The Assignee shall then pay and discharge in full, to the extent that funds are available in the estate after payment of administrative expenses, costs and disbursements, all of the debts and liabilities now due from the Assignor, including interest on such debts and liabilities. If funds of the estate shall not be sufficient to pay such debts and liabilities in full, then the Assignee shall pay from funds of the estate such debts and liabilities, on a pro rata basis and in proportion to their priority as set forth in Florida Statutes, § 727.114.

If all debts and liabilities are paid in full, any funds of the estate remaining shall be returned to the Assignor.

To accomplish the purpose of this Assignment, the Assignor hereby appoints the Assignee its true and lawful attorney, irrevocable, with full power and authority to do all acts and things which may be necessary to execute the Assignment hereby created; to demand and recover from all persons all assets of the estate; to sue for the recovery of such assets; to execute, acknowledge, and deliver all necessary deeds, instruments, and conveyances; and to appoint one or more attorneys under him to assist him in carrying out his duties hereunder.

The Assignor hereby authorizes the Assignee to sign the name of the Assignor to any check, draft, promissory note, or other instrument in writing that is payable to the order of the Assignor, or to sign the name of the Assignor to any instrument in writing, whenever it shall be necessary to do so, to carry out the purpose this Assignment.
