and<Sec. for the first thirty fifteen months thereafter such right of redemption is exclusive.

Any___. real property redeemed by the debtor shall thereafter be free and clear from any liability for any unpaid portion of the judgment under which the real property was sold.

The right of redemption established by this paragraph is not subject to waiver by the mortgagor and the period of redemption established by this paragraph shall not be reduced.

The times for redemption by creditors provided in sections 628.5, 628.15, and 628.16 shall be extended to thirty-three sixteen months in any case in which the mortgagor’s period for redemption is extended by this paragraph.

This paragraph does not apply to foreclosure of a mortgage if for any reason House File 2234, p.

2 other than enforcement of a due-on-sale clause.

As used in this paragraph, “due-on-sale clause” means any type of covenant which gives the mortgagee the right to demand payment of the outstanding balance or a major part thereof upon a transfer by the mortgagor to a third party of an interest of the mortgagor in property covered by the mortgage.

This paragraph applies to any foreclosure occurring on or after May 10, 1980.

However, this paragraph does not apply if the lender establishes, based on reasonable criteria which are not more restrictive than those used to evaluate new mortgage-loan applications, that the security interest or the likelihood of repayment is impaired as a result of the transfer of interest.

Sec.

2.

However, in the event that the judgment or the right to collect thereon is sold or otherwise assigned for value to a third party other than a state or federally chartered bank or credit union, such judgment shall be null and void, all liens shall be extinguished, and no execution shall be issued after the expiration of two years from the date of entry of the judgment, exclusive of any time during which execution on the judgment was stayed pending a bankruptcy action or order of court.court.>> 2.
