payment from Debtor under the following terms and conditions.

as to Debtor issued on February 7, 2007. 

3. Debtor's current employer pays him every two weeks. Debtor will pay $75 to 

Creditor per pay period, through wage garnishment, until Debtor pays Creditor the full amount of 

the costs portion of the judgment plus interest. 

4. This costs portion of the judgment bears interest at the rate of 5.06 percent per 

annum, from the date of entry, August 28, 2006, until the costs portion of the judgment is paid in

5. Debtor can pay more if he chooses, but not less than $75 per pay period every two 

weeks, through wage garnishment. 

6. Debtor can pay the full balance owed, plus accrued interest, at anytime.
