by Seller and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute and in making such determination shall select either Buyer's or Seller's determination of the disputed dollar amount with respect to each issue disputed. 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.
(b) 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”). If Seller disagrees with the Adjustment Schedule presented by Buyer hereunder or any aspect thereof, Seller may within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Adjustment Schedule (the “Repurchase Objection Period”) deliver a written notice to Buyer of such disagreement and specifying in reasonable detail Seller’s basis for disagreement (the “Repurchase Objection Statement”). If Seller does not object during the Repurchase Objection Period, the Adjustment Schedule shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Seller objects during the Repurchase Objection Period and Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such objections within 20 days after delivery by Seller of the Repurchase Objection Statement, then all disagreements shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Auditor, and resolved by such Independent Auditor, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.4(a) above. Following a final determination of the Adjustment Schedule, Seller shall be allowed an opportunity for a period of 30 (thirty) days to cure any non-conformity with respect to each subject loan, and if it is impossible to cure such non-conformity or Seller chooses not to cure or correct such non- conformity, Seller will promptly repurchase each such loan from Buyer for the Allocated Purchase Price, as adjusted based on any principal payments received, for each such loan; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to repurchase loans for which the Allocated Purchase Price, in the aggregate, would exceed $2,000,000.
2.3.5 Adjustments and Allocations With Respect to Payments on Acquired Loans.
12
(a) All payments received by Seller on account of any of the Acquired Loans prior to the Closing Date shall belong to Seller and shall be reflected in Seller’s calculation of the Preliminary Closing Date Statement. All payments received by Seller on account of any of the Acquired Loans on or after the Closing Date shall belong to Buyer, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer and shall be paid to Buyer within a reasonable time after receipt, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following receipt by Seller, with checks and other negotiable instruments being endorsed by Seller without recourse and without warranties. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller retains the right to collect on any and all checks, or other negotiable instruments, which represent payment of principal, interest, or any other fees or charges under any of the Acquired Loans, to the extent received by Seller prior to the Closing Date, credited by Seller to the applicable Obligor and not otherwise endorsed to Buyer as set forth above.
(b) In the event of the removal of any Acquired Loan prior to Closing pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by subtracting the Allocated Purchase Price for such removed Acquired Loan, and all allocations and adjustments under this Section 2.3 described above shall be made without inclusion of such removed Acquired Loan or any payments relating thereto.
2.4 Assignments and Endorsements.
2.4.1 Upon payment of the Purchase Price for the Loan Portfolio on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3, Seller shall (i) execute and deliver to Buyer a xxxx of sale, in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and (ii) deliver any notes endorsed as set forth in Section 2.4.4 below.

Buyer will accept a UCC-3 Assignment from Israel Discount Bank of New York, as Custodian under that certain agreement dated September 9, 1993 with Seller’s banks and the SBA for each Acquired Loan as proof of the assignment to Buyer of a first priority security interest in each Acquired Loan (except for those loans set forth on Schedule 3.1.8). Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation of, and payment of any costs associated with the preparation of, such assignments and other documents, and for the recording of such assignments and for payment of any costs and recording fees associated with recording such assignments or other documents, other than Transfer Taxes (which shall be paid equally by the Parties in accordance with Section 5.4.2 of this Agreement). 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
13
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. Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation of, and any costs associated with the preparation of, such additional assignments, as well as for any costs, transfer Taxes or recording or filing fees associated with the recording of such additional assignments. Any such assignments shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or any responsibility or liability whatsoever, and in a form acceptable to Seller’s counsel.
2.4.4 Seller shall endorse any note evidencing an Acquired Loan purchased hereunder as follows:
Pay to the order of __________________,
THE PAYEE AND THE UNDERSIGNED ARE PARTIES TO A CERTAIN LOAN PORTFOLIO SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 16, 2008. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH THEREIN, THIS ENDORSEMENT IS MADE WITHOUT RECOURSE, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER. ELK ASSOCIATES FUNDING CORPORATION By: Date:
If this form of endorsement does not conform to the requirements of applicable federal, state or local law, the Parties agree to modify the form of endorsement to conform to such requirements; provided that, in any event, all such endorsements shall confirm that the transfer related thereto is without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or any responsibility or liability whatsoever other than as set forth above. 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
14
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. Following the Closing, if Seller is involved in any litigation or regulatory inquiry concerning an Acquired Loan, Buyer will grant Seller reasonable access to the applicable loan file, with respect to information that occurred prior to the Closing Date.
2.5 Survival of Responsibilities. The responsibilities and agreements contained in this Article 2 shall survive the Closing.
2.6 Reimbursement for Use of Seller’s Employees. With respect to any litigation or proceedings relating to any Acquired Loans in which Seller or its employees are requested by Buyer or required by subpoena, court order or otherwise, to testify or to prepare responses to subpoenas or other legal process, pleadings or discovery to which Buyer is a party, Seller shall be reimbursed by Buyer for all reasonable associated travel, lodging and per diem costs and expenses. 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.
2.7 True Sale; Security Agreement. 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.

24
termination of his employment; and provided, further, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6.3 shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect upon the termination of Xxxx X.
