4. | Loan Drawdowns |
(A) The Borrower shall (i) draw down the First Drawdown Amount on the execution date of this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter shall be entitled, at its discretion, to utilize the remainder of the Loan or any portion thereof during the Availability Period in up to eight (8) Drawdowns, as follows:
4.1. | The first Drawdown in the amount of USD One Million and Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (USD 1,500,000) (the “First Drawdown Amount”) shall be drawn by the Borrower upon the execution hereof (the “First Drawdown”). The First Drawdown Amount will be deposited directly by the Lender into the Company’s bank account detailed in Schedule 4.1 hereto and the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a wire confirmation thereof upon the Effective Date. Without derogating from Xxxxxx’s responsibilities under this Agreement, including for avoidance of doubt its obligation to provide the First Drawdown Amount it is agreed that a sum of USD Four Hundred Eighty Thousand (USD 480,000) from the First Drawdown Amount shall be provided by M.R.M. Merhavit Holding and Management Ltd on behalf of the Lender. |
4.2. | Each of the additional eight (8) Drawdowns in the amount of up to USD Five Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand, Five Hundred (USD 562,500) each (the “Remaining Drawdown Amount(s)”) may be drawn down on the seventh (7th) day of each calendar month commencing on March 7, 2024 during the Availability Period (the “Remaining Drawdown Payment Date(s)”). It is hereby agreed that failure to meet the Remaining Drawdown Amounts, if Borrower elects to draw, upon the Remaining Drawdown Payment Date(s) shall be considered as a material breach of this Agreement. |
5
4.3. | Notwithstanding, if during the Availability Period, the Borrower completes a One Million Fundraise, the Lender shall defer payment of the applicable Remaining Drawdown Amount, in an amount equal to the amount raised by the Company in the One Million Fundraise (the “Deferred Drawdown”) such that the Lender shall not deliver payment of the Deferred Drawdown on the original Remaining Drawdown Payment Date, and such amount shall instead be delivered thirty (30) days following payment of the final Drawdown under the Remaining Drawdown Amounts (in other words, and for the avoidance of any doubt, the Deferred Drawdown shall be the final Remaining Drawdown Amount delivered by the Lender to the Borrower; if the One Million Fundraise was USD One Million One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand (USD 1.125 Million) then such number will represent the Deferred Drawdown and will delivered to the Borrower as the “last in line”). In such case, within three (3) Business Days from the closing date of the One Million Fundraise (for the avoidance of doubt, such closing date will be the closing date of the financing transaction that results in the Borrower meeting the One Million Fundraise), the Borrower shall return the checks underlying the Deferred Drawdown and the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower new check(s) dated to the new drawdown dates. |
(B) After the Borrower has drawn down the entire Loan (the “Loan End Date”), the Borrower shall be entitled to draw down the Additional Loan in two separate installments on each of the thirty (30) day and sixty (60) day anniversary of the Loan End Date (such that the Borrower may draw down up to USD Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD 750,000) on the thirty (30) day anniversary of the Loan End Date and up to USD Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD 750,000) on the sixty (60) day anniversary of the Loan End Date), and if not drawn down within the foregoing schedule then the availability of the Additional Loan will expire, by way of notifying the Lender in writing of its wish to exercise such right and call the Lender to wire such amount to Borrower’s bank account the details of which shall be provided by Borrower (and verified by phone by Lender) within seven (7) days as of such notice. Failure to extend the amounts of the Additional Loan, if Borrower elects to draw, pursuant to this Clause shall be considered as a material breach of this Agreement.
(C) If following the Loan End Date, the Borrower implements a cost reduction plan whereby the Borrower’s Ongoing Expenses will not exceed USD Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand (USD 550,000), as shall be confirmed by a certificate in the form attached as Schedule 4.3(c) hereto executed by the Borrower’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial officer, Borrower shall be entitled to draw down the Cost-Reduction Loan in two separate monthly installments on each of the thirty (30) day and sixty (60) day anniversaries of the Loan End Date (such that the Borrower may draw down up to USD Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD 750,000 ) on the thirty (30) day anniversary of the Loan End Date and up to USD Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD 750,000) on the sixty (60) day anniversary of the Loan End Date), and if not drawn down within the foregoing schedule then the availability of the Cost-Reduction Loan will expire, by way of notifying the Lender in writing of its wish to exercise such right and call the Lender to wire such amount to Borrower’s bank account the details of which shall be provided by Borrower (and verified by delivery of wire confirmation by Xxxxxx) within 7 days as of such notice. Failure to extend the amounts of the Cost Reduction Loan, if Borrower elects to draw, pursuant to this Clause shall be considered as a material breach of this Agreement.

5. | Drawdowns of the Loan |
5.1. | Lender shall, upon the Agreement Date, deposit with the Borrower eight (8) checks dated as of the Remaining Drawdown Payment Dates, as per Clause 4(A)4.2 above, each in the amount of the Remaining Drawdown Amounts, which the Borrower shall have the right to deposit in its bank account and the Lender warrants and undertakes the checks will be honored by the bank and allow for cash payment by Xxxxxx (and receipt by Borrower) of such portions of the Loan on their applicable due dates. In the event that the Lender defaults payment of the Loan, and does not remedy such default within three (3) business days of such default, including on paying any Remaining Drawdown Amount on such date according to the Remaining Drawdown Payment Dates, then without derogating from any other remedy available to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law an amount of USD One Million and Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (USD 1,500,000) shall be deducted from the outstanding Actual Loan Amount as agreed upon penalty. |
5.2. | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower receives and accepts an offer for a new credit facility with commercial terms more favorable than the terms provided herein (the “Alternate Credit Facility”), as shall be determined by the Borrower’s board of directors at its sole discretion at the time such Alternate Credit Facility is proposed (the “Board”), Xxxxxx’s Funding obligations to extend the aggregated amounts under the Agreement will decrease only with respect to the amount actually received by the Company under the Alternate Credit Facility and the Lender shall have the right to request repayment of the Actual Loan Amount (using such funds actually received under the Alternate Credit Facility). It is hereby clarified that accepting an Alternate Credit Facility by the Company shall not release Xxxxxx’s obligation to extend the remaining Funds going forward and shall only decrease the aggregate Funding obligation taken as a whole (i.e., if the Company receives USD Two Million (USD 2,000,000) pursuant to the Alternate Credit Facility during the Availability Period than the Lender’s funding obligation under the Loan, in aggregate, shall be reduced to USD Four Million (USD 4,000,000)). It is further agreed that in any event the Lender shall remain liable to provide any amounts which were not actually received due to the Alternate Credit Facility as result of failure of the alternate creditor. Subject to the signing of the Alternate Credit Facility, the Borrower shall have the right to convert pursuant to Clause 11. |
5.3. | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Borrower shall complete a Five Million Fundraise, or, the Company draws down US$7,500,000 or more under the Alternate Credit Facility, then in each case: (a) (1) no further Drawdown can be made thereafter, and the Lender shall be discharged of all obligations under this Agreement (other than the obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement under Clause 17.8), including termination of the requirement to make available any funds contemplated under the Funding, from that moment on, and (2) any checks not deposited (as contemplated in Clause 5.1) shall be returned by Borrower to Lender as soon as possible; and (b) Xxxxxx’s obligation under Clause 5.2 shall terminate. |
7
6. | Interest |
6.1. | Subject to Cluse 11 below, interest accrued on the Actual Loan Amount up to and as of the Five Million Raise shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lender immediately following the completion of the Five Million Fundraise, as detailed and adjusted in Clause 7 below. For clarity, during the Grace Period, the Borrower shall not be obligated to repay either the principal amount of the Loan or the Interest. |
6.2. | Interest shall be calculated on a daily basis in accordance with the number of days which have actually elapsed until payment thereof, divided by 365. Any sum under the Funding shall bear Interest from the date it had been utilized to the Borrower. |
7. | Repayment |
Following the Effective Date and without derogating from Xxxxxxxx’s right to convert as detailed in Clause 11 below, the Borrower shall repay the Actual Loan Amount and any Interest accrued thereon outstanding on the date thereof by way of repayment to the Lender of 30% of the aggregate amount of any equity financing transaction(s) completed (in one or more transactions) consummated after the Effective Date resulting in the receipt of USD Five Million (USD 5,000,000) provided however that solely for the purpose of repayment such amount will increase in each month as of March 31, 2024 and through the Availability Period by additional USD Five Hundred Thousand (USD 500,000, i.e. upon April 30, 2024 the repayment trigger shall be aggregate equity financing of USD Five Million Five Hundred Thousand (USD 5,500,000)). The Actual Loan Amount and any Interest accrued thereon shall be continually repaid to the Lender upon the closing of each such financing transaction at a rate of 30% of the aggregate gross proceeds of each such transaction until the Loan is repaid in full. The repayment of the Actual Loan Amount shall be on the last day of each calendar month during which the sources for repayment specified above were actually received by the Company.
8. | Taxes |
8.1. | Any tax consequences arising from the grant or repayment of the Funding, shall be borne solely by the Lender. Borrower is allowed to withhold tax at source from any repayment it shall pay to the Lender pursuant to applicable law, unless Borrower has provided it with a valid tax exemption issued by the Israeli Tax Authority providing otherwise. |
8.2. | The Borrower shall pay VAT, where applicable, on any payment paid by it against an applicable tax invoice. |
9. | Prepayment |
The Borrower shall be entitled to voluntary prepay the Actual Loan Amount and the Interest in whole or in part, prior to their applicable due dates without the prior written approval of the Lender. In such case Borrower shall give the Lender at least three (3) days’ prior written notice of the prepayment which shall specify the: (i) date upon which the prepayment is to be made, and (ii) the amount to be prepaid as aforesaid.
10. | Priority |
The outstanding debt under the Funding shall be subordinate to any other debt of the Borrower until the Borrower has raised USD Five Million in the aggregate (in one or more transactions) following the Effective Date.
8

For avoidance of doubt, the amount so converted shall be taken into account as part of the Five Million Fundraise or as part of a financing pursuant to Clause 7 above. Borrower right to convert as stipulated above shall be limited to the USD Five Million Fundraise, including the converted amount, and shall expire thereafter (i.e. if Borrower completes a USD Four Million (USD 4,000,000) fundraise than Borrower may convert up to USD One Million (USD 1,000,000).
12. | Warrant |
12.1. | Concurrently with the execution hereof and in consideration of Lenders obligations herein, the Borrower shall issue the Lender the warrant, in the form attached hereto as Annex 0, representing an aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) of USD Seven Million and Five Hundred Thousand (USD 7,500,000) (the “Warrant”). |
12.2. | In the event of an adjustment(s) to the Exercise Price of the Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Warrant following a Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Warrant), then the Company shall issue to the Lender an additional warrant (the “Additional Warrant”) in substantially the same form as the Warrant to purchase such number of ordinary shares of the Company so that the aggregate exercise price payable under the Warrant and the Additional Warrant, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant), shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price under the Warrant immediately prior to the date of such Dilutive Issuance. |
13. | Transfer or Resale |
