Schedule II- Customer Relief Plan1 Extension

Effective June 1, 2020, any vehicles floored on or prior to March 18, 2020 and due for curtailment from June 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 may be curtailed with the payment for principal, fees, and interest deferred until each customer’s first contracted curtailment following June 30, 2020 (all deferred amounts will be due on such Curtailment Date).

The following guidelines are in place:

•    Dealers will have the ability to make a payment against principal if they so choose

•    Sold units are still required to be paid according to current policy

•    Units floored after March 18, 2020 or that are currently past due are not eligible

Any vehicles being requested for additional curtailments outside of contracted terms will require Regional Director approval

• No fees, including curtailment fees, are being waived

•    Dealers will not be eligible if:
o    they have sold out of trust (SOT) units;
o    they have repo units; or
o    if AFC has taken legal action against them
