Payments: You must make all payments in U.S. funds when they are due. You may prepay your debt at any time without penalty. This is a simple finance charge contract. The actual finance charge you agree to pay will depend on your payment patterns. The actual finance charge may exceed the disclosed Finance Charge if you make your payments later than the scheduled dates or in less than the scheduled amount. Your payment will be applied first to the earned and unpaid part of the Finance Charge and then to the unpaid Amount Financed. The Finance Charge is earned by applying the Annual Percentage Rate to the unpaid Amount Financed for the actual time that the unpaid Amount Financed is outstanding. B. Balloon Payment Contracts: If your last scheduled payment under this contract is a balloon payment as indicated on Page 1 of this contract, you have three options to handle the balloon payment. First, you may pay all that you owe, and keep your motor vehicle. Second, you may refinance all that you owe unless you are in default under this contract. If the Creditor has advanced funds to cure any default, you must pay back the Creditor before the refinancing. You also must provide proof of insurance acceptable to Creditor before the refinancing. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the refinancing will be the lower of the APR contained in this contract or the maximum APR permitted by law. The refinanced monthly payment shall be the same as in this contract. The term of the refinancing will be based on the amount refinanced, the rate, and the amount of the monthly payment. If you wish to refinance, you must notify the Creditor in writing no later than 30 days prior to the balloon payment due date. Third, you may transfer ownership of the vehicle to the Creditor, and an amount equal to your originally scheduled balloon payment will be applied toward the satisfaction of all that you owe. Creditor will add a $475 Disposal Fee to the amount that you owe and, if applicable, will add any excess mileage charges (as described on Page 1 of this contract) and any estimated costs of vehicle repairs that are the result of excess wear and use (as described in Paragraph C). If the amount of your originally scheduled balloon payment does not satisfy all that you owe, you will pay the difference. You must take the vehicle to a place selected by the Creditor for inspection no later than 15 days prior to the balloon payment due date. After the inspection, if you decide to transfer ownership of the vehicle to the Creditor, you must give the vehicle to the Creditor no later than the balloon payment due date. At that time, you must provide the Creditor a title, which shows no liens other than the Creditor's lien, transferring ownership to the Creditor or a person selected by the Creditor. You must also provide other documents as needed. If you decide not to transfer ownership of the vehicle after inspection, you must immediately inform the Creditor if you want to refinance under the second option above. C. Damage Repair: If your last scheduled payment under this contract is a balloon payment and you transfer ownership of the vehicle to the Creditor under Paragraph B, you are responsible for all repairs to the vehicle that are not the result of normal wear and use. These repairs include, but are not limited to those necessary to repair or replace: (a) tires that have sidewall damage/plugs, exposed cords/belts, or are unmatched for vehicle or unsafe; (b) electrical or mechanical defects or malfunctions; (c) glass, paint, body panels, trim and grill work that are broken, mismatched, chipped, scratched, pitted, cracked, or if applicable, dented; (d) interior rips, stains, burns or damaged areas; (e) replacement of any missing equipment or parts that were in or on the vehicle when delivered; and (f) all damage which would be covered by collision or comprehensive insurance whether or not such insurance is actually in force. Replacement of sheet metal and all other repairs must be made with Original Equipment Manufacturer parts. Your use or repair of the vehicle must not invalidate any warranty. You will owe the estimated costs of such repairs unless repairs are made at your expense prior to the transfer of ownership of the vehicle to the Creditor. You will maintain the odometer of the vehicle so that it always reflects the vehicle's actual mileage. If the odometer is at any time inoperative, you will provide reasonable evidence of the vehicle's actual mileage. If you are unable to do so, you will pay us our estimate of any reduction of the vehicle's wholesale value caused by the inability to determine the vehicle's actual mileage. D. Security Interest: You give the Creditor a security interest in: 1. The vehicle and all parts or other goods put on the vehicle; 2. All money or goods received for the vehicle; and 3. All insurance premiums and service contracts financed for you. This secures payment of all amounts you owe under this contract. It also secures your other agreements in this contract. E. Use of Vehicle - Warranties: You must take care of the vehicle and obey all laws in using it. You may not sell or rent the vehicle, and you must keep it free from the claims of others. You will not use or permit the use of the vehicle outside of the United States, except for up to 30 days in Canada or Mexico, without the prior written consent of the Creditor. If the vehicle is of a type normally used for personal use and the Creditor, or the vehicle's manufacturer, extends a written warranty or service contract covering the vehicle within 90 days from the date of this contract, you get implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose covering the vehicle. Otherwise, you understand and agree that there are no such implied warranties, except as otherwise provided by law. F. Vehicle Insurance: You must insure the vehicle against loss or damage from collision, fire or theft. You must name Creditor as the loss payee under the insurance policy. The Creditor must approve the type and amount of insurance. If the vehicle is lost, damaged or destroyed, you must pay the Creditor what is still owed. You agree that the Creditor can make a claim under the insurance policy. You authorize the insurance company to provide Creditor any information Creditor believes necessary to make a claim. You must use insurance proceeds to repair the vehicle, unless the damage to the vehicle is considered a total loss. If the damage to the vehicle is considered a total loss, you must use the insurance proceeds to pay what you owe the Creditor. If your insurance on the vehicle doesn't pay all you owe, you must pay what is still owed. G. Returned Insurance Premiums and Service Contract Charges: This contract may contain charges for insurance, service contracts, or other contracts. You agree that the Creditor can claim benefits under these contracts and unless prohibited by law, terminate them to obtain refunds of unearned charges to reduce what you owe. If the Creditor gets a refund on insurance, service contracts, or other contracts, the Creditor 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. Returned Check Charge: You agree to pay a returned check charge of $25.00 for each check, draft, or other order of payment that is dishonored for any reason. I. Default: You will be in default if: 1. You do not make a payment when it is due; or 2. You gave false or misleading information on your credit application relating to this contract; or 3. Your vehicle is seized by any local, state, or federal authority and is not promptly and unconditionally returned to you; or 4. You file a bankruptcy petition or one is filed against you; or 5. You do not keep any other promise in this contract. If you do not cure a default where allowed by law, Creditor can exercise Creditor's rights under this contract and Creditor's other rights under the law. J. Repossession: If you do not cure a default where allowed by law, the Creditor may require you to pay at once the unpaid Amount Financed, the earned and unpaid part of the Finance Charge and all other amounts due under this contract. Creditor may repossess (take back) the vehicle, too. Creditor may also take goods found in the vehicle when repossessed and hold them for you. K. Your Right to Redeem: If the vehicle is taken back, Creditor will send you a notice. The notice will say that you may redeem (buy back) the vehicle and will explain how to redeem the vehicle. You may redeem the vehicle up to the time the Creditor sells it or agrees to sell it. If you do not redeem the vehicle, it will be sold. L. Disposition of Motor Vehicle: If the vehicle is taken back and sold, the money from the sale, less allowed expenses, will be used to pay the amount still owed on the contract. Allowed expenses include those paid as a direct result of having to retake the vehicle, hold it, prepare it for sale, and sell it. Reasonable lawyer's fees not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid debt after default and legal costs are allowed, too. If there is any money left (surplus), it will be paid to you. If the money from the sale is not enough to pay off this contract and costs, you will pay what is still owed to the Creditor. If you do not pay the amount when the Creditor asks, the Creditor may charge you interest at the highest lawful rate until you pay. M. Collection Costs: Except as otherwise provided by law, you must pay any and all expenses related to enforcing this contract, including collection expenses, lawyers' fees not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid debt after default and other legal expenses. N. Consumer Reports: You authorize the Assignee to obtain consumer credit reports from consumer reporting agencies (credit bureaus) for any reason and at any time in connection with this contract. O.

You also expressly consent and agree that Creditor, Creditor's affiliates, agents and service providers may use written, electronic or verbal means to contact you. This consent includes, but is not limited to, contact by manual calling methods, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, text messages, emails and/or automatic telephone dialing systems. You agree that Creditor, Creditor's affiliates, agents and service providers may use any email address or any telephone number you provide, now or in the future, including a number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, regardless of whether you incur charges as a result. P. Applicable Law: You agree that this contract will be governed by the laws of the state of Oklahoma. Q. General: This contract contains the entire agreement between Creditor and you relating to the sale and financing of the motor vehicle. If any part of this contract is not valid, all other parts stay valid. If Creditor doesn't enforce Creditor's rights every time, Creditor can still enforce them later. Creditor will exercise all of Creditor's rights in a lawful way. Buyer acknowledges and accepts assignment of this contract to the Assignee (and any successor to Assignee). Buyer also consents to any subsequent assignment of this contract, and accepts this provision as notice of any such assignment, by Assignee or anyone else without further notice to Buyer.
