The APA is the product of the Approved Amount, multiplied by .95 (95% / ninety five percent) stated as the “convenience fee” and representing purchase price paid to the Vendor by MVSI. Upon such payment, full rights of ownership of the Accounts Payable (Invoice) are immediately transferred to MVSI and may be assigned, pledged or disposed of in any manner allowable by law.
