Amendment No. 8 provides for a new equipment loan facility in the amount of up to $30,000,000 (Facility D).

Each equipment advance under Facility D must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Each advance must be repaid by the Company beginning on the last business day of the month following the date of funding of the advance in 48 equal, monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, at an annual rate of 0.75% fixed.

The Company also granted a first priority security interest in such deposit account to the Bank.

(iv) With respect to Facility D Equipment Advances, each Facility D Equipment Advance shall immediately amortize and be payable in 48 equal payments of principal and interest beginning on the last Business Day of the month following the Funding Date of such Facility D Equipment Advance, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. The final payment due on the applicable Facility D Maturity Date shall include all outstanding principal and all accrued unpaid interest.
