EXHIBIT 10.30 EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT --------------------------------------- THIS AGREEMENT between Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), its principal operating subsidiary, International Truck and Engine Corporation (formerly named Navistar International Transportation Corp.), a Delaware corporation ("NITC" or "INTERNATIONAL"), and [EMPLOYEE] (the "Executive"), amends the Executive Severance Agreement ("ESA") previously entered into by the parties. WITNESSETH ---------- WHEREAS, the Company, International, and the Executive desire to make several changes to the ESA in effect among them; NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed that the ESA is hereby amended, effective October 17, 2000, to make the following changes: 1. Add a new paragraph (d) §4 of the Agreement to read as follows: (d) Anticipatory terminations. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of an Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control if: (i) the termination occurs prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the termination occurs at the request or direction of a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control or, (ii) the termination occurs prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the termination is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control as a result of an event which constitutes a Constructive Termination, if (i) the Executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstances or event which constitutes a Constructive Termination occurs at the request or direction of a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control or, (ii) the Executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes a Constructive Termination is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. 2. Add a new paragraph (e) §4 of the Agreement to read as follows: (e) Paragraph 4(b) of the Agreement defines Constructive Termination. Clause (i) of Paragraph 4(b) provides that a Constructive Termination includes an event that has a material change, adverse to the Executive. For the purpose of these provisions, a material change, adverse to the Executive is deemed to have occurred if Navistar International Corporation ceases to be a public company (except as a result of a transaction in which the Company ceases to be publicly traded and the Executive has, or has the right to acquire, an equity interest, including stock options, other than as part of a compensation program), and if the Executive is one of the following persons:
i) An executive officer of Navistar International Corporation; ii) An executive officer of NITC (currently named International Truck and Engine Corporation) who is on the Executive Council of Navistar International Corporation; iii) The Vice President of Public Affairs of NITC (currently named International Truck and Engine Corporation).
