Recitals

 

A. As contemplated pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Aditxt made loans (the “Loans”) to Borrower pursuant to the Secured Credit Agreement dated as of August 27, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, the Second Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2021, the Third Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2021, the Fourth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2021, the Fifth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2021, and the Sixth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2021, the Forbearance Agreement and Seventh Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2022, and the Forbearance Agreement and Eighth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement dated of even date herewith (as may be further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). The Loans are secured by the collateral described in certain security documents entered into from time to time, as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement (the “Security Documents”).

 

B. The Maturity Date of the Loan (being January 31, 2021) was determined by reference to the expected date of initial closing under the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of failing to close the Initial Closing under the Share Exchange Agreement, Borrower failed to repay all of the Loans (including all principal, interest, fees and expenses thereon) on the Maturity Date (the “Existing Event”) as required by Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement. As a result, from and after February 1, 2022, interest has accrued and continues to accrue at the Default Rate (i.e. 13.00% per annum) until all Loans and other Obligations are repaid in full. As a result of the above, Lender agreed to forbear from enforcing its other rights and remedies in response to the occurrence of the Existing Event on the terms and conditions set forth in the Forbearance Agreement and Seventh Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2022 (the “February Forbearance Agreement”).

 

C. The Forbearance Period terminated as a result of the occurrence of certain Forbearance Defaults resulting from Borrower’s failure to pay the February 28, 2022 and March 5, 2022 payments as required pursuant to the February Forbearance Agreement. As a result of the occurrence of the Existing Event and the termination of the Forbearance Period pursuant to the February Forbearance Agreement, Aditxt is permitted to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents.

 

D Loan Parties have requested that Aditxt forbear from exercising its default rights and remedies in respect of the Existing Event in accordance with the terms of the Forbearance Agreement and Eighth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “March Forbearance Agreement”).

 

E. As a condition to entering into the March Forbearance Agreement, Revenue Sharing Entities are required to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Revenue Sharing Entities will receive substantial benefits under the March Forbearance Agreement.
