Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Background. As previously disclosed, VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is party to an Investment and Share Purchase Agreement dated as of February 20, 2026, as amended by the First Amendment dated February 26, 2026 and supplemented by side letters dated March 11, 2026 and July 28, 2026 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Share Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, Matania (Mati) Moskovich (the “Seller”) and C.M. Composite Materials Ltd., an Israeli company (“CM”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 10.2 ordinary shares of CM, representing 51% of CM’s issued and outstanding share capital (the “CM Acquisition”), in exchange for 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and was granted a call option on the remaining 9.8 ordinary shares held by the Seller. The closing of the CM Acquisition is conditioned on, among other things, CM and its subsidiary entering into definitive joint venture agreements with Belrise Industries Limited (the “Belrise Condition”). The Belrise Condition has not been satisfied or waived, and the Belrise long-stop date and outside closing date under the Share Purchase Agreement have each been extended to December 31, 2026. The Company is also party to a Loan Agreement dated as of February 20, 2026 with CM (the “Loan Agreement”), under which the Company’s advances to CM bear interest at 12% per annum, mature in February 2029 and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of CM’s assets. As of September 30, 2026, the Company and its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, VisionWave IL Ltd., had advanced an aggregate of approximately $7.81 million to or for the benefit of CM. The Company does not currently own any equity interest in CM.
Joint Venture and Operating Agreement. On September 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Joint Venture and Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Sadot Group Inc., a Nevada corporation whose common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “SDOT” (“Sadot”), and CMJV LLC, a newly formed Nevada limited liability company (“CMJV”), pursuant to which the Company and Sadot have established CMJV as a 50/50 joint venture to hold the Company’s rights relating to CM, to act as lender to CM and, if the Belrise Condition is satisfied or waived and the other closing conditions are met, to consummate the CM Acquisition. The transactions contemplated by the JV Agreement closed simultaneously with its execution on September 30, 2026 (the “Closing”). The JV Agreement also serves as the operating agreement of CMJV.
At the Closing, pursuant to a Contribution and Assignment Agreement among the Company, VisionWave IL Ltd. and CMJV (the “Contribution Agreement”), the Company and VisionWave IL Ltd. contributed to CMJV all of their rights under the Share Purchase Agreement (including the right to acquire the 51% interest in CM and the call option), the Loan Agreement, the related promissory notes and security documents, and the approximately $7.81 million of outstanding advances to CM (collectively, the “CM Rights”), in exchange for 7,814,323 units of membership interest in CMJV. Sadot committed to contribute $7,814,323 in cash to CMJV, an amount equal to the Company’s advances to CM (the “Capital Commitment”), in exchange for an equal number of units. Immediately following the Closing, the Company and Sadot each hold 50% of the outstanding units of CMJV. The Company retained its obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement to issue the share consideration to the Seller at the closing of the CM Acquisition, to register those shares for resale and to deposit them with an Israeli trustee, and to issue shares of its common stock upon any exercise of the call option, the cost of which Sadot has agreed to share equally.
As consideration for admitting Sadot to the CM opportunity as an equal partner, Sadot issued to the Company at the Closing 250,000 shares of Sadot common stock (the “Entry Premium Shares”). The Entry Premium Shares are restricted securities that were issued in a private placement, are separate from and do not reduce the Capital Commitment, and are not consideration for any interest in CM. Sadot has agreed to maintain its Exchange Act reporting so that Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be available for resales of the Entry Premium Shares by the Company.
Sadot is required to fund the Capital Commitment in tranches during the twelve months following the Closing against draw requests submitted by CM under a budget approved by both members, subject to minimum cumulative funding of $3.0 million by December 30, 2026, $6.0 million by March 30, 2027, $7.0 million by June 30, 2027 and the full Capital Commitment by September 30, 2027. Each amount funded by Sadot is lent by CMJV to CM as a secured advance under the Loan Agreement, which was assigned to CMJV at the Closing. If Sadot has not funded the Capital Commitment in full by September 30, 2027, the unfunded portion is extinguished and Sadot’s units are automatically cancelled dollar-for-dollar, so that Sadot’s ownership of CMJV is reduced pro rata to the amount actually funded (the “True-Up”). The True-Up also applies if the CM Acquisition fails to close by the outside closing date under the Share Purchase Agreement, unless Sadot elects to fund the balance. Prior to the True-Up, the Company may enforce the Capital Commitment by specific performance, and Sadot’s governance rights under the JV Agreement are suspended during any funding default. Until Sadot has funded the Capital Commitment in full, distributions by CMJV are made in proportion to cash actually contributed rather than units, after payment to the Company of a priority return equal to the interest accrued on the Company’s advances to CM through the Closing.
CMJV is managed by a board of four managers, two designated by each of the Company and Sadot. Specified matters, including any amendment or waiver under the Share Purchase Agreement, any waiver or modification of the Belrise Condition, any enforcement, conversion or compromise of the loans to CM, any exercise of the call option, any transfer of CM equity, additional capital contributions, related-party transactions, distributions and dissolution, require the approval of both members. The Company administers the loans to CM and the CM Acquisition process on behalf of CMJV at cost. Units of CMJV are subject to transfer restrictions, including a lock-up until the later of September 30, 2028 and the date on which Sadot has funded the Capital Commitment in full, and thereafter to rights of first refusal and tag-along rights. If the CM Acquisition closes, CMJV will hold the 51% interest in CM, and the Company and Sadot will each hold, indirectly, a 25.5% economic interest in CM for so long as they remain equal members. The JV Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions, and provides that fifty percent of the Entry Premium Shares are returnable to Sadot if the CM Acquisition fails to close as a result of the Company’s willful breach of specified covenants, its failure to deliver the share consideration to the Seller, or a fundamental failure of its title to the CM Rights.
Loan Agreement Amendment. In connection with the Closing, CM and the Seller executed an Acknowledgment, Consent and Loan Agreement Amendment (the “CM Acknowledgment”) pursuant to which CM and the Seller consented to the assignment of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement to CMJV, confirmed that the Company’s advances to CM constitute secured obligations under the Loan Agreement, and agreed to amend the Loan Agreement to increase the lending commitment from $5,000,000 to $16,628,646 (which includes the outstanding advances and the Capital Commitment), to conform the advance request procedure to the JV Agreement, to add reporting requirements and additional events of default, and to consent to the exercise by CMJV of the optional conversion right under the Loan Agreement, subject to the consent of Giza Zinger Even Mezzanine, Limited Partnership to the extent required under the side letter dated March 11, 2026.
No shares of the Company’s capital stock were issued in connection with the JV Agreement, and no approval of the Company’s stockholders was required. Haggai Ravid, a member of the Company’s board of directors, is a director of Sadot and has been designated by Sadot as one of Sadot’s two managers of CMJV. The JV Agreement and the related transactions were approved by the Company’s board of directors, with the directors other than Mr. Ravid, constituting a majority of the disinterested directors, approving the transactions following disclosure of Mr. Ravid’s relationship with Sadot.
The foregoing descriptions of the JV Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the CM Acknowledgment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in those agreements were made solely for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, and may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on those representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Sadot, CMJV or CM.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding the expected funding of CMJV by Sadot, the satisfaction of the Belrise Condition, the consummation of the CM Acquisition, the expected benefits of the joint venture, and the Company’s and CMJV’s future ownership interests in CM. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “will,” “may,” “would” and similar expressions. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the risk that Sadot does not fund the Capital Commitment in whole or in part; the risk that the Belrise Condition is not satisfied or waived and the CM Acquisition does not close by December 31, 2026 or at all; CM’s financial condition, including its obligations under its settlement agreement with Giza Zinger Even Mezzanine, Limited Partnership and the insolvency proceedings affecting CM’s subsidiary; the ability of CMJV to enforce its security interests in Israel; the value and liquidity of the Entry Premium Shares; the Company’s ability to work effectively with Sadot as a 50/50 partner and to resolve any deadlock; the accounting treatment of the Company’s investment in CMJV; and the other risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not currently own any equity interest in CM, and no assurance can be given that it will. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them except as required by law.

ARTICLE II
FORMATION OF CMJV; CONTRIBUTION OF CM RIGHTS; CAPITALIZATION
2.1 Formation; Operating Agreement. VisionWave has caused CMJV to be organized as a manager-managed limited liability company under Chapter 86 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by the filing of the Articles with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on September 29, 2026. This Agreement constitutes the operating agreement of CMJV within the meaning of NRS 86.101 and, together with the Articles, governs the affairs of CMJV and the conduct of its business. Sadot is hereby admitted as a Member of CMJV effective as of the Closing. VisionWave shall cause CMJV to (a) obtain a federal employer identification number, (b) qualify to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, and (c) take no action and incur no liability other than in connection with its organization and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.2 Purpose. The purpose of CMJV is (a) to hold, administer, enforce and realize upon the CM Rights, (b) to act as lender under the CM Loan Documents and to make Advances to CM in accordance with Article V, (c) to consummate the CM Acquisition and, following the CM Acquisition Closing, to hold the CM Loans and the Purchased Shares and to exercise the rights of a shareholder of CM, (d) to hold and, if the Board so determines in accordance with Section 7.6, to exercise the Buyer Call Option, (e) to participate in the Belrise JV Agreements and any related transactions to the extent the CM Rights so provide, and (f) to engage in any lawful activity incidental or related to the foregoing. CMJV shall not engage in any other business without the approval of the Board in accordance with Section 7.6.
2.3 Contribution and Assignment of CM Rights by VisionWave.
(a) At the Closing, VisionWave shall, and shall cause VisionWave Israel to, contribute, assign, transfer and deliver to CMJV all of the CM Rights, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions arising under the Share Purchase Agreement, the CM Loan Documents, the March Side Letter and Applicable Law), pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. The assignment of the Share Purchase Agreement is made in reliance on Section 9.6 thereof, which permits Buyer to assign its rights and obligations to an Affiliate without the consent of the other parties, provided that VisionWave remains liable for its obligations thereunder. The assignment of the CM Loan Documents is made in reliance on Section 8.5 of the Loan Agreement and Section 11 of the Note, which permit Lender to assign without Borrower’s consent.
(b) CMJV shall assume, and agrees to perform and discharge when due, all obligations of Buyer under the Share Purchase Agreement and of Lender under the CM Loan Documents arising from and after the Closing, other than the Retained Obligations, which shall remain the sole obligations of VisionWave. VisionWave shall perform the Retained Obligations for the benefit of CMJV without any additional consideration and shall be entitled to no additional Units in respect thereof, it being acknowledged that the issuance of the Buyer Shares to the Seller is the equity consideration for the Purchased Shares contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement, that the value of the Buyer Shares was fixed in the Share Purchase Agreement at U.S. $2,500,000, and that VisionWave’s contribution of that consideration is reflected in the Entry Premium Shares and the allocation of Units provided for in this Agreement.
(c) VisionWave shall, and shall cause VisionWave Israel to, deliver to CMJV at the Closing (i) the original Note and Prior Notes, duly endorsed to CMJV, (ii) executed assignments of all security interests, pledges and charges over the CM Collateral, in form suitable for registration with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and Registrar of Pledges and for filing under the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, (iii) a notice of assignment to CM and the Seller in the form included in the CM Acknowledgment, and (iv) all books, records and files relating to the CM Rights.
12
(d) The Members intend that the contribution of the CM Rights to CMJV by VisionWave and VisionWave Israel qualify as a tax-free contribution to a partnership under Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall report consistently therewith except as otherwise required by a final determination of a taxing authority.
2.4 Capitalization; Issuance of Units at Closing.
(a) The limited liability company interests in CMJV are denominated in Units. CMJV may issue an unlimited number of Units, subject to Section 2.6 and the Reserved Matters. Any Units issued to VisionWave in connection with the organization of CMJV prior to the Closing shall be cancelled at the Closing and replaced by the Units issued pursuant to Section 2.4(b).
(b) At the Closing, CMJV shall issue (i) to VisionWave, in consideration of the contribution of the CM Rights, a number of Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount by the Contribution Price, rounded to the nearest whole Unit, and (ii) to Sadot, in consideration of the Capital Commitment, an equal number of Units. Based on the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount set forth in Schedule A, 7,814,323 Units shall be issued to each of VisionWave and Sadot at the Closing, so that immediately following the Closing each Member holds a fifty percent (50%) Percentage Interest, subject to adjustment upon the final determination of Schedule A pursuant to Section 2.5 and to the True-Up pursuant to Section 4.6.
(c) Sadot’s Capital Commitment constitutes a binding obligation of Sadot to contribute cash to CMJV in the amount and on the terms set forth in Article IV, is a contribution obligation enforceable by CMJV and VisionWave in accordance with NRS 86.391, and is not conditioned on any financing or any other event other than as expressly set forth in Section 4.5. The Units issued to Sadot at the Closing are subject to cancellation in accordance with Section 4.6 to the extent the Capital Commitment is not funded in full by the True-Up Date.
(d) The Members acknowledge and agree that (i) the Contribution Price has been established solely as a mechanism for allocating Units between the Members in proportion to their respective cash funding of CM and Sadot’s Capital Commitment, (ii) the Contribution Price is not a representation as to the value of a Unit, the CM Rights or CMJV, and (iii) the value contributed by VisionWave in respect of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Buyer Call Option, the CM Collateral, the Belrise opportunity and VisionWave’s origination and structuring of the CM opportunity is separately compensated by the Entry Premium Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 and is not reflected in the number of Units issued to VisionWave.
2.5 VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount Schedule.
(a) Attached as Schedule A is the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount Schedule, which identifies each Qualifying VisionWave Advance funded on or prior to the Baseline Date by date, payor, recipient or purpose and amount, and which shall be supplemented prior to the Closing to identify for each such advance the governing CM Loan Document and the supporting evidence of funding.
(b) VisionWave has delivered to Sadot copies of the supporting evidence for the advances identified in Schedule A, and Sadot has reviewed such evidence to its satisfaction. The Members have agreed upon and initialed the final Schedule A, which shall be conclusive and binding on the Members as to the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount absent fraud or manifest error.
13
(c) If, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, either Member identifies a Qualifying VisionWave Advance funded on or prior to the Baseline Date that was omitted from Schedule A, or an amount included in Schedule A that does not satisfy the definition of Qualifying VisionWave Advance, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to correct Schedule A, and any dispute shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm of national standing mutually acceptable to the Members (the “Independent Accountant”) for determination within thirty (30) days. Upon any correction of Schedule A, (i) CMJV shall issue to VisionWave such additional Units, or cancel such Units held by VisionWave, as are required to reflect the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount as so corrected, (ii) the Capital Commitment shall be increased or reduced by the same amount, and (iii) CMJV shall issue to Sadot, or cancel, an equal number of Units, so that the Members continue to hold equal Percentage Interests. The fees of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Members in inverse proportion to their respective success on the disputed items.
(d) Any amount that is excluded from the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount shall not be forfeited by VisionWave but shall be treated as a subordinated intercompany claim of VisionWave against CM that is not contributed to CMJV, is not matched by Sadot and is not secured by the CM Collateral, unless the Members otherwise agree in writing.
2.6 Subsequent Issuances of Units. Following the Closing, CMJV shall issue Units only (a) to VisionWave in respect of Additional Qualifying VisionWave Advances, and to Sadot in respect of any corresponding increase in its Capital Commitment, in accordance with Section 4.7, (b) to a Member that funds a Cure Contribution in accordance with Section 10.3(b), (c) to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests in respect of any additional capital approved as a Reserved Matter, (d) in connection with a correction of Schedule A pursuant to Section 2.5(c), or (e) as otherwise approved as a Reserved Matter. Each issuance of Units shall be at the Contribution Price unless the Members otherwise agree as a Reserved Matter. CMJV shall not issue any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire Units except as approved as a Reserved Matter.
2.7 Preemptive Rights. If CMJV proposes to issue any Units or other equity securities other than pursuant to Sections 2.6(a), (b) or (d), each Member shall have the right, exercisable by written notice within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of notice of the proposed issuance, to subscribe for its Percentage Interest of such securities on the same terms and conditions.
2.8 No Other Assets or Liabilities. CMJV shall not, without the approval of the Board as a Reserved Matter, hold any assets other than the CM Rights, the Purchased Shares, cash received from the Members or CM, and assets incidental thereto, or incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or any guarantee of the obligations of any other Person.

16
ARTICLE IV
SADOT MATCHING FUNDING COMMITMENT
4.1 Capital Commitment; Matching Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sadot hereby irrevocably commits to make capital contributions to CMJV, in cash, in an aggregate amount equal to U.S. $7,814,323, being the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.5(c) and 4.7, the “Capital Commitment”), in tranches during the Funding Period in accordance with this Article IV. Each Matching Advance shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to an account of CMJV designated in the applicable Funding Notice, shall be credited against the Capital Commitment until the Capital Commitment has been funded in full, and shall be applied by CMJV solely to fund an Advance to CM under the Loan Agreement in accordance with Article V.
4.2 Amount; Funding Cap.
(a) The Matching Commitment as of the Closing Date is equal to the Capital Commitment. The Capital Commitment and the Matching Commitment shall increase, dollar-for-dollar, by the amount of each Additional Qualifying VisionWave Advance, but only if and to the extent Sadot elects, or is deemed to have elected, to match such advance in accordance with Section 4.7(b).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sadot shall not be required to fund Matching Advances in an aggregate amount exceeding U.S. $7,814,323 plus the amount of any Additional Qualifying VisionWave Advances that Sadot has elected to match in accordance with Section 4.7(b) or that Sadot has otherwise approved in writing as a Reserved Matter (the “Funding Cap”). Any increase in the Funding Cap requires the written approval of Sadot, which Sadot may grant or withhold in its sole discretion after approval by its board of directors. VisionWave acknowledges that it may not increase the Capital Commitment by making advances to CM that are not Additional Qualifying VisionWave Advances, and that any such advances shall be governed by Section 4.7(c).
4.3 Funding Period; Minimum Funding Milestones.
(a) Matching Advances shall be funded during the Funding Period against Approved Draw Requests as CM’s cash requirements arise under the Approved Budget. Sadot is not required to fund any portion of the Capital Commitment at the Closing.
(b) In order to provide CM and the Members with reasonable certainty of funding, and notwithstanding the timing of Draw Requests, Sadot shall have funded Matching Advances aggregating not less than the following amounts by the following dates (each, a “Minimum Funding Milestone”): (i) U.S. $3,000,000 by the date that is three (3) months after the Closing Date; (ii) U.S. $6,000,000 by the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date; (iii) U.S. $7,000,000 by the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date; and (iv) the full Capital Commitment by the True-Up Date; provided that a Minimum Funding Milestone (other than the milestone described in clause (iv)) shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that Approved Draw Requests in the amount necessary to meet such milestone have not been delivered by CM through no fault of Sadot; and provided further that Sadot may at any time fund Matching Advances in advance of Draw Requests, in which case such funds shall be held by CMJV in a segregated account, shall be credited against the Capital Commitment when received, and shall be applied to subsequent Approved Draw Requests.
(c) The Funding Period may be extended only by the written agreement of both Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the True-Up Date shall not be extended by reason of CM’s failure to deliver Draw Requests, it being agreed that Sadot may avoid any True-Up by funding the Unfunded Amount into the segregated account described in Section 4.3(b) on or before the True-Up Date.
(d) Amounts funded by Sadot in respect of the Capital Commitment shall be credited against the Capital Commitment in the order funded. Sadot shall have no obligation to fund any Matching Advance after the Capital Commitment has been funded in full, after the True-Up Date, or after the Matching Commitment has terminated in accordance with Section 15.2.
17
4.4 Draw Requests; Funding Notices.
(a) Not more frequently than once per calendar month (unless the Board otherwise approves), CM may deliver to CMJV, with copies to each Member, a written request for an Advance under the Loan Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Draw Request”), which shall (i) specify the amount requested, which shall be not less than U.S. $250,000 (or, if less, the remaining Matching Commitment) and shall be in integral multiples of U.S. $50,000, (ii) describe in reasonable detail the proposed use of proceeds and identify the line items of the Approved Budget to which such use relates, (iii) include a comparison of CM’s actual expenditures to the Approved Budget for the preceding period and a thirteen (13) week cash flow forecast, (iv) attach invoices, payroll registers or other supporting documentation for the proposed uses, (v) certify that no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and no Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing, that CM’s representations and warranties under the Loan Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and that CM is in compliance with the Giza Settlement Agreement, and (vi) be executed by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) of CM.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Draw Request, each Member shall notify CMJV and the other Member in writing whether it approves the Draw Request. A Member may withhold approval of a Draw Request only if (i) the Draw Request does not satisfy the requirements of Section 4.4(a), (ii) the proposed use of proceeds is not consistent with the Approved Budget (subject to a permitted variance of [ten percent (10%)] per line item and [five percent (5%)] in the aggregate), (iii) an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (iv) CM is delinquent in the delivery of any financial statements, budgets or reports required under the Loan Agreement or Section 7.10, (v) a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing, (vi) the liens on the CM Collateral securing the CM Loan Obligations are not valid, perfected and first-priority (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), or (vii) the funding of such Draw Request would cause the aggregate Advances under the Loan Agreement to exceed the Commitment thereunder (as amended by the CM Acknowledgment). A Member that fails to respond within such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed to have approved the Draw Request.
(c) A Draw Request approved (or deemed approved) by both Members is an “Approved Draw Request”. If a Member withholds approval, it shall specify the basis therefor in reasonable detail, and the Members shall consult in good faith, and cause CM to be consulted, with a view to curing the deficiency and resubmitting the Draw Request.
(d) Upon a Draw Request becoming an Approved Draw Request, CMJV shall deliver to Sadot a written funding notice (a “Funding Notice”) specifying the amount of the Matching Advance required (which shall equal the amount of the Approved Draw Request, or, if less, the remaining Matching Commitment), the account of CMJV to which such amount is to be wired, and the funding date, which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Funding Notice.
(e) Sadot shall fund the Matching Advance specified in each Funding Notice on or before the funding date specified therein. Sadot’s obligation to fund a Matching Advance in respect of an Approved Draw Request is not subject to any condition other than those set forth in Section 4.5, and Sadot shall not be entitled to withhold funding by reason of any dispute with VisionWave, CMJV or CM other than as expressly provided in Section 4.5, it being agreed that any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article XI and Section 16.9.
4.5 Conditions to Each Matching Advance. Sadot’s obligation to fund a Matching Advance is subject only to the satisfaction (or waiver by Sadot) of the following conditions as of the applicable funding date: (a) the Draw Request is an Approved Draw Request; (b) no Long-Stop Failure has occurred; (c) the Matching Commitment has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement; (d) the aggregate Matching Advances, after giving effect to the requested Matching Advance, would not exceed the Funding Cap; and (e) CMJV shall have delivered to Sadot a Funding Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the conditions described in Section 4.4(b)(i) through (vii) are conditions to the approval of a Draw Request and not conditions to the funding of an Approved Draw Request.
18
4.6 Crediting of Matching Advances; Funding True-Up.
(a) Because the Units issued to Sadot at the Closing were issued in consideration of the Capital Commitment, no additional Units shall be issued to Sadot in respect of any Matching Advance. Each Matching Advance shall be credited against the Capital Commitment, and CMJV shall record such credit in the register described in Section 4.9 and deliver an updated register to each Member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Matching Advance.
(b) On the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “True-Up Date”), CMJV shall determine the aggregate amount of Matching Advances funded by Sadot through the True-Up Date, including any amounts funded into the segregated account described in Section 4.3(b) (the “Funded Amount”), and the amount, if any, by which the Capital Commitment exceeds the Funded Amount (the “Unfunded Amount”). If the Unfunded Amount is greater than zero, then automatically, effective as of the True-Up Date and without any further action by any Person (the “True-Up”): (i) a number of Units held by Sadot equal to the Unfunded Amount divided by the Contribution Price shall be cancelled for no consideration, so that Sadot thereafter holds a number of Units equal to the Funded Amount divided by the Contribution Price; (ii) the Unfunded Amount of the Capital Commitment shall be extinguished and Sadot shall have no further obligation to fund Matching Advances in respect thereof, without prejudice to any liability of Sadot accrued prior to the True-Up Date under Article X (including interest under Section 10.2) and without prejudice to any Cure Contribution funded by VisionWave; and (iii) the Members’ Percentage Interests shall be recalculated accordingly. CMJV shall record the True-Up in its Unit ledger and deliver written notice thereof to each Member within five (5) Business Days after the True-Up Date, and Sadot shall surrender for cancellation any certificate evidencing the cancelled Units.
(c) By way of illustration only, and assuming a Capital Commitment of U.S. $7,814,323 and no Additional Qualifying VisionWave Advances or Cure Contributions: (i) immediately following the Closing, each of VisionWave and Sadot holds 7,814,323 Units (50% each); (ii) if the Funded Amount on the True-Up Date is U.S. $7,814,323, no Units are cancelled and each Member continues to hold a fifty percent (50%) Percentage Interest; and (iii) if the Funded Amount on the True-Up Date is U.S. $4,000,000, 3,814,323 of Sadot’s Units are cancelled, Sadot thereafter holds 4,000,000 Units (approximately 33.9%) and VisionWave holds 7,814,323 Units (approximately 66.1%).
(d) If the Matching Commitment terminates prior to the True-Up Date pursuant to Section 15.2, the True-Up shall be applied as of the date of such termination, mutatis mutandis, unless Sadot elects, by written notice delivered within thirty (30) days after such termination, to fund the Unfunded Amount into the segregated account described in Section 4.3(b) within such thirty (30) day period.
(e) Sadot represents, warrants and agrees, as of the Closing Date, that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, is acquiring the Units for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution, understands that the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, are “restricted securities” and may not be transferred except in compliance with Article IX and Applicable Law, and that the Units will bear a legend to that effect and a legend referring to this Agreement.
19
(f) Each Matching Advance is a capital contribution to CMJV in respect of the Capital Commitment and shall not constitute a loan to CMJV or to CM by Sadot, shall not be evidenced by any note or other instrument of CMJV, and shall not entitle Sadot to interest or repayment from CMJV other than by way of distributions in accordance with Article VIII. Sadot shall have no direct creditor rights against CM in respect of any Matching Advance; Sadot’s economic interest in the corresponding Advance to CM under the Loan Agreement is held through its Units in CMJV, which is the sole lender of record under the Loan Agreement.
4.7 Additional VisionWave Funding after the Baseline Date.
(a) Any advance made by VisionWave or VisionWave Israel to or for the benefit of CM after the Baseline Date and prior to the Closing that satisfies the criteria for a Qualifying VisionWave Advance and is disclosed to and approved in writing by Sadot prior to the Closing shall be included in Schedule A and in the VisionWave Cumulative Funding Amount.
4.8 Use of Matching Advances; No Other Use. CMJV shall apply each Matching Advance, within two (2) Business Days after receipt, solely to fund the corresponding Advance to CM under the Loan Agreement in the amount of the Approved Draw Request, and shall not use any Matching Advance for any other purpose (including the payment of expenses of CMJV, which shall be funded in accordance with Section 7.12) without the approval of Sadot as a Reserved Matter.
4.9 Records of Contributions. CMJV shall maintain a contributions register, in the form of Schedule A as updated from time to time, recording each contribution by each Member, the date thereof, the amount credited against the Capital Commitment, the number of Units issued or cancelled in respect thereof, the corresponding Advance to CM and the resulting Percentage Interests, Funded Amount and Funded Percentage. CMJV shall deliver an updated register to each Member within five (5) Business Days after each contribution.

Subject to Applicable Law (including NRS 86.343) and the Reserved Matters, CMJV shall distribute to the Members, within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, all cash received by CMJV during such quarter from or in respect of the CM Rights, the CM Loans, the CM Collateral or the Purchased Shares (including interest and principal payments on the CM Loans, dividends on the Purchased Shares, and the proceeds of any sale, enforcement or other realization), less (a) amounts required to pay the accrued and reasonably anticipated expenses and liabilities of CMJV in accordance with the Approved Budget, and (b) such reserves as the Board may establish as a Reserved Matter (“Distributable Cash”).
8.2 Order of Application. Distributable Cash shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to VisionWave, until VisionWave has received an amount equal to all interest accrued and unpaid on the CM Loans in respect of the period prior to the Closing Date, as set forth in Schedule A (the “Priority Return”), it being acknowledged that the Priority Return is consideration for the time value of VisionWave’s funding of the CM Loans prior to Sadot’s participation and is not matched by Sadot;
(b) second, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the date of distribution; provided that, prior to the Parity Date, Distributable Cash shall instead be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective aggregate cash contributions to CMJV as of the date of distribution (being, in the case of VisionWave, the Adjusted VisionWave Funding Amount and any Cure Contributions, and, in the case of Sadot, the Funded Amount), it being acknowledged that Sadot’s Units are issued in consideration of the Capital Commitment and that Sadot should not participate in distributions attributable to capital it has not yet funded.

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERS OF SHARES
9.1 General Restriction. No Member shall Transfer any Units, or any interest therein, except (a) to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 9.2, (b) in accordance with Sections 9.3 through 9.6, or (c) with the prior written consent of the other Member. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Article IX shall be null and void ab initio, and CMJV shall not record any such Transfer on its Unit ledger. No Member shall Transfer any Units prior to the later of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the Parity Date, other than to a Permitted Transferee or pursuant to Section 9.5 or 11.3. A transferee of Units shall be admitted as a Member only upon compliance with this Article IX and execution of a joinder in the form attached as Exhibit D.
9.2 Permitted Transfers. A Member may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Units to a wholly owned Subsidiary of such Member (a “Permitted Transferee”), provided that (a) the Permitted Transferee executes a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D, (b) the transferring Member remains jointly and severally liable with the Permitted Transferee for all obligations under this Agreement, including the Capital Commitment, (c) the Units are transferred back to the transferring Member immediately prior to the Permitted Transferee ceasing to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of such Member, and (d) such Transfer does not result in any adverse tax consequence to CMJV or the other Member.
9.3 Right of First Refusal.
(a) If, after the period described in Section 9.1, a Member (the “Selling Member”) receives a bona fide written offer from a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Selling Member (the “Third-Party Offeror”) to purchase all (but not less than all) of its Units for cash, which the Selling Member desires to accept, the Selling Member shall deliver to the other Member (the “ROFR Holder”) a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) setting forth the identity of the Third-Party Offeror (and its ultimate beneficial owners), the number of Units, the cash purchase price, and all other material terms of the proposed Transfer, together with a copy of the offer.
(b) The ROFR Holder shall have the right, exercisable by written notice delivered within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “ROFR Period”), to purchase all (but not less than all) of the offered Units at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. If the ROFR Holder exercises such right, the closing of such purchase shall occur within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the ROFR Period (subject to extension for required regulatory approvals).
(c) If the ROFR Holder does not exercise its right within the ROFR Period, the Selling Member may, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the ROFR Period, Transfer the offered Units to the Third-Party Offeror at a price not less than, and on terms not more favorable to the Third-Party Offeror than, those set forth in the Transfer Notice, subject to Sections 9.4 and 9.6. If such Transfer is not consummated within such ninety (90) day period, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall again apply.
9.4 Tag-Along Right. If the Selling Member proposes to Transfer Units to a Third-Party Offeror pursuant to Section 9.3(c), the ROFR Holder shall have the right, exercisable by written notice within the ROFR Period, to require the Third-Party Offeror to purchase all of the ROFR Holder’s Units at the same price per Unit and on the same terms and conditions, and the Selling Member shall not consummate the Transfer unless the Third-Party Offeror purchases the ROFR Holder’s Units concurrently. Any representations, warranties and indemnities given by the tagging Member shall be several and not joint, limited to title to its Units and its authority, and capped at the proceeds received by it.
31
9.5 Drag-Along Right. For so long as the Members hold equal Percentage Interests, no Member shall have any drag-along right, and any sale of CMJV or of all of the Units shall require the approval of both Members as a Reserved Matter. If at any time after the Parity Date a Member holds a Percentage Interest of at least [seventy-five percent (75%)] (the “Majority Member”), the Majority Member may require the other Member to Transfer all of its Units to a bona fide third-party purchaser that is not an Affiliate of the Majority Member on the same terms and at the same price per Unit, provided that the price per Unit is not less than the greater of (a) the Contribution Price and (b) the Fair Market Value per Unit.
9.6 Conditions to Third-Party Transfers. No Transfer of Units to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee shall be effective unless (a) the transferee executes a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D, (b) the transferee is not a competitor of CM, FBM or the non-transferring Member, a sanctioned Person, or a Person whose ownership would reasonably be expected to cause CM, FBM, CMJV or the non-transferring Member to violate Applicable Law (including Israeli defense export control laws) or to lose any material permit or contract, (c) the Transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (d) the transferring Member has funded in full any Matching Commitment then due, and (e) if the transferring Member is VisionWave and the CM Acquisition Closing has not occurred, the transferee assumes the Retained Obligations or VisionWave remains liable therefor.
9.7 Change of Control of a Member. A change of control of a Member (meaning the acquisition by any Person or group of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such Member, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Member, or a merger in which the stockholders of such Member immediately prior thereto hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity) shall not constitute a Transfer, provided that (a) the Member gives the other Member not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof (or, if such notice is prohibited by Applicable Law, prompt notice thereafter), and (b) if the acquirer is a competitor of CM, FBM or the other Member or a Person described in Section 9.6(b), the other Member shall have the right, exercisable within sixty (60) days after such change of control, to purchase all of the Units of the Member undergoing the change of control at Fair Market Value.
9.8 Encumbrances. No Member shall pledge, hypothecate or otherwise Encumber its Units without the prior written consent of the other Member, except that a Member may pledge its Units to a bona fide financial institution as security for indebtedness of such Member if the pledgee agrees in writing that any foreclosure or Transfer upon enforcement shall be subject to Sections 9.3, 9.4 and 9.6.
9.9 Legend. Each certificate or book-entry position representing Units shall bear a legend substantially as follows: “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION.

ARTICLE X
FUNDING DEFAULT
10.1 Funding Default. A “Funding Default” shall occur if (a) Sadot fails to fund any Matching Advance in full on or before the funding date specified in the applicable Funding Notice, or fails to satisfy any Minimum Funding Milestone, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from CMJV or VisionWave, or (b) either Member fails to fund its share of the expenses of CMJV under Section 7.12 or any additional capital approved as a Reserved Matter and subscribed for by such Member, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice. The Member that has committed a Funding Default is the “Defaulting Member” and the other Member is the “Non-Defaulting Member”.
10.2 Interest on Overdue Amounts. Any amount that a Member fails to fund when due shall bear interest from the due date until funded at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%), compounded monthly, and such interest shall be payable to CMJV for the benefit of the Non-Defaulting Member and shall not entitle the Defaulting Member to any Units.
10.3 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Funding Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity (including specific performance under Section 16.10) and in addition to the True-Up under Section 4.6, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the following rights, which are cumulative:
(a) Suspension of Distributions. CMJV shall withhold all distributions otherwise payable to the Defaulting Member and apply them first to any interest under Section 10.2 and then to the defaulted amount, and the balance shall be distributed to the Non-Defaulting Member as an advance against future distributions.
(b) Cure Contribution. The Non-Defaulting Member may, but shall not be obligated to, fund all or any portion of the defaulted amount (a “Cure Contribution”), in which case CMJV shall issue to the Non-Defaulting Member a number of Units equal to the Cure Contribution divided by ninety percent (90%) of the Contribution Price, and the Capital Commitment (and the Matching Commitment) of the Defaulting Member shall be reduced by the amount of the Cure Contribution, with the result that a corresponding number of the Defaulting Member’s Units shall be cancelled at the True-Up Date in accordance with Section 4.6.
(c) Suspension of Governance Rights. The Defaulting Member’s rights to approve Reserved Matters (subject to Section 7.7) and to designate Managers shall be suspended, and its Managers shall be deemed to have abstained from all votes, until the Funding Default is cured in full (including interest under Section 10.2). During such suspension, the quorum requirement in Section 7.3(b) shall be satisfied by the presence of the Managers designated by the Non-Defaulting Member.
(d) No Termination of Capital Commitment by Sadot. For the avoidance of doubt, Sadot may not terminate or reduce the Capital Commitment other than as expressly provided in Sections 4.2(b), 4.6 and 15.2, and a Funding Default shall not relieve Sadot of its obligation to fund the Capital Commitment prior to the True-Up Date, the True-Up being in addition to, and not in substitution for, VisionWave’s right to enforce the Capital Commitment by specific performance prior to the True-Up Date.
10.4 VisionWave Default. If VisionWave commits a Willful Breach of Section 6.3 or 6.4, or fails to perform the Retained Obligations at the CM Acquisition Closing, and such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice from Sadot, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Sadot (including under Article XIV and Section 15.3), (a) VisionWave’s rights to approve Reserved Matters and to designate Managers shall be suspended, mutatis mutandis, as provided in Section 10.3(c) until such breach is cured, and (b) Sadot may suspend the funding of Matching Advances until such breach is cured, and the Funding Period and each Minimum Funding Milestone shall be extended by the period of such suspension.
33
ARTICLE XI
DEADLOCK; VALUATION
11.1 Deadlock. A “Deadlock” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) a Reserved Matter has been proposed in writing by a Member or Manager at two (2) duly convened meetings of the Board (or in two (2) written requests for Member approval) held not less than ten (10) Business Days apart, (b) the Reserved Matter has not been approved at either such meeting (or within ten (10) Business Days after the second such request), and (c) the Member proposing the matter delivers written notice to the other Member that a Deadlock has occurred (a “Deadlock Notice”). No Deadlock shall arise from the failure to approve a matter described in Section 7.6(a), (b), (c), (o) or (p), it being agreed that the status quo shall prevail with respect to such matters.
11.2 Escalation. Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a Deadlock Notice, the chief executive officers of VisionWave and Sadot shall meet (in person or by video conference) and negotiate in good faith to resolve the Deadlock. If the Deadlock is not resolved within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Deadlock Notice, the chairpersons of the boards of directors of VisionWave and Sadot shall meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the Deadlock. If the Deadlock is not resolved within forty (40) Business Days after delivery of the Deadlock Notice, either Member may refer the Deadlock to non-binding mediation administered by JAMS in New York, New York, with the costs of mediation shared equally.
11.3 Consequences of Unresolved Deadlock.
(a) If a Deadlock remains unresolved sixty (60) Business Days after delivery of the Deadlock Notice, the status quo shall continue with respect to the matter in Deadlock, and CMJV shall continue to be operated in accordance with the then-current Approved Budget and this Agreement. Neither Member shall be entitled to any buy-sell, put, call or forced-sale remedy solely by reason of a Deadlock, except as provided in Section 11.3(b).
(b) [If, after the Parity Date, a Deadlock relating to (i) the sale of the Purchased Shares or the CM Rights, (ii) the enforcement of remedies under the CM Loan Documents following an Event of Default, or (iii) the approval of an annual budget for CM remains unresolved for one hundred twenty (120) Business Days after delivery of the Deadlock Notice, either Member (the “Initiating Member”) may deliver to the other Member (the “Responding Member”) a written offer specifying a single cash price per Unit (the “Offer Price”) at which the Initiating Member is willing either to purchase all of the Responding Member’s Units or to sell all of its own Units. The Responding Member shall, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such offer, elect by written notice either to sell all of its Units to the Initiating Member or to purchase all of the Initiating Member’s Units, in either case at the Offer Price. Failure to elect shall be deemed an election to sell. The closing of such purchase shall occur within sixty (60) days after such election, subject to extension for required regulatory approvals.]
11.4 Fair Market Value. Whenever Fair Market Value is to be determined under this Agreement, the Members shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such value within fifteen (15) Business Days. Failing agreement, each Member shall, within a further ten (10) Business Days, appoint an independent, nationally recognized investment bank or valuation firm with experience valuing businesses similar to CM, each of which shall deliver its determination within thirty (30) days after appointment. If the two determinations differ by ten percent (10%) or less of the higher determination, Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two. If they differ by more than ten percent (10%), the two firms shall jointly appoint a third such firm, which shall select whichever of the two determinations it considers closer to Fair Market Value, and that determination shall be final and binding. Fair Market Value shall be determined without any discount for lack of marketability or minority interest and shall take into account the value of the CM Rights, the CM Loans and the CM Collateral and, if the CM Acquisition Closing has occurred, the Purchased Shares. Each Member shall bear the cost of the firm it appoints, and the cost of the third firm shall be shared equally.

(c) No public statement by either Member shall (i) state or imply that Sadot or VisionWave owns any equity interest in CM prior to the CM Acquisition Closing, (ii) characterize the Matching Advances as a purchase price paid to VisionWave, or (iii) characterize the Entry Premium Shares as consideration for an interest in CM, and each Member shall use the descriptions set forth in Section 6.2(c) and this Section 13.2(c) in describing the transactions in its SEC filings and press releases.
13.3 Compliance with Laws; Sanctions; Anti-Corruption. Each party shall, and shall cause CMJV to, comply with all Applicable Law in connection with this Agreement and the CM Rights, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the sanctions laws administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, Israeli defense export control laws (including the Defense Export Control Law, 5767-2007) to the extent applicable to CM or FBM, and applicable anti-money laundering laws. Neither Member shall cause or permit CMJV to make any payment or provide anything of value to any government official or other Person in violation of such laws.

13.4 Exclusivity; Corporate Opportunity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the date on which a Member ceases to hold Units, neither Member shall, and each Member shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (a) acquire or seek to acquire any equity, debt or other interest in CM, FBM, the Seller’s interest in CM, or any joint venture between CM or FBM and Belrise, other than through CMJV, (b) enter into any financing, security, participation or similar arrangement with CM, FBM or the Seller other than through CMJV, or (c) solicit or induce CM, FBM, the Seller, Giza or Belrise to take any action inconsistent with the Share Purchase Agreement, the CM Loan Documents or this Agreement. Any such opportunity of which a Member or its Affiliates becomes aware shall be promptly offered to CMJV. Nothing in this Section 13.4 restricts either Member from conducting any other business, including businesses that compete with CM or FBM, and no Member shall have any obligation to offer any other business opportunity to CMJV or the other Member.
13.5 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and take such further actions as any other party may reasonably request to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including any actions required under Israeli law to give effect to the assignment of the CM Rights and any filings required with the Israeli Registrar of Companies, the Registrar of Pledges or Nasdaq.
13.6 Tax Matters. The Members intend that CMJV be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, and CMJV shall not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation without the approval of both Members as a Reserved Matter. Items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of CMJV shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests, subject to such adjustments as are required by Section 704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the requirements of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code), and CMJV shall maintain capital accounts for the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

The Members shall cooperate in good faith regarding any Israeli tax filings or withholding certificates relating to payments from CM. Each Member shall bear its own taxes arising from its ownership of Units.

Each Member shall promptly notify the other Member and CMJV of (a) any breach of this Agreement by such Member, (b) any event that would reasonably be expected to cause any of its representations or warranties to become untrue in any material respect, (c) any notice of delisting or non-compliance received from Nasdaq, and (d) any change of control or insolvency event affecting such Member.

ARTICLE XIV
INDEMNIFICATION
14.1 Indemnification by VisionWave. From and after the Closing, VisionWave shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sadot, CMJV and their respective Representatives (the “Sadot Indemnitees”) from and against all Losses incurred by any of them arising out of or resulting from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of VisionWave or CMJV in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of VisionWave or CMJV in this Agreement, (c) the Retained Obligations, and (d) any liability of VisionWave or VisionWave Israel under the Share Purchase Agreement or the CM Loan Documents arising from acts or omissions prior to the Closing.
14.2 Indemnification by Sadot. From and after the Closing, Sadot shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless VisionWave, CMJV and their respective Representatives (the “VisionWave Indemnitees”) from and against all Losses incurred by any of them arising out of or resulting from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sadot in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Sadot in this Agreement, including any Funding Default, and (c) any fee or commission payable to Softech or any other broker, finder or origination agent engaged by Sadot.
14.3 Limitations.
(a) No indemnifying party shall be liable under Section 14.1(a) or 14.2(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations or fraud) unless and until the aggregate Losses of the indemnified parties exceed U.S. $100,000, in which case the indemnifying party shall be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.
(b) The aggregate liability of VisionWave under Section 14.1(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations or fraud) shall not exceed the value of the Entry Premium Shares, calculated at the closing price of Sadot Common Stock on Nasdaq on the Closing Date. The aggregate liability of Sadot under Section 14.2(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations or fraud) shall not exceed the same amount. The aggregate liability of either Member under this Article XIV in respect of Fundamental Representations shall not exceed the sum of such amount and the aggregate cash contributions made by the other Member to CMJV. Nothing in this Section 14.3 limits any liability for fraud, Willful Breach or a Funding Default, or the right to specific performance.
(c) No party shall be liable for punitive, exemplary or speculative damages, or for consequential damages or lost profits that were not reasonably foreseeable, except to the extent awarded to a third party.
(d) Losses shall be calculated net of insurance proceeds and other third-party recoveries actually received, and each indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses. Any indemnity payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the consideration for tax purposes to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
(e) VisionWave may, at its election, satisfy any indemnification obligation to Sadot by the transfer to Sadot of Entry Premium Shares valued at the closing price of Sadot Common Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day preceding the date of such transfer.
14.4 Procedures. The procedures set forth in Section 7.5 of the Share Purchase Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to claims for indemnification under this Article XIV, with references to “Buyer” and “Seller” being read as references to the indemnified and indemnifying parties, respectively.
14.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, Willful Breach or claims for specific performance or injunctive relief, and except as provided in Article X and Section 15.3, this Article XIV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XV
TERM; TERMINATION; LONG-STOP FAILURE; ENTRY PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT
15.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until the earliest of (a) the dissolution and winding up of CMJV in accordance with Section 15.4, (b) the date on which one Member (together with its Permitted Transferees) holds all of the outstanding Units, and (c) the written agreement of the Members to terminate this Agreement.
15.2 Long-Stop Failure.
(a) A “Long-Stop Failure” shall occur if (i) the CM Acquisition Closing has not occurred on or before the Outside Closing Date, (ii) the Share Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (including pursuant to Section 8.1(g) thereof following the Belrise Long-Stop Date), or (iii) the Seller or CM repudiates the Share Purchase Agreement or becomes the subject of any insolvency, receivership or liquidation proceeding that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
(b) Upon a Long-Stop Failure: (i) the Matching Commitment shall automatically terminate, and Sadot shall have no obligation to fund any further Matching Advances, unless Sadot elects otherwise by written notice to VisionWave within thirty (30) days after the Long-Stop Failure; (ii) the True-Up shall apply as of the date of such termination in accordance with Section 4.6(d), unless Sadot elects to fund the Unfunded Amount as provided therein; (iii) all Matching Advances previously funded, and the Units held by Sadot after giving effect to the True-Up, shall remain outstanding, and Sadot shall continue to hold such Units and all rights under this Agreement in respect thereof; (iv) CMJV shall continue to hold the CM Loans, the CM Loan Documents and the CM Collateral, and the Members shall consult in good faith regarding the enforcement, restructuring, conversion (subject to the March Side Letter), sale or other realization of the CM Loans as a Reserved Matter; and (v) the provisions of this Agreement shall otherwise continue in effect.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 15.2(b)(i), if a Long-Stop Failure occurs and, within twelve (12) months thereafter, CMJV or VisionWave enters into any agreement to acquire any equity interest in CM or FBM (whether by conversion of the CM Loans, enforcement of the CM Collateral, a new purchase agreement or otherwise), Sadot shall have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, to reinstate the Capital Commitment (as reduced by Matching Advances previously funded), to have reissued to it the Units cancelled in the True-Up upon funding of the reinstated Capital Commitment, and to participate in such acquisition through CMJV on the terms of this Agreement.
15.3 Treatment of Entry Premium Shares upon Certain Failures.
(a) Except as provided in Section 15.3(b), the Entry Premium Shares shall be retained by VisionWave notwithstanding any Long-Stop Failure, the failure of the Belrise Condition, any termination of the Share Purchase Agreement, or any other failure of the CM Acquisition to be consummated, it being acknowledged that the Entry Premium Shares are consideration for Sadot’s admission to the CM opportunity and not for the consummation of the CM Acquisition, and that the risk that the Belrise Condition is not satisfied is a risk assumed by both Members.
42
(b) If a Long-Stop Failure occurs and the primary cause thereof is (i) a Willful Breach by VisionWave of Section 6.3, 6.4 or 13.4, (ii) VisionWave’s failure to perform the Retained Obligations at a CM Acquisition Closing that would otherwise have occurred, or (iii) the inaccuracy, as of the Closing Date, of any of the representations in Sections 12.2(a), 12.2(c) or 12.2(g) such that VisionWave did not in fact hold the CM Rights represented by it, then VisionWave shall, within thirty (30) days after written demand by Sadot, at Sadot’s election, either (A) transfer to Sadot for cancellation, free and clear of all Encumbrances, a number of Entry Premium Shares (or, if VisionWave no longer holds such shares, other shares of Sadot Common Stock) equal to [fifty percent (50%)] of the Entry Premium Shares, or (B) pay to Sadot in cash an amount equal to the value of such shares at the closing price of Sadot Common Stock on Nasdaq on the Closing Date.
(c) The remedy in Section 15.3(b) is in addition to, and not in lieu of, Sadot’s rights under Article XIV, but any amount recovered under Section 15.3(b) shall be credited against any Losses recoverable under Article XIV arising from the same facts.
15.4 Dissolution and Winding Up. CMJV shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon (a) the approval of both Members as a Reserved Matter, (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of CMJV and the distribution of the proceeds thereof, or (c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under NRS 86.495. Upon dissolution, the assets of CMJV shall be applied first to the payment of its liabilities and the establishment of reasonable reserves, second to the payment of any unpaid Priority Return, and thereafter distributed to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests (or, prior to the Parity Date, in accordance with Section 8.2(b)). If the assets of CMJV include the CM Loans or the Purchased Shares and the Members do not agree on their sale, such assets shall be distributed in kind to the Members as tenants in common in accordance with their Percentage Interests, and the Members shall enter into a customary co-lender or co-ownership agreement in respect thereof. Upon completion of the winding up, the Board shall cause articles of dissolution to be filed in accordance with NRS 86.541.
15.5 Survival. The termination of this Agreement or the cessation of a Member’s status as such shall not relieve any party of any liability accrued prior thereto, and Articles XIII (for the periods stated therein), XIV and XVI and Sections 4.6, 8.2(a), 15.3 and 15.4 shall survive.
