It is agreed that if I return the above-mentioned principal to the Investing Partner, together with an additional __________________________ as payment for the profits which are generated, then I will not be required to make any further payment nor will I be required to make an oath. The balance of the profits, if any, shall be my sole property. I am obligated to make this payment on or before ______________. If payment is not made by this time, the terms of this Iska shall continue.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Iska agreement and the terms of any other agreement signed by the two parties in regard to these funds, the terms of this agreement shall prevail.

This agreement shall follow the guidelines of Heter Iska as explained in Sefer Bris Yehudah. It is agreed that any dispute which may arise in connection with this agreement shall be submitted before ________________.¹ Judgement rendered by the aforesaid authority may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
