STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO LIFT STAY FILED BY WELLS FARGO FINANCIAL MARYLAND, INC.
Gilma Galeano, the debtor herein, by and through her attorney, Steven M. Assaraf and Wells Fargo Financial Maryland, Inc. ("Wells Fargo"), by and through its attorney, Merrill Cohen, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
1. The automatic stay provisions set forth in 11 U.S.C. 362(a) is hereby deemed lifted to permit Wells Fargo to enforce its security interests to repossess and dispose of, if necessary, the debtor's 2002 Ford Explorer, S.N. 1FMZU73E32UC59472 (the "subject vehicle").
2. Wells Fargo agrees not to enforce its rights under its security interest and agrees to stay execution of this order provided that the debtor shall pay to Wells Fargo, on or before February 19, 2011, the regular monthly payment in the amount of $385.89 and the debtor shall continue to make the regular monthly payments of $385.89 on the 19th day of each subsequent month until all post-petition payments on the subject vehicle are made.
3. In the event that the debtor defaults in making any payments as set forth herein, or default in any other provision of her retail installment sales contract with Wells Fargo for the purchase of the subject vehicle, including, but not limited to, the provision requiring the debtor to maintain insurance on the vehicle naming Wells Fargo as loss payee, Wells Fargo shall provide to the debtor, and her counsel, written notice of breach of this stipulation. Such written notice shall specify the nature of the breach.
4. That ten (10) days following the mailing of such written notice to the debtor and her counsel that the debtor has defaulted under the terms of this Stipulation and Order, and unless such default has been cured by the debtor within such ten (10) day period, Wells Fargo shall be entitled to repossess and dispose of, pursuant to applicable law, the subject vehicle, without further notice, hearing, or order of Court.
5. In the event that the debtor defaults under the terms of this Stipulation and fail to cure such default pursuant to paragraph four (4) herein, the debtor agrees to immediately surrender the subject vehicle to Wells Fargo.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the terms of the copy of the consent order submitted to the Court are identical to those set forth in the original consent order; and the signatures represented by /s/_____ on this copy reference the signatures of consenting parties on the original consent order.
