In addition to principle and interest calculated as stated, upon satisfaction of the Purchaser's interest hereunder (including but not limited to prepayment by the Vendee, default by the Vendee, or buyout by the Seller) the Purchaser shall also be entitled to receive reimbursement for any and all expenses which the Purchaser may have incurred as a result of acquiring and holding the subject Installment Contract, including but not limited to: advances on superior liens and encumbrances, costs, disbursements, title fees, appraisal fees, attorney fees, taxes, insurance premiums, repairs, maintenance expenses, foreclosure costs and real estate commissions, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date said expenses were incurred, EXCEPT that if Purchaser's interest hereunder is satisfied in full after one year from the date hereof, reimbursement for expenses and interest thereon shall not include acquisition costs (which shall be deemed to be costs incurred prior to the actual date of closing hereof), but rather shall only include any and all costs of holding said Installment Contract (which shall be deemed to be costs incurred after the actual date of closing hereof). All of the above-mentioned sums to which the Purchaser is entitled, including the original net sum and interest thereon less any payments received by the Purchaser from the Payor, and including expenses and interest thereon to which the Purchaser shall be entitled in accordance with this paragraph, shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Purchaser's Entitlement." The Seller's liability for the Purchaser's Entitlement shall be limited to the Seller's residual interest in the Installment Contract.

 

                        (b) Seller's Retained Interest. Seller shall retain ownership of the entire remaining portion of the Installment Contract; however, Seller's interest in the Installment Contract shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the Purchaser's Entitlement under this Agreement. After the Purchaser receives the Purchaser's Entitlement in full, the interest of the Purchaser in the Installment Contract shall cease, and the Seller shall thereupon become immediately vested with the complete ownership of the residual portions of the Installment Contract. Upon receipt of the Purchaser's Entitlement in full, whether in accordance with the terms of the Installment Contract, because of prepayment, or because of default, the Purchaser agrees to execute any reasonably required assignment instruments back to the order of the Seller (as may be required to effect full ownership of the residual portion of the Installment Contract by the Seller) and to advise the payor(s) to make any and all future payments to Seller.

 

                        (c) Servicing of Installment Contract. The Purchaser agrees to service the Installment Contract during the said time period only, and to exert reasonable collection efforts to ensure that the payor makes timely payments due under said Installment Contract.

 

           

                        (d) Prepayment. If for any reason the Installment Contract be paid in full prior to the full maturity of the Purchaser's Entitlement, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain out of such funds received, the full amount of the Purchaser's Entitlement with proper credit given against such amount for any previous payments made by the Payor, with the Purchaser tendering to the Seller any proceeds over and above the amount due to the Purchaser.

 

                        (e) Partial Prepayment. Should the Payor make a partial prepayment on the Installment Contract, the partial prepayment shall also be applied as specified in the preceding paragraph.

 

                        (f) Attorney-in-Fact. The Seller does hereby designate Purchaser as its agent and attorney-in-fact for collection of monies to the Seller in connection with a full or partial payoff of the Installment Contract.

 

                        (g) Right to encumber or reassign. Purchaser agrees not to encumber, pledge, hypothecate or assign the Installment Contract during the period it administers same, except to the extent of Purchaser's partial interest hereunder.

                        Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time by paying to the Purchaser the Purchaser's Entitlement in full in accordance with paragraphs (2a) and (2d) hereof.

 

                        Provided that the Seller does not elect to exercise the Seller's right to buyout the Purchaser, the Purchaser may terminate any residual interest that the Seller may have in the Installment Contract, notwithstanding any term or provision to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time sixty (60) days after a default has occurred on the Security Instrument, by paying to Seller the amount then owed on the Installment Contract less the Purchaser's Entitlement.
