No 2007 Equipment Advance may exceed 100% of the total invoice for the 2007 Eligible Equipment, excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expenses relating to such 2007 Eligible Equipment. Borrower shall provide Bank with equipment invoices totaling the aggregate 2007 Equipment Advances made hereunder, on or before June 30, 2007.

(c) Repayment. Each 2007 Equipment Advance is payable in: (i) thirty-six (36) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal, calculated by the Bank, based upon (A) the amount of such 2007 Equipment Advance, and (B) an amortization schedule equal to thirty-six (36) months, plus (ii) interest on the outstanding principal amount of such 2007 Equipment Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.7(b), beginning on the first calendar day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs and continuing thereafter on the first calendar day of each successive calendar month.

plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the Prepayment Fee, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(e) Permitted Prepayment of Equipment Advances. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the 2007 Equipment Advances advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the 2007 Equipment Advances at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, (B) the Prepayment Fee, and (C) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(f) Borrowing Procedure. To obtain a 2007 Equipment Advance, Borrower must notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time one (1) Business Day before the day on which a 2007 Equipment Advance is to be made.
