Variable Rate Promissory Note, dated as of March 1, 2024 and issued to Enphys Acquisition Sponsor LLC

Payment of Interest.  From and including the date hereof to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, interest on this Note shall accrue on the principal (including as increased by all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest (as defined below)) of each Drawdown (as defined below) under this Note outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for the Interest Period therefor plus 300 basis points (3%) and shall be payable in United States dollars monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month (and on the Maturity Date), commencing on March 15, 2024, or if any such day is not a business day, on the immediately prior business day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  All interest accrued and payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid by capitalizing such interest (the “PIK Interest”) and adding it to (and thereby increasing) the outstanding principal of this Note (as increased by any prior payments of PIK Interest).  All interest on this Note so capitalized shall be paid on or prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

Payment of Principal and Interest; Non-Recourse.  The entire outstanding principal of this Note (including all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest), together with all other sums evidenced by this Note (if any), shall be due and payable in full on the date on which Maker consummates an initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”), unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below).  If Maker has not consummated an initial business combination on or prior to December 31, 2024, then Payee shall have no recourse against Maker and all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable under this Note shall immediately terminate and all related indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal of this Note may be prepaid at any time.  Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder.

Drawdown Requests.  Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request, from time to time, up to One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($100,000) in drawdowns (each, a “Drawdown”) under this Note to be used for costs and expenses related to Maker’s daily operations and due diligence in connection with a potential business combination.  The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”).  Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars ($10,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee.  Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns outstanding under this Note at any time may not exceed One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($100,000).  No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the PIK Interest contemplated in Sections 1 and 2 hereof.

Application of Payments.  All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of this Note.
