When an action for compliance with the terms of a contract is stayed pursuant to this chapter, a penalty shall not accrue for failure to comply with the terms of the contract during the period of the stay.
If a servicemember* fails to perform an obligation arising under a contract and a penalty is incurred arising from that nonperformance, a court* may reduce or waive the fine or penalty if—
the servicemember was in military service* at the time the fine or penalty was incurred; and
the ability of the servicemember to perform the obligation was materially affected by such military service.
