Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 23, 2026, Med-Eng
Holdings ULC, Pacific Safety Products Inc., ICOR Technology Inc. and TYR Tactical Canada ULC, the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries,
as borrowers (the “Canadian Borrowers”), and Safariland, LLC, as guarantor (the “Canadian Guarantor”), closed
on a line of credit pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Canadian Loan Agreement”) and an Amended and
Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “Note”) with PNC Bank Canada Branch (“PNC Canada”), as lender pursuant
to which the Canadian Borrowers may borrow up to CDN$20.0 million under a revolving line of credit (including up to CDN$6.0 million for
letters of credit) (the “Revolving Canadian Loan”). The Revolving Canadian Loan matures on December 20, 2029. The Canadian
Loan Agreement is guaranteed by the Canadian Guarantor pursuant to an Amended and Restated Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement. The Canadian
Loan Agreement amends and restates the prior Canadian loan agreement, which was entered into on October 14, 2021, in its entirety.
The Canadian Borrowers may
elect to have borrowings either in United States dollars or Canadian dollars under the Canadian Loan Agreement, which will bear interest,
in the case of borrowings in United States dollars, at a base rate, daily SOFR or term SOFR, in each case, plus an applicable margin,
and, in the case of borrowings in Canadian dollars, at a Canadian Prime Rate (as announced from time to time by PNC Canada) or the daily
Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) as determined from time to time by the Bank of Canada (or any successor administrator
of CORRA). The applicable margin for these borrowings will range, based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio,
from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum, in the case of base rate borrowings and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings, and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum,
in the case of daily SOFR borrowings, term SOFR borrowings and CORRA borrowings. The Canadian Loan Agreement also requires the Canadian
Borrowers to pay an unused line fee on the unused portion of the loan commitments in an amount ranging between 0.175% and 0.25% per annum,
based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Canadian Loan Agreement
also contains customary representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations
on additional indebtedness, entry into new lines of business, entry into guarantee agreements, making of any loans or advances to, or
investments in, any other person, restrictions on liens on the assets of the Canadian Borrowers and mergers, transfers of assets and
acquisitions. The Canadian Loan Agreement and Note also contain customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of
principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, failure to make payment on, or defaults
with respect to, certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgments and change of control provisions. Upon the occurrence
of an event of default, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, payment of any outstanding loans under the Canadian
Loan Agreement may be accelerated.

AMEnDED
AND RESTATED Loan Agreement
THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is entered into as
of July 23, 2026, among MED-ENG HOLDINGS ULC, an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of British Columbia (“Med-Eng”)
with an address at 2400 St. Laurent Boulevard, Ottawa, Ontario, K1G 6C4, Canada, PACIFIC SAFETY PRODUCTS INC., a corporation organized
under the laws of Canada (“Pacific Safety”) with an address at 124 4th Avenue, Arnprior, Ontario, K7S 0A9,
Canada, ICOR TECHNOLOGY INC, a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario (“ICOR”) with an address at
935 Ages Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1G 6L3, Canada, and TYR TACTICAL CANADA ULC, an unlimited company organized under the laws of
Nova Scotia (“TYR”); and along with Med-Eng, Pacific Safety and ICOR, each a “Borrower” and collectively,
the “Borrowers”), with an address at 8-10 Hearst Way, Units 10B, 10C, 10E, Kanata, Ontario K2L 2P4 , Canada, and PNC
BANK CANADA BRANCH (the “Bank”), with an address at 130 King Street West, Suite 2140, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E4,
Canada. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces (but does not constitute a novation of or affect the status of any liens or security
interests granted pursuant to) that certain existing Loan Agreement dated October 14, 2021, between Med-Eng and Pacific Safety, as co-borrowers,
and the Bank (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Existing Loan Agreement”), and the Borrower's execution
of this Agreement constitutes a ratification and confirmation of all liens and security interests granted under or pursuant to the Existing
Loan Agreement.
The
Borrowers and Bank with the intent to be legally bound, hereby 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 Amended and Restated 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$20,000,000 (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$6,000,000; 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; provided, however, that to the extent that such
advances are not available or are legally prohibited at such time, the Borrower shall reimburse the Bank in accordance with the Reimbursement
Agreement (as defined below) and applicable law.. 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 and the
other Loan Documents do not obligate the Bank or any other person to issue, amend, extend, refrain from terminating, or take or omit
any other action as to any Letter of Credit, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Bank.
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 SOFR Rate Loans. The Letter of Credit Commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day
of each fiscal quarter 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.
On
the Expiration Date, in addition to any other amounts payable to the Bank, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank in immediately available
funds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate outstanding amount of any and all Letters of Credit. The Borrower hereby pledges and grants
to the Bank a security interest in all such funds as security for the Obligations, acknowledges that the Bank shall at all times have
control of such funds and shall be authorized to dispose or give disposition instructions or entitlement orders (as defined in the Uniform
Commercial Code) with respect to such funds, without further consent of the Borrower or any other person, and shall promptly to do all
further things that the Bank may deem necessary in order to grant and perfect the Bank’s security interest therein.
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”).
This
Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents, that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and
among Safariland, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”) and the Bank (the “Parent Guaranty”)
and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant or subject hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended
or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”. Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.

to be zero. The rate of interest charged shall be adjusted as of each Business Day based on changes in the Overnight Bank Funding Rate
without notice to any Borrower.
“Prime
Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is determined

of such amount (or the date of conversion of any amount to the Term SOFR Rate Option, as the case may be) and each successive period
selected by the Borrower thereafter; provided that:
(A) if a Term

succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which
case the Term SOFR Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;
(B) the Borrower
may not select a Term SOFR Interest Period that would end on a day after the Expiration Date;
and
(C) any Term SOFR
Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for

Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Term
SOFR Interest Period.
“Term
SOFR Rate” means, with respect to any amount to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, for any Term SOFR Interest Period,

by the Term SOFR Administrator on the day (the “Term SOFR Determination Date”) that is 2 Business Days prior to the
first day of such Term SOFR Interest Period, by (B) a number equal to 1.00 minus the SOFR Reserve Percentage. If the Term SOFR Reference
Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published or replaced with a Benchmark Replacement by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
time) on the Term SOFR Determination Date, then the Term SOFR Reference Rate, for purposes of clause (A) in the preceding sentence,
shall be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor on the first Business Day preceding such Term SOFR Determination Date for which
such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published in accordance herewith, so long as such first preceding Business Day is not
more than 3 Business Days prior to such Term SOFR Determination Date. If the Term SOFR Rate, determined as provided above, would be less
than the Floor, then the Term SOFR Rate shall be deemed to be the Floor. The Term SOFR Rate shall be adjusted automatically without notice

The Borrowers authorize the Bank to accept telephonic, email, automated and electronic requests for advances, and the Bank shall be entitled
to rely upon the authority of any person providing such instructions. The Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from

hereunder, the Borrowers may renew the Option applicable to such amounts or convert such amounts to a different Option available for
the currency in which such amount is denominated; provided that, during any period in which any Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined) has occurred and is continuing, (x) with respect to any such amounts denominated in United States Dollars, (i) any
amounts bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option shall, at the Bank’s sole discretion, be converted at the end of the applicable
Term SOFR Interest Period to the Base Rate Option, and the Term SOFR Rate Option will not be available to Borrowers with respect to any
new advances (or with respect to the conversion or renewal of any other amounts) until such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrowers
or waived by the Bank and (ii) any amounts bearing interest under the Daily SOFR Rate Option shall, at the Bank’s sole discretion,
be immediately converted to the Base Rate Option, and the Daily SOFR Rate Option will not be available to Borrowers with respect to any
new advances (or with respect to the conversion or renewal of any other amounts) until such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrowers
or waived by the Bank and (y) with respect to any such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, any amounts bearing interest under
the Daily CORRA Rate Option shall, at the Bank’s sole discretion, be converted on the first day of the next succeeding month to
the Canadian Prime Rate Option, and the Daily CORRA Rate Option will not be available to Borrowers with respect to any new advances (or
with respect to the conversion or renewal of any other amounts) until such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrowers or waived
by the Bank. The Borrowers shall notify the Bank of each election of an Option, each conversion from one Option to another, the amount

the case of amounts denominated in United States Dollars, the Base Rate Option and (y) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian
Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate Option. Any such election shall be promptly confirmed in writing by such method as the Bank may require.

7. Interest
Calculation; Maximum Rate. Interest with respect to advances denominated in United States Dollars will be calculated based on
the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days. Interest with respect to advances denominated in Canadian
Dollars will be calculated based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 365/366 days, as the case
may be. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. Regardless of any other provision of this Note or the
other Loan Documents, if for any reason the effective interest rate should exceed the Maximum Rate, the effective interest rate shall
be deemed reduced to, and shall be, the Maximum Rate, and (a) the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed applied
to the reduction of the principal balance of this Note and not to the payment of interest, and (b) if the loan evidenced by this
Note has been or is thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the party paying same, such application to the principal balance
of this Note or the refunding of such excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.
In the event that
any provision of this Note would oblige the Borrowers to make any payment of interest or any other payment which is construed by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt
by the Bank of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding
such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted nunc pro tunc to the maximum amount or rate of interest,
as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Bank of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment
to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid
under this Agreement; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts which would constitute
interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
Any amount or rate
of interest referred to in this Section shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles
at an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall
within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period
of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the terms of this Agreement and, in the event of dispute,
a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Bank shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
8. Alternate
SOFR Rate Provisions. If the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the eurodollar
market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, as applicable,
then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) the availability of the Term SOFR Rate Option and the Daily SOFR Rate Option shall
be suspended, and (b) the interest rate for all amounts then bearing interest under (i) the Term SOFR Rate Option shall be
converted at the expiration of the then current Term SOFR Interest Period(s) to the Base Rate Option and (ii) the Daily SOFR
Rate Option shall be converted to the Base Rate Option immediately.
In addition, if,
after the date of this Note, the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation
or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on the Daily SOFR Rate or
the Term SOFR Rate, the Bank shall notify the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) the availability of the Term SOFR Rate Option and the Daily SOFR Rate Option shall
be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on all amounts then bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option or the Daily SOFR Rate
Option shall be converted to the Base Rate Option (i) in the case of Loans bearing interest at the Term SOFR Rate Option, either
(A) on the last day of the then current Term SOFR Interest Period(s) if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain or fund
loans based on the Term SOFR Rate to such day, or (B) immediately if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans
based on the Term SOFR Rate, in which event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14 hereof, the Borrowers
shall not be liable for any break funding liabilities, losses or expenses in respect of such early termination of such Term SOFR Interest
Period and (ii) in the case of Loans bearing interest at the Daily SOFR Rate Option, immediately if the Bank may not lawfully
continue to maintain or fund loans based on Daily SOFR.
- 8 -
9. Alternate
Daily CORRA Rate Provisions. If the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that a fundamental change
has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to Canadian Dollars (including, without limitation, change in
national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or controls), then the Bank shall give
notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
no longer exist, (a) the availability of the Daily CORRA Rate Option shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate for all
amounts then bearing interest under the Daily CORRA Rate Option shall be immediately converted to the Canadian Prime Rate Option.
In addition, if,
after the date of this Note, the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation
or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on Daily CORRA, the Bank
shall notify the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer apply, (a) the availability of the Daily CORRA Rate Option shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on all amounts
then bearing interest under the Daily CORRA Rate Option shall be immediately converted to the Canadian Prime Rate Option.
10. Conforming
Changes; Benchmark Replacement Provisions. The Bank shall have the right to make any technical, administrative or operational
changes from time to time that the Bank decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of SOFR or any other Benchmark
(as defined below) or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Bank in a manner substantially consistent with market practice
or in such other manner as the Bank decides is reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, any amendments implementing such technical, administrative or operational changes will become effective without any further
action or consent of the Borrower. The Bank shall provide notice to the Borrower of any such amendment reasonably promptly after such
amendment becomes effective.
If the applicable
interest rate under this Note is based on a Benchmark and the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that
(A) such Benchmark cannot be determined pursuant to its definition other than as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event (as defined
below), or (B) any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impracticable for the Bank to make or maintain or
fund loans based on that Benchmark, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (a) the availability of any Option based on that
Benchmark shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate for all amounts then bearing interest under such Option shall be converted
to the Base Rate Option either (i) on the last day of the then current applicable interest period(s) if the Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain or fund loans based on that Benchmark to such day, or (ii) immediately if the Bank may not lawfully continue
to maintain or fund loans based on that Benchmark.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive)
that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to a Benchmark, the Bank may amend this Note to replace such Benchmark with
a Benchmark Replacement; and any such amendment shall be in writing, shall specify the date that the Benchmark Replacement is effective
and will not require any further action or consent of the Borrower. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, amounts bearing interest
with reference to a Benchmark will continue to bear interest with reference to such Benchmark as long as such Benchmark is available,
and otherwise such amounts automatically will bear interest at the Base Rate Option.

For purposes of
this section, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
“Benchmark”

“Benchmark
Replacement” means, for any Benchmark, the sum of (a) an alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may
be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case that has been selected by the Bank as the replacement for such Benchmark giving

sector or any official sector-sponsored committee or working group, for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities at such time; provided
that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will
be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Note and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark
Transition Event” means a public statement or publication by or on behalf of the administrator of a Benchmark, the regulatory
supervisor of such administrator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, NYFRB, an insolvency official or resolution authority
with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over
the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such
Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that at the time of such statement or publication there is no successor administrator
that will continue to provide such Benchmark or (b) such Benchmark is or will no longer be representative.
11. Other
Payment Terms. If any payment under this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
The Borrowers hereby authorizes the Bank to charge the Borrowers’ deposit account at the Bank for any payment when due under this
Note or any other Loan Document. Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), accrued
interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.
All payments due
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imports, deductions,
charges or withholdings imposed by any jurisdiction or taxing authority, domestic or foreign, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding (i) taxes imposed on the Bank’s net income and (ii) taxes imposed on the Bank’s net income and franchise
taxes imposed on the Bank, by the jurisdiction of the Bank’s lending office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).
If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph) the Bank will receive an amount equal to the sum the Bank would have received
had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and (ii) the Borrowers agree to pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and promptly provide to the Bank the official receipt
or other document evidencing such payment. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or document taxes or any
other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery
or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). If any Taxes
or Other Taxes required to be paid by the Borrowers hereunder are not paid and are imposed on and paid by the Bank, the Borrowers shall
indemnify the Bank and reimburse the Bank for the amount of such payment, together with any interest, penalties and expenses in connection
therewith, whether or not such tax shall have been correctly or legally imposed. Such reimbursement (together with interest at the Default

be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Bank makes written demand therefor.

Payments; Default Rate. If the Borrowers fail to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant
to the provisions of this Note within 15 calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrowers also shall pay to the Bank a late charge
equal to the lesser of 5% of the amount of such payment or C$100.00 (the “Late Charge”). Such 15-day period shall
not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise,
and at the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof,
amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not
judgment shall be entered on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of
defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the
Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and
expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the
Bank of carrying a loan that is in default. The Borrowers agree that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just
compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated
with certainty and without difficulty.

loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any amounts hereunder (or any part thereof) bearing
interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option, the Daily SOFR Rate Option or the Daily CORRA Rate Option) which the Bank sustains or incurs
as a consequence of either (i) the Borrowers’ failure to make a payment on the due date thereof, (ii) the Borrowers’
revocation (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or in part of any notice given to Bank to request, convert,
renew or prepay any amounts bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option, the Daily SOFR Rate Option or the Daily CORRA Rate Option,
or (iii) the Borrowers’ payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, after acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise)
or conversion of any amounts bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option, the Daily SOFR Rate Option or the Daily CORRA Rate Option
on a day other than the regularly scheduled due date therefor. A notice as to any amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph given to

such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without
any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

19. Indemnity.
The Borrowers agree to indemnify each of the Bank, each legal entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with the Bank, and each of their respective directors, officers and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”), and to
defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
all fees and charges of internal or external counsel with whom any Indemnified Party may consult and all expenses of litigation and preparation
therefor) (each, a “Claim”) which any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any person, entity or governmental authority (including any person or entity claiming derivatively on behalf of the Borrowers),
in connection with or arising out of or relating to the matters referred to in this Note or in the other Loan Documents or the use of
any advance hereunder, whether (a) arising from or incurred in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
by any Borrower, or (b) arising out of or resulting from any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation, pending
or threatened, whether based on statute, regulation or order, or tort, or contract or otherwise, before any court or governmental authority;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Claim that is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been solely attributable to an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Note, payment of any
amounts hereunder and the assignment of any rights hereunder. The Borrowers may participate at their expense in the defense of any such
action or claim.
20. Miscellaneous.
All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”)
must be in writing (except as may be agreed otherwise above with respect to borrowing requests or as otherwise provided in this Note)
and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may agree. Without limiting the foregoing,
first-class mail, postage prepaid, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for
giving Notices. In addition, the parties agree that Notices may be sent electronically to any electronic address provided by a party
from time to time. Notices may be sent to a party’s address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to
the other for such purpose in accordance with this paragraph. No delay or omission on the Bank’s part to exercise any right or
power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Bank’s
action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of
any other rights or remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity. No modification, amendment or waiver
of, or consent to any departure by the Borrowers from, any provision of this Note will be effective unless made in a writing signed by
the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. The Borrowers
agree to pay on demand, to the extent permitted by law, all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in the enforcement of its rights
in this Note and in any security therefor, including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of the Bank’s counsel. If
any provision of this Note is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court, all the other provisions of this
Note will remain in full force and effect. The Borrowers and all other makers and indorsers of this Note hereby forever waive presentment,
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, and any other notice of
any kind. The Borrowers also waive all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. If this Note is executed by more than
one Borrower, the obligations of such persons or entities hereunder will be joint and several. This Note shall bind the each Borrower
and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and
its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign this Note in whole or in part without the Bank’s
written consent and the Bank may assign this Note in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of Section 10.10 of the Loan
Agreement.

21. Governing
Law and Venue. This Note has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made in the State of New York.
This Note will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the Bank and the Borrowers
determined in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, excluding its conflict of laws rules, including without limitation the
Electronic Transactions Act (or equivalent) in effect in the State of New York (or, to the extent controlling, the laws of the United
States Of America, including without limitation the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act). Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the
United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; provided that nothing contained
in this Note will prevent the Bank from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights against any Borrower
individually, against any security or against any property of any Borrower within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic
jurisdiction. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Bank and
the Borrowers. Each Borrower waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted
under this Note.
22. Commercial
Purpose. Each Borrower represents that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is being incurred by such Borrower solely for
the purpose of acquiring or carrying on a business, professional or commercial activity, and not for personal, family or household purposes.
23. USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires
all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower that opens an account. What this means:
when any Borrower opens an account, the Bank will ask for the business name, business address, taxpayer identifying number and other
information that will allow the Bank to identify such Borrower, such as organizational documents. For some businesses and organizations,
the Bank may also need to ask for identifying information and documentation relating to certain individuals associated with the business
or organization.
24. Representation
by Counsel. Each Borrower hereby represents that it has been represented by competent
counsel of its choice, or has knowingly waived its right to use and retain counsel, in the negotiation and execution of this Note and
the other Loan Documents; that it has read and fully understood the terms hereof; that each Borrower and any retained counsel have been
afforded an opportunity to review, negotiate and modify the terms of this Note and the other Loan Documents; and that it intends to be
bound hereby. In accordance with the foregoing, the general rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities in a contract
are to be resolved against the party drafting the contract shall not be employed in the construction and interpretation of this Note
or any other Loan Document.
25. Authorization
to Obtain Credit Reports. By signing below, each person, who is signing in his or her individual capacity, requests and provides
written authorization to the Bank or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee hereof) to obtain such individual’s personal
credit profile from one or more national credit bureaus. This authorization extends to obtaining a credit profile in (i) considering
an application for credit that is evidenced, guaranteed or secured by this document, (ii) assessing creditworthiness and (iii) considering
extensions of credit, including on an ongoing basis, as necessary for the purposes of (a) update, renewal or extension of such credit
or additional credit, (b) reviewing, administering or collecting the resulting account and (c) reporting on the repayment and
satisfaction of such credit obligations. By signing below, such individual further ratifies and confirms his or her prior requests and
authorizations with respect to the matters set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not apply to persons signing
below in their capacities as officers or other authorized representatives of entities, organizations or governmental bodies.
26. Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures and Records. This Note and any other Loan Document may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and
by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, the Borrowers agree that this Note, the Loan Documents, any amendments thereto, and any other information, notice,
signature card, agreement or authorization related thereto (each, a “Communication”) may, at the Bank’s option,
be in the form of an electronic record. Any Communication may, at the Bank’s option, be signed or executed using electronic signatures.
For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Bank of
a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format) for transmission,
delivery and/or retention.

Fees.
(a) Upfront
Fee. The Borrowers agrees to pay an upfront fee (the “Upfront Fee”) in an amount equal to $28,872.00 of the

by the difference for each such day between the aggregate principal amount of this Note (as may be adjusted from time to time) minus
the aggregate amount of all outstanding advances on such day. The Unused Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
paid on the actual number of days elapsed. The Borrowers hereby authorize and direct the Bank to charge the Borrowers’ deposit
account with the Bank for each Unused Fee on or after the date it is due.
30. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. Each Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights such Borrower may have

and Restatement. This Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note amends and restates

Note”). This Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note renews and continues the Original Note without any novation,
discharge or satisfaction of the underlying indebtedness thereunder or any collateral security therefor, all of which Indebtedness and
collateral security remain outstanding under this Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note.
