THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 29, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into between Biomerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), and each of the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Buyer” and collectively, the “Buyers”).

WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell to the Buyers, and each Buyer wishes to purchase from Seller, the Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Buyers agreed to deliver the Purchase Price to the Seller on the Effective Date in exchange for a secured promissory term note, in substantially the same form as Exhibit B hereto (the “Note”), issued by the Seller to the Lead Buyer (as defined in Exhibit A) that is forgivable upon the transfer of the Shares to the Seller;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held remotely by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts) on the date hereof, or such other date as the Buyers and Seller may mutually agree upon in writing.

SECURED PROMISSORY TERM NOTE

 

$500,000.00

 

May 29, 2026

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BIOMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Zack Irani (AKA Izhak Cohen) (the “Holder” and together with any subsequent holder hereof, “Holder”), at Holder’s address set forth in Schedule I hereto or such other place as Holder may direct, the principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) (the “Original Issuance Amount”), plus (but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.1.2 and 3.2 below) interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at the interest rate hereinafter set forth, plus any charges, expenses, premiums or fees set forth herein (collectively, the “Obligations”).

 

This Note is being issued as consideration for the transactions contemplated under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Borrower and the Holder and his associates, pursuant to which, among other things, the Holder and his associates are acquiring all of Borrower’s rights, title and interest in and to 78,750 shares (the “Shares”), of Diagnosis S.A., a medical products producer and distributor headquartered in Białystok, Poland.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder under this Note and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, to which Borrower, by its execution and delivery of this Note, and Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agree as follows:

 

Article I. TERMS OF THE LOAN. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, the Holder shall be deemed to have made a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Original Issuance Amount, plus, if applicable, the amount of any Interest (as defined below) accrued thereon. The Loan may be repaid at any time as provided herein. Once repaid, the Loan may not be reborrowed.

Promissory Note - Final
 

 

Article II. INTEREST RATE; FEES.

 

Interest Rate.

 

Borrower shall pay the Holder interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Note. Commencing on the date hereof, interest will accrue on the Loan at the Stated Interest Rate (as defined below) and shall be paid by adding such interest to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan (“Interest”); provided, that all accrued and unpaid interest, in addition to the Original Issuance Amount, shall be payable in full in immediately available funds on the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).

 

The interest rate applicable to the Loan equals eight percent (8%) per annum, commencing on the date hereof (the “Stated Interest Rate”).

 

Calculation Basis. Interest shall be computed based on the actual number of days in a 365-day year.

 

Adjustment for Impositions on Loan Payments. The Loan and interest thereon shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer to Holder, or as Holder shall designate from time to time. All payments and reimbursements to Holder made hereunder shall be free and clear of and without deduction for all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever, excluding Taxes to the extent imposed on Holder’s net income. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable under hereunder to Holder, then the sum payable to Holder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

 

Article III. NOTE PAYMENTS; PREPAYMENT RIGHTS; RIGHT OF SET-OFF.

 

Payment Dates. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if applicable, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay, at any time, all or any part of the Loan without penalty or premium prior to the Maturity Date by paying the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan together with any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

11
Promissory Note - Final
 

 

Article IV. SECURITY INTEREST.

 

Pledge of Securities. To secure the Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Holder a continuing lien and security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Shares (the “Pledge”).

 

Exercise of Rights. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Note, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise its rights with respect to the Pledge, including the exercise of any and all rights and remedies available to the Holder as a secured party under applicable laws.

 

Termination; Release. This Note and the security interest in the Shares created hereby and under any other document entered into in connection with this Note, shall terminate automatically when either (i) all of the outstanding Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent obligations as to which no claim has been asserted hereunder) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, or (ii) the completion of the Transfer (as defined below).

 

Article V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; FORGIVENESS OF OUSTANDING BALANCE.

 

Representations and Warranties. By Holder’s acceptance of this Note, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that, as of the date hereof:

 

Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated in and made part of this Note mutatis mutandis, with the same force and effect as if directly restated herein in their entirety.

 

Forgiveness of Outstanding Balance. In the event that the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is completed (the “Transfer”), and provided that (i) such Transfer has been completed in full and (ii) Holder has received good and marketable title to all 78,750 Shares free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, then the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in excess of the Minimum Interest Amount (as defined below) will be forgiven in full immediately as of such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the forgiveness of interest reduce the total interest payable to Holder below an amount equal to sixty (60) days of interest accrued on the Original Issuance Amount at the Stated Interest Rate (the “Minimum Interest Amount”), which Minimum Interest Amount shall be payable by Borrower to Holder in immediately available funds on or before the date of the Transfer.

 

12
Promissory Note - Final
 

 

Article VI. DEFAULT.

 

Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

Failure to Pay or Perform. Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts payable hereunder is not paid in full when due.

 

Bankruptcy.

 

Borrower (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of such person, as the case may be, or of all or a substantial part of its assets, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) files a petition or an answer seeking a reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law, (v) performs any other act of bankruptcy, or (vi) files an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against such Person in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or

Failure to Observe Covenants. Borrower fails to observe any condition, obligation or agreement under this Note (other than such failures and defaults constituting an Event of Default pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6.1) or any other agreement, instrument or document executed in connection herewith (collectively the “Note Documents”) and as to any such default that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the fifteen (15) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such fifteen (15) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which, when taken together with the original fifteen (15) day cure period, shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Loans shall be made during such cure period).

 

Invalidation of Note. At any time after the execution and delivery of this Note and the other Note Documents, (i) this Note or any Note document ceases to be in full force and effect, or shall be declared null and void or (ii) Borrower or any affiliate thereof shall contest in writing the validity or enforceability of this Note or any other Note Document in writing or deny in writing that it has any further liability.

 

13
Promissory Note - Final
 

 

Failure to Complete Transfer. The Transfer of the Shares as contemplated under the Purchase Agreement has not been completed Before September 10, 2026 (the “Transfer Deadline”), for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to any legal, regulatory, statutory, or corporate restriction on the transfer of the Shares under applicable law (including Polish law) or the articles of association or governing statute of Diagnosis S.A. Upon the occurrence of this Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.

 

Cross-Default with Purchase Agreement. Any material breach by Borrower of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under the Purchase Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note.

 

Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Holder may:

 

declare all or any portion of the unpaid Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and/or exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this Note or applicable law, including, without limitation, foreclosing on the Shares provided hereunder; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.1.2 above, the unpaid Loan and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of Holder. Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest and demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly agrees that this Note, or the payment of any portion of the Loan or interest hereunder, may be extended from time to time, without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower hereunder.

 

Article VII. [RESERVED].

 

Article VIII. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

14
Promissory Note - Final
 

 

Applicable Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction). Any dispute, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be adjudicated exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and each party hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in such courts.

 

Waiver of Jury Trial. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, BORROWER AND HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

 

Headings. The headings of the Sections, subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of reference and shall not be considered in construing their contents.

 

Severability. No determination by any court, governmental body or otherwise that any provision of this Note or any amendment hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of (a) any other such provision or (b) such provision in any circumstance not controlled by such determination. Each such provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by and shall be construed wherever possible as being consistent with, applicable Law.

 

No Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed to have waived the exercise of any right which it holds hereunder unless such waiver is made expressly and in writing. No delay or omission by Holder in exercising any such right (and no allowance by Holder to Borrower of an opportunity to cure a default in performing its obligations hereunder) shall be deemed a waiver of its future exercise. No such waiver made as to any instance involving the exercise of any such right shall be deemed a waiver as to any other such instance, or any other such right. Further, acceptance by Holder of all or any portion of any sum payable under, or partial performance of any covenant of, this Note, whether before, on, or after the due date of such payment or performance, shall not be a waiver of Holder’s right either to require prompt and full payment and performance when due of all other sums payable or obligations due thereunder or hereunder or to exercise any of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder.

 

Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the effective rate of interest on the Obligations shall not exceed the lawful maximum rate of interest permitted to be paid in the State of Delaware. If the interest charged under this Note results in an effective rate of interest higher than that lawfully permitted to be paid, then such charges shall be reduced by the least amount necessary to result in a permissible effective rate of interest and any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate already received and held by Holder shall be applied to a reduction of principal and not to the payment of interest. Borrower agrees that for the purpose of determining highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest.

 

Modification. This Note may be modified, amended, discharged or waived only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

 

Relationship. Borrower and Holder intend that the relationship between them shall be solely that of creditor and debtor. Nothing contained in this Note shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between Borrower and Holder.

 

Successors and Assigns Bound. The obligations set forth in this Note shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns. Each party to this Note may not assign or transfer any of its rights, interest, benefits or obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the other party.
