Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On September 25, 2026, CID HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BladeRanger Ltd. (TASE: BLRN) (“BladeRanger”) and Envoy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Envoy”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of Envoy’s outstanding capital stock (the “Acquisition”). The Purchase Agreement supersedes the Binding Summary of Principal Terms, dated September 14, 2026 (the “Term Sheet”), previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 16, 2026.
BladeRanger holds 100% of Envoy’s outstanding capital stock (135 shares of common stock).
Valuation and Consideration. At Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue an aggregate of 10,833,333 shares (the “Envoy-Side Shares”), valued at $65,000,000 based on a reference price of $6.00 per share (the “Reference Price”), consisting of: (i) 233,543 shares of Common Stock to BladeRanger, which represent 9.99% of shares outstanding immediately prior to Closing; and (ii) shares of newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”), of which 8,433,123 shares will be issued to BladeRanger . As discussed in more detail below, the holder (the “Envoy Convertible Noteholder”) of a $12.5 million convertible promissory note issued by Envoy (the “Envoy Convertible Note”) will be entitled to receive 2,166,667 shares of Series C Preferred, subject to Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s execution of a joinder agreement to the Purchase Agreement.
The Series C Preferred will have a stated value of $6.00 per share, be non-voting (except for protective provisions), and be convertible one-for-one into Common Stock, subject, prior to stockholder approval, to a 19.99% beneficial ownership limitation including shares issuable upon conversion of the H Capital Note and shares issued to BladeRanger at Closing (the “Series C Blocker”). Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the Series C Blocker will cease to apply and all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred will automatically convert one-for-one into Common Stock. The Series C Preferred will have a liquidation preference equal to the greater of its stated value or as-converted value and will not be redeemable.
BladeRanger-Funded Obligations. BladeRanger will receive additional shares of Common Stock or Series C Preferred at $6.00 per share for amounts it incurs, accrues, pays, funds or otherwise satisfies from the Term Sheet date through Closing in connection with the operation or funding of Envoy or any indebtedness of the Company or Envoy paid, funded or otherwise satisfied by BladeRanger; provided that (i) amounts relating to the operation, funding or indebtedness of Envoy shall not exceed $500,000 and (ii) no more than 400,000 shares of Series C Preferred shall be issued in respect of amounts relating to the operation, funding or indebtedness of the Company. To the extent BladeRanger pays or otherwise discharges indebtedness of the Company in excess of $1.6 million, the Company will reimburse BladeRanger for such excess in cash at Closing. Any additional shares issued to BladeRanger pursuant to these provisions will be in addition to the Envoy-Side Shares and will not be subject to BladeRanger’s lock-up or leak-out restrictions.
Closing and Conditions. Closing is targeted for October 6, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), subject to customary conditions including (a) for the Company, (i) the accuracy in all material respects of BladeRanger’s and Envoy’s representations and warranties and compliance with covenants; (ii) the absence of Material Adverse Effect of Envoy; (iii) the receipt of all required Israeli and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange approvals; (iv) conversion of the Envoy Convertible Note in accordance with its terms; and (v) the Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s execution of the Joinder Agreement and transfer to the Company of all Envoy shares issued to the Envoy Convertible Noteholder upon conversion of the Envoy Convertible Note; and (b) for BladeRanger, (i) the Company’s filing of the Certificate of Designation and issuance of Series C Preferred; and (ii) execution of Voting Agreements by certain stockholders of the Company. Closing is targeted to occur within two Business Days after satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing). Each of the Company and BladeRanger are entitled to waive one or more their respective conditions to Closing in writing.
1
Stockholder Approval. Stockholder approval is required under Nasdaq Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d) in connection with the contemplated change of control and prior to issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred or the H Capital Note, or pursuant to any equity line of credit entered into in connection with Closing, to the extent such issuances exceed applicable Nasdaq limitations. Stockholder approval is not a condition to Closing, and the parties are required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval on or before January 31, 2027.
Termination. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated upon: (a) mutual consent; (b) Closing not occurring by the Outside Date; (c) exercise of the Company’s fiduciary out, subject to expense reimbursement to BladeRanger of up to $150,000; (d) an uncured material breach by the other party, subject to a 15 Business Day cure period; or (e) if any stop order, suspension of trading, or, other than as previously disclosed by the Company, any delisting or threatened delisting notice shall have been issued or to the Company’s knowledge threatened in writing with respect to the Company’s Common Stock on or prior to the Outside Date.
Post-Closing Covenants. BladeRanger will have the right to designate one director to the Board (which will continue to consist of seven directors, four of whom shall be independent) and, for so long as BladeRanger and its affiliates collectively hold at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted basis, will have certain continuing rights with respect to the nomination and replacement of its designee. For so long as BladeRanger has the right to designate a director to the Board, BladeRanger will also have the right to designate one member of executive management. The Company and Envoy will be subject to a three-year non-compete in the U.S. residential, hospitality and campus shared electric vehicle mobility markets, as well as customary non-solicitation provisions.
Lock-Up. BladeRanger’s shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred will be subject to a lock-up expiring on the earlier of April 1, 2027 and six months following such conversion, followed by leak-out provisions limiting sales to no more than 10% of daily trading volume or, if available, volume under Rule 144.
Interim Anti-Dilution Protection. From Closing until the Series C Preferred is fully convertible following stockholder approval, the Company shall not, without BladeRanger’s prior written consent, issue or sell any capital stock, equity securities, options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights to acquire capital stock, or enter into any financing or transaction that would dilute BladeRanger’s ownership interest, subject to certain permitted issuances and other exceptions specified in the Purchase Agreement.
Post-Closing Funding of Envoy. From Closing until stockholder approval is obtained, if the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $2.0 million from equity or debt financings or other capital-raising transactions, the Company will be required to contribute or otherwise provide to Envoy the amount of such excess proceeds, net of certain costs and expenses specified in the Purchase Agreement, for use in funding Envoy’s operations and expansion.
Registration. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement to be entered into at the Closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company will file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 within 60 days following receipt of Envoy’s Rule 3-05 financial statements. H Capital, BladeRanger and, subject to its execution of the Joinder Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Envoy Convertible Noteholder, will have customary piggyback registration rights and up to two demand registration rights in any twelve-month period.
Indemnification. Representations and warranties of BladeRanger and Envoy survive for 18 months with fundamental representations surviving for 6 years. Representation and warranty claims are subject to a $100,000 deductible; indemnification for specified Pre-Closing Liabilities is subject to a $250,000 cap; and other indemnification obligations are generally subject to a cap equal to 25% of the value of the Envoy-Side Shares at $6.00 per share, subject in each case to the exceptions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Post-Closing, BladeRanger’s indemnification obligations subject to the general cap will be satisfied solely from shares of Series C Preferred or Common Stock held by BladeRanger at $6.00 per share, with no cash liability, except in the case of Fraud by BladeRanger.
2
The Envoy Convertible Noteholder. The Envoy Convertible Note will convert into shares representing 20% of Envoy’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to Closing. The Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s execution of a joinder agreement to the Purchase Agreement, the conversion of the Envoy Convertible Note in accordance with its terms and the Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s transfer to the Company of all Envoy shares issued to it upon such conversion are conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition. Upon the Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s execution of the joinder agreement, the Envoy Convertible Noteholder will become a Seller and a party to the Purchase Agreement. At Closing, the Envoy Convertible Noteholder will be entitled to receive 2,166,667 shares of Series C Preferred in exchange for its Envoy shares. Unless and until the Envoy Convertible Noteholder executes the joinder agreement, the Envoy Convertible Noteholder will have no rights or obligations under the Purchase Agreement and will not be entitled to receive any securities or other consideration thereunder. The Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred will be subject to a 12-month lock-up, with a carve-out for a registered pro rata distribution to the Envoy Convertible Noteholder’s stockholders. The Envoy Convertible Noteholder will have customary piggyback registration rights and up to two demand registration rights in any twelve-month period. Following Closing, the Company will assume BladeRanger’s obligation to backstop certain Envoy vehicle leases guaranteed by the Envoy Convertible Noteholder (approximately $700,000), including by providing a letter of credit within 30 days following Closing and taking all actions necessary to obtain a full and unconditional release of BladeRanger and the Envoy Convertible Noteholder from the applicable guarantees, backstop obligations and other related liabilities. Until such releases are obtained, the Company will indemnify BladeRanger and the Envoy Convertible Noteholder against losses arising from such obligations. Envoy will extend its existing transition services arrangement with the Envoy Convertible Noteholder for an additional six months to support the Rule 3-05 audit.
The Purchase Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report to provide information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide other factual information about the Company, BladeRanger, the Envoy Convertible Noteholder or their respective affiliates.

As of their respective dates, or if amended or restated prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of the last such amendment or restatement, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Certain information indicated by [***] has been excluded from this Exhibit 10.1 because it is not material.
Page 21
(d) Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of such Seller, threatened against or affecting such Seller before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority that adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or such Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

The Buyer shall cooperate with any holder of Securities in connection with any sale or transfer of Securities that are eligible for removal of such legends hereunder and shall, promptly following delivery of a written request therefor, instruct its transfer agent to remove such legends in accordance with the foregoing.
4.2 Securities Law Disclosure; Publicity
The Buyer shall, within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, file a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “8-K Filing”) with the Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and shall attach this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. The 8-K Filing obligation under this Section 4.2 is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Closing 8-K obligation set forth in Section 4.12.
No Party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other Parties hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law, applicable regulation or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Parties prior to making such disclosure and shall provide such other Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such disclosure in advance of its publication), unless such disclosure is reasonably consistent with prior disclosures reviewed and commented upon by the other Parties previously.
4.3 Limitations on Disposition
Each of the Sellers agrees that it shall not make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until (and, with respect to the Conversion Shares, subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in Section 4.4):
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement;
Page 24
(b) such disposition is made to the Buyer;
(c) such Seller shall have notified the Buyer of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Buyer with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Buyer, such Seller shall have furnished the Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and will be in compliance with Rule 144; or
(d) such Seller shall have furnished the Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, that such proposed disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such opinion of counsel to address, among other things, the availability of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Seller that is (i) a partnership or limited liability company, to its partners or members, (ii) a corporation, to its stockholders, (iii) to any Affiliate of such Seller, or (iv) in any such case, to any investment fund or other entity managed or controlled by or under common management or control with such Seller; provided, in each case, that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 4.3 and the lock-up provisions set forth in Section 4.4.
4.4 Lock-Up
(a) BladeRanger Lock-Up. All shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to BladeRanger upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock issued as consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Funding Reimbursement Shares issued pursuant to Section 4.11) (collectively, the “BladeRanger Conversion Shares”) shall be subject to a lock-up restriction for a period commencing on the date of conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock and expiring on the earlier of (i) April 1, 2027, or (ii) six (6) months from the date of such conversion (the “BladeRanger Lock-Up Period”). During the BladeRanger Lock-Up Period, BladeRanger shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any BladeRanger Conversion Shares or enter into any swap, hedge or other agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of the BladeRanger Conversion Shares. Following the expiration of the BladeRanger Lock-Up Period, BladeRanger shall be permitted to sell the BladeRanger Conversion Shares subject to (i) the requirements of Section 4.3 and (ii) a “leak-out” restriction limiting daily sales to the lesser of (A) ten percent (10%) of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the applicable Trading Day and (B) the volume limitations set forth in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.
(b) [* * *] Lock-Up. Subject to and effective only upon [* * *] execution of the Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which [* * *] shall expressly acknowledge and consent to the terms of this Section 4.4(b), all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to [* * *] upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (collectively, the “[* * *] Conversion Shares”) shall be subject to a lock-up restriction for a period of twelve (12) months commencing on the date of conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock (the “[* * *] Lock-Up Period”). During the [* * *] Lock-Up Period, [* * *] shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any [* * *] Conversion Shares or enter into any swap, hedge or other agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of the [* * *] Conversion Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to a registered pro rata distribution of [* * *] Conversion Shares to [* * *] stockholders, which distribution [* * *] may effect at any time during or following the [* * *] Lock-Up Period, subject to applicable securities laws. Following expiration of the [* * *] Lock-Up Period, any disposition of [* * *] Conversion Shares shall remain subject to Section 4.3.
Certain information indicated by [***] has been excluded from this Exhibit 10.1 because it is not material.
Page 25
4.5 Conversion and Stockholder Approval
(a) Conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and similar events. Such conversion shall occur automatically on the first Trading Day immediately following the date on which the Buyer receives the Stockholder Approval (as defined below); provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock at any time shall be subject to the Series C Blocker, which shall limit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock to 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Blocker Cap”), which Series C Blocker Cap shall include, for purposes of such calculation, all shares of Common Stock issued to BladeRanger at the Closing and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the H Capital Convertible Note. For the avoidance of doubt, upon receipt of Stockholder Approval, the Series C Blocker shall cease to apply and all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Conversion Ratio.
(b) Stockholder Approval. The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the Closing, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Buyer of (i) the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, and (ii) the Company’s unaudited reviewed interim financial statements for the most recently completed quarterly period of the Company required to be included in such preliminary proxy statement, in each case prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in form and substance suitable for inclusion in the proxy statement (collectively, the “Required Financial Statements”). The proxy statement shall seek the approval of the Buyer’s stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”) of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, as required under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) (issuance in connection with the acquisition of the stock of another company), 5635(b) (issuance resulting in a change of control) and 5635(d) (issuance at a price less than the greater of book or market value). The Buyer’s Board of Directors shall recommend that the Buyer’s stockholders approve such issuance and shall maintain such recommendation in favor of the Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that the Board may withdraw, qualify or adversely modify such recommendation if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval on or before January 31, 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer’s failure to obtain Stockholder Approval, notwithstanding the Buyer’s compliance with its obligations under this Section 4.5, shall not, solely by reason of such failure, constitute a breach or violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document nor give the Sellers any right to terminate this Agreement.
Page 26
(c) Resubmission. If Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the initial meeting of the Buyer’s stockholders at which such approval is submitted for a vote and the Board shall not have withdrawn, qualified or adversely modified its recommendation to the extent permitted under Section 4.5(b), the Buyer shall resubmit the proposal seeking Stockholder Approval at each subsequent annual or special meeting of stockholders (or seek Stockholder Approval by written consent in lieu of a meeting, if permitted), no less frequently than once every three (3) months following the date of such initial meeting, until Stockholder Approval is obtained. The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval at each such meeting, including by (i) promptly responding to SEC comments on, and filing and mailing, the definitive proxy statement, (ii) actively soliciting proxies in favor of Stockholder Approval, and (iii) taking such other actions as are reasonably necessary or advisable to obtain Stockholder Approval. The Buyer shall not adjourn, postpone or cancel any stockholder meeting at which Stockholder Approval is to be considered, except as required by applicable Law or to permit additional solicitation of proxies reasonably expected to facilitate Stockholder Approval.
(d) No Frustration. Subject to Section 4.6 and the fiduciary-duty exception set forth in Section 4.5(b), until Stockholder Approval has been obtained and all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock have converted in accordance with Section 4.5(a), the Buyer shall not take, or cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to take, any action the primary purpose or reasonably expected effect of which is to avoid, delay, frustrate or materially impair the obtaining of Stockholder Approval or the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, including amending its organizational documents or the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the Sellers without BladeRanger’s prior written consent.
4.6 Interim Anti-Dilution Protection
From the Closing until the date on which all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible in full into shares of Common Stock following receipt of Stockholder Approval, the Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of BladeRanger (which consent may be withheld in BladeRanger’s sole discretion), directly or indirectly, issue, offer, sell, grant or agree to issue, offer, sell or grant any shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other equity securities of the Buyer, or any options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights to acquire or receive any shares of capital stock or other equity interests in the Buyer, or enter into any financing, recapitalization or other transaction that would result in dilution to BladeRanger’s ownership interest in the Buyer on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, except for (A) issuances resulting in the issuance or potential issuance of up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted, exercised or exchanged basis) and (B) the specific issuances expressly permitted pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) below; provided that any issuances pursuant to clause (A) in excess of 300,000 shares shall be subject to the make-whole provisions set forth below.
(i) issuances of Securities expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Transaction Documents, solely to the extent such issuance, including the specific security, number of shares (or maximum number of shares issuable), conversion or exercise terms and other applicable terms thereof, is expressly reflected in the agreed pro forma capitalization of the Buyer set forth on Schedule 4.6 (the “Agreed Closing Capitalization”), including the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock and the conversion thereof into Common Stock; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any draw, advance, issuance or sale of securities pursuant to the White Lion ELOC or the Yorkville SEPA, or any issuance of any note, warrant, convertible security or other equity-linked security, in each case in excess of or in addition to the amounts specifically reflected in the Agreed Closing Capitalization, shall require the prior written consent of BladeRanger;
Page 27
(ii) issuances of equity compensation awards (including stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards) pursuant to the Buyer’s existing equity incentive plans as in effect on the date hereof, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and within the aggregate limits reflected in the agreed pro forma capitalization table delivered to BladeRanger prior to the Closing; and
(iii) compensatory equity awards issued pursuant to the CID HoldCo, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect on the date hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, to the extent that the Buyer issues or agrees to issue during such period, in the aggregate, more than 300,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to clause (A) above (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Preferred Stock, options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights to acquire Common Stock), BladeRanger shall be issued, for no additional consideration, a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in excess of 300,000. For the avoidance of doubt, issuances of up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to clause (A) above shall not entitle BladeRanger to any additional shares pursuant to this Section 4.6.
4.7 Board Composition and Management
(a) Board Designation. Effective as of the Closing, BladeRanger shall be entitled to designate one (1) individual for appointment or election to the Board of Directors of the Buyer (the “Board”), subject to the BladeRanger Designee providing the requisite information for purposes of the evaluation of his or her qualifications by the Buyer’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and to complete the required disclosure in the Buyer’s proxy statement for Stockholder Approval. The Board shall consist of seven (7) directors, of which four (4) shall qualify as independent directors under the listing standards of Nasdaq and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. For so long as BladeRanger and its Affiliates collectively hold at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted basis (the “Designation Period”), the Buyer shall take all actions necessary to (i) cause the BladeRanger Designee to be appointed to the Board, (ii) nominate and recommend the BladeRanger Designee for election or re-election at each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected and include such nominee in the Buyer’s applicable proxy statement and other solicitation materials, and (iii) solicit proxies in favor of the election of the BladeRanger Designee in the same manner as for the Buyer’s other Board nominees. BladeRanger shall have the exclusive right to remove and replace the BladeRanger Designee at any time, with or without cause, and, in the event of any vacancy resulting from the death, resignation, removal or other cessation of service of the BladeRanger Designee, the Buyer shall cause the individual designated by BladeRanger to fill such vacancy as promptly as practicable. The BladeRanger Designee shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges, protections and benefits as the other non-employee members of the Board, including with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses, and shall be covered under the Buyer’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms no less favorable than those applicable to the Buyer’s other non-employee directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of BladeRanger provided in this Section 4.7(a) shall at all times be subject to, and in compliance with the listing rules of the Trading Market, including, if applicable, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640. In the event that the Trading Market informs the Buyer that it is not in compliance with its listing requirements as a result of BladeRanger’s rights contained in this Agreement, BladeRanger shall cooperate with the Buyer to promptly remedy such non-compliance, including the possibility of proportionately reducing BladeRanger’s right to appoint the BladeRanger Designee hereunder.
Page 28
(b) Committee Composition. The Board shall at all times comply with applicable Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations regarding the independence of directors and the composition of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board, including Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605 and 5606.
(c) Management Designation. During the Designation Period and subject to the BladeRanger Management Designee providing the requisite information for purposes of the evaluation of his or her qualifications by the Buyer’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and to complete the required disclosure in the Buyer’s proxy statement for Stockholder Approval, BladeRanger shall be entitled to designate one (1) member of the executive management team of the Buyer and its subsidiaries, which individual shall serve in a senior management capacity with responsibilities, authority and access to information commensurate with such senior management position. The specific title and responsibilities of the BladeRanger Management Designee shall be determined by BladeRanger following reasonable consultation with the Buyer. The Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of such title and responsibilities. BladeRanger shall have the right to remove and replace the BladeRanger Management Designee at any time, and the Buyer shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect any such designation or replacement promptly.
4.8 Post-Closing Company Protections.
From and after the Closing until the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year after the Closing, or (ii) the date on which all shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been converted into Common Stock (the “Protection Period”), the Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of BladeRanger:
(a) use any cash, assets or other property of the Company to pay, discharge, satisfy or otherwise fund any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (excluding any Subsidiaries of the Company), other than liabilities or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries;
(b) create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any material assets of the Company, including its Intellectual Property Rights, cash or Material Contracts, to secure any indebtedness or other obligation of or for the benefit of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (excluding any Subsidiaries of the Company), other than indebtedness incurred for the benefit of, and proceeds of which are used by, the Company or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business;
Page 29
(c) cause or permit the Company to declare or pay any dividend or other distribution to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, make any loan or advance to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, pay any management, administrative or similar fee to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or participate in any cash pooling, cash sweep or similar arrangement with the Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit reimbursement at cost of reasonable and documented third-party expenses incurred by the Buyer or its Affiliates solely on behalf of the Company in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement;
(d) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, exclusively license or otherwise dispose of any material Intellectual Property Rights of the Company, other than non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of the Company’s business;
(e) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any material assets of the Company outside the ordinary course of business, discontinue any material line of business of the Company or materially change the nature or scope of the Company’s business; or
(f) cause or permit the Company to enter into any transaction, agreement or arrangement with the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer unless such transaction, agreement or arrangement is on terms no less favorable to the Company than would reasonably be obtainable in an arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party and has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Buyer.
During the Protection Period, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Company such financial and other resources as are reasonably necessary to support the continued operation of the Company’s business in the ordinary course and the Company’s planned expansion of its business, including through franchise arrangements and geographic expansion, in each case consistent with the Company’s business plans as determined from time to time by the Company’s management.
In addition, from and after the Closing until Stockholder Approval has been obtained, to the extent the Buyer receives aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $2,000,000 from one or more equity or debt financings or other capital-raising transactions, the Buyer shall promptly contribute or otherwise provide to the Company, for use in funding the Company’s operations and expansion, an amount equal to such excess proceeds net only of the Buyer’s reasonable, documented out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses (i) directly incurred in connection with the applicable financing transaction, (ii) the Buyer’s legal and accounting costs and fees to comply with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and (iii) the Buyer’s initial or annual listing fees for the Trading Market. For the avoidance of doubt, the $2,000,000 threshold shall be calculated on an aggregate basis across all such financings and capital-raising transactions during such period.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.8 shall prohibit the Company from paying its own liabilities and operating expenses in the ordinary course of business or from entering into bona fide third-party financing for the Company’s own working capital or operations that does not secure, fund or otherwise benefit any indebtedness or other obligation of the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Buyer’s funding obligations under this Section 4.8.
Page 30
4.9 Assumption of Lease Obligations.
Following the Closing, the Buyer shall assume and become solely responsible for BladeRanger’s obligation to backstop certain vehicle leases of the Company that are guaranteed by [* * *], representing in the aggregate approximately Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) of lease obligations outstanding as of the date hereof (the “Assumed Lease Obligations”). In furtherance thereof, the Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following the Closing, deliver to [* * *] (or such other beneficiary as [* * *] may direct) an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a nationally recognized financial institution in form and substance reasonably acceptable to [* * *] in an amount equal to the Assumed Lease Obligations, to serve as security for the Buyer’s performance of such obligations. The Buyer shall take all actions necessary to obtain a full and unconditional release of each of BladeRanger and [* * *] from any and all guarantees, backstop obligations and other liabilities relating to the Assumed Lease Obligations as promptly as practicable following the Closing. Until such releases have been obtained, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BladeRanger and [* * *] and their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives, from and against any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to the Assumed Lease Obligations or any guarantee, backstop or other obligation of BladeRanger or [* * *] with respect thereto. The obligations of the Buyer under this Section 4.9 shall survive the Closing and shall continue until BladeRanger and [* * *] have each been fully and unconditionally released from all such obligations. Subject to and effective only upon [* * *] execution of the Joinder Agreement, BladeRanger and [* * *] shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in connection with obtaining such releases, provided that such cooperation shall not require BladeRanger or [* * *] to incur any material out-of-pocket cost or assume or retain any liability or obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, such cooperation shall not limit or otherwise affect the Buyer's obligations under this Section 4.9.
4.10 Transition Services Agreement
The Company shall extend its existing transition services arrangement with [* * *] (the “Transition Services Arrangement”) for an additional period of six (6) months following the Closing (the “Extended TSA Period”), on terms and conditions no less favorable to [* * *] than those in effect as of the date hereof, to support the completion of the Rule 3-05 audit of the Company’s financial statements as contemplated by Section 4.13 hereof. During the Extended TSA Period, the Company shall provide [* * *] and its auditors with reasonable access to the Company’s books, records, financial data, personnel and systems in accordance with Section 4.13. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to negotiate and execute a mutually acceptable amendment to the Transition Services Arrangement reflecting the terms of this Section 4.10 within fifteen (15) days following the Closing.
4.11 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation
(a) Non-Competition. For a period of three (3) years following the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Buyer nor the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, engage in, invest in, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business that competes with the business of BladeRanger or the Company in the United States residential, hospitality and campus shared electric vehicle mobility market (the “Restricted Business”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity securities of any publicly traded company, so long as such Person does not actively participate in the business of such company, or (ii) any investment by the Buyer or the Company in a diversified mutual fund, exchange-traded fund or similar investment vehicle that holds securities of a company engaged in the Restricted Business, so long as the Buyer and the Company do not control the investment decisions of such fund or vehicle.
Certain information indicated by [***] has been excluded from this Exhibit 10.1 because it is not material.
Page 31
(b) Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, no party hereto shall, and each party shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, induce, recruit, hire or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit or hire any employee, consultant or independent contractor of any other party hereto or its Affiliates, or encourage any such Person to terminate or reduce his or her relationship with such party; or (ii) solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away any customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business relationship of any other party hereto or its Affiliates for purposes of competing with such party in the Restricted Business; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit (A) general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or equivalent publication (including online) or through the use of a recruiting firm that is not specifically targeted at such employees, or (B) solicitation or hiring of any individual whose employment with such other party has been terminated for at least six (6) months prior to such solicitation or hiring.
4.12 BladeRanger-Funded Obligations
To the extent BladeRanger incurs, accrues, pays, funds or otherwise satisfies, during the period from the date of the Term Sheet through the Closing Date, any fees, costs, expenses or other amounts in connection with the operation or funding of the Company or any indebtedness of the Buyer or the Company that is paid, funded or otherwise satisfied by BladeRanger (collectively, “BladeRanger-Funded Amounts”), BladeRanger shall receive, at the Closing, additional shares of Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, in a number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate BladeRanger-Funded Amounts by (y) $6.00 per share (the “Funding Share Price”), with such shares to be issued to BladeRanger in addition to, and not in reduction of, the Envoy-Side Shares; provided, that:
(x) the aggregate BladeRanger-Funded Amounts incurred by BladeRanger in connection with the operation or funding of, or indebtedness of, the Company shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); and
(y) an aggregate of not more than four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be issued in respect of BladeRanger-Funded Amounts incurred in connection with the operation or funding of, or indebtedness of, the Buyer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12, to the extent BladeRanger pays, funds, satisfies or otherwise discharges any indebtedness of the Buyer in excess of an aggregate amount of One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,600,000), the Buyer shall reimburse BladeRanger at the Closing, in cash, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for the amount of such excess.
Page 32
Any shares issued pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be in addition to, and shall not reduce, the Envoy-Side Shares otherwise issuable to BladeRanger hereunder. The issuance of any additional shares pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Envoy-Side Shares, including the applicable transfer restrictions and registration rights set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.4(a), any shares issued to BladeRanger pursuant to this Section 4.12 (the “Funding Reimbursement Shares”) shall not constitute BladeRanger Conversion Shares for purposes of Section 4.4(a) and shall not be subject to the BladeRanger Lock-Up Period or the “leak-out” restrictions set forth therein. BladeRanger shall deliver to the Buyer, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the aggregate BladeRanger-Funded Amounts incurred as of such date, together with reasonable supporting documentation therefor.
4.13 SEC Filings
The Buyer shall make all filings with the SEC required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the timely filing of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all other periodic reports, proxy statements (subject to the specific timing requirements set forth in Section 4.5(b) with respect to the proxy statement for Stockholder Approval) and other documents required to be filed by the Buyer with the SEC.

The Buyer shall deliver to BladeRanger, on or prior to the Closing Date, a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail all DAIC Run-Off Expenses that remain unpaid as of the Closing Date, together with the Buyer’s good faith estimate of any DAIC Run-Off Expenses that are accrued but not yet invoiced.
Page 33
4.16 Integration
Neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, shall, directly or indirectly, sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other applicable jurisdiction. The Buyer shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that the offer and sale of the Securities are not integrated with any other offering of securities by the Buyer for purposes of any applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
4.17 Exclusivity
From the date of the Term Sheet through the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither BladeRanger nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, shall, directly or indirectly: (A) solicit, initiate, facilitate, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce any inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or a material portion of the assets of the Company or a sale or issuance of equity securities of the Company (other than the transactions contemplated hereby) (an “Acquisition Proposal”); (B) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish any non-public information to any Person in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal; or (C) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not binding) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

4.18 Indemnification
(a) BladeRanger Indemnification. BladeRanger shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:
(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers or the Company, to the extent applicable to such Seller, contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;
Page 34
(ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Sellers or the Company, to the extent applicable to such Seller, contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or
(iii) any Pre-Closing Liabilities for breaches of the Term Sheet or otherwise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions;
in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.18(c) below.
(b) Buyer Indemnification. The Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BladeRanger and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:
(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement or any Transaction Document; or
(ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document.
(c) Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the parties under this Section 4.18 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i) Deductible. No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 4.18(a)(i) or Section 4.18(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Indemnified Parties of the applicable Indemnifying Party exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Deductible”), and then only for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible.
(ii) General Cap. The aggregate liability of either party for indemnification under this Section 4.18 (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations and Pre-Closing Liabilities) shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of Envoy-Side Shares multiplied by the Reference Price of $6.00 per share (i.e., Sixteen Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($16,250,000)) (the “General Cap”).
(iii) Pre-Closing Cap. The aggregate liability of the Sellers for indemnification under Section 4.18(a)(iii) (Pre-Closing Liabilities) shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).
(iv) Fundamental Representations Cap. Notwithstanding the General Cap, the aggregate liability of either party for Losses arising from the breach of any Fundamental Representation (being representations and warranties relating to organization, authorization, title, capitalization and taxes) shall not be subject to the General Cap, but shall be subject to an overall cap equal to the total value of the Envoy-Side Shares at the Reference Price of $6.00 per share (the “Overall Cap”).
Page 35
(d) Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any indemnification obligations of BladeRanger arising under this Section 4.18 following the Closing shall be satisfied solely by the cancellation and return to the Buyer of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock (as applicable) then held by BladeRanger, valued at $6.00 per share for purposes of determining the number of shares to be returned. For the avoidance of doubt, BladeRanger shall have no cash liability for any indemnification obligations arising under this Section 4.18, and the sole recourse of any Buyer Indemnified Party against BladeRanger for Losses under this Section 4.18 shall be against the shares of Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock held by BladeRanger; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply in the case of Fraud committed by BladeRanger or in respect of the period prior to Closing, the Company. For purposes of this Section 4.18, but without limiting BladeRanger’s indemnification obligations in respect of the Company, no Fraud or other conduct of the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives shall be imputed to BladeRanger.
(e) Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except that the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms, and if no term is specified, in perpetuity (subject to applicable statutes of limitations). No claim for indemnification under this Section 4.18 may be asserted after the expiration of the applicable survival period; provided, that any claim for indemnification that has been asserted in writing in reasonable detail prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall survive until the final resolution thereof.
(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of Fraud by the applicable indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 4.18 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties hereto and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives for any Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, rights of recovery under any Law and claims for rescission) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
4.19 Reservation of Shares; Listing
The Buyer shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, and shall take all corporate action necessary to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance shall be insufficient to permit conversion in full of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on Nasdaq (or such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) and to comply with all applicable listing standards and requirements. The Buyer shall promptly apply to list on Nasdaq (or such other exchange) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and all other shares of Common Stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Buyer shall not take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting of the Common Stock from Nasdaq.

5.2 Effect of Termination
In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates, except that (i) this Section 5.2, (ii) Section 6.1 (Fees and Expenses), (iii) Section 6.8 (Governing Law) and (iv) any obligation arising from a willful and material breach of this Agreement or Fraud shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any expense reimbursement payable by the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.1(c) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days following the date of such termination.
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Closing to occur as a result of [* * *] failure or refusal to execute the Joinder Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by BladeRanger or the Company and shall not give rise to any liability of BladeRanger or the Company to the Buyer; provided, that BladeRanger and Envoy shall have exercised the drag-along and other rights and remedies of BladeRanger or the Company, respectively under the Envoy Stockholders Agreement or the Envoy Convertible Note.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties; provided, however, that the Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer without such consent; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder.
6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
6.8 Governing Law
This Agreement 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) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
6.9 Submission to Jurisdiction
Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter is vested exclusively in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the purpose of any such action, suit or proceeding. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts, (b) that such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (c) that the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper.
6.10 Survival
The survival of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein shall be as set forth in Section 4.18(e).

6.12 Severability
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
6.13 Remedies
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Party shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other Parties hereunder, including injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security. The Parties hereto agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, any Party hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement.
6.14 Waiver of Jury Trial
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
6.15 Construction
The term “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” All references to sections or articles herein shall be deemed to include all subsections and subparts thereof. References to “$” shall mean United States dollars. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
6.16 Further Assurances
Each of the Parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
