Re: | Envoy Technologies Inc. Loan Agreement |
Dear Mr. Ohana:
This loan agreement is made as of __________, 2025, and sets forth the terms and conditions under which Blink Charging Co., itself or through entities it controls, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Charging, Inc. (“Blink”), agrees to provide up to $_____ revolving loan commitment to Envoy Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Blink (“Envoy”).
1. Loan Commitment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the Non-Negotiable Promissory Note of even date herewith made by Envoy in favor of Blink (the “Note”), Blink agrees to make loans (each, a “Loan”) to Envoy, which amount includes any accrued and unpaid interest on amounts advanced and loaned by Blink hereunder. Envoy has been using and shall continue to use the proceeds of each Loan to finance the costs of its growth and development initiatives including, without limitation, the operations of Envoy since Blink acquired Envoy on April 18, 2023, and the costs in preparation for an initial public offering of Envoy’s common stock (“IPO”). The current outstanding principal amount of the loans subject to this Loan Agreement and that are already advanced to Envoy are in the amount of $___________, and any additional funds advanced to Envoy under this Loan Agreement, are covered by the Note and shall bear interest at a rate reflecting Blink’s cost of borrowing such funds and shall initially be five percent (5%) per annum, subject to adjustment on each semiannual anniversary hereof, as more fully set forth in the Note. Subject to Section 2 below, the maximum loan commitment may be reduced under certain circumstances.
(b) By written request signed by both Envoy’s CEO and CFO made to Blink, accompanied by a reasonable description of the proposed use(s) of such loan proceeds, Envoy may periodically request that Blink make a Loan in the amount specified therein and Blink shall make such Loan, provided that (i) no such request and loan shall exceed $1,000,000 combined during any thirty (30) day period and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred. Subject to Blink’s review and discretionary approval of the written request, Blink shall disburse the amount of the requested Loan by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Envoy, or by check if mutually agreed, within three (3) business days following Envoy’s written request. Each such request for a Loan shall constitute Envoy’s representation and warranty to Blink that no Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Note) exists at such time or is likely to occur after giving effect to such Loan.
(c) Subject to mandatory prepayment(s) as provided in Section 2 below and in the Note or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise provided in the Note, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be paid by Envoy by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Blink or by check if mutually agreed on by the seventh annual anniversary of the date hereof. The Note may, at the option of Envoy, be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
2. Mandatory Payments.
(a) During the Note’s term, Envoy will repay, in whole or in part, the principal balance then outstanding of the Note, together with accrued interest, with the cash proceeds from any Financing obtained after the date hereof. “Financing” refers to the issuance of any note, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, share of capital stock or any other security (“Securities”), as well as working capital financing, or asset-backed financing conducted in the ordinary course of business. Envoy’s obligation to pay the outstanding balance under the Note pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be superior and first in priority to any other use of the proceeds of a Financing, and Envoy agrees not to enter into any agreement or instrument during the Note’s term which would modify or alter the foregoing priority. However, Envoy shall not be required to pay down the loan by an amount greater than 10% of the total proceeds from any such Securities issuance.
(b) If no amounts are outstanding under the Note at the time of a Financing, the maximum loan commitment set forth in Section 1(a) above shall be reduced by the amount of the cash proceeds of any such Financing.
3. Change in Control. A Change in Control (as defined below) during the Note’s term shall be considered an Event of Default, in which case Envoy shall be required, unless waived by Blink in whole or in part, to pay the entire principal balance then outstanding of the Note, together with accrued interest, on or within ten (10) days following the Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred when (a) a third person or entity, including a “group,” as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than Blink or its affiliate, Envoy Mobility Inc., becomes the beneficial owner of shares or other equity interests of Envoy having 25% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors (or managers) of Envoy and such beneficial owner continues for five consecutive days, or (b) as a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were directors (or managers) of Envoy before such transaction shall cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of Envoy’s Board of Directors (or Board of Managers).
4. Representations. Each of the Parties hereto represents severally and as to itself only that this loan agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by it and, assuming the due authorization, execution, and delivery of this loan agreement by the other party hereto, constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability (x) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (y) is subject to general principles of equity (whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
5. Notices. All notices, requests, and demands to or upon Envoy or Blink to be effective shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or when sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows or to such other address as may hereafter be notified by the respective Parties hereto:

(c) The entire principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable, in cash, on the seventh (7) annual anniversary of the date hereof.

4. Blink is authorized to record the date and amount of each loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment, prepayment, or reduction hereunder on the schedule annexed hereto and made a part hereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded.
5. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed that the entire principal amount outstanding at any time under this Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall immediately become due and payable (without demand for payment, notice of non-payment, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest or any other notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Envoy) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) the default in the payment of any interest or principal due under this Note, which default continues uncured for a period of ten (10) days;
