**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On August 1, 2025, Joby Aviation, Inc., (the "<u>Company</u>") and Joby Aero, Inc. ("<u>Buyer</u>"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Equity Purchase Agreement</u>"), by and among the Company, Buyer, Blade Air Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Seller</u>"), Trinity Medical Intermediate II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>NewCo</u>"), and Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Blade Subsidiary</u>" and together with Seller and NewCo, the "<u>Seller Parties</u>"), for Buyer's purchase of the passenger segment of the business operated by Seller and the Blade Subsidiary (the "<u>Business</u>"). The Equity Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Seller will, and will cause NewCo to sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, all of the outstanding equity interests of the Blade Subsidiary (the "<u>Equity Purchase</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions specified in, the Equity Purchase Agreement, which has been approved by the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of Seller, Buyer will pay an aggregate amount up to $125 million as consideration for the Equity Purchase (the "<u>Purchase Price</u>"). The Purchase Price includes (i) approximately $80 million in consideration payable to Seller upon the consummation of the Equity Purchase (the "<u>Closing</u>"), subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Closing Consideration</u>"), (ii) up to $10 million in consideration that will be withheld by Buyer for 18 months as partial security for, and subject to reduction in respect of, Seller's indemnification obligations under the Equity Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Holdback Consideration</u>"), (iii) up to $17.5 million in consideration that will become payable to Seller, if at all, subject to the Business's achievement of certain EBITDA milestones during the 12-month period following the Closing (the "<u>EBITDA Earn-Out Consideration</u>") and (iv) up to $17.5 million in consideration that will become payable to Seller, if at all, subject to Buyer's retention of certain key personnel of the Business during the 18-month period following the Closing (the "<u>Retention Earn-Out Consideration</u>" and, together with the Closing Consideration, the Holdback Consideration and the EBITDA Earn-Out Consideration, the "<u>Consideration</u>").

All or any portion of the Consideration payable by Buyer pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement may be paid, at Buyer's election, in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("<u>Common Stock</u>" and any such share consideration, the "<u>Share Consideration</u>"), with any such Common Stock issued at a per share price equal to the average of the daily volume-weighted average sales price per share on the New York Stock Exchange, as such daily volume-weighted average sales price per share is reported by Bloomberg L.P., calculated to four decimal places and determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside the regular trading session trading hours, for each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and including the first trading day preceding the date on which Buyer becomes obligated to pay the applicable portion of the Consideration for which it elects to issue Share Consideration. The Company intends to issue any Common Stock constituting Share Consideration in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will file a supplement to the prospectus included in the Company's existing Registration Statement filed on Form S-3 on October 24, 2024 (Registration No. 333-282809), covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement.

The obligation of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary conditions to Closing, including, among others, (a) the Seller Parties' entry into an Asset Transfer Agreement and a Contribution and Conversion Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, which are intended to separate the Seller Parties' passenger segment from its medical transport segment, (b) the receipt of certain specified required regulatory approvals, (c) the absence of any law or order that is in effect which restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement (a "<u>Closing Legal Impediment</u>"), (d) the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer being true and correct, subject to the materiality standards contained in the Equity Purchase Agreement, and the Seller Parties and Buyer having complied in all material respects with their respective obligations under the Equity Purchase Agreement, (e) the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to Buyer or the Seller Parties, (f) receipt by Buyer and Seller of certain agreements and certificates, (g) the absence of any proceeding seeking to prevent the consummation of the transactions or seeking an award of damages against the Buyer or the Business if the Closing is consummated (other

------

than damages that would not be expected to have a material adverse effect), and (h) the retention of certain employees of the Business.

Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, no Seller Party may solicit alternative transaction proposals. The Equity Purchase Agreement can be terminated at any time by written consent of Seller and Buyer. Additionally, the Equity Purchase Agreement can be terminated (a) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to December 1, 2025, (b) by either Seller or Buyer if any Closing Legal Impediment is in effect and has become final and non-appealable, (c) by either Seller or Buyer, as applicable, if the other party materially breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants in the Equity Purchase Agreement (and does not cure such material breach within 30 days after written notice thereof) such that the conditions to closing the Equity Purchase relating thereto would not be satisfied at the Closing and (d) by Buyer if the Asset Transfer Agreement or the Contribution and Conversion Agreement is terminated.

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions by Seller with respect to losses and liabilities, among others, arising from, as a result of or connected with: (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Seller; (b) the performance of Seller's covenants; (c) Seller's medical transport business, the assets and liabilities related thereto and the pre-closing reorganization; and (d) pre-closing tax liabilities. Buyer has also agreed to indemnify Seller for any losses and liabilities relating to the operation of the Business by Buyer following the Closing.

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties given by Seller and Buyer. The Seller Parties have agreed to various covenants, including, among others, an agreement to conduct the Business in the ordinary course during the period prior to the Closing and not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period, subject to certain exceptions. The Equity Purchase Agreement generally requires each party to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the required regulatory approvals and to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied, subject to certain limitations.

Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the parties will enter into certain ancillary agreements including (a) a Restrictive Covenant Agreement, pursuant to which Seller will be subject to certain noncompetition and nonsolicitation obligations in respect of the Business and (b) a Commercial Agreement, pursuant to which (i) Buyer will become Seller's preferred partner for Seller's organ transport business, (ii) upon Buyer's introduction of an operational electric vertical takeoff and landing ("<u>eVTOL</u>") aircraft business, Buyer and Seller will negotiate for the purpose of establishing a similar partnership in respect of the transport of human organs utilizing Buyer's eVTOL aircraft and (iii) Seller will provide Buyer a right of first offer with respect to Seller's procurement of any eVTOL aircraft.

The foregoing description of the Equity Purchase and the Equity Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Equity Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of Buyer, on the one hand, and of Seller, on the other hand, made solely for the benefit of the other party. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Equity Purchase Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, investors and securityholders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Equity Purchase Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Buyer, the Seller Parties or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Equity Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The Parties agree that any payment made by a Seller under this <u>Section 2.02(b)</u> shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for U.S. federal income and other applicable Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)No later than five (5) calendar days prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer will deliver to Seller written notice (the "<u>Closing Consideration Election Notice</u>"), setting forth (i) the Closing Cash Percentage and (ii) the Closing Stock Percentage which together with the Closing Cash Percentage shall equal one hundred percent (100%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)To the extent the Closing Stock Percentage in the Closing Consideration Election Notice is not zero, no earlier than the first trading day preceding the Closing Date and no later than immediately prior to the Closing, the Buyer will deliver to Seller written notice (the "<u>VWAP Reference Price Notice</u>"), setting forth the Closing VWAP Reference Price.

Section 2.03<u>Closing Adjustment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Pre-Closing Estimate</u>. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a statement (the "<u>Estimated Closing Statement</u>") certified by the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer of Seller, setting forth (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Transferred Entities as of as of immediately prior to Closing and (ii) setting forth Seller's good faith estimate of (A) Closing Net Working Capital (such estimate, "<u>Estimated Closing Net Working Capital</u>"), (B) Closing Indebtedness (such estimate, "<u>Estimated Closing Indebtedness</u>"), (C) Closing Cash (such estimate, "<u>Estimated Closing Cash</u>") and (D) Closing Unpaid Transaction Expenses (such estimate, "<u>Estimated Unpaid Transaction Expenses</u>"). Seller shall deliver reasonable supporting calculations and documentation of such calculations concurrently with the delivery of such Estimated Closing Statement. After delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Seller shall consult with the Buyer and its accountants with respect to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement as reasonably requested by Buyer and review any reasonable comments proposed by the Buyer with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement, and will consider, in good faith, any appropriate changes thereto prior to the Closing; *provided*, that in no event shall such consultation or review delay the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Post-Closing Adjustment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement (the "<u>Buyer Closing Statement</u>") setting forth in reasonable detail the Buyer's good faith calculation of the Adjustment Amount (including its good faith calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Unpaid Transaction Expenses), together with reasonable supporting documentation of such calculations. In the event the Buyer does not deliver to the Buyer Closing Statement in accordance with this <u>Section 2.03</u>, the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Unpaid Transaction Expenses set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Adjustment Amount (as finally determined in accordance with this <u>Section 2.03</u>) shall be deemed to equal zero.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)During the sixty (60) day period commencing upon receipt by Seller of the Buyer Closing Statement (the "<u>Review Period</u>"), Buyer shall provide Seller and any accountants or advisors retained by Seller with reasonable access to the books and records of the Transferred Entities for the purposes of (A) enabling Seller and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review Buyer's calculation of, the Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Buyer Closing Statement and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If Seller disputes the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, then Seller shall deliver a written notice (an "<u>Adjustment Dispute Notice</u>") to

------

the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period. The Adjustment Dispute Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the principal basis for the dispute of such calculation and Seller's determination of the Adjustment Amount (including its proposed calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Unpaid Transaction Expenses and supporting documentation of such calculations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)If Seller does not deliver an Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the Buyer and Seller as the Adjustment Amount for all purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)If Seller delivers an Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then Seller and the Buyer shall meet, confer and exchange any additional relevant information reasonably requested by the other party regarding the computation of the Adjustment Amount for a period of twenty (20) calendar days following the delivery of the Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer, and use reasonable best efforts to resolve by written agreement (the "<u>Agreed Modifications</u>") any differences as to the Adjustment Amount. In the event the Buyer and Seller so resolve any such differences, the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, as adjusted by the Agreed Modifications shall be final and binding as the Adjustment Amount for all purposes of this Agreement. If Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement on the calculation of the Adjustment Amount within the twenty (20) calendar day period following the delivery of the Adjustment Dispute Notice to the Buyer, then either Seller or the Buyer may submit the objections, including details of their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute, to a nationally recognized accounting firm with an active practice area focused on post-mergers and acquisitions purchase price dispute resolution mutually acceptable to Seller and the Buyer (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the "<u>Designated Accounting Firm</u>") after such twentieth (20<sup>th</sup>) day. In resolving any disputed item, the Designated Accounting Firm (x) shall determine Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Unpaid Transaction Expenses in accordance with the respective definitions thereof, (y) shall limit its review to matters still in dispute as specifically set forth in the Adjustment Dispute Notice (and only to the extent such matters are still in dispute) and (z) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Designated Accounting Firm shall be directed by the Buyer and Seller to resolve the unresolved objections as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, in any event, within thirty (30) calendar days of such referral, and, upon reaching such determination, to deliver a copy of its calculations (the "<u>Expert Calculations</u>") to the Buyer and Seller. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm, each of the Buyer, Seller and their respective advisors and accountants shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide their respective views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount; *provided*, that all communications with the Designated Accounting Firm shall include at least one Representative of each of the Buyer and Seller, and no party shall be permitted to communicate with the Designated Accounting Firm other than as expressly set forth herein and shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The determination of the Adjustment Amount made by the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Buyer and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. The Expert Calculations (A) shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the calculation of the Adjustment Amount reflected in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, (B) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, shall be no

------

greater than the higher amount calculated by the Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by the Buyer or Seller, as the case may be and (C) shall be based solely on the written materials submitted by the Buyer and Seller (*i.e.*, not on independent review).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total $1,000 and the Designated Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of Seller's position, then 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Buyer and 40% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this <u>Section 2.03</u>, is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the "<u>Shortfall Amount</u>") then, Seller will pay (or cause to be paid) to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer to Seller, an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this <u>Section 2.03</u>, is zero or a positive number (such positive number, the "<u>Excess Amount</u>"), then Parent will promptly pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to the Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the Excess Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Parties agree that any payment made by a party under this <u>Section 2.03</u> shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for U.S. federal income and other applicable Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 2.04<u>Seller RSU Awards</u>. Each Seller RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of the Closing and held by a Continuing Employee other than Robert Wiesenthal (each, an "Unvested Seller RSU Award"), without any action on the part of Seller, the Buyer, NewCo, the holder of such Company RSU Award or any other Person, will be cancelled at the Closing and substituted by the Buyer as an award of Parent restricted stock units (a "<u>Buyer RSU Award</u>"), subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Seller RSU Award immediately prior to the Closing except that such Buyer RSU Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Parent plan pursuant to which it is granted and comprised of that number of Parent restricted stock units ("<u>Buyer RSUs</u>"), each of which shall constitute the right to be issued a Buyer Share following vesting, calculated by multiplying the number of unvested Seller RSUs comprising such Unvested Seller RSU Award as of the Effective Time by the Substitution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole Buyer RSU. Each Buyer RSU Award shall continue to be subject to the same service-based vesting schedule as was applicable to the related Unvested Seller RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (*provided, however*, that, with respect to each Buyer RSU, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the original vesting dates scheduled to occur following the Effective Time to align with Parent's standard vesting dates).

Section 2.05<u>Withholding</u>. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Seller Parties or any other Person such amounts as the Buyer or its Affiliate is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment; *<u>provided</u>*,

------

that, other than with respect to withholding required for any compensatory payments to current or former employees or as a result of failure to deliver an IRS Form W-9 pursuant to <u>Section 3.02(a)(xvi)</u>, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) notify Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of payment of any Taxes that it has determined are required to be deducted or withheld and the basis for such deduction or withholding and the proposed amount and (ii) cooperate with Seller to obtain any reduction of or relief from deduction or withholding of such Taxes with respect to the payments that are subject to such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.06<u>Fractional Shares</u>. If at any time Buyer Shares are issued to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the total number of Buyer Shares issued to Seller will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Buyer Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no fractional interest in a Buyer Share will be issued, and if, after aggregating all Buyer Shares (including fractional shares) to Seller in an issuance of Buyer Shares pursuant to this Agreement, such aggregate number of Buyer Shares includes a fraction of a Buyer Share, no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares will be issued hereunder and Seller will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) such fraction of a Buyer Share *multiplied by* (b) the Closing VWAP Reference Price, the EBITDA Earn-Out VWAP Reference Price, the Retention Earn-Out VWAP Reference Price or the Holdback Release VWAP Reference Price as applicable.

Section 2.07<u>Allocation of Purchase Price</u>. Within sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Closing Purchase Price pursuant to <u>Section 2.03</u>, the Buyer will provide Seller with a statement (or statements) (the "<u>Allocation Schedule</u>") with the Buyer's proposed allocation of Closing Purchase Price (and any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes) among the assets of each member of the Transferred Entities in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the methodology set forth on <u>Exhibit E</u>. Seller may, within thirty (30) days after receiving such Allocation Schedule, propose to the Buyer in writing any changes to such Allocation Schedule (the "<u>Allocation Notice of Objection</u>"), and if Seller does not deliver such Allocation Notice of Objection within such period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted such proposed Allocation Schedule and it shall become final and binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers an Allocation Notice of Objection, then the Buyer and Seller will cooperate in good faith for thirty (30) days after the Buyer's receipt of the Allocation Notice of Objection to resolve Seller's objections. If the parties are able to resolve such dispute, then the parties will cooperate to update the Allocation Schedule to reflect the resolution of such dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute, then such dispute will be resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm pursuant to procedures similar to those set forth in <u>Section 2.03(b)(v)</u>, *mutatis mutandis*. The Allocation Schedule as agreed by the parties or determined by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with this <u>Section 2.07</u> shall be final and binding on the Parties; *provided*, that such Allocation Schedule shall be updated to take into account any adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price under this Agreement, including pursuant to <u>Section 2.03(b)</u>. The Buyer and Seller agree that they shall each (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file all income Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refunds) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as adjusted hereunder).] For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income Tax purposes, any liability that is treated as assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions that is attributable to deferred revenue or prepaid amounts shall not be treated as giving rise to taxable income of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates under *James M. Pierce Corp. v. Commissioner*, 326 F.2d 67 (8<sup>th</sup>

------

Cir. 1964) and the Parties shall not take a Tax position that is inconsistent with the treatment described in the immediately preceding clause.

If the Parties agree to make any Section 338(g) election pursuant to the terms of this <u>Section 6.06(a)</u>, they shall cooperate to make any necessary updates to this Agreement.

------

such Tax Return by the Buyer, the Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of the draft of any Tax Return relating to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date for Seller's review; *provided*, *further*, that the Buyer shall incorporate all of Seller's reasonable written comments on such Tax Return (to the extent supported by applicable Law at a "more likely than not" or higher level of comfort) provided at least five (5) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return and shall not file such Tax Return without the prior written consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All representations and warranties made by the Buyer shall terminate and expire as of the Closing, and any Liability of the Buyer with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the acknowledgement and agreement of the Buyer set forth in <u>Section 5.08</u>, which shall survive the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in <u>Section 9.01(a)</u>, in the event of Fraud by a Party of any representation or warranty made by a Party in this Agreement or the Seller Closing Certificate or the Buyer Closing Certificate (as applicable), such representation or warranty, solely as to such claim for Fraud hereunder, shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the date on which all statutes of limitation applicable to such claims (as the same may be extended or waived) shall have expired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Seller has agreed that the Buyer Indemnitees' rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement contained in this <u>Article IX</u> relating to the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement, and such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnitees with respect thereto, shall not be waived, limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of (and the Buyer Indemnitees shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations notwithstanding) any information furnished to or any knowledge on the part of any of the Buyer Indemnitees or any of their Representatives (regardless of whether obtained through any investigation by any Buyer Indemnitee or any Representative of any Buyer Indemnitee or through disclosure by Seller or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement) or by reason of the fact that an Buyer Indemnitee or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate or untrue.

Section 9.02<u>Indemnity Holdback.</u>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to the limitations of this <u>Article IX</u>, the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall constitute partial security for the benefit of the Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnitee) with respect to any Losses for which the Buyer is entitled to indemnification under this <u>Article IX</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)No later than five (5) calendar days prior to the General Expiration Date, the Buyer will deliver to Seller written notice (the "<u>Holdback Consideration Election Notice</u>"), setting forth (i) the Holdback Cash Percentage and (ii) the Holdback Stock Percentage which together with the Holdback Cash Percentage shall equal one hundred percent (100%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the extent the Holdback Stock Percentage in the Holdback Consideration Election Notice is not zero, no earlier than the first trading day preceding the General Expiration Date, the Buyer will deliver to Seller written notice (the "<u>Holdback VWAP Reference Price Notice</u>"), setting forth a calculation of the Holdback Release VWAP Reference Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)No later than ten Business Days following the General Expiration Date, the Buyer will (i) pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to the Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the Indemnity Holdback Amount multiplied by (B) the Holdback Cash Percentage and (ii) issue (or cause to be issued) to Seller a number of Buyer Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of (A) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Indemnity Holdback Amount by (2) the Holdback Stock Percentage divided by (B) the Holdback Release VWAP Reference Price; *provided*, that the aggregate amount of the Indemnity Holdback Amount distributed to Seller pursuant to this <u>Section 9.01(d)</u> shall be calculated net of the portion of the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount that is determined, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of Buyer, to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed Claims for indemnification specified in any Officer's Claim Certificate properly delivered to Seller prior to the General Expiration Date in accordance with this <u>Article IX</u>. Any portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount withheld following the General Expiration Date with respect to a pending but unresolved claim for indemnification that is not awarded to the Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnitee) shall, upon the resolution of such claim, be released to Seller in accordance with the preceding procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Shares withheld from Seller in respect of the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall not be issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Buyer, and Seller shall not be entitled to exercise voting or any other rights, receive dividends, or sell, assign, pledge, transfer, subject to an Encumbrance, or otherwise encumber any right, with respect to any such Buyer Shares, in each case, until such time, if any, as such Buyer Shares are issued.

Section 9.04<u>Limitations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to <u>Section 9.04(c)</u>, Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to <u>Section 9.03(a)(i)(A)</u> for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, in the Contribution and Conversion Agreement or in the Asset Transfer Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Losses (including the Losses arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Losses arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Buyer Indemnitees as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or its Subsidiaries in this Agreement or the Asset Transfer Agreement or to which any one or more of the Buyer Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or its Subsidiaries in this Agreement, in the Contribution and Conversion Agreement or in the Asset Transfer Agreement, exceeds $500,000 (the "<u>Deductible</u>") in the aggregate (it being understood that if the total amount of such Losses exceeds the Deductible, then the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for such Losses that are in excess of the Deductible). No Losses shall be included in determining whether the Deductible has been reached unless, in the Buyer's first Officer's Claim Certificate seeking indemnification for such Losses in excess of the Deductible, a reasonably detailed accounting of such Losses is provided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The maximum liability of Seller for indemnification Claims under <u>Section 9.03(a)(i)(A)</u> shall not exceed the Initial Indemnity Holdback Amount. Recovery by a Buyer Indemnitee for Losses pursuant to <u>Section 9.03(a)(i)</u>(A) prior to the General Expiration Date shall (subject to Buyer's Set Off Right) first be satisfied by reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, as provided in <u>Section 9.05</u>. To the extent the Indemnity Holdback Amount is reduced with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement for which the maximum liability of Seller is not equal to the Initial Indemnity Holdback Amount pursuant to

------

this <u>Section 9.04(b)</u>, any such reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall not reduce the amount that the Buyer Indemnitees may recover with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that are subject to the limitation set forth in this <u>Section 9.04(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The limitations set forth in <u>Section 9.04(a)</u> and the first and second sentence of <u>Section 9.04(b)</u> shall not apply to any Claim for indemnification to the extent such Claim arises from or is a result of or directly or indirectly connected with, any breach of a Fundamental Representation or any Fraud by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives (regardless of whether such actions have been authorized).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement in no event shall: (i) Seller be liable to any Indemnitees for Losses under this <u>Article IX</u> in excess of the sum of (x) the Closing Adjusted Purchase Price plus (y) the amount of any Retention Earn-Out Payment or Achieved Earn-Out Payment that becomes payable pursuant to <u>Exhibit B</u> or <u>Exhibit D</u>; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this <u>Section 9.04(d)</u> shall not apply in the case of Fraud by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, in which event Seller shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for the full amount of Losses resulting from, arising out of or related to such Fraud; and (ii) the Buyer Indemnitor be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for Losses under this <u>Article IX</u> in an amount in excess of the sum of (x) the Closing Adjusted Purchase Price plus (y) the amount of any Retention Earn-Out Payment or Achieved Earn-Out Payment that becomes payable pursuant to <u>Exhibit B</u> or <u>Exhibit D</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The amount of any Losses that any Indemnitee may be entitled to recover shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any third-party insurance proceeds actually recovered by such Indemnitee from any third-party insurance carrier (net of any increase in insurance premiums, costs of collections, deductible, retroactive or other premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other costs directly related to the insurance claim (together, "<u>Insurance Costs</u>")) and (ii) the amount of any indemnity or contribution actually recovered by any Indemnitees from any third party (including as a result of any contractual indemnification or contribution provisions), net of any reasonable costs incurred in connection with recovering any such amounts. If the Indemnitees receive any such amounts under applicable insurance policies, third-party indemnification or contribution payments subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the Seller Indemnitor or Buyer Indemnitor, as applicable, then any excess Losses actually collected (net of costs and expenses of such recovery and Insurance Costs) shall be reasonably promptly reimbursed to the Seller Indemnitor or Buyer Indemnitor, as applicable, and in accordance with the release procedures set forth in <u>Section 9.04</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Absent Fraud, the indemnification provisions contained in this <u>Article IX</u> are the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses (and any other damages, claims or causes of action of any kind or nature) any Indemnitee may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Equity Purchase or the Transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that nothing in this <u>Section 9.04(f)</u> or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties' rights to specific performance or other equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing or any rights or remedies arising out of claims the Parties may have under any Ancillary Agreement). Notwithstanding

Section 9.05<u>Claims and Procedures</u>

.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If either Seller or the Buyer, as applicable (a "<u>Claiming Party</u>") determines in good faith that any such party or one or more of its respective Indemnitees has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u> (a "<u>Claim</u>"), such Claiming Party may deliver to the applicable Indemnitor a certificate signed by any officer of such Claiming Party (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 9.05(a)</u> an "<u>Officer's Claim Certificate</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)stating that an Indemnitee has a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u> and expressly identifying the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made in reasonable detail (including the specific representations, warranties and/or covenants that are alleged to be inaccurate or alleged to have been breached);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Losses such Indemnitee claims to have actually incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Claiming Party) the material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such Claim; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)providing copies or reasonably detailed summaries of any material documents reflecting or evidencing the basis for such claim (in each case, to the extent then known and in the control of the Claiming Party); provided, that no party shall have any obligation to provide any such materials if doing so would, in the reasonable good-faith discretion of such party, result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)No delay in providing such Officer's Claim Certificate shall affect an Indemnitee's rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitor, is actually and materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If the Indemnitor in good faith objects to any Claim made by the Claiming Party in any Officer's Claim Certificate, then the Indemnitor shall deliver a written notice (a "<u>Claim Dispute Notice</u>") to the Claiming Party during the thirty (30)-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnitor of the Officer's Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any Claim made by the Claiming Party in the Officer's Claim Certificate. If the Indemnitor does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Claiming Party prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, then (i) each Claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer's Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Claiming Party's favor for purposes of this <u>Article IX</u> on the terms set forth in the Officer's Claim Certificate, and (ii) subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, if such Officer's Claim Certificate is with respect to a Buyer Indemnitee Claim and the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount is greater than zero, (x) the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount and the amount of Losses set forth in such Officer's Claim Certificate and (y) Seller shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer, the amount of any such Losses not recovered by the reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (if any) and (iii) subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, in all other circumstances the Indemnitor shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Claiming Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by such Claiming Party, an amount in cash equal to the Losses set forth in such Officer's Claim Certificate in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Section 9.05(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If the Indemnitor delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the Claiming Party and the Indemnitor shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnitor in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the Claiming Party and the Indemnitor agree to a resolution of such objection, then (i) a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by such parties shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and (ii) subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, if such memorandum provides for payment of Losses in respect of a Buyer Indemnitee Claim and the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount is greater than zero, then (x) the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount and the amount of Losses payable to the Buyer as set forth in such memorandum and (y) Seller shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing

------

by the Buyer, the amount of any such Losses not recovered by the reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (if any) and (iii) subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, in all other circumstances the Indemnitor shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Claiming Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by such Claiming Party, an amount in cash equal to the Losses payable to the Claiming Party (if any) as set forth in such memorandum in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this <u>Section 9.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If no such resolution can be reached during the forty-five (45)-day period following a Claiming Party's receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such forty-five (45)-day period, either Buyer or Seller may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with <u>Section 10.11</u>. The final, nonappealable order, decision or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with <u>Section 10.11</u> as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's Claim Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Seller, and (i) with respect to a Buyer Indemnitee Claim that is resolved in favor of a Buyer Indemnitee, subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, (x) the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the amount then-remaining in the Indemnity Holdback Amount and the amount of Losses set forth in such Officer's Claim Certificate and (y) Seller shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer, the amount of any such Losses not recovered from the reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount (if any) and (iii) subject to the Buyer's Set Off Right, in all other circumstances the applicable Indemnitor shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Indemnitee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by such Indemnitee, an amount in cash equal to the Losses payable to such Indemnitee (if any) as set forth in such written decision in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this <u>Section 9.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Buyer's rights otherwise available under this <u>Section 9.05</u>) following such time as the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Buyer Losses on the basis of an undisputed claim or claim resolved in the Buyer Indemnitee's favor, Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, set off against any Retention Earn-Out Payment or Achieved Earn-Out Payment that becomes payable pursuant to <u>Exhibit B</u> or <u>Exhibit D</u>, such amounts with respect to which the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u>, applying such set off amounts against the Retention Earn-Out Payment or Achieved Earn-Out Payment, as applicable, in satisfaction, to the extent of such set off, of such owed Buyer Losses. Buyer's set off right under this <u>Section 9.05(f)</u> is referred to as the "<u>Set Off Right</u>".

Section 9.06<u>Third Party Claims</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding against a Buyer Indemnitee with respect to which Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u> (each, a "<u>Seller Third-Party Claim</u>"), the Buyer will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Seller Third-Party Claim (and, in any event, in the time period contemplated by

------

<u>Section 9.05(a)</u>), notify Seller of the commencement thereof (such notice, a "<u>Buyer Third-Party Claim Notice</u>"); *provided*, *however*, that any failure on the part of the Buyer to so notify Seller shall not limit any of the obligations of Seller under this <u>Article IX</u> (except to the extent such failure actually and materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). The Seller shall have the right to proceed with, and to control, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim on its own (with counsel of national standing reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer (and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP shall be deemed satisfactory to the Buyer)); *provided*, that (i) as a condition precedent to Seller's right to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim, the Seller must (A) within fifteen (15) days after a Buyer Indemnitee has given notice of such Seller Third-Party Claim, notify the Buyer that Seller is electing to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim, (B) such notice must include reasonably satisfactory evidence that Seller has sufficient resources to defend such Seller Third-Party Claim and (C) the Seller must irrevocably agree in writing with the Buyer to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against the entirety of any Losses (without any reservation of rights or other limitations (including the limitation set forth in Section 9.04(b) with respect to the Initial Indemnity Holdback Amount), other than as set forth in <u>Section 9.04(a)</u> and solely to the extent that such Losses are subject to the Deductible set forth therein) that the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer or incur or to which the Buyer Indemnitees may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of or are connected with such Seller Third-Party Claim and (ii) Seller may not assume control of the defense of, or conduct the defense of, any Seller Third-Party Claim (A) involving any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or seeking to impose any criminal penalty, fine or other sanction, (B) made by any Governmental Authority or to which any Governmental Authority is a named party, (C) in which relief other than monetary Losses is sought, including any injunctive or other equitable relief, (D) which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, in the good faith judgment of the Buyer, to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of any Buyer Indemnitee or its Affiliates, (E) involving any proceeding, action, claim, indictment, allegation or investigation relating to worker classification, vicarious liability, joint employment, product liability, understandings with any labor or trade union, works council, representative body or similar organization, or the scope, validity or enforceability of arbitration provisions or terms of service, end user license agreements or similar arrangements, (F) involving any Proceeding, action, claim, indictment, allegation or investigation relating to Taxes or (G) that could, in the good faith judgment of Buyer, reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the maximum liability of the Seller Indemnitors under this <u>Article IX</u>. If Seller proceeds with the defense of any such Seller Third-Party Claim, the Buyer and its counsel (at the Buyer's sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim in a manner that would not result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege. If Seller so proceeds with the defense of any such Seller Third-Party Claim, the Buyer shall make available to Seller any documents and materials in the Buyer's possession or control that may be reasonably necessary to the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim. Seller will give the Buyer written notice of the Seller's intention to settle any such Seller Third-Party Claim at least ten (10) days prior to the settlement of any such Seller Third-Party Claim (the "<u>Seller Third-Party Claim Settlement Notice Period</u>"). Seller shall not settle any Seller Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably

------

withheld, conditioned or delayed); *provided*, *however*, that Seller shall be permitted to settle a Seller Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer if all of the following are true: (1) Losses are recovered solely from the reduction of the Indemnity Holdback Amount or otherwise satisfied in full substantially concurrently with such settlement; (2) Seller has given the Buyer notice in accordance with the foregoing sentence; (3) no non-monetary, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against any Buyer Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates; (4) there is no finding or admission of wrongdoing, any violation of applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any party by any Buyer Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates and (5) the settlement includes (x) an express, unconditional and unqualified release from any and all Liability of the Buyer Indemnitees and their Affiliates in respect of such Seller Third-Party Claim and (y) all parties to such settlement are expressly bound in writing to keep the terms of the settlement confidential. With respect to any Seller Third-Party Claim for which (I) the Seller has not elected to assume and conduct the defense against such Seller Third-Party Claim pursuant to this <u>Section 9.06(a)</u> or (II) the Seller does not have the right to assume and conduct the defense against such Seller Third-Party Claim pursuant to this <u>Section 9.06(a)</u>, the Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim on its own; provided, however, that the Seller (at its sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Seller Third-Party Claim. The Buyer will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of any Seller Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding against a Seller Indemnitee with respect to which a Buyer Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Seller Indemnitee pursuant to this <u>Article IX</u> (each, a "<u>Buyer Third-Party Claim</u>"), Seller will promptly after receipt of notice of any such Buyer Third-Party Claim (and, in any event, in the time period contemplated by <u>Section 9.05(a)</u>), notify the Buyer in writing of the commencement thereof (such notice, a "<u>Buyer Third-Party Claim Notice</u>"); *provided*, *however*, that any failure on the part of the Seller to notify the Buyer shall not limit any of the obligations of the Buyer under this <u>Article IX</u> (except to the extent such failure actually and materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). The Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Buyer Third-Party Claim on its own; *provided*, that (i) as a condition precedent to the Buyer's right to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Buyer Third-Party Claim, the Buyer must (A) notify Seller that the Buyer is electing to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Buyer Third-Party Claim and (B) such notice must include reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Buyer has sufficient resources to defend such Buyer Third-Party Claim and (ii) the Buyer may not assume control of the defense of, or conduct the defense of, any Buyer Third-Party Claim (A) involving any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or seeking to impose any criminal penalty, fine or other sanction, (B) made by any Governmental Authority or to which any Governmental Authority is a named party in which relief other than monetary Losses is sought, (C) in which injunctive relief or specific performance is sought or (D) involving any Proceeding, action, claim, indictment, allegation or investigation relating to Taxes. If the Buyer proceeds with the defense of any such Buyer Third-Party Claim, Seller and its counsel (at Seller's sole expense) may participate in (but

------

not control the conduct of) the defense of such Buyer Third-Party Claim in a manner that would not result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege. If the Buyer so proceeds with the defense of any such Buyer Third-Party Claim, Seller shall make available to the Buyer any documents and materials in Seller's possession or control that may be reasonably necessary to the defense of such Buyer Third-Party Claim. The Buyer will give Seller written notice of the Buyer's intention to settle any such Buyer Third-Party Claim at least ten (10) days prior to the settlement of any such Buyer Third-Party Claim (the "<u>Buyer Third-Party Claim Settlement Notice Period</u>"). The Buyer shall not settle any Buyer Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); *provided*, *however*, that the Buyer shall be permitted to settle a Buyer Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Seller if all of the following are true: (i) the Buyer has given Seller notice in accordance with the foregoing sentence; (ii) the settlement does not impose any restrictions on the operations of the business of Seller or its Affiliates; (iii) the settlement does not contain any admission of liability or wrongdoing by Seller or its Affiliates and (iv) the settlement includes an unqualified release from all liability of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of such Buyer Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any settlement without the express consent of Seller be dispositive of whether such Buyer Third-Party Claim represented an indemnifiable matter hereunder in the first place or determinative of the existence or amount of Losses relating to such matter for which any Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder; *provided*, *further*, for the avoidance of doubt, that in the event that Seller consented to any such settlement, Seller shall have no power or authority to object to such claim and the payment of Losses in respect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments</u>.

****<br> ![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)****<br> *Joby's quiet, all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Credit: Joby Aviation***<br>Joby To Acquire Blade's Passenger Business, Accelerating Air Taxi Commercialization**

● *Up to $125 million acquisition of leading urban air mobility platform delivers dedicated terminal and lounge infrastructure in key urban markets in the U.S. and Europe, including New York City* 

● *Provides Joby with a loyal global flier base and immediate access to key aviation markets around the world*

● *Allows Joby to build on Blade's operational expertise as it prepares to carry its first passengers in Dubai next year*

**Santa Cruz, CA & New York, NY – August 4, 2025 –** Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Blade Air Mobility, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLDE) to purchase Blade's leading urban air mobility passenger business. Blade's Medical division, which was not included in the transaction and will remain a separate public company, is to partner with Joby on medical transportation.

In addition to unlocking immediate market access and infrastructure across key urban corridors in New York City and Southern Europe, the acquisition will allow Joby to combine its best-in-class technology with Blade's decade of experience delivering premium customer transportation at scale, as Joby looks ahead to carrying its first passengers in Dubai next year.

Blade flew more than 50,000 passengers in 2024 from a network of 12 urban terminals situated in some of the most important urban air mobility markets in the world. This includes dedicated

------

lounge and terminal bases at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty Airport, as well as the West Side of Manhattan, the East Side of Manhattan and Wall Street. Blade passenger operations are expected to continue as normal, with the business continuing to be led by Blade founder and CEO Rob Wiesenthal as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joby.

By utilizing Blade's existing infrastructure and gradually transitioning a large loyal base of passengers from conventional helicopters to next-generation Joby aircraft, Joby expects to be able to accelerate its commercialization while reducing infrastructure investment requirements and customer acquisition costs.

"This is a strategically important acquisition that will support the successful launch of Joby's commercial operations in Dubai, our subsequent global rollout and our continued leadership in the sector, " said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation. "Over the last decade, Rob and the team at Blade have built a world-class passenger experience that demonstrates the value of vertical lift. With access to the infrastructure they have secured and the loyal customer base they have developed, we will be in the best possible position to launch our quiet, electric aircraft as soon as certification is secured."

As part of the transaction, Joby will also become the preferred VTOL partner to Blade's organ transport business, which will remain a separate public company to be re-named Strata Critical Medical, wherever Joby has operations, strengthening its position in high-value, mission-critical air medical services and demonstrating future use cases for Joby's aircraft beyond passenger services. The best-in-class ElevateOS software tools, developed by Joby to deliver high-tempo air taxi operations, will be integrated into Blade's operations to help drive cost efficiency and an improved passenger experience.

"Blade was founded with the mission of democratising short-distance air travel by facilitating the transition from conventional rotorcraft to quiet, emissions-free electric aircraft, and I believe there is no better partner than Joby to make that mission a reality," commented Wiesenthal. "It's crystal clear from their progress on certification to the successful demonstration flights in New York and Dubai that this is the best possible home for our fliers, our team and our partners," he added.

The acquisition includes all of Blade's passenger business, including operations in the US and Europe, as well as the Blade brand. Under the terms of the agreement, Joby will pay Blade stock or cash, at Joby's election, up to $125 million, subject to customary indemnity provisions and inclusive of $35 million of holdbacks which will be released subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones and retention of certain key employees. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
