All amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to (a) the greater of (i) the federal funds rate -- upper limit(1) on the date of the applicable borrowing, and (ii) 3.25%, plus (b) 4.50%. The Credit Facility will mature 364 days after the Effective Date, but the Company may request that the maturity date be extended by an additional 364 days, subject to consent by Coinbase.
