Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement

This SUBORDINATION AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is
made effective as of July 12, 2001, by and between Bank One, N.A., a
national banking association with principal offices in Columbus, Ohio
("Bank" or "Senior Lender") and Christian Larsen
("Larsen") and The Charles Schwab Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Schwab") (collectively, Larsen and Schwab shall be
referred to as the "Subordinated Lenders").  Larsen, Schwab and the
Bank or Senior Lender are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a
"Lender" and collectively as "Lenders".

BACKGROUND

A. Obligations to the Senior Lender

To provide financing to E-Loan, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Debtor"), the Senior Lender entered into a Loan Agreement dated as
of April 2, 2001 (the "Loan Agreement") together with other transaction
documents (collectively, the Loan Agreement and such other transaction documents
related thereto shall be referred to as the "Bank Credit Agreement").
Under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Senior Lender agreed to lend to the Debtor
up to the aggregate principal amount of Twenty-five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000,000) from time to time outstanding on a revolving credit basis.  The
obligations of the Debtor to the Senior Lender under the Bank Credit Agreement
are secured by the grant by the Debtor of the first priority security interest
in and assignment of property of the Debtor as described on Exhibit A
hereto (the "Senior Lender's Collateral").  (The obligations of the
Debtor under the Bank Credit Agreement and any and all other obligations of the
Debtor to the Senior Lender, now existing or hereafter arising, shall be
referred to as the "Senior Obligations").

 

B.Obligations to Larsen

To provide additional financing to the Debtor, Larsen is entering into an
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of July 12, 2001 (the "Larsen
Loan Agreement") together with other transaction documents (collectively,
the Larsen Loan Agreement and such other transaction documents shall be referred
to as the "Larsen Credit Agreement").  Under the Larsen Credit
Agreement, Larsen is agreeing to lend to the Debtor up to the aggregate
principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($2,500,000) from time to time outstanding on a revolving credit basis.  The
obligations of the Debtor to Larsen under the Larsen Credit Agreement are
secured by a grant by the Debtor of a second priority security interest in and
assignment of property of the Debtor as described on Exhibit B hereto
(the "Larsen Collateral").  (The obligations of the Debtor under the
Larsen Credit Agreement and any and all other obligations of the Debtor to
Larsen, now existing or hereafter arising, shall be referred to as the
"Larsen Obligations".)

C.Obligations to Schwab

To provide additional financing to the Debtor, the Debtor issued to
Schwab its eight percent (8%) convertible note due on January 19, 2003, in the
aggregate principal amount of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (the
"Note"), which Note was purchased by Schwab pursuant to the terms and
conditions of that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 12, 2001
(the "Purchase Agreement") and which Note is convertible at the option
of holders into shares of the Debtor's common stock, $0.001 par value pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the agreements between the Debtor and Schwab.
(The Note, Purchase Agreement, Security Agreement, and other transaction
documents relating thereto or arising therefrom shall be referred to as the
"Schwab Credit Agreement"; the obligations of the Debtor under the
Schwab Credit Agreement and any and all other obligations of the Debtor to
Schwab, now existing or hereafter arising, shall be referred to as the
"Schwab Obligations".)  Those Schwab Obligations that arise under the
Note or Security Agreement are secured by a grant by the Debtor of a security
interest in and assignment of property of the Debtor as described on Exhibit
C hereto (the "Schwab Collateral").  

(Collectively, the Larsen Obligations and the Schwab Obligations shall be
referred to as the "Subordinated Obligations"; collectively, the
Larsen Credit Agreement and the Schwab Credit Agreement shall be referred to as
the "Subordinated Credit Agreements"; and, collectively, the Larsen
Collateral and the Schwab Collateral shall be referred to as the
"Subordinated Lenders' Collateral".)

D.Identification of Collateral

The Senior Lender's Collateral is comprised of the identical assets of
the Debtor as is the Subordinated Lenders' Collateral.  Schwab and Larsen have
entered into an Intercreditor Agreement effective as of ___________, 2001 to
provide for the relationship of the Larsen Obligations to the Schwab Obligations
and to provide for the allocation of the collateral interests as between Schwab
and Larsen ("Schwab-Larsen Intercreditor Agreement").  This Agreement
is unaffected by the Schwab-Larsen Intercreditor Agreement.  

(Collectively, the Senior Lender's Collateral, the Larsen Collateral and
the Schwab Collateral shall be referred to as the "Collateral".)

E. Debt Prohibitions

The Bank Credit Agreement prohibits, inter alia, the Debtor
from incurring debt which is not subordinated to the Senior Obligations and
prohibits any other liens on the Senior Lender's Collateral.  The purpose of
this Agreement is to provide for the subordination of the Subordinated
Obligations to the Senior Obligations and to provide for subordination of the
interests of Larsen and Schwab in the Collateral to those of the Senior Lender.
The Debtor has requested that the Senior Lender consent to the Subordinated
Obligations and the grants to the Subordinated Lenders of the Subordinated
Lenders' Collateral.  The Senior Lender has consented to this request subject to
the provisions of this Agreement.  

 

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

Section 1. Priority of Security Interests.

Notwithstanding the time or the order of perfection of their
respective security interests, any provision in the Subordinated Credit
Agreements, any provision of the federal bankruptcy code, or any other
applicable law, as between themselves, the Senior Lender and the Subordinated
Lenders agree as follows:

(a)The Senior Lender shall have, claim and maintain a first
priority lien on and first priority security interest in the Collateral.

(b)The Subordinated Lenders shall have, claim and maintain a second
priority lien on and second priority security interest in the Collateral as the
interests in the Collateral of the Subordinated Lenders may be adjusted between
them pursuant to the Schwab-Larsen Intercreditor Agreement, fully subordinated
to all interests in the Collateral of the Senior Lender. 

(c)The parties hereto will execute and deliver all further agreements
and documents which may be reasonably required to implement or evidence the
foregoing interests in favor of each such party.

Section 2. Subordination by the Subordinated Lenders.

Each of the Subordinated Lenders shall, and hereby does, subordinate the
Subordinated Obligations in favor of the Senior Obligations.  Each Subordinated
Lender may accept regularly scheduled payments of principal and/or interest
under their respective Credit Agreements so long as no event of default has
occurred and is continuing under the Bank Credit Agreement or so long as such
payment would not cause an event of default under the Bank Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Bank Credit Agreement, no
Subordinated Lender may accept any payments whatsoever on the Subordinated
Obligations, from any source whatsoever, including, without limitation, payments
from the Debtor or arising from or related to the Collateral.  Each Subordinated
Lender acknowledges that the occurrence of an event of default under either the
Larsen Credit Agreement or the Schwab Credit Agreement constitutes an event of
default under the Bank Credit Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of an event of
default under the Bank Credit Agreement, except events of default which are
precipitated by default by the Debtor under either the Larsen Credit Agreement
or the Schwab Credit Agreement, the Senior Lender shall give written notice to
each of the Subordinated Lenders of such event of default under the Bank Credit
Agreement (the "Default Notice"); provided, however, irrespective of
the date of receipt of a Default Notice by a Subordinated Lender, the operative
date for all relevant purposes under this Agreement shall be that date on which
such event of default actually occurred under the Bank Credit Agreement (the
"Default Date").  After a Default Date, all payments on account of the
Subordinated Obligations accepted by any Subordinated Lender from whatever
source, including, but not limited to, offsets, shall be received by such
Subordinated Lender in trust for the benefit of the Senior Lender, shall at all
times be and remain the property of the Senior Lender and shall be promptly paid
over by such Subordinated Lender to the Senior Lender in exactly the form
received with appropriate endorsement at the direction of the Senior Lender.

Section 3. Additional Terms Regarding Subordination.

(a)The Senior Lender may amend, revise, renew, substitute or replace
or otherwise modify any term under the Bank Credit Agreement, or any of the
obligations owed to it by the Debtor; extend the maturity therefore or agree to
forbearance thereon without notice to any Subordinated Lender and without such
affecting the obligations, undertakings and agreements of each Subordinated
Lender under this Agreement; and may extend additional loans to the Debtor
without the prior consent of the Subordinated Lenders.

(b)After a Default Date, each Subordinated Lender agrees not to ask,
demand, sue for, take or receive from the Debtor, directly or indirectly, by
offset, in any other name, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations
unless and until the Senior Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly
satisfied and the Senior Lender has no further commitment to make loans to the
Debtor under the Bank Credit Agreement.

(c)No Subordinated Lender shall have any right to possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof or to foreclose upon any Collateral or any part
thereof, to collect or enforce the Subordinated Obligation owed to it by the
Debtor, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Senior
Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly satisfied and the Senior Lender has
no further commitment to make loans to the Debtor under the Bank Credit
Agreement.

(d)No Subordinated Lender shall commence or join with any creditor of
the Debtor other than the Senior Lender in commencing any proceeding to collect
or enforce the Subordinated Obligations owed to him or it or to file an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy against the Debtor.

(e)In the event of any distribution of the assets or readjustments of
the debt of the Debtor, whether by liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement,
receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other similar
action or proceeding, or the application of the assets to the payment or
liquidation thereof, the Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive payment in
full in cash of the Senior Obligations prior to any payment to any Subordinated
Lender.  In the event of any distribution to any Subordinated Lender contrary to
the provisions of this subsection, such distribution shall be deemed to be held
by such Subordinated Lender in trust for the benefit of the Senior Lender, shall
at all times be and remain the property of the Senior Lender and shall be
promptly paid over by such Subordinated Lender to the Senior Lender in exactly
the form received with appropriate endorsement at the direction of the Senior
Lender.

(f)The Senior Lender may release, exchange, sell or otherwise deal
with the Collateral without impairing or affecting any of its rights under this
Agreement.

(g)The Senior Lender may continue, at any time and without notice to
the Subordinated Lenders, to extend credit or other financial accommodations or
benefits and loan monies to or for the account of the Debtor and such extensions
of credit, financial accommodations or benefits and loans to or for the account
of the Debtor shall be subject to the benefits and entitlements afforded the
Senior Lender under this Agreement.

(h)This is a continuing agreement of subordination and shall continue
in effect until the Senior Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly
satisfied and the Senior Lender has no further commitment to make loans to the
Debtor under the Bank Credit Agreement.

(i)Each party hereto represents and warrants that it has not
previously assigned any interest in the obligations owed to it or him by the
Debtor, that no other party owns an interest in such obligations (whether as
joint holders, participants or otherwise).

(j)Each Subordinated Lender hereby expressly waives any right that it
may otherwise have to require the Senior Lender to marshall assets or to resort
to Collateral in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common
law or statute. 

(k)In the event that the Senior Lender shall be required by the
Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law to give notice to either of
the Subordinated Lenders, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section
5 hereof and of their respective interests in the Collateral in seven (7)
business days' notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.

(l)After a Default Date under the Bank Credit Agreement, each
Subordinated Lender will cooperate with the Senior Lender's efforts to collect,
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral and shall provide to the Senior
Lender, upon request, appropriate releases of their respective interests in the
Collateral to permit such collection, sale or other disposition of the
Collateral by the Senior Lender, free and clear of any Subordinated Lender's
interest in the Collateral.

(m)For the limited purpose of perfection of the respective security
interests of the Lenders in those types or items of Collateral in which a
security interest may be perfected by possession, each Lender hereby appoints
the other as its agent for the limited purpose of possessing on its behalf any
such Collateral that may come into the possession of such other Lender from time
to time, and each Lender agrees to act as the other's agent for such limited
purpose of perfecting the other's security interest by possession through an
agent, provided that neither Lender shall incur any liability to the other
Lender by virtue of acting as the other's agent hereunder, and either Lender may
relinquish possession of Collateral in its possession without the consent of the
other Lender, and without incurring liability to the other Lender, unless there
is an express written agreement to the contrary in effect between the
Lenders.

collateral securing such paid off Loan or Loans.

collateral for each Underlying A&D Loan a promissory note for the full amount of
such loan and corresponding mortgage encumbering each timeshare resort from each
underlying  borrower  directly  assigned  to CSFB by  RFI.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  assignments  to CSFB  shall be subject  to any  residual  collateral
interest of RFI attaching to any  Underlying  A&D Loan prior to such  assignment
and,  upon receipt by CSFB of all sums due and owing to CSFB under each assigned
Underlying A&D Loan,  CSFB shall  re-assign all rights under such Underlying A&D
Loan to RFI and thereby  release any and all collateral and rights securing such
paid off Underlying A&D Loan.

Closing Date for its legal  expenses in  negotiating  and  documenting  the term
sheet and this  Master  Modification  Agreement  (including  any work  performed

shall apply such funds  initially  to reduce and pay off the Bridge Loan in full
and then to reduce the balance of a Loan or Loans in accordance with Exhibit "C"
attached  hereto,  as such exhibit may be amended from time to time.  Failure to
make any scheduled  monthly  amortization  payment shall  constitute an Event of
Default under each of the Loans.

         8.8 INFUSION OF FUNDS.  EFI will use its best efforts to refinance each
of the Loans in order to  accelerate  the paydowns to CSFB.  In the event EFI is
successful in raising  additional  funds through a debt offering (not  including
warehouse or receivables  lines of credit,  mortgage liens or any  refinancing),
80% of the  proceeds  of such  offering  shall be  payable to CSFB to reduce the
balance of a Loan or Loans in accordance  with Exhibit "C" attached  hereto,  as
such exhibit may be amended from time to time.

         8.9  CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION  AND CROSS DEFAULT. All of the Loans shall
be cross-defaulted and  cross-collateralized.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that:

           to CSFB, whether pursuant to the Applicable Loan Documents or by
           operation of law;

                     (b) All liens, pledges, assignments, mortgages and security
           interests granted by any Borrower in favor of CSFB which constitute

<PAGE>

           Collateral for each of the Loans shall constitute Collateral for each
           of the remaining Loans and for all obligations owed by any Borrower
           to CSFB; provided, however, that in the event any Loan is paid in
           full, CSFB, as a condition to such repayment, shall discharge the
           mortgage and any related security documents for such Loan at the time
           of such repayment.

         8.10 ADDITIONAL LOANS. Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant
to CSFB that  none of  Borrowers  or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate  thereof  is

agreements, with respect to any Additional Loans, including, without limitation,
any loan  document or security  agreement of Borrowers  which  matures  prior to

under each of the Loan Documents evidencing the Loans, thereby entitling CSFB to
exercise any and all legal and  equitable  rights and  remedies  available to it
thereunder.

         Borrower's breach of a covenant,  representation or warranty made under
an Additional Loan shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loans.

         (i) CSFB may, at any time and from time to time,  waive any one or more
of the  provisions of this Master  Modification  Agreement,  but any such waiver
shall be deemed to be made in  pursuance of this Master  Modification  Agreement
and not in  modification  thereof,  and any such waiver in any instance or under
any particular  circumstances shall not be considered a waiver of such condition
in any other instance or other circumstances.

         (j) Any waiver or modification of the terms of this Master Modification
Agreement  by CSFB  shall be in  writing  and shall be  signed by an  authorized
officer of CSFB.  No delay or  omission  of the part of CSFB in  exercising  any
right  hereunder  shall  operate as a waiver of that right or of any other right
thereunder or hereunder.

respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall, at the option of
the CSFB,  not  affect  any  provisions  herein,  but this  Master  Modification

CSFB  from and  against  any and all  claims  or  liabilities  arising  from the
requirements of such additional  taxes.  Failure on the part of Borrowers to pay
these  additional  taxes when due shall constitute an Event of Default under the
Applicable Loan Documents.

         (n)  Borrowers   hereby   acknowledge,   confirm  and  agree  that  the
consideration   that  Borrowers  are  receiving  from  CSFB  under  this  Master
Modification  Agreement  constitutes  reasonably  equivalent  value and valuable
consideration  in exchange for the  consideration  that CSFB is  receiving  from
Borrowers under this Master Modification Agreement.

         (o)  Borrowers  do hereby  acknowledge,  confirm and agree that CSFB is
proceeding  in good faith and are receiving  the  consideration  granted to CSFB
