Waiver and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty
This Waiver and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (herein, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 7, 2022 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”), by and among Agile Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as a lender and as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).
R e c i t a l s:
A. The Lenders have extended credit to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of February 10, 2020 (as amended by that certain Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty dated as of February 26, 2021, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by this Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. Pursuant to Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to deliver annual financial statements that are not subject to any “‘going concern’ or like qualification or exception” (the “Going Concern Requirement”).
C. The Borrower has advised the Administrative Agent that it will not be able to deliver financial statements for the year-ending December 31, 2021 that satisfy the Going Concern Requirement (the “Specified Obligation”).
D. The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to waive the Specified Obligation.
E. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to grant such waiver in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
F. The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement.

1. Incorporation of Recitals; Defined Terms. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Recitals set forth above are true and correct in all material respects. The defined terms in the Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

2. Limited Waiver. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, pursuant to Section 13.04 of the Credit Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive the Specified Obligation.

3. Second Amendment to Existing Credit Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by incorporating the changes shown on the marked copy of the Existing Credit Agreement attached hereto as Annex A.

Attached hereto as Annex B is a clean copy of the Credit Agreement conformed through the Second Amendment.
4. Acknowledgement of Liens. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising out of or in any manner relating to the Loan Documents shall continue to be secured by the Liens granted as security therefor in the Loan Documents, to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents heretofore executed and delivered by the Borrower; and nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the Liens created and provided for thereby as to the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.
5. Representations And Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(A) After giving effect to this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article 7 of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof; provided that to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided further that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates.
(B) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of, and duly executed and delivered by, the Borrower.

(A) This Agreement constitutes a Loan Document. On and after the date hereof, words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Agreement.
(B) Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(C) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Documents and all of the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder and the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereunder remain in full force and effect. This Agreement is not a novation nor is it to be construed as a release, waiver or modification of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, except as specifically set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties agree to comply with all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Loan Documents except to the extent such compliance is irreconcilably inconsistent with the express provisions of this Agreement.
