Any unpaid balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons’ Inmate Financial Responsibility Program. It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $4,365,667.50 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A, in the amounts listed for the respective victim banks in Exhibit A of Docket 31, which is incorporated into this judgment by this reference.

Pursuant to Guideline § SE1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established that he is unable to pay and is not likely to become able to pay any fine.
