COVERAGES-SPECIFIC - Continued

If a safety recall occurs during the vehicle warranty period, Oshkosh Corporation agrees to
extend the term of the warranty by a period equal to the time period required to make
necessary safety defect corrections. If the vehicle is in storage and the safety recall defect
correction time does not affect the required removal dates, the warranty extension does not
apply. The following brief summary of procedural Steps is outlined for reference in the event
