The ABL Facility bears interest either at the Canadian prime rate plus 2% or CORRA and SOFR rate plus 2%, has a standby fee of 0.25% on unused amounts of the ABL Facility and is secured by a general security agreement covering all present and after acquired inventory and accounts receivable balances and postponements of claims from related parties. In addition to the extension of favorable terms, amendments have been provided that will reduce professional fees associated with the administration of the ABL Facility, and an additional default provision associated to the successful renegotiation or refinancing of our current subordinated debt loan six months prior to its expiration has been added.
