Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1.1(a), Advances may be made in excess of the Availability Amount (but not in excess of the Revolving Line then in effect) (such Advances referred to herein as "Nonformula Advances") subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) such Nonformula Advances may be made solely during the last five (5) Business Days of any fiscal month or quarter, as the case may be; (ii) prior to any Nonformula Advance, the Borrower must provide (A) evidence satisfactory to Bank that it is in pro forma compliance in all respects with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.7(a) of this Agreement and (B) a duly completed and executed Notice of Borrowing which requests such Nonformula Advance and directs the repayment of such Nonformula Advance within the time frame provided in clause (iv) herein, (iii) on the day of such Nonformula Advance, but no later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower must provide a duly completed Borrowing Base Report, Deferred Revenue Report and a duly completed and executed Borrowing Base Certificate; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to deliver the documentation required pursuant to this clause (iii) if the Borrower has repaid such Nonformula Advance within the time frame provided in clause (iv) herein; and (iv) the Borrower shall repay any and all Nonformula Advances on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the applicable fiscal month or quarter end. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to repay the principal amount of any Nonformula Advance as provided in this Section 2.1.1(a)(iii), such Advance shall be deemed an Advance that is not a Nonformula Advance and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Availability Amount and the provisions set forth in Section 2.2."
