average of the high and low publicly reported sale prices of a share of Navistar common stock on the date such cash otherwise would have been paid. Any share units that are provided in lieu of fees that would have been paid in shares of restricted common stock shall be subject to the same restrictions that would have applied to such restricted common stock. Any shares of Navistar common stock for which an election under Section 3.3 is not effective (determined by rounding up to the nearest whole share) shall be transferred to the Director and subject to such restrictions and conditions as otherwise provided under this Plan or the Company’s 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (or any successor plan thereto), as amended from time to time (the “PIP”), as appropriate.

 

Each Director’s deferred stock account shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends that would have been paid on shares on Navistar common stock that are equal in number to the share units then credited to the Director’s deferred stock account. Such dividend equivalent amounts shall be converted immediately into share units of equal value, determined based on the average of the high and low publicly reported sale prices of a share of Navistar common stock on the date the dividends are paid on such shares. The amount in the deferred stock account shall be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Interest shall not be credited to the deferred stock account. Any additional share units credited pursuant to this paragraph shall be subjec
