Buyer shall immediately after such payment by Seller reimburse Seller for the amount of such payment plus a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount so paid plus all costs and attorney fees incurred by Seller in connection with making such payment.

ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO BE PAID BY SELLER ARE INCLUDED IN ADDENDUM

(b)EQUITY OF SELLER PAID IN FULL. If the balance owed the Seller on the purchase price herein becomes equal to the balance owed on prior encumbrances being paid by Seller, Buyer will be deemed to have assumed said encumbrances as of that date. Buyer shall thereafter make payments directly to the holders of said encumbrances and make no further payments to Seller. Seller shall at that time deliver to Buyer a fulfillment deed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8.

(c)FAILURE OF SELLER TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON PRIOR ENCUMBRANCES. If Seller fails to make any payments on any prior encumbrance, Buyer may give written notice to Seller that unless Seller makes the delinquent payments within 15 days, Buyer will make the payments together with any late charge, additional interest, penalties, and costs assessed by the holder of the prior encumbrance. The 15-day period may be shortened to avoid the exercise of any remedy by the holder of the prior encumbrance. Buyer may deduct the amounts so paid plus a late charge of 5% of the amount so paid and any attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the delinquency from payments next becoming due Seller on the purchase price. In the event Buyer makes such delinquent payments on three occasions, Buyer shall have the right to make all payments due thereafter directly to the holder of such prior encumbrance and deduct the then balance owing on such prior encumbrance from the then balance owing on the purchase price and reduce periodic payments on the balance due Seller by the payments called for in such prior encumbrance as such payments become due.

9.LATE CHARGES. If any payment on the purchase price is not made within ten (10) days after the date it is due, Buyer agrees to pay a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of such payment. Such late payment charge shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Seller and the first amounts received from Buyer after such late charges are due shall be applied to the late charges.

10.NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON PRIOR ENCUMBRANCES. Seller warrants that entry into this Contract will not cause in any prior encumbrance (a) a breach, (b) accelerated payments, or (c) an increased interest rate; unless (a), (b), or (c) has been consented to by Buyer in writing.

11.POSSESSION. Buyer is entitled to possession of the property from and after the date of this Contract or

12.TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, AND UTILITY LIENS. Buyer agrees to pay by the date due all taxes and assessments becoming a lien against the property after the date of this Contract. Buyer may in good faith contest any such taxes or assessments so long as no forfeiture or sale of the property is threatened as the result of such contest.

Buyer may within 30 days after loss negotiate a contract to substantially restore the premises to their condition before the loss. If insurance proceeds are sufficient to pay the contract price for restoration or if the Buyer deposits in escrow any deficiency with instructions to apply the funds on the restoration contract, the property shall be restored unless the underlying encumbrances provide otherwise. Otherwise the amount collected under any insurance policy shall be applied upon any amounts due hereunder in such order as Seller shall determine. In the event of forfeiture, all rights of Buyer in insurance policies then in force shall pass to Seller.

14.NONPAYMENT OF TAXES, INSURANCE, AND UTILITIES CONSTITUTING LIENS. If Buyer fails to pay taxes or assessments, insurance premiums, or utility charges constituting liens prior to Seller's interest under this Contract, Seller may pay such items and Buyer shall forthwith pay Seller the amount thereof plus a late charge of 5% of the amount thereof plus any costs and attorney's fees incurred in connection with making such payment.

15.CONDITION OF PROPERTY. Buyer accepts the property in its present condition and acknowledges that Seller, his/her agents, and subagents have made no representation or warranty concerning the physical condition of the property or the uses to which it may be put other than as set forth herein.

If the condemnation proceeds are sufficient to pay the contract price for restoration or if the Buyer deposits in escrow any deficiency with instructions to apply the funds on the restoration contract, the property shall be restored unless underlying encumbrances provide otherwise. Otherwise, proceeds of the award shall be applied in payment of the balance due on the purchase price, as Seller may direct.
