EXHIBIT 10.1

FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

This Forbearance Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 13, 2025 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Lender”), and AIM ImmunoTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Note (defined below).

A. Borrower previously sold and issued to Lender that certain Promissory Note with an original issuance date of February 16, 2024 in the original principal amount of $3,301,250.00 (the “Note”) pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated February 16, 2024 by and between Lender and Borrower (the “Purchase Agreement,” and together with the Note and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the “Transaction Documents”).

B. On April 4, 2025, Borrower was suspended from NYSE American to OTC Markets (the “Default”).

C. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms, conditions and understandings expressed in this Agreement, to refrain and forbear from exercising and enforcing remedies against Borrower for the Default as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals and Definitions. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Agreement are true and accurate, are contractual in nature, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

2. Forbearance. Subject to the terms, conditions and understandings contained in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies relating to the Default (the “Forbearance”). In consideration of Lender’s grant of the Forbearance, its fees incurred in preparing this Agreement and other accommodations set forth herein, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a forbearance fee equal to one percent (1%) of the Outstanding Balance of the Note (the “Forbearance Fee”). The Forbearance Fee is hereby added to the Outstanding Balance of the Note as of the date of this Amendment. Lender and Borrower further agree that the Forbearance Fee is deemed to be fully earned as of the date hereof, is nonrefundable under any circumstance, and that the Forbearance Fee for the Note tacks back to the respective issuance date of the Note for Rule 144 purposes. Borrower represents and warrants that as of the date hereof the Outstanding Balance of the Note, following the application of the Forbearance Fee, is $2,483,861.60.

3. Ratification of the Note. The Note shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Borrower acknowledges that it is unconditionally obligated to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Note and represents that such obligation is not subject to any defenses, rights of offset or counterclaims. No forbearance or waiver other than as expressly set forth herein may be implied by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment to, any right, power or remedy of Lender under the Note or the Transaction Documents, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

4. Release of prior defaults. Lender hereby releases the Borrower and its affiliates from all defaults under the Transaction Document through the date of this Agreement. Borrower confirms that, as a result, no Default Interest is due.

5. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Borrower has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action.

(b) All understandings, representations, warranties and recitals contained or expressed in this Agreement are true, accurate, complete, and correct in all respects; and no such understanding, representation, warranty, or recital fails or omits to state or otherwise disclose any material fact or information necessary to prevent such understanding, representation, warranty, or recital from being misleading. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has been induced in part to enter into this Agreement based upon Lender’s justifiable reliance on the truth, accuracy, and completeness of all understandings, representations, warranties, and recitals contained in this Agreement. There is no fact known to Borrower or which should be known to Borrower which Borrower has not disclosed to Lender on or prior to the date hereof which would or could materially and adversely affect the understandings of Lender expressed in this Agreement or any representation, warranty, or recital contained in this Agreement.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any of the terms, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement shall in any manner release, impair, lessen, modify, waive, or otherwise affect the liability and obligations of Borrower under the terms of the Note or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(d) Borrower has no defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with, the transactions contemplated hereby, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the execution of this Agreement and occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun in accordance with, pursuant to, or by virtue of any of the terms or conditions of the Transaction Documents. To the extent any such defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action exist or existed, such defenses, rights, claims, counterclaims, actions and causes of action are hereby waived, discharged and released. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this Agreement by Lender shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or admission by Lender of the existence of any claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any claim or liability may be asserted.
