Adjusted Capitalized Cost $35,000
Adjusted Residual Value + $18,000
$53,000
Dealer Participation Factor x 0.00073
$38.69
Lease Term (36 months) x 36

SOLD ORDER PROTECTION
Sold order protection is available when a vehicle is sold to, or ordered for, a customer during an incentive program,
and that program will be expired by the time the vehicle is delivered. Sold Order Protection is a Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles Program administered by Chrysler Capital. All program rules must be adhered to as listed in the Gold
Book. To qualify for the program, please see the Sold Order Protection Checklist located on the Chrysler Capital
Dealer Website for a listing of documents required at the time of funding.
The dealer must submit the customer application to Chrysler Capital and notify their credit buyer that the
customer’s deal is eligible for sold order protection. Sold order protection is available for consumer incentive
programs as of the date of the buyer’s order and deposit or the date of delivery.
In the event that the buyer’s order date and delivery date are in dierent incentive time periods, the customer has
the option to choose the time period for incentives. All programs and incentives must be used for only the selected
time period and are subject to approval based on a recent credit report.
Chrysler Capital reserves the right to modify, change and/or amend the Sold Order Protection Policy at any time.

CHRYSLER CAPITAL ALLEGIANCE TEAM - The Chrysler Capital Allegiance Team is dedicated to help dealers by
facilitating dealer payos, dealer buyouts, vehicle grounding, vehicle purchase, vehicle transports and all other
lease-end related activities. The Allegiance Team also serves as the customer’s lease-end coordinator by directing

inventory sales process and the end-of-term billing process.

mileage and any remaining charges, including outstanding taxes that may or may not have already been billed.
7Chrysler Capital Lease Program Guide
RETURN THE VEHICLE AND LEASE OR PURCHASE A NEW ONE - If the customer decides to return the vehicle,
they can make an appointment with their dealer. When the customer chooses a vehicle and qualifies for a new
lease or financing, they’ll experience the same great benefits, such as:
» Driving the latest model with the most recent technology
» No resale or trade-in hassles
» Fast, convenient arrangements through their dealer
If the customer decides to re-lease through Chrysler Capital they may be eligible for loyalty rewards such as a
waived disposition fee.
PURCHASE THE VEHICLE - If the customer decides to keep the vehicle, they may purchase it at the price stated in
their lease agreement, plus any applicable fees, charges and taxes. Chrysler Capital financing may be available for
qualified customers. The customer should contact their dealer for assistance with the purchase.
If a customer decides to purchase the vehicle, any excess wear and tear and excess mileage charges do not apply.
RETURN THE VEHICLE AND PAY APPLICABLE FEES, CHARGES AND TAXES - If the customer chooses to return
the vehicle but does not desire to lease or purchase a new one, the FCA US dealer will take possession of the
lease return and Chrysler Capital will determine the fees associated with closing the account. Fees may include
the termination/disposition fee, plus applicable excess wear and tear, excess mileage and any remaining charges,
including outstanding taxes that may or may not have already been billed.
INSPECTION - As a customer approaches lease-end, a pre-inspection is oered at no charge to the customer. If a
pre-inspection has not been performed when the vehicle is returned, an inspection will take place after the vehicle
has been returned.
WEAR - It is important for customers to understand the dierence between normal and excess wear. Normal wear
is expected and a customer is not charged. Excess wear beyond normal wear will result in additional charges to
the customer.
» Normal wear is the minor and reasonable wear a vehicle endures every day under ordinary operation. Normal
wear can include a few small door dings, paint scratches, stone chips or tire tread that is worn to no less than
4/32 inch.
» Excess wear includes wear beyond those of normal everyday use. This includes wear caused by neglect,
abuse, damage, poor maintenance, changing the vehicle’s appearance or using inferior parts and material for
repairs or other examples contained in the lease agreement. Please be aware that the dollar amounts of the
excess wear can only be determined by a formal inspection before or at turn in, which will tell customers if
their vehicle has any excess wear.
A Wear and Tear Loyalty Waiver may be available for customers re-leasing through Chrysler Capital. It can cover
wear and tear charges up to $500.
MILEAGE - Mileage driven beyond the contractual allowance will be assessed per the lease agreement. These
charges will be applied to the customer’s vehicle return invoice and are billed to the customer upon the return of
the vehicle.
8Chrysler Capital Lease Program Guide
TERMINATION
EARLY TERMINATION LIABILITY - On early termination, customer agrees to pay Chrysler Capital the following items:
» A standard vehicle return fee of $495
» All accrued and unpaid amounts that are due or past due at that time
» The amount by which the adjusted lease balance at that time exceeds the realized value
- If realized value is greater than the adjusted lease value, the excess will be applied as a credit toward liability
- For single payment lease only, any remaining amount of the excess will be credited to the customer
» All ocial fees and taxes imposed in connection with the lease termination
If the early termination occurred because of theft, loss or irreparable damage to the vehicle, any insurance proceeds
received by us for that theft, loss or damage will be applied to pay that early termination liability.
Lessee can complete the lease 90 days or less prior to the maturity date without a vehicle- return fee or an early
termination fee by paying the remaining lease payments and (if applicable) excess wear and tear, excess mileage,
disposition fee and any remaining charges, including outstanding taxes that may or may not have already been billed.
Full maturity termination is defined as a vehicle that is returned on or after the last payment has been made, or on or
after the maturity date. Additional fees may occur if the vehicle is not turned in by the maturity date (see contract).
DEALER EARLY LEASE BUYOUT OPTION
Customer Early Termination – If a customer wishes to terminate their lease more than 90 days from the maturity
date without paying o the account or paying the remaining payments, the customer is responsible for the liability
outlined on the lease contract. This liability may include a vehicle return fee, an early termination fee, all unpaid
or past-due amounts, ocial fees and taxes and the adjusted lease balance. No inspection is necessary under this
option. Once the vehicle is sold at auction the proceeds from the sale will be applied to the liability owed by the
customer, if applicable, and the customer will be billed as per the lease contract.
Dealer Early Lease Buyout – Using this option, the account will be treated as a matured lease in that applicable
early termination vehicle return fees are waived if unpaid by the dealer. The dealer agrees to make the remaining
lease payments to Chrysler Capital and the customer will be billed for any excess wear and tear, excess mileage
and other fees due.
Under the Dealer Early Lease Buyout option, the inspection for wear will occur after the vehicle has been
grounded. The customer will be billed for any applicable charges approximately 30 days later. Once all payments,
fees, mileage overages and excess wear fees have been received, the account will be closed and the customer will
not be responsible for potential residual deficiencies.
Step-by-Step Dealer Process – Please refer to the Chrysler Capital Dealer Lease-End Guide on the Chrysler Capital
Dealer Website via DealerCONNECT.
Determine Remaining Payments – Please refer to the Chrysler Capital Lease-End Grid on the Chrysler Capital
Dealer Website via DealerCONNECT for payment options.
Dealer payos will be available until 60 days prior to maturity for all dealers, 30 days prior to maturity for Gold
Level VIP dealers.* After that, purchases will be based on market value pricing. Dealer payos will be available all
the way to maturity for Chrysler Capital floorplan dealers.
*Must attain gold level status two out of the three previous three months; status is updated by the 15th day of the
quarter’s first month.
