The Independent Auditor shall have up to 30 days after its appointment to resolve any disputes that are submitted to such Independent Auditor. The Final Closing Date Statement, either as agreed to by Buyer and Seller or as adjusted by the Independent Auditor pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer. If the Purchase Price as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement (“Final Purchase Price”) is less than the Purchase Price as estimated in the Preliminary Closing Date Statement and paid on the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the amount by which the Closing Date Payment Amount exceeds the Final Purchase Price, plus interest at an annual rate equal to 2.00%, calculated on a daily basis from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment. If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Date Payment Amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Date Payment Amount, plus interest at an annual rate equal to 2.00%, calculated on a daily basis from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment.

Post Closing Adjustments to the Loan Portfolio. Within six (6) months after the Closing Date, but in no event after such time, Buyer shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a written list of any loans acquired on the Closing Date that Buyer believes should have been excluded from the Loan Portfolio as Excluded Loans under Section 2.1.2(a)-(q) of this Agreement, together with a reference to the specific provisions of Section 2.1.2(a)-(q) under which Buyer believes each such loans should have been excluded from the Loan Portfolio (such list and reference, the “Adjustment Schedule”).

Other than as set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Portfolio to be sold to Buyer hereunder shall be sold without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or any responsibility or liability whatsoever, and all such assignments and other transfer documentation shall contain a provision to that effect. To the extent that there is a conflict between the terms of any assignment or other agreement, instrument or documents delivered pursuant to this Article 2 and the terms of this Section 2.4.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, the terms of this

Section 2.4.2 and the other provisions of this Agreement shall control and prevail among the Parties.

2.4.3

Should any assignments in addition to those delivered pursuant to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 above be required by applicable law, Buyer shall prepare and submit such additional assignments to Seller for execution within six (6) months after the Closing Date.

In the event that Seller does not have, or is unable to locate, the original promissory note(s), if any, with respect to any loan, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date, for each such missing original promissory note, either (a) the lost note affidavit or equivalent received by Seller from the transferor with respect thereto, or (b) a separate lost note affidavit prepared and executed by Seller (in such form as Seller may reasonably deem appropriate, including a statement to the effect that that Seller has been unable to locate, after the exercise of reasonable diligence, the applicable original promissory note, and without any further representation or recourse to Seller), and, in each case, Seller shall have no further obligation or liability with respect to

such missing promissory note; provided, however, that the principal amount of such missing original promissory notes (including promissory notes for loans originated between the date hereof and the Closing Date) for which Seller delivers to Buyer the items described in (a) and (b) above shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $500,000.

2.4.5

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to retain one (1) copy of the Loan Files for its records, which shall, following Closing, be considered confidential information of Buyer and subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Seller shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine and assign the personnel necessary to perform such acts. Buyer shall also reimburse Seller for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller in connection with such assigned litigation or proceedings and with any litigation or proceedings relating to the Acquired Loans arising after the Closing Date.

The Parties intend that each conveyance hereunder be a sale of the Acquired Loans from Seller to Buyer, free and clear of all security interest, liens (other than liens not yet due or payable) or other encumbrances or adverse claims, for accounting, regulatory tax and other purposes and not a financing secured by such property; and the beneficial interest in and title to the Acquired Loans shall not be a part of Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Seller under any bankruptcy law. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of Seller and Buyer, under the Uniform Commercial Code, any bankruptcy law or other applicable law, this transaction is deemed to be a financing arrangement, or it is otherwise determined that any conveyance hereunder is for any reason not considered a sale and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Acquired Loans and such Acquired Loans remain part of Seller's estate, the Parties intend that with respect to any such Acquired Loans, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) under the Uniform Commercial Code, and Seller hereby grants to Buyer on the terms and conditions of this Agreement a first priority perfected security interest in and against all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Loans, and other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, now existing and hereafter acquired.

Buyer agrees that it will not take any notes from the inspection room that would reveal the name, address, telephone number or any other proprietary information concerning the identity of the borrower or guarantor of the loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of Seller or contravene any legal requirement or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof.

Elk’s portion of any principal received from routine monthly payments paid prior to any default by the Borrower shall also be remitted to Elk.

Priority of Payments

(a)

(i) Payments received by MFC from Borrower with respect to the Loan, prior to a default by the Borrower and prior to MFC taking possession of any collateral pertaining to the Loan, shall be divided by MFC on a pro-rata basis pursuant to the respective Participation Ratios heretofore set forth herein. Such payments shall first be paid to MFC. In the event the Loan becomes delinquent, MFC shall apply payments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MFC shall first be paid all additional amounts which it has advanced where the Borrower has failed to make payments to MFC and expenses reasonably

incurred by MFC in connection with the enforcement of the Agreements and/or protection of the Collateral and the secured position therein.

(ii) Following application of payments as set forth in sub paragraph (a) (i) hereof, MFC shall remit payment to ELK representing its share of such payment(s) based upon its respective __________ per cent Participation Percentage. Again, in the event the Loan becomes delinquent, MFC shall apply payments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MFC shall first be paid all additional amounts which it has advanced to include monies previously advanced to ELK where the Borrower has failed to make payments to MFC and expenses reasonably incurred by MFC in connection with the enforcement of the Agreements and/or protection of the Collateral and the secured position therein.

(b) In the event of a default under the Loan and MFC taking possession of any Collateral pertaining to the Loan and upon subsequent resale thereof, the priority of payments shall be as follows:

First, MFC shall be paid all additional amounts

which either has advanced for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Agreements and/or protection of the Collateral and the secured position therein;

Then to the payment of the outstanding principal due to MFC on a

pro-rata basis pursuant to the Participation Percentages heretofore set forth herein;

Then to the payment of accrued interest to MFC at the face rate specified in the Promissory Note (but not any default rate of interest) on a pro-rata basis pursuant to the Participation Percentages heretofore set herein;

Then to MFC on a pro-rata basis for any late charges collected, but only to MFC’s pro-rata share of such late charges collected;

Then, the balance, if any, to ELK for its pro-rata share of principal and accrued interest on the Loan at the face rate set forth in the Promissory Note (but not any default rate of interest);

Then, the balance, if any, to Elk for its pro-rata share of any late charges;

Then, the balance, if any to MFC and ELK on a pro rata basis according to their respective Participation Percentage for all other sums for prepayment penalties, default interest, or other revenue collected arising out of the liquidation of the Collateral.

(c) ELK’s interest in the Loan, the Collateral and the Collections is in all respects junior and subordinate to that of MFC, and accordingly MFC shall, following default and repossession of the Collateral, first be repaid in full, its’ respective interests in the Loan in the priority and manner stated in Paragraph 4 (b) items 1 through 7 above, out of the Collateral and the Collections prior to any repayment of all or any part of ELK’s Investment and the interest equivalent thereon, other than as may be set forth in said Paragraph 4 (b) items 1 through 7 above, or as may otherwise be specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
