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

On March 4, 2026, Edible Garden AG Incorporated (the "Company", "we" or "us"), entered into two Interim Order Agreements (the "IOAs") with Tetra Pak Inc. ("Tetra Pak").

*Processing IOA*

One of the IOAs (the "Processing IOA") relates to the initiation of engineering services and preliminary procurement activities in connection with processing equipment for the Company's anticipated production project at its facility in Webster City, Iowa (the "Project"). Under the Processing IOA, Tetra Pak has agreed to perform certain preliminary engineering, design and procurement-related services intended to allow the parties to proceed with the Project while they negotiate a final supply agreement (the "Final Agreement").

The aggregate price for the services under the Processing IOA is payable in two equal installments, with an initial payment due within 30 days of invoice and the second installment due 30 days thereafter. If the parties enter into a Final Agreement, amounts paid under the Processing IOA will be credited against amounts payable under the Final Agreement.

The Processing IOA will terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) execution of a Final Agreement or (ii) approximately eight weeks following execution of the Processing IOA, unless earlier terminated by the Company. If the Processing IOA expires or is terminated without a Final Agreement being executed, Tetra Pak is generally required to cancel any equipment orders placed pursuant to the Processing IOA, subject to the Company's obligation to pay for services performed and certain costs incurred prior to termination.

*Packaging IOA*

The second IOA (the "Packaging IOA") relates to the initiation of engineering services and preliminary procurement activities in connection with packaging for the Project. The Packaging IOA provides for the commencement of detailed design work and the reservation or ordering of certain long-lead equipment items while the parties continue to negotiate a Final Agreement governing the full scope of equipment supply.

The aggregate price for the services under the Packaging IOA is payable within 30 days of invoice and is not refundable. The amount payable under the Packaging IOA represents a portion of the anticipated total equipment price and, if a Final Agreement is executed, will be applied as a credit toward amounts due under such Final Agreement.

The Packaging IOA will terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) execution of a Final Agreement or (ii) May 19, 2026, unless earlier terminated by the Company. If the Packaging IOA is terminated or expires without a Final Agreement being executed, Tetra Pak will have no obligation to deliver equipment, and the Company may be required to pay for services performed and certain costs incurred prior to termination, subject to the terms of the Packaging IOA.

*Additional Terms*

Each IOA provides that no equipment will be delivered unless and until the parties enter into a Final Agreement. The IOAs also contain customary provisions regarding intellectual property, confidentiality, governing law (Texas), and limitations of liability applicable to the interim services provided thereunder.

The foregoing descriptions of the Processing IOA and the Packaging IOA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Processing IOA and the Packaging IOA, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

**1. Preamble**

This agreement together with <u>Schedule 1</u> (collectively, the "**Agreement**") sets forth the agreement between Tetra Pak and Customer regarding the performance of certain preliminary activities as further detailed in this Agreement (the "**Services**") relating to a Customer project anticipated for Customer's plant in Webster City, Iowa (the "**Site**"; such project, the "**Project**").

The Parties intend that this Agreement will be replaced by a Final Agreement (as defined below).

For the avoidance of doubt, no equipment or other materials will be provided to Customer in connection with this Agreement, even if pre-order of equipment is included in the Services. Rather, any equipment or materials will be provided to Customer only if the Parties have agreed to and executed a Final Agreement (as defined below).

If the Parties for whatever reason do not enter into the Final Agreement, Tetra Pak shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the Services rendered (including, but not limited to warranty or any damages liability). To the extent Customer chooses to use the Services for any purposes, it shall do so on its own risk.

Customer responsibilities include responding (free of charge) to any reasonable requests from Tetra Pak during the term of the Agreement, including but not limited to requests for information, personnel, equipment and access to facilities.

**4. Price and Payment**

The price for the Services (the "**Price**") is **$[\*\*\*]** and is due per the price/payment chart below, regarding dates of the invoice that Tetra Pak will issue upon execution of this Agreement.

If the Parties enter into a Final Agreement (defined below), then Tetra Pak will apply the Price paid under this Agreement towards the amount that would otherwise be due as payment to Tetra Pak under the Final Agreement.

**5. Final Agreement**

**6. Intellectual Property Rights**

Both Parties own patents, designs, trademarks, copyrights, rights in databases and other intellectual property rights ("**Intellectual Property Rights**") which will also include know-how, methodology, programs, systems, unpatented inventions or technical concepts ("**Know- How**").

Based upon pre-existing Tetra Pak Intellectual Property Rights or Know-how, Tetra Pak will have sole ownership of all right, title and interest in and to any and all derivative Intellectual Property Rights and Know-How generated or developed by Tetra Pak or in collaboration with the Customer during the course of this Agreement.

**7. Confidentiality**

The Confidentiality Agreement/Non Disclosure Agreement signed between the Parties on 9/24/2025 shall apply also with respect to activities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (with an obligation to ensure that the same duties of confidentiality apply) (i) to any company in the same group of companies as the Receiving Party; (ii) to its professional advisers; (iii) to any sub-contractors engaged in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; and/or (iv) if it has been ordered to disclose Confidential Information by a court or authority of competent jurisdiction provided that it shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party of such disclosure to the extent not prohibited by law, use reasonable efforts to limit the extent of the disclosure, and will inform the court or authority of the rights of the Disclosing Party in the Confidential Information. This clause shall remain in force throughout the term of this Agreement and for a period of 5 years thereafter.

**8. No warranty and full disclaimer of liabilities**

It is noted that Tetra Pak's providing of the Services under this Agreement is made in view of the intention that the Parties will enter into a Final Agreement.

Warranties and limitation of liabilities will be detailed in the Final Agreement.

![](elbl_ex101img5.jpg)

Customer may at any time terminate any part of the Services for convenience by written notice.

If the Agreement expires or is terminated without a Final Agreement being signed, Tetra Pak shall cancel any equipment ordered.

Upon receipt of Customer's notice, Tetra Pak will cease and cause any subcontractors to cease all work terminated. Customer is responsible to pay any invoices for outstanding work issued by Tetra Pak as a result of the termination and to compensate Tetra Pak for any costs or losses incurred due to Customer's termination (including adequate compensation for Tetra Pak's loss of revenue). Any remaining part of the Price shall be refunded to the Customer.

In the event of Customer's termination hereunder, Tetra Pak shall have no responsibility to deliver any results of the Services to the Customer. Any deviations from this shall be agreed in writing between the Parties.

**10. Miscellaneous**

The Agreement may only be amended in writing duly signed by both Parties, evidencing a clear intention to amend the terms. If such amendment includes that Services will continued to be performed by Tetra Pak beyond the date detailed in Section 9 (Term and Termination) above, this will entail additional fees (with respect to e.g. equipment order cancellations) paid by the Customer.

Except with respect to Tetra Pak engaging of sub-contractors, neither Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under the Agreement to any third party, without the prior written notice to or consent of the other Party (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

Customer may at any time terminate any part of the Services for convenience by written notice.

If the Agreement expires or is terminated without a Final Agreement being signed, Tetra Pak shall cancel any equipment ordered.

Upon receipt of Customer's notice, Tetra Pak will cease and cause any subcontractors to cease all work terminated. Customer is responsible to pay any invoices for outstanding work issued by Tetra Pak as a result of the termination and to compensate Tetra Pak for any costs or losses incurred due to Customer's termination (including adequate compensation for Tetra Pak's loss of revenue). Any remaining part of the Price shall be refunded to the Customer.

In the event of Customer's termination hereunder, Tetra Pak shall have no responsibility to deliver any results of the Services to the Customer. Any deviations from this shall be agreed in writing between the Parties.

**10. Miscellaneous**

The Agreement may only be amended in writing duly signed by both Parties, evidencing a clear intention to amend the terms. If such amendment includes that Services will continued to be performed by Tetra Pak beyond the date detailed in Section 9 (Term and Termination) above, this will entail additional fees (with respect to e.g. equipment order cancellations) paid by the Customer.

Except with respect to Tetra Pak engaging of sub-contractors, neither Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under the Agreement to any third party, without the prior written notice to or consent of the other Party (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
