Exhibit 10.1

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of September 24, 2021 by and among INNOVATUS LIFE SCIENCES LENDING FUND I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”), and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 hereof or otherwise a party hereto from time to time, and ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and ROCKWELL TRANSPORTATION, INC., a Michigan corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“RTI”) (individually and collectively, jointly and severally, “Borrower”).

WHEREAS, Collateral Agent, Borrower and Lenders have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Lenders have provided to Borrower certain loans in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; and

WHEREAS, Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement as provided herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent hereby agree as follows:

1. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2. Section 2.2(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(d)       Permitted Prepayment of Term Loan. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven (7) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of such Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Fee, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other Obligations that are due and payable, including, without limitation, Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Borrower shall also have the option to prepay part of Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven (7) Business Days prior to such prepayment, (ii) prepays such part of the Term Loans in a principal amount of Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Million Dollars ( $1,000,000.00) in excess thereof, and (iii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of outstanding principal of such Term Loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the applicable Final Fee, and (C) all other Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts, and (D) the applicable Prepayment Fee with respect to the portion of such Term Loans being prepaid. For the purposes of clarity, any partial prepayment shall be applied pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under each Term Loan, and shall be applied pro-rata within each Term Loan tranche to reduce amortization payments under Section 2.2(b) on a pro-rata basis.

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, commencing on December 1, 2021, Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00) of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement in ten consecutive equal monthly installments of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) each, provided Borrower shall also pay to the Lenders on the date of each such prepayment, in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of all other Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. No Prepayment Fee shall be due with respect to the prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph and the Final Fee with respect thereto shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or the earliest of Maturity Date, the acceleration of any Term Loan or the earlier prepayment of all outstanding Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or (d). For the purposes of clarity, all prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under each Term Loan, and shall be applied pro-rata within each Term Loan tranche to reduce amortization payments under Section 2.2(b) on a pro-rata basis.

3. Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

6.13       Liquidity Covenant.

(a)At all times when the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding is less than or equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), Borrower shall at all times maintain in a Collateral Account subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent a cash balance of not less than an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Minimum Cash Amount or (ii) the Minimum Cash Elected Amount.

(b)At all times when the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding is greater Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), Borrower shall at all times maintain in a Collateral Account subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent a cash balance of not less than an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Minimum Cash Amount or (ii) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

4. Section 13 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Prepayment Fee” therein as follows:

“Prepayment Fee” is, with respect to any Term Loan subject to prepayment prior to the Maturity Date, whether by mandatory or voluntary prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (but except as expressly set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.2(d)), an additional fee payable to the Lenders in amount equal to:

(i)for a prepayment made on or after the Effective Date and through and including the date which is the first anniversary of the Effective Date, three percent (3.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid; provided, however, a prepayment may only be made on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or Section 6.14 and no voluntary prepayment may be during such period;

(ii)for a prepayment made after the date which is the first anniversary of the Effective Date and through and including the date which is the second anniversary of the Effective Date, two percent (2.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid;

(iii)for a prepayment made after the date which is the second anniversary of the Effective Date through and including the date which is the third anniversary of the Effective Date, one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loan prepaid; and

(iv)for a prepayment made after the date which is the third anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date, zero percent (0.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loan prepaid.

Furthermore, if Borrower elects to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on or before September 24, 2023, the Prepayment Fee shall also include five percent (5.00%), in addition the amounts set forth above, of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid.
