    2.2 Voluntary Termination of Facility.

    2.3 Interest Rate, Computation. Each Advance shall be indicated by a Facility Note, which shall bear interest at the Facility Rate noted thereon, which shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and charged for the actual number of days during the period for which interest is being charged.

    2.4 Servicing and Payments. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the billing and collecting of the payments due under any Contract(s). Borrower shall pay to Lender the amounts due under the related Facility Contracts by the 10th of the following month, whether or not such amounts have been remitted by the respective End-Users. All payments made pursuant to this subsection 2.4 shall be applied first, to accrued and unpaid interest then due Lender calculated at the Facility Rate through the last date of such immediately preceding month; second, to principal due Lender on the applicable Advances until paid in full;, and third, to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses then owed by Borrower to Lender.. In the event Borrower fails to perform the foregoing

5

billing and collecting duties in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, Lender may terminate Borrower's authorization under this subparagraph.

    2.5 Loan, Documentation and Attorney Fees. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender a Loan fee of $5,000.00, a documentation fee of $250.00, and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Lender's legal counsel in connection with this transaction not to exceed $2,500.

    2.6.2.2 Casualty. If any Equipment subject to an Advance is lost or damaged, and cannot be repaired or replaced with substantially similar Equipment by the first due date occurring not less than sixty (60) days after such loss or damage, Borrower shall prepay the associated Advance within ten (10) Business Days thereafter.

    2.6.2.3 Early Termination without End-User Buyout. If a Facility Contract is voluntarily terminated by an End-User prior to the scheduled expiration, without the exercise of a purchase option, Borrower shall prepay the associated Advance within thirty (30) days of such event.

    2.6.2.4 Upgrades and Additions. Borrower may agree with an End-User under a Facility Contract that the Equipment subject to such Contract shall be upgraded or that additional Eligible Equipment should be added, resulting in a new Facility Contract or replacement Facility Contract. If Borrower and such End-User amend such Facility Contract to increase the payments payable thereunder in consideration of such upgrade or addition, Borrower shall prepay the obligations relating to the Facility Contract. Borrower may request that Lender finance the amended Contract as a new Facility Contract, subject to the terms outlined herein.

All interest found in excess of that rate of interest allowed and collected by Lender shall be

6

applied to the Advances in such manner as to prevent the payment and collection of interest in excess of the rate permitted by applicable Nevada law.
