The Company shall repay the Lenders their respective portions of the Loan, as set forth below. The Loan, shall be due and payable on the date on which the invoice issued to Conduit Ltd.

Each payment hereunder by the Company shall be made to the Lenders in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account(s) as each Lender may designate in writing. All payments to be made by the Company to the Lenders shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding unless the Company is required by law to make such a payment subject to a deduction or withholding, in which case the Company shall, promptly on becoming aware of such requirement, notify each Lender of it.







 



	
  

	
3.3.

	
Immediately upon full repayment of the Loan, the Company shall be released from the repayment obligation hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of consummation of (i) an initial public offering of the Company's securities ("IPO")(ii)  the closing of an M&A Transaction (as defined below) or (iii) a Financing Transaction (as defined below), prior to the Repayment Date, then each of the Lenders shall be entitled to receive in cash, at the consummation of the IPO, M&A Transaction or Financing Transaction, the Portion paid by such Lender plus 30% of such Lender's Portion, as full and final repayment of the Loan Amount (it being clarified that upon an M&A Transaction, IPO or Financing Transaction, the right to receive Interest in connection with the Loan Amount shall automatically cease).











  





 











  






 


For the purposes of Section 3.4, an "M&A Transaction shall be defined as (a) a consolidation, merger or reorganization of the Company with or into, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or substantially all of the Company's issued and outstanding shares, to any other company, or any other entity or person, other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) a transaction or series of transactions in which a person or entity acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company; or (c) a transfer or grant of an exclusive license over all or substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property or that of its wholly-owned subsidiary out of the ordinary course of business.

4.

	
SECURITY







 


The Company shall place a first priority lien on each Conduit Invoice and the proceeds due/and payable thereunder (the "Security"), as security for the Loan Amount, which charge shall be terminated immediately upon the repayment in full of the Loan Amount in accordance with the terms herein. The Security shall be exercisable in the event of an Event of Acceleration or failure to repay the Loan Amount in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Conduit Invoice shall be less than the Minimum Invoice Amount, the Company may provide a first priority lean on a separate customer invoice in addition to the Security (the "Additional Security"); provided that (i) Lenders who have loaned a majority of the Loan Amount agree to such Additional Security and (ii) Kreos agrees to  the creation of such Additional Security in favor of the Lenders.


 



	
  

	
5.

	
ACCELERATION







 



	
  

	
5.1

	
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Amount, shall be due and payable on the occurrence of an Event of Acceleration, unless otherwise provided for below. The Company shall immediately inform the Lenders and Kreos upon an Event of Acceleration and shall repay the Loan Amount and Interest thereon in accordance with the written instructions of the Lenders who provided a majority of the Loan Amount and Kreos.







 



	
  

	
5.2

	
For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Event of Acceleration" shall be deemed to exist upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against the Company of any petition in liquidation or any petition for relief under the provisions of any applicable legislation for the relief of debtors and the continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period of ninety (90) days or more; or (iii) the temporary or permanent appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator to take possession of a substantial portion of the property or assets of the Company without dismissal for a period of ninety (90) days or more.
