9. Period of Interest
9.1. For the purposes of determining the Ordinary Interest Rate and calculating and settling the Interest, the life of the Financing will be divided into Interest Periods, which will last three (3) Months.
9.2. The first Interest Period shall commence on the date of the first Disposition and shall end three (3) Months after the Disposition. Subsequently, each Interest Period will begin on the termination date of the immediately preceding Interest Period. For the calculation of the different Interest Periods, the first Calendar Day of the same included in said Interest Period and the last excluded Day will be understood.
9.3. In addition to the foregoing, if an Interest Period ends on a date other than a Business Day, the expiration of such Interest Period will be moved to the immediately following Business Day, unless such Business Day corresponds to the following Month, in which case, the expiration of the Interest Period will be moved to the immediately preceding Business Day. The settlement of Interest for that Interest Period and that of the following Period will take into account any adjustment that may occur. The next Interest Period will end on the same date as it would have been if the above circumstances had not occurred.
9.4. On each Ordinary Amortization date, the current Interest Period will end and the next one will begin. Consequently:
Wallbox.- Loan Agreement 2 27
(i) no Interest Period may last longer than the next Ordinary Amortization date;
(ii) no Interest Period may last longer than the Final Maturity Date, so the last Interest Period may be an irregular period.
10. Accrual and settlement of Interest
10.1. Accrual
The Principal of the Financing Amount will accrue on a daily basis, in favor of the Financing Entity, Interest at the Ordinary Interest Rate in accordance with this Agreement.
10.2. Calculation
10.2.1. The calculation of the total amount of Interest accrued in each Interest Period, in relation to each Financing Amount, will be carried out in accordance with the following formula:
Interest = (P * I * D) / 360
Where:
"P" is the Principal of the Financing Amount.
"I" is the Ordinary Interest Rate.
"D" is the number of Calendar Days elapsed from the Interest Period.
10.3. Liquidation
10.3.1. Interest shall be settled and payable, without notice, at the expiration of each Interest Period) and shall be paid by 10:30 a.m. (Central European Time) on each applicable Interest Settlement Date.
10.3.2. For the calculation of the Interest to be settled on each Interest Settlement Date, the year of three hundred and sixty (360) days will be used as a basis, such interest being calculated on the exact number of Calendar Days elapsed in each case.
10.3.3. Exceptionally, in the event of an Early Redemption in accordance with the provisions of the Clauses 14.2, 14.3 and 14.4, the accrued Interest corresponding to the Principal that has been prepaid must be paid on the corresponding Early Redemption Date.
Wallbox.- Loan Agreement 2 28
11. Ordinary Interest Rate
11.1. Determination of the Ordinary Interest Rate
The Ordinary Interest Rate applicable to the Principal of the Financing during each Interest Period shall be calculated by the Agent, by adding the Margin to the EURIBOR (or, if the provisions of Clause apply). 11.4, the Substitute Reference Rate), and shall be set prior to the start of each Interest Period, taking as the reference date the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date on which each Interest Period begins.
11.2. Margin
11.2.1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Margin applicable to the Principal of the Financing Amount, during each Interest Period, will be the Fixed Margin plus the Variable Margin, less a bonus of ten basis points (0.10%) if there is an annual increase of seventeen percent (17%) of the tons of CO2 equivalent avoided by the chargers connected to MyWallbox, based on the reference value of the immediately preceding year (the "Sustainability Margin").
11.2.2. The Variable Margin and the Sustainability Margin to be considered for each Interest Period will be determined, respectively, by the Borrower's Net Sales and whether or not the Sustainability Requirement is met at the end of the Year in which the settlement took place. The Sustainability Margin will begin to be applied in 2024.
11.2.3. Given that the Audited Financial Statements will not be available at the Interest Settlement Date, nor will it be possible to verify compliance or not with the Sustainability Requirement until the end of the financial year, and, therefore, the certificates of the Clause will not have been provided 19 corresponding to the Year in which the Variable Margin and the Sustainability Margin are being settled, the Agent will provisionally settle the interest on such Settlement Dates by applying a Sustainability Margin of zero (0) and a Variable Margin that it deems appropriate, at its option, in accordance with the data of the previous Year or without taking into account the Variable Margin.
11.2.4. The Agent, upon receipt of the Audited Financial Statements, the Borrower's Annual Sales Certificate and the Sustainable Consultant's independent report on compliance with the Sustainability Requirement on time, shall proceed to calculate the accrued interest in a final manner.
(i) In the case of the Variable Margin, the Financing Entity or the Borrower shall pay the difference resulting against it to the other Party, as the case
Wallbox.- Loan Agreement 2 29
may be, of such settlement, within thirty (30) Calendar Days from the notification of the final settlement of the Agent.
(ii) In the case of the Sustainability Margin, if the Interest Rate subsidy for compliance with the Sustainability Requirement is applicable, the Financing Entity will pay the Borrower the difference with respect to the provisional settlement unless there is a Cause of Early Maturity
11.2.5. In the event that the Borrower fails to deliver within the period indicated in the Clause 19, the Audited Financial Statements, the Borrower's Annual Sales Certificate and the Sustainable Consultant's independent report on compliance with the Sustainability Requirement, the Agent may carry out the final settlement by applying the maximum rate provided as Variable Margin in that period and/or the Sustainability Margin will be zero, depending on the supporting documentation not provided in time.
11.2.6. In the event of termination of the Financing for any reason (final maturity, early repayment or cancellation due to default):
(i) the Variable Margin to be used to definitively settle settlements that have taken place only provisionally will be the last Variable Margin applied definitively.
(ii) the Sustainability Margin bonus will only be applicable if the Promoter proves compliance with the Sustainability Requirement prior to the termination of the Financing
(a) at the end of the previous financial year in respect of interest payments that occurred in that year, or
(b) to a date no earlier than twenty (20) Calendar Days prior to the termination of the Financing with respect to interest settlements for the current year (exceptionally, in the case of termination of the Financing due to non-compliance, the deadline for accreditation of compliance with the Sustainability Requirement is extended until the seventh (7th) Calendar Day after the declaration of early maturity).
If the Sustainability Requirement depends on a variable based on the time elapsed during the year in question, for the case (b) above, compliance with said requirement will be calculated proportionally to the time elapsed from the beginning of the current financial year to the date taken, within the twenty (20) Calendar Days prior to the termination of the Financing, to prove it.
Wallbox.- Loan Agreement 2 30
11.2.7. Interest will accrue even during the grace period for repayment of the principal. The accrual of interest will be calculated on the balances drawn down and the amounts outstanding to be repaid at any given time

(ii) EURIBOR will be increased, where appropriate, by any tax or surcharge that may be levied or may be levied in the future on this type of operation, plus any other type of expenditure that may arise from the management to obtain the corresponding funds.
11.3.3. In the event that there is no reference of EURIBOR to the period indicated in the Clause 11.2 The Agent shall notify the Borrower of this circumstance and shall calculate the interest rate applicable to that period by means of the linear interpolation of the two rates corresponding to the immediately preceding and immediately following period for which there is a quote. In the event that there is no immediately preceding period, the interest rate corresponding to the immediately following period will be applied. The reference rate thus obtained by the Agent shall be the one taken into consideration for the purpose of determining the reference rate referred to in the preceding paragraph.
