Status of Amounts Paid to Dealers

Dealer acknowledges and agree that:

Additional monthly collected funds will be forwarded to the Dealer on a monthly basis. Amounts due Dealer will be forwarded by the 10th of the month for all funds collected in the prior month.

The Administrator Cost and the Dealer Profit are earned by Administrator and Dealer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Vehicle Service Contract, but in no event shall exceed the amounts paid by the Purchaser of the Vehicle Service Contract; and

each Purchaser who enters into a Payment Plan Agreement with Whitebox has agreed in the Payment Plan Agreement to a lien being placed on the Vehicle Service Contract; and

pursuant to such lien placed on the Vehicle Service Contract, prior to any proceeds from cancellation of the Vehicle Service Contract being returned to Purchaser; all monies due back to the Purchaser of the Vehicle Service Contract under the cancellation provisions of the Vehicle Service Contract shall first be paid to Whitebox on the Account of Purchaser until such time at which the obligations due under the Payment Plan Agreement have been fully satisfied; and

Whitebox and Dealer agree that the provisions of this section are only intended to collateralize the obligations of the Purchaser to Whitebox as agreed to by the Purchaser under the terms and conditions of the Payment Plan Agreement and are not intended to create any additional liability for Dealer other than the liabilities which already exist to the Purchaser of each Vehicle Service Contract under the terms and conditions of such Vehicle Service Contract.

Cancellation

Involuntary Cancellation. If permissible by applicable law or regulations governing cancellation of vehicle service contracts or payment plan agreements, in the event a Purchaser fails to make any payment under the Payment Plan Agreement when due, pursuant to the terms of the Payment Plan Agreement, Whitebox shall send a late notice to the Purchaser. In the event Whitebox fails to receive payment, including any applicable late charges, from the Purchaser within the 10-day period following the mailing of the late notice Whitebox shall have the right, as granted by Purchaser to Whitebox under the power of attorney provisions of the Payment Plan Agreement, to cancel the related Vehicle Service Contract by sending a cancellation notice to the Purchaser, Administrator, and Dealer. In the event of any other event of default under the Payment Plan Agreement, Whitebox shall have the right to cancel the Vehicle Service Contract by sending a cancellation notice to the Purchaser, Administrator, and Dealer. Administrator agrees to cancel any Vehicle Service Contract as permitted by applicable laws upon receipt of a cancellation notice from Whitebox or Dealer.

Voluntary Cancellation.

Refund to Whitebox on Cancellation. In the event of a cancellation of a Vehicle Service Contract purchased using the Payment Plan Program, and assuming that all funds forwarded from the Administrator do not cover the total outstanding owed to Whitebox, the Dealer shall pay the Refund Amount to Whitebox within 10 days following the date of cancellation of the Vehicle Service Contract. The Dealer acknowledge that, the Refund Amount is all or a portion of the refund owed by the Dealer to the Purchaser of the Vehicle Service Contract and that each such Purchaser has directed (in the applicable Payment Plan Agreement) that the Refund Amount be paid to Whitebox to pay off the balance of the Account.
