Buyer Signs X ENDY Jade Owen Co-Buyer Signs X Thorneydagadam Optional Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance Credit life insurance and credit disability insurance are not required to obtain credit. They will not be provided unless you sign and agree to pay the extra cost. Your decision to buy or not buy these insurance coverages will not be a factor in the credit approval process. ☐ Credit Life, one buyer $ N/A Term ___________________________ ☐ Credit Disability, one buyer $ N/A Term ___________________________ ☐ Credit Life, both buyers $ N/A Term ___________________________ ☐ Credit Disability, both buyers $ N/A Term ___________________________ (Insurance Company) (Home Office Address) Credit life insurance pays only the amount you would owe if you paid all your payments on time. Credit disability insurance does not cover any increase in your payment or in the number of payments. If the term of the insurance is 121 months or longer, the premium is not fixed or approved by the Texas Insurance Commissioner. You want the insurance indicated above. X X Buyer's signature Date Co-Buyer's signature Date Optional Insurance Coverages and Debt Cancellation Agreement The granting of credit will not be dependent on the purchase of either the insurance coverages or the debt cancellation agreement described below. It will not be provided unless you sign and agree to pay the extra cost. The credit approval process will not be affected by whether or not you buy these insurance coverages or the debt cancellation agreement.

If the box next to a premium for an insurance coverage included above is marked, that premium is not fixed or approved by the Texas Insurance Commissioner. A debt cancellation agreement is not insurance and is regulated by the Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner. For the premiums or fees included above, you want the related optional coverages and debt cancellation agreement. X X Buyer's signature Date Co-Buyer's signature Date OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. FINANCE CHARGE AND PAYMENTS a. HOW WE FIGURE THE FINANCE CHARGE. We figure the Finance Charge using the true daily earnings method as defined by the Texas Finance Code. Under the true daily earnings method, the Finance Charge will be figured by applying the daily rate to the unpaid portion of the Amount Financed for the number of days the unpaid portion of the Amount Financed is outstanding. The daily rate is 1/365th of the Annual Percentage Rate. The unpaid portion of the Amount Financed does not include late charges or return check charges. b. HOW WE WILL APPLY YOUR PAYMENTS. We will apply your payments in the following order: 1. earned but unpaid finance charge; and 2. to anything else you owe under this agreement. c. HOW LATE OR EARLY PAYMENTS CHANGE WHAT YOU MUST PAY. We based the Finance Charge, Total of Payments, and Total Sale Price as if all payments were made as scheduled. If you do not timely make all your payments in at least the correct amount, you will have to pay more Finance Charge. If that happens, your last payment will be more than your final scheduled payment, or at our option, you will have to pay more payments of the same amount as your scheduled payment with a smaller last payment. If you make scheduled payments early, your Finance Charge will be reduced (less). If you make your scheduled payments late, your Finance Charge will increase. We will send you a notice telling you about these changes before the final scheduled payment is due. d. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS. We may transfer this contract to another person. That person will then have all our rights, privileges, and remedies. e. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR BALLOON PAYMENT CONTRACTS. A balloon payment is a scheduled payment more than twice the amount of the average of your scheduled payments, other than the downpayment, that are due before the balloon payment. You can pay all you owe when the balloon payment is due and keep your vehicle. If you buy the vehicle primarily for personal, family, or household use, you can enter into a new written agreement to refinance the balloon payment when due without a refinancing fee. If you refinance the balloon payment, your periodic payments will not be larger or more often than the payments in this contract. The annual percentage rate in the new agreement will not be more than the Annual Percentage Rate in this contract. This provision does not apply if your Payment Schedule has been adjusted to your seasonal or irregular income. 2. YOUR OTHER PROMISES TO US a. USE AND TRANSFER OF THE VEHICLE. You will not sell or transfer the vehicle without our written permission. If you do sell or transfer the vehicle, this will not release you from your obligations under this contract, and we may charge you a transfer of equity fee of $25.00 ($50 for a heavy commercial vehicle). You will promptly tell us in writing if you change your address or the address where you keep the vehicle. We agree you may remove the vehicle from the U.S. for 72 hours or less, if the vehicle will continue to be covered by the insurance this contract requires. Otherwise, you agree not to remove the vehicle from the U.S. without our written permission. b. CARE OF THE VEHICLE. You agree to keep the vehicle free from all liens, and claims except those that secure this contract. You will timely pay all taxes, fines, or charges pertaining to the vehicle. You will keep the vehicle in good repair. You will not allow the vehicle to be seized or placed in jeopardy or use it illegally. You must pay all you owe even if the vehicle is lost, damaged or destroyed. If a third party takes a lien or claim against or possession of the vehicle, we may pay the third party any cost required to free the vehicle from all liens or claims. We may immediately demand that you pay us the amount paid to the third party for the vehicle. If you do not pay this amount, we may repossess the vehicle and add that amount to the amount you owe. If we do not repossess the vehicle, we may still demand that you pay us, but we cannot compute a finance charge on this amount. c. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure all that you owe on this contract and all your promises in it, you give us a security interest in: 1. The vehicle including all accessories and parts now or later attached and any other goods financed in this contract; 2. All insurance proceeds and other proceeds received for the vehicle; 3. Any insurance policy, service contract or other contract financed by us and any proceeds of those contracts; and 4. Any refunds of charges included in this contract for insurance, or service contracts. This security interest also secures any extension or modification of this contract. The certificate of title must show our security interest in the vehicle. You will not allow any other security interest to be placed on the title without our written permission. d. AGREEMENT TO KEEP VEHICLE INSURED. You agree to have physical damage insurance covering loss or damage to the vehicle for the term of this contract. The insurance must cover our interest in the vehicle. The insurer must be authorized to do business in Texas. e. OUR RIGHT TO PURCHASE REQUIRED INSURANCE IF YOU FAIL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE INSURED. If you fail to give us proof that you have insurance, we may buy physical damage insurance. We may buy insurance that covers your interest and our interest in the vehicle, or we may buy insurance that covers our interest only. You will pay the premium for the insurance and a finance charge at the contract rate. If we obtain collateral protection insurance, we will mail notice to your last known address shown in our file. f. PHYSICAL DAMAGE INSURANCE PROCEEDS. You must use physical damage insurance proceeds to repair the vehicle, unless we agree otherwise in writing. However, if the vehicle is a total loss, you must use the insurance proceeds to pay what you owe us. You agree that we can use any proceeds from insurance to repair the vehicle, or we may reduce what you owe under this contract. If we apply insurance proceeds to the amount you owe, they will be applied to your payments in the reverse order of when they are due. If your insurance on the vehicle or credit insurance doesn’t pay all you owe, you must pay what is still owed. Once all amounts owed under this contract are paid, any remaining proceeds will be paid to you. g. RETURNED INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND SERVICE CONTRACT CHARGES. If we get a refund on insurance or service contracts, or other contracts included in the cash price, we will subtract it from what you owe. Once all amounts owed under this contract are paid, any remaining refunds will be paid to you. h. APPLICATION OF CREDITS. Any credit that reduces your debt will apply to your payments in the reverse order of when they are due, unless we decide to apply it to another part of your debt. The amount of the credit and all finance charge or interest on the credit will be applied to your payments in the reverse order of your payments. 3. IF YOU PAY LATE OR BREAK YOUR OTHER PROMISES a. LATE CHARGE. You will pay us a late charge as agreed to in this contract when it accrues. b. DEFAULT. You will be in default if: 1. You do not pay any amount when it is due; 2. You give false, incomplete, or misleading information during credit application; 3. You file bankruptcy, bankruptcy is filed against you, or the vehicle becomes involved in a bankruptcy. 4. You allow a judgment to be entered against you or the collateral; or 5. You break any of your promises in this agreement. If you default, we can exercise our rights under this contract and our other rights under the law. c. OUR RIGHT TO DEMAND PAYMENT IN FULL. If you default, or we believe in good faith that you are not going to keep any of your promises, we can demand that you immediately pay all that you owe. We don’t have to give you notice that we are demanding or intend to demand immediate payment of all that you owe. d. REPOSSESSION. If you default, we may repossess the vehicle from you if we do so peacefully. If your vehicle has an electronic tracking device (such as GPS), you agree that we may use the device to find the vehicle. If any personal items are in the vehicle, we can store them for you and give you written notice at your last known address shown on our records within 15 days of discovering that we have your personal items. If you do not ask for these items back within 31 days from the day we mail or deliver the notice to you, we may dispose of them as applicable law allows. Any accessory, equipment, or replacement part stays with the vehicle. e. YOUR RIGHT TO REDEEM. If we take your vehicle, we will tell you how much you have to pay to get it back. If you do not pay us to get the vehicle back, we can sell it or take other action allowed by law. Your right to redeem ends when the vehicle is sold or we have entered into a contract for sale or accepted the collateral as full or partial satisfaction of a contract. 1. DISPOSITION OF THE VEHICLE. If you don't pay us to get the vehicle back, we can sell it or take other action allowed by law. If we sell the motor vehicle in a public or private sale, we will send you notice at least 10 days before we sell it. We can use the money we get from selling it to pay allowed expenses and to reduce the amount you owe. Allowed expenses are expenses we pay as a direct result of taking the vehicle, holding it, preparing it for sale, and selling it. If any money is left, we will pay it to you unless we must pay it to someone else. If the money from the sale is not enough to pay all you owe, you must pay the rest of what you owe us plus interest. If we take or sell the vehicle, you will give us the certificate of title and any other document required by state law to record transfer of title. g. COLLECTION COSTS. If we hire an attorney who is not our employee to enforce this contract, you will pay reasonable attorney's fees and court costs as the applicable law allows. You will also pay our reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with retaking, holding, and selling the vehicle as the applicable law allows. h. CANCELLATION OF OPTIONAL INSURANCE AND SERVICE CONTRACTS. This contract may contain charges for insurance or service contracts or for services included in the cash price. If you default, you agree that we can claim benefits under these contracts to the extent allowable, and terminate them to obtain refunds of unearned charges to reduce what you owe or repair the vehicle. If the vehicle is a total loss because it is damaged or stolen, we may claim benefits under these contracts and cancel them to obtain refunds of unearned charges to reduce what you owe. 4. INTEGRATION AND SEVERABILITY CLAUSE This contract contains the entire agreement between you and us relating to the sale and financing of the vehicle. If any part of this contract is not valid, all other parts stay valid. Electronic Contracting and Signature Acknowledgment. You agree that (i) this contract is an electronic contract executed by you using your electronic signature, (ii) your electronic signature signifies your intent to enter into this contract and that this contract be legally valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms to the same extent as if you had executed this contract using your written signature and (iii) the authoritative copy of this contract ("Authoritative Copy") shall be that electronic copy that resides in a document management system designated by us for the storage of authoritative copies of electronic records, which shall be deemed held by us in the ordinary course of business.

ARBITRATION PROVISION PLEASE REVIEW – IMPORTANT – AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS 1. EITHER YOU OR WE MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US DECIDED BY ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. 2. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. 3. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. Any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise (including the interpretation and scope of this Arbitration Provision, and the arbitrability of the claim or dispute), between you and us or our employees, agents, successors or assigns, which arises out of or relates to your credit application, purchase or condition of this vehicle, this contract or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this contract) shall, at your or our election, be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action. If federal law provides that a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration, this Arbitration Provision shall not apply to such claim or dispute. Any claim or dispute is to be arbitrated by a single arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a class action. You may choose the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or any other organization to conduct the arbitration subject to our approval. You may get a copy of the rules of an arbitration organization by contacting the organization or visiting its website. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in the federal district in which you reside unless the Seller-Creditor is a party to the claim or dispute, in which case the hearing will be held in the federal district where this contract was executed. We will pay your filing, administration, service or case management fee and your arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $5000, unless the law or the rules of the chosen arbitration organization require us to pay more. The amount we pay may be reimbursed in whole or in part by decision of the arbitrator if the arbitrator finds that any of your claims is frivolous under applicable law. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. If the chosen arbitration organization's rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision, then the provisions of this Arbitration Provision shall control. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any award by the arbitrator shall be in writing and will be final and binding on all parties, subject to any limited right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. You and we retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither you nor we waive the right to arbitrate by using self-help remedies, such as repossession, or by filing an action to recover the vehicle, to recover a deficiency balance, or for individual injunctive relief. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. This Arbitration Provision shall survive any termination, payoff or transfer of this contract. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall be unenforceable.
