counsel, because the Trustees believe it is in the best interests of their respective estates now that various accounting issues have been resolved to distribute (the Distribution) the proceeds of the short-pay transaction (the Short Pay) which the EFI Trustee entered into with the borrower (the Borrower) of the loan referenced above (the Loan). The Trustees propose to effectuate the Distribution in accordance with the attached distribution proposal summarized on Exhibit A hereto (the Distribution Proposal) and as more fully set forth below. 2. Background. a. On October 27, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the Court) entered the Procedures Order re: (1) Real Property Sales and Related Distributions and Payments, Including Brokerage Commissions; (2) Loan Payoffs and Reconveyances; (3) Related Compromises; (4) The Making of Secured Advances; and (5) Loan Collection, Administration and Enforcement, Including Foreclosures, Forbearances, and Deeds in Lieu [EFI Docket No. 271, EFMF Docket No. 126] (the Procedures Order). Pursuant to the Procedures Order, to facilitate the efforts of the Trustees to take a variety of actions in a timely and cost-effective manner with respect to loans and / or real properties in which the estates hold interests, or which were being serviced or managed by EFI, and in which various co-owners hold interests (or investors contend they hold co-ownership interests), the Court granted the Trustees authority to make distributions on account of short-pays after, inter alia, giving notice and opportunity to object. b. On March 23, 2009, the Trustees filed and served their Notice of Trustees' Proposed: (1) Acceptance of Short Pay (Lot 7/Lot 1033, Tract 1000, Woodland Hills, CA, ); (2) Reconveyance of Deeds of Trust and Payment of Related Costs; and (3) Mutual Release Agreement. Declarations of Disinterestedness (Loans B190-05 and B645-05) [EFI Docket No. 421; EFMF Docket No. 210] (the Short Pay Notice). The Short Pay Notice specifically required that any objections be filed with the Court by March 30, 2009. On April 15, 2009, the Trustees filed their Ex

Sharp accepted his appointment as chapter 11 trustee of EFMF (EFMF Trustee) and on July 30, 2008, Thomas P. Jeremiassen accepted his appointment as the chapter 11 trustee of EFI (the EFI Trustee). Thereafter, the Trustees have served as the duly qualified and acting chapter 11 trustees of their respective estates. As of the date of this notice, an official committee of investors of EFMF has been appointed (the EFMF Equity Committee), and an official committee of unsecured creditors of EFI has been appointed (the EFI Creditors Committee). An official committee of unsecured creditors has not been appointed in the EFMF Case.

Parte Motion of Trustees Pursuant to Prior Procedures Order for Order Regarding: (1) Acceptance of Short Pay (Lot 7/Lot 1033, Tract 1000, Woodland Hills, CA, ); (2) Reconveyance of Deeds of Trust and Payment of Related Costs; and (3) Mutual Release Agreement. Declarations of Disinterestedness (Loans B190-05 and B645-05) [EFI Docket No. 474; EFMF Docket No. 244] . On April 17, 2009, the Court entered an order authorizing the acceptance of the Short Pay (the Short Pay Order), and, as requested by the Trustees, providing that all proceeds from the Short Pay (except brokerage commissions and closing costs) were to be placed in a segregated account pending resolution of the disbursement of proceeds [EFI Docket No. 488; EFMF Docket No. 260]. The Short Pay has since been paid to the EFI Trustee and the EFI Trustee is holding the proceeds in accordance with the Short Pay Order. c. On April 1, 2009, the Trustees filed their Joint Motion of Chapter 11 Trustees to (1) Authorize Settlement Parameters with Investors in EFI Originated Loans and (2) Approve Settlement Agreement Between EFI and EFMF in Accordance with Settlement Parameters; Memorandum of Points and Authorities [EFI Docket No. 442; EFMF Docket No. 222] (the Settlement Motion) to, among other things, establish a framework for settlement for those investors whose investments were not properly recorded or had similar defects. On June 10, 2009 in the EFMF case, and June 11, 2009 in the EFI case, the Court entered the Order Granting Joint Motion of Chapter 11 Trustees to (1) Authorize Settlement Parameters with Investors in EFI Originated Loans and (2) Approve Settlement Agreement Between EFI and EFMF in Accordance with Settlement Parameters [EFI Docket No. 555; EFMF Docket No. 305] (the Settlement Order) which approved, among other things, the settlement parameters (the Settlement Parameters) contained in the Settlement Motion. 3.

persons who provided funds for the loans arranged by EFI with respect to the Property (or their assignee(s)) (Subject Investors) shall be applicable regardless of how such Subject Investors characterize their position, e.g., whether as creditor, secured creditor, tenant in common or co-owner, and regardless of whether the Subject Investor has filed a proof of claim with respect to such claim or interest.

a.

The Trustees propose to make distributions to, or segregate amounts for, the

Subject Investors as set forth on Exhibit A-3 and summarized on Exhibit A-1. Any proposed distributions to Subject Investors may be subject to the particular Subject Investor consenting thereto and executing certain documents as set forth in a separate letter being sent to the Subject Investors by the Trustees. b. Whenever a Proposed Unsecured Claim is listed for an investor on Exhibit

A-1, that investor faces an issue addressed in the Settlement Motion and therefore cannot receive a current distribution absent settlement with the EFI Trustee. When such Proposed Unsecured Claim is listed, that means for affected investors who enter into a settlement agreement with the EFI Trustee, the EFI Trustee (1) will distribute the proceeds to the affected investors in accordance with Exhibit A-3 and summarized on Exhibit A-1; and (2) will allow a claim in accordance with the Settlement Parameters as specified on Exhibit A-3 and summarized on Exhibit A-1. i. For affected investors, the Proposed Settlement/Treatment Summary (Exhibit A-1) provides a summary of what each affected investor will receive if they settle with the EFI Trustee. Each proposed distribution to an affected investor is subject to that investor consenting to the Settlement Parameters and executing certain documents as set forth in a separate letter being sent to the Subject Investors by the Trustees. ii. If an affected investor does not consent to the Settlement Parameters and execute the necessary documents, the EFI Trustee will hold the amount listed in the Allocation of Net Proceeds column by that investors name on Exhibit A-3 in an account segregated for accounting purposes for such investor. Money so held hereafter may be released upon subsequent settlement within the Settlement Parameters or by obtaining further approval of the Court. 4. Distributions for Advances, Etc.. As provided in the Procedures Order, the

13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

Distribution Proposal includes payment to EFI for advances, fees and other miscellaneous items. Recoupment for these items is provided for in the Procedures Order due in part to the provisions of

DOCS_LA:195981.2

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
P ACH U LSKI S TAN G Z I E H L & J O N E S LLP

the Loan Servicing Agreement (LSA) executed by each investor and due in part to the common benefit afforded by such expenditures. The Trustees are requiring recoupment of advances and these other miscellaneous items to ensure fairness to, and an opportunity for recovery for, creditors of EFI (which creditors include EFMF and its investors). a. As already set forth by the Trustees in the Procedures Motion, advances were permitted under the LSA for costs and expenses as [EFI] may reasonably determine are necessary to protect the [investors] interest in and to enforce the [investors] rights under the Loan Documents and, if necessary, to manage, refinance or sell the Property and may include, without limitation, the costs and expenses of engaging attorneys, accountants and other third parties. Also, under the LSA, advances are subject to repayment with interest at the maximum legal rate and EFI is entitled to an annual one percent servicing fee. Thus, for each loan, the Trustees propose to receive as advances a fixed amount or percentage payment to contribute towards the postpetition costs of attorneys, accountants and other third parties of resolving distribution or other issues relating to the particular loan or property, determined taking into account the number of Subject Investors, known issues, the extent of the interests of the estates of EFI or EFMF, available funds or other matters. b. For some loans and real properties, advances, which sometimes are quite substantial, are evident from EFIs books and records. The Trustees view charges as applicable to a loan, property or their investors when used, by example, for construction costs for the property, maintenance costs, foreclosure costs, borrower advances or payments to investors of principal or interest. Roughly $18 million in advances on the various EFI loans are reflected in EFIs books and they often appear to have been made from monies from EFMF. c. Some items labeled in EFIs books as advances to particular loans, however, were used instead for other loans, properties or purposes and some advances to or for the benefit of loans were not booked as such, but are nonetheless traceable through EFIs books and records as having benefited a subject property and having come from funds contributed by other investors, EFMF or EFIs general funds. Thus, as part of the reconciliation process, the Trustees are validating the amounts appearing to have been used for the particular loan or real property or for the relevant

investors and recoupment for such advances only is being sought after such validation process has been undertaken. 5. Objection Deadline. A party objecting to the Distribution must file with the

Bankruptcy Court and serve on the Notice Parties listed above and below its objection and a request for a hearing no later than September 14, 2009. IF YOU FAIL TO OBJECT AND REQUEST A HEARING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS NOTICE, THE EFI TRUSTEE AND EFMF TRUSTEE HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO EFFECTUATE THE DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT FURTHER COURT HEARING OR ORDER. If a timely objection and request for hearing is filed and served (and not withdrawn), the applicable Trustee shall schedule and give not less than 10 days notice of a hearing (with no enlargement thereto for non-Court days or Holidays) at which Court approval will be sought for the Distribution Proposal. Thereafter, any further papers by any party with respect to the matter shall be filed and served by personal service, email, fax or overnight delivery upon the Notice Parties no later than six (6) days after service of the hearing notice (with no enlargement thereto for non-Court days or Holidays). 6. Copies of the Procedures Order and Related Documents. The Procedures Order, this

EXHIBIT A-3
Notes:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Date of original investment. Outstanding investment amount as of the EFI bankruptcy petition date. Outstanding investment, as a percentage of total outstanding loan amount, as of the EFI bankruptcy petition date. Allocation of net sale or net loan payoff proceeds is based on investment as a percentage of total funded loan amount. Amounts may differ slightly due to adjustments to sale closing costs. Percentage of beneficial ownership in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan, resulting from the proper recording, or lack thereof, of assignment(s) in the note and deed of trust. Assignment issue codes and proposed settlements for each based on Court approved settlement parameters: A Assignment Issue: No assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located. Proposed Settlement: Investor to receive 60% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, with the balance to be retained by the EFI Estate. Investor to receive an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI equal to 40% of his or her investment. B Assignment Issue: An assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located, or title vested in the investors name upon foreclosure or a deed in lieu despite never receiving an assignment, but the recording or vesting occurred within the applicable preference period (90 days and 1 year prior to the June 25, 2008 EFI bankruptcy petition for non-insiders and insiders, respectively). Proposed Settlement: Investor to receive 68% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, with the balance to be retained by the EFI Estate. Investor to receive an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI equal to 32% of his or her investment. C Assignment Issue: An assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located, but the recorded assignment percentage is less than the outstanding investment as a percentage of the funded loan amount. Proposed Settlement: Investor to receive 100% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment up to an amount equal to the recorded assignment percentage times the total net distributable proceeds. Investor to receive 60% of the net proceeds allocable to the unassigned portion of his or her investment, with the balance to be retained by the EFI Estate. Investor to receive an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI equal to 40% of the unassigned portion of his or her investment. D Assignment Issue: An assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located, but the recorded assignment percentage is greater than the outstanding investment as a percentage of the funded loan amount. Treatment: Investor to receive 100% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, based on his or her outstanding investment as a percentage of the funded loan amount, not on the assignment percentage. Investor does not receive an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI.

EXHIBIT A-3
E Assignment Issue: An assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located, but EFIs books and records reflect that the investor does not have an outstanding investment in this particular loan (e.g. investor previously received a return of his or her investment). Treatment: Since there is no outstanding investment to which net distributable proceeds would be allocable, the investor would not receive any of the net proceeds, nor an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI. F Assignment Issue: An assignment to the investor in the note and deed of trust associated with this loan was properly recorded with the Recorder for the county in which the property securing the loan is located, but, prior to the bankruptcy petition, upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the property was transferred to EFI alone without a recorded provision for holding such property in trust for the investor. Proposed Settlement: Investor to receive 95% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, with the balance to be retained by the EFI Estate. Investor to receive an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI equal to 5% of his or her investment. G Assignment Issue: Other assignment issue not contemplated in the approved settlement parameters. Treatment/Proposed Settlement: The net distributable proceeds allocable to the investor's investment to be held by the EFI Trustee pending resolution. The proposed settlement will depend on the particular facts of the assignment issue, but it would provide that the investor receives no less than 60% of the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, with the balance to be retained by the EFI Estate. (7) (8) The proposed distributions of estimated net distributable proceeds are based on each investor's pro-rata share of the loan. If an "assignment issue" exists, see the applicable assignment issue code above for the distribution calculation pursuant to the proposed settlement in accordance with the approved settlement parameters. In some instances, investment proceeds intended to fund a particular loan were used for other loans and collateral, or for EFI and its operations ("Unintended Loan"). In these instances, as part of the proposed settlements in accordance with the approved settlement parameters, investors would be afforded allowed unsecured claims against EFI equal to the portion of each investor's funds used for the Unintended Loan. Should there be an "assignment issue" that impairs an investor's rights to the net distributable proceeds allocable to his or her investment, as part of the proposed settlement in accordance with the approved settlement parameters, the investor would be afforded an allowed general unsecured claim against EFI, adjusted for a claim already allowed for an Unintended Loan, if any. See applicable assignment issue code above for the claim calculation.
