(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Borrower to the Bank hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest by such Borrower shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the Bank would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to the Bank limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by the Bank, and in such event such Borrower shall pay the Bank interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. (e) Middleby shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee accruing at the rate per annum then applicable in the determination of the amount payable hereunder in accordance with the definition of the term, Applicable Margin with respect to Commitment Fee, on the average daily amount for each quarter by which the Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans and (ii) the aggregate outstanding LC Obligations for such quarter, such commitment fee being payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter occurring after the date hereof and on the Revolving Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of the Commitment under Section 2.6, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date.
