Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX, X0X 0X0, Xxxxxx, PACIFIC SAFETY PRODUCTS INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“Pacific Safety”; and along with Med-Eng, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), with an address at 000 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, X0X 0X0, Xxxxxx, and PNC BANK CANADA BRANCH (the “Bank”), with an address at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, X0X 0X0, Xxxxxx.
The Borrowers and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Loan. The Bank has made or may make one or more loans (“Loan”) to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in this Agreement. Each Loan shall be used for business purposes (and not for personal, family or household use) and is or will be evidenced by that certain Revolving Line of Credit Note dated as of the date hereof made by the Borrowers in favor of the Bank and all renewals, extensions, amendments and restatements thereof (whether one or more, collectively, the “Note”) acceptable to the Bank and the Borrowers, which shall set forth the interest rate, repayment and other provisions of the respective Loan, the terms of which (including the defined terms therein) are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Loans governed by this Agreement shall include the Loans specifically described below, if any, and any additional lines of credit or term loans that the Bank has made or may, in its sole discretion, make to the Borrowers in the future.
1.1. Line of Credit. One of the Loans governed by this Agreement is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrowers may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will make advances to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, from time to time until the Expiration Date, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed C$10,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”). The “Expiration Date” shall have the meaning set forth in the Note. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Line of Credit beyond the Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances under the Line of Credit exceed the face amount of the Line of Credit. Advances under the Line of Credit (a) will be used for working capital or other general business purposes of the Borrowers and (b) at the Borrowers’ option, will be denominated in either U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars.
1.2. The Borrowers may request that the Bank, in lieu of cash advances, issue letters of credit (each individually a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) under the Line of Credit (including all banker’s acceptances issued up to 180 days under the terms of any trade Letter of Credit) with an aggregate stated amount outstanding at any time not to exceed C$3,000,000; provided, however, that (a) after giving effect to the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, the sum of the aggregate outstanding advances under the Line of Credit and the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding shall not exceed the amount of the Line of Credit and (b) at the Borrowers’ option, Letters of Credit will be denominated either U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars. The availability of advances under the Line of Credit shall be reduced by the stated amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding (whether or not drawn). For purposes of this Agreement, the “stated amount” of any Letter of Credit shall include any automatic increases in the amount available to be drawn under the terms of such Letter of Credit, whether or not any such increase has become effective, and any deemed increase in the amount available to be drawn under the terms of a trade Letter of Credit as a result of any tolerance set forth in such trade Letter of Credit.
Unless otherwise consented to by the Bank in writing, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date which is not later than twelve (12) months following the Expiration Date (the “Final LC Expiration Date”). Each payment by the Bank under a Letter of Credit shall constitute an advance of principal under such Line of Credit and shall be evidenced by the Note. The Letters of Credit shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement and by a reimbursement agreement, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank, executed by the Borrowers in favor of the Bank (the “Reimbursement Agreement”). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit must be accompanied by the Borrowers’ execution of an application on the Bank’s standard forms (each, an “Application”), together with all supporting documentation. Each Letter of Credit will be issued in the Bank’s sole discretion and in a form acceptable to the Bank. This Agreement is not a pre-advice for the issuance of a letter of credit and is not irrevocable.
The Borrowers shall pay the Bank’s standard issuance fee on the stated amount of each Letter of Credit upon issuance, together with such other customary fees and expenses therefor as shall be required by the Bank. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank a fee (the “Letter of Credit Commission”), calculated daily (on the basis of a year of 360 days), on the amount available to be drawn at such time under all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Line of Credit (including any amounts drawn thereunder and not reimbursed, regardless of the existence or satisfaction of any conditions or limitations on drawing) each day at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans. The Letter of Credit Commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears beginning on October 1, 2021, and continuing on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter and on the Final LC Expiration Date. In no event shall the Letter of Credit Commission for any Letter of Credit be less than the minimum commission in effect from time to time.
2. Security. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Guarantor Credit Agreement), the security for repayment of the Loan shall include but not be limited to the collateral, guaranties and other documents hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank (the “Security Documents”), which shall secure repayment of the Loan and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrowers to the Bank described therein (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations”).

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.
