(a)any interest not paid when due during the Forbearance Period (such amounts, the “Missed Interest Payments”), and interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Notes at the Default Rate;

(b)consistent with Paragraph 5 of each of the AP Notes, any such interest payments that would have otherwise been due during the Forbearance Period will be treated as provided in such Paragraph 5, and interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the AP Notes at the Default Rate;

(c)as provided in each of the Notes, late fees assessed under the Notes shall become due and payable at the rate of $40,000.00 on each Interest Payment Date that occurs during the Forbearance Period as if the waivers and forbearance set forth in this Agreement had not been granted, but such amounts (the “Assessed Late Fees”) shall not be capitalized;

(d)upon payment, in full, by Borrowers on or before the last day of the Forbearance Period of (such amounts, the “Required December 2023 Payments”): (a) all Obligations due the May 2023 Noteholders under the May 2023 NPA; (b) the Missed Interest Payments; and (c) the Assessed Late Fees, unless Events of Default other than those attributable to the Specified Events are then continuing, interest on the Notes and the AP Notes will no longer accrue interest at the Default Rate but rather accrue interest as otherwise provided under the Notes and AP Notes, as applicable.

1.4Forbearance Period.  The Forbearance Period is the period commencing on May 1, 2023 and ending on the date that any Forbearance Default (as defined in Section 8) occurs (the “Termination Date”).
