ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
A. Payments and Summary Notice: You must make all pay-
ments in U.S. funds when they are due. You may prepay your
debt at any time without penalty. This is a simple interest 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 theh 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. If the vehicle is repos-
sessed, you will not have the right to reinstate the contract unless
the Seller agrees.
B. Balloon Payment Contracts: If your last installment payment
under this contract is a balloon payment as indicated on the front
of the contract, you may handle the last installment payment in
one of three ways.
First, you may pay all that you owe when the last installment
payment is due and keep your motor vehicle.
Second, you may refinance the last Installment payment unless
you are in default under this contract. If the Seller has advanced
funds to cure any default, you must pay back the Seller before
the refinancing. You also must provide proof of insurance accept-
able to Seller before the refinancing. The Annual Percentage Rate
(APR) for the refinancing will be the lower of the APR agreed to
by you and the Seiler at the time of the refinancing or the
maximum rate permitted by law. The term of the refinancing will
be based on the amount refinanced, the rate, and the amount of
the monthly payment. The refinanced monthly payment shall be
the same as in this contract If the refinanced amount will be fully
paid within 36 months of the due date of the last installment
payment. Otherwise, the monthly payment amount shall be the
amount needed to fully pay the refinanced amount within 36
months of the due date of the last installment payment. It you
wish to refinance, you must notify the Seller in writing. Except as
discussed in this section, the notice must be received no later
than 30 days prior to the due date of the last installment payment.
Third, you may sell the vehicle to the Seller for an amount equal
to the last installment payment. You must pay to the Seller any
other amount owed under this contract. Amounts you owe will be
based, in part, on the vehicle's mileage. You also must pay to
the Seller the estimated costs of all repairs to the vehicle that are
the result of excess wear and use, as set forth below. You must
take the vehicle to a place selected by the Seller for inspection
no later than 15 days prior to the last installment payment due
date. After the inspection, if you decide to sell the vehicle to the
Seller, you must give the vehicle to the Seller no later than the
last installment payment due date. At that time, you must also
give the Seller a title, which shows no Hens other than the Seller's
lien, transferring ownership to the Seller or a person selected by
the Seller. After the inspection, If you decide not to sell vehicle
to the Seller, you must immediately contact the Seller and inform
the Seller whether you want to .refinance the last installment
payment.
C. Damage Repair: If your last installment payment under this
contract is a balloon payment and you sell the vehicle back to
the'Seller under Paragraph B, you are responsible for repairs of
all damage to the vehicle that are not the result of normal wear
and use. These repairs include, but are not limited to, those
necessary to:

wom areas; and all damage which would be covered by

repairs, even if the repairs are not made prior to your sale of the
vehicle to the Seller. If you disagree with the estimated costs of
