8. Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus 3.15%.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Revolving Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods, if any), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Revolving Loan) payable by the Borrower under this Note is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods, if any), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
4
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter occurring prior to the Maturity Date (commencing with the first fiscal quarter ending after the Original Closing Date) and at such other times as may be specified herein, in each case, in cash. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws.
(d) Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, Borrower and each Lender intend to strictly conform to all applicable usury laws. In no event, whether by reason of demand for payment or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, or received by such Lender under this Note, or otherwise exceed the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to a Lender in excess of the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws, the interest payable to such Lender shall be reduced automatically to the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable laws which would, apart from this paragraph, be in excess of the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws, an amount equal to any amount which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on this Note in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount of interest which would have been in excess of the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Note, such excess amount shall be promptly refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid pursuant to this Note to any Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of this Note (including any renewal or extension, if applicable) so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws.
10. Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender a non-use fee on a Pro Rata Basis, equal to 1.00% per annum of the actual daily amount of the total unfunded Commitments of the Lenders during the period from and including the Original Closing Date to the Maturity Date, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower occurring prior to the Maturity Date (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023), and on the Maturity Date. For avoidance of doubt, the non-use fee shall be equal to the total Commitments of the Lenders minus the outstanding principal balance under this Note at any given time, calculated on a daily basis.
11. Condition Precedent. The effectiveness of this Note is subject to each Xxxxxx’s receipt of executed counterparts of this Note signed on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders.
12. Closing Fee. On the date that is 180 days after the Original Closing Date (or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender a closing fee in cash in an amount equal to 12% of each Lender’s Commitment on the Original Closing Date (the “Closing Fee”).

However, there shall be no Event of Default under this clause (f) if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding.
14. Lender’s Rights. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified herein (after any applicable cure period has expired), the Lenders (or other holders of this Note) may, at their option and without notice or demand, (i) declare the outstanding principal balance of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note at once due and payable, (ii) refuse to advance any additional amounts under this Note, including but not limited to permanently terminating Borrower's ability to borrow under this Note, (iii) pursue any and all other rights, remedies and recourse available to Lender (or other holder of this Note), at law or in equity, or (iv) pursue any combination of the foregoing.
