The Accountant shall be requested to render its determination and report to Buyers and the Seller in writing specifying the reasons for its determination in reasonable detail as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) calendar days, after the referral of the CIT Bank Buyer Objection to the Accountant.

The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Buyers notify Seller in writing that Buyers object to one or more items reflected in the Allocation

Schedule no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date that is sixty (60) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Buyers. In the event of any such objection, Seller and Buyers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyers are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within ten (10) days after the receipt by Seller of Buyers’ objections, such dispute shall be resolved by the Accountant. The Accountant shall be requested by the parties to render a decision within ten (10) days after receipt of notification of the dispute and such decision will be final and binding on each of the parties. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyers.

Any material Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall be submitted to Buyers by Seller at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return (taking valid extensions into account). Buyers will pay to Seller, within two (2) Business Days after the filing of any such Tax Return by Seller, an amount equal to the portion of the Straddle Period Taxes reflected on such Tax Return for which Buyers are liable under this Section 6.11. For the avoidance of doubt, Straddle Period Taxes do not include any Taxes owed by an Obligor with respect to real property securing any Transferred Loan.

Section 6.12 Acknowledgements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement (as qualified by the related portions of the Seller Disclosure Schedule), no Seller or any other Person has made or makes any other express or implied representation or warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of Seller, including any representation or warranty as to Seller, the CIT Bank Purchased Assets, the CIT Bank Assumed Liabilities, this Agreement, the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the CIT Bank Purchased Assets and the CIT Bank Assumed Liabilities furnished or made available to Buyers and their Representatives (including the Confidential Information Memorandum and any information, documents or material delivered to Buyers, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby) or as to the future revenue or profitability of the CIT Bank Purchased Assets, or any representation or warranty arising from statute or otherwise in law.

Section 6.13 [Reserved].

Section 6.14 Servicing.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Servicing After the Closing Date. All Transferred Loans will be sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Buyers on a Servicing-Released Basis. As of 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on the Closing Date (the “Servicing Transfer Time”), all rights, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities with respect to the Servicing and administration of such Transferred Loans will pass to Buyers, and Seller will be discharged and released from all obligations, liability or responsibility with respect to such Servicing from and after such Servicing Transfer Time. As of the Servicing Transfer Time, Buyers will be solely responsible and liable for compliance with all applicable Laws, rules and regulations governing the ownership, Servicing or administration of the Transferred Loans for the period from and after the Servicing Transfer Time, including, without limitation, the obligation (if any) to notify any Obligor or any other party thereto of the transfer of the servicing rights from Seller (as Seller or Servicer) to the Applicable Buyer. If requested by Buyers, Seller will participate in a notice of transfer of service that is drafted by Buyers and directed to the Obligors and that is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

Section 6.15 Exclusivity.

(a) Seller agrees that between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that none of its controlled Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall:

(i) sell any of the CIT Bank Purchased Assets (other than pursuant to this Agreement) or solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of all or any material portion of the CIT Bank Purchased Assets, whether effected by sale of assets, sale of stock, merger, exclusive license, or otherwise; provided, however, that Buyers acknowledge and agree that any actions taken by Seller in connection with Servicing and/or resolution or settlement of a Transferred Loan shall not be prohibited by this Section 6.15(a), provided such actions are in compliance with Section 6.01; or

(ii) participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of the foregoing. Seller immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) The Seller shall notify the Buyers promptly, but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, orally and in writing if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made. Any such notice to the Buyers shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact. Seller shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality agreement relating to the CIT Bank Purchased Assets to which Seller is a party, without the prior written consent of the Buyers.

Section 6.16 [Reserved].

Section 6.17 Deliverables. Following the Closing, Seller agrees to deliver to Buyers all letters requested by the Buyers with respect to substitution of plaintiffs in connection with judicial foreclosure proceedings in process on the Closing Date relating to the Transferred Interests transferred to Buyers on the Closing Date, in each case within three (3) Business Days after any such request by Buyers.

Section 6.18 Consents to Assignment.

(a) With respect to each Transferred Interest, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or cause to be obtained, prior to the Closing Date, any consents required under any Transferred Loan Document or relating to any Transferred Interest in order to assign such Transferred Interest to the Applicable Buyer (all such required consents with respect to any Transferred Interest, “Required Consents”); provided, however, that nothing

in this Agreement shall require Seller to (i) pay any consent, amendment or other fees, expenses or charges to the Person from whom such consent is sought (each a “Consenting Person”), or (ii) take any action to obtain the consent of any such Consenting Person to any collateral assignment of any Transferred Interest (or underlying Transferred Loan) to any financing source of Buyers (other than, at Buyers’ request, including a request for such collateral assignment in the consent to assign the related Transferred Interest from the Seller to the Applicable Buyer).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, as of the date on which all other conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII hereof and in Article VII of the CIT Group Agreement have been satisfied (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), all Required Consents with respect to one or more Transferred Participated Interests have not been obtained, any such Transferred Participated Interests shall be deemed excluded from the CIT Bank Purchased Assets for all purposes of this Agreement and the CIT Bank Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Unpaid Principal Balance of each such Transferred Participated Interest multiplied by the CIT Bank Bid Percentage related to such Transferred Participated Interest.

Section 6.19 [Reserved].

Section 6.20 Information Services. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Buyers shall provide, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Cortland, as applicable, to provide, to Seller and its Affiliates, as soon as reasonably practicable following any request from Seller, reasonable access, during normal business hours and at no additional incremental expense to Buyers, to any books, records, data and other documents transferred to any Buyer or its Affiliates or Cortland or any lender or custodian of Buyers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement or after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, and Buyers shall provide, and cause their respective Affiliates and Cortland, as applicable, to provide, reasonable assistance to Seller and its Affiliates in reference to such books and records. From and after the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, Buyers shall provide, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Cortland, as applicable, to provide, to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable following any written request from Seller, all information, data, documentation and materials in the possession of Buyers, Cortland or any of their Affiliates directly related to the CIT Bank Purchased Assets, the CIT Bank Assumed Liabilities or any of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably requested by Seller in connection with any request from the SBA or any other Governmental Authority or as necessary in connection with any reporting or disclosure obligations of Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities Act of 1933, any federal or state Tax Laws or any other Law or request of any Governmental Authority. In addition, for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, Buyers shall furnish, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Cortland to furnish, without expense to Seller and its Affiliates (other than reimbursement by Seller of out-of-pocket expenses of Buyers as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.20), management or other employees (or consultants) of Buyers or Cortland or their respective Affiliates, in each case with appropriate knowledge and experience, as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any claim by any Governmental Authority (not otherwise covered by Article VIII of the CIT Group Agreement) relating to the CIT Bank Purchased Assets or the CIT Bank Assumed Liabilities, provided that such assistance by employees of Buyers and their respective Affiliates and

Cortland does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Buyer, such Affiliates or Cortland. Seller shall reimburse Buyers for any material out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyers in connection with providing any information or assistance to Seller pursuant to this Section 6.20.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

Each Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 4, which remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for such breach or threatened breach by a Receiving Party, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to such Disclosing Party at law or in equity or otherwise.

(e) Upon the request by a Disclosing Party, each Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and copies thereof.

The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement or judgment without the consent of the Indemnifying Party unless (a) such judgment or settlement does not impose any financial or other obligation on any Indemnified Party which is not the subject of indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, (b) such judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to each applicable Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of

Exhibit C-7

such Third Party Claim, and (c) such judgment or settlement does not result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law by any applicable Indemnified Party.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Licensee hereunder may not be assigned, sublicensed, delegated or otherwise transferred by such Licensee in whole or in part without the prior written consent of CIT; provided, however, that any Licensee may, without the prior written consent of CIT, assign or sublicense this Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such Licensee or in connection with a merger or sale of all of such Licensee’s stock or a sale of substantially all of such Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ assets relating to the Small Business Loan Industry provided that such assignee, sublicensee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Licensee provides a copy of such agreement to CIT. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to limit CIT’s right to sell or assign the Software Programs, in whole or in part, subject to the License and the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors, administrators and permitted assigns.

(b) Effect of Assignment or Sublicense. Notwithstanding any assignment by any Party of this Agreement (in whole or in part) to a Person, any sublicense or transfer by any Party of the Software Programs (in whole or in part) to a Person or any authorization of any Licensee in favor of a Person to Exploit the Software (in whole or in part), such assigning, sublicensing, transferring or authorizing Party shall remain liable for any act or omission of any assignee, sublicensee or transferee of this Agreement or the Software Programs, or for any act or omission of any other Person that Exploits the Software pursuant to any authorization or permission provided by any Licensee, to the same extent such Party would be liable under this Agreement had the act or omission of any such assignee, sublicensee, transferee or other Person been the act or omission of such assigning, sublicensing, transferring or authorizing Party itself; provided, however, that if a Licensee is such assigning, sublicensing, transferring or authorizing Party, the Buyers shall remain liable for any act or omission of such Licensee to the same extent as the Buyers would be liable under this Agreement had the act or omission of any such Licensee been the act or omission of the Buyers themselves.

(c) Amendments, Supplements, Etc. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all Parties hereto. Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No delay or omission on the part of a Party in exercising its rights under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, that right or any other right or remedy on a future occasion.

(d) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents and other communications hereunder among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed given: (i) upon personal delivery; (ii) three (3) Business Days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; (iii) one (1) Business Day after being sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (iv) upon receipt of electronic or

(g) Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement (including fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other professionals) shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses.

Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating hereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in subsection (d) above, shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any such court.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
