Bank may, in its good faith business discretion in each instance, finance such Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case basis.

Bank may, in its sole discretion in each instance, finance Eligible Accounts on an aggregate basis by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the aggregate face amount of a summary listing of Eligible Accounts provided to Bank for one Account Debtor (the “Aggregate Eligible Accounts”).

(iii) Any extension of credit made pursuant to the terms of subsection (i) or, prior to the occurrence of the Sale Event, subsection (ii), above shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Advance”.

(c) In computing Collateral Handling Fees under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of Obligations three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Collections. After an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional 0.50% effective immediately upon such Event of Default; provided, however, as of the first day of the month following the month in which the applicable Event of Default is cured (so long as at such time there is no other Event of Default), the Collateral Handling Fee shall be reduced to the applicable rate as set forth in the first sentence of subsection (i) or, prior to the occurrence of the Sale Event, subsection (ii) (as applicable) of this Section 2.2.4.”
