 4    the   Commissioner   deems   necessary   and   proper.    The

15    officers, or directors and shall take  appropriate  steps  to
16    ensure correction of violations of this Act.
17        (c)  Affiliates   of  a  licensee  shall  be  subject  to
18    examination by the Commissioner on  the  same  terms  as  the
19    licensee,  but  only  when  reports from, or examination of a
20    licensee  provides  for  documented  evidence   of   unlawful
21    activity   between   a  licensee  and  affiliate  benefiting,
22    affecting or deriving from the activities regulated  by  this
23    Act.
24        (d)  The  expenses of any examination of the licensee and
25    affiliates shall be borne by the licensee and assessed by the
26    Commissioner as established by regulation.
27        (e)  Upon completion of the examination, the Commissioner
28    shall issue  a  report  to  the  licensee.   The  examination
29    report, and the work papers of the report shall belong to the
30    Commissioner's  office  and  may  not  be disclosed to anyone
31    other than the licensee, law enforcement officials  or  other
32    regulatory   agencies   that   shall   be  defined  in  rules
33    promulgated by the Commissioner, or to a party  presenting  a
34    lawful  subpoena  to  the Office of the Commissioner. Reports

11    subject  to  the  restrictions provided in Section 2.5 of the
12    Office of  Banks  and  Real  Estate  Act  including,  without
13    limitation, the restrictions on (i) owning shares of stock or

22    Illinois  residential  loans,  the  examination  required  in
23    subsection (a) may be waived upon submission of a letter from
24    the  licensee's  independent  certified  auditor   that   the
25    licensee serviced fewer than 1,000 Illinois residential loans
26    during the year in which the audit was performed.
