FURTHER FINANCING

Any future funding requirements of FlyBlade shall be met in the following order of preference:

8.1

Following the Completion Date, and in any event no earlier than (a) July 1, 2019 or (b) any date on which FlyBlade is capitalized with an amount of cash on the balance sheet greater than US dollars [***], whichever is later, FlyBlade shall perform a capital call for issuing further Equity Shares from each of Blade and Hunch for an aggregate contribution amount of at least US dollars [***] (the “Initial Capital Call”). Within ten (10) days from the date that FlyBlade provides written notice to both Hunch and Blade of its intent to perform the Initial Capital Call, and prior to any right of contribution of Hunch (the “Blade Option Period”), Blade shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase Equity Shares up to an amount such that Blade’s Percentage Interest is equal to [***] on a pro forma basis (the “Blade Option”). The price for the purchase of each Equity Share purchased by Blade pursuant to the Blade Option shall be equal to the purchase price that Blade would have paid for the Blade Subscription Shares on the Completion Date on a per share basis plus a [***] premium. Blade shall provide written notice to Hunch and FlyBlade within the Blade Option Period, which shall be binding (“Blade Option Notice”), that it desires to purchase any Equity Shares pursuant to the Blade Option. In the event that Blade fails to provide the Blade Option Notice to Hunch and FlyBlade within the Blade Option Period or notifies Hunch and FlyBlade of its decision not to purchase any Equity Shares pursuant to the Blade Option within the Blade Option Period, the right of Blade to purchase Equity Securities pursuant to the Blade Option shall be deemed to be waived by Blade. For the avoidance of doubt, Blade shall only be required to pay a [***] premium pursuant to this Clause 8.1 for Equity Shares purchased pursuant to the Blade Option during the Blade Option Period. Following the Blade Option Period, both of Hunch and Blade shall purchase the remaining number of Equity Shares to be issued pursuant to the Initial Capital Call, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their Percentage Interest, provided that, if Blade purchases any Equity Shares pursuant to the Blade Option, such Percentage Interests shall be calculated for the purposes of this sentence only to reflect the Percentage Interests of Blade and Hunch as if the Equity Shares purchased by Blade pursuant to the Blade Option had been issued by FlyBlade to Blade prior to the initiation of the Initial Capital Call. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Initial Capital Call has been completed, this Clause 8.1 shall no longer be of any force or effect.

8.2

After the Initial Capital Call has been completed, FlyBlade may endeavour to procure equity financing pursuant to an offer to issue Equity Shares to third party investors (“Third Party Offering”). If FlyBlade performs any Third Party Offering, Blade shall have the right, but not the obligation to participate in the purchase of such Equity Shares to be issued by FlyBlade, and Blade shall be entitled, if it so elects to participate, to a discount of [***] of the price to be paid for such Equity Shares by any Person that is not Blade in such Third Party Offering (the “Third Party Offering Discount”). The price to be paid for such Equity Shares in a Third Party Offering shall be based upon a fair market valuation of FlyBlade, to be determined by an independent financial advisory firm appointed by FlyBlade.

8.3

It is hereby clarified that FlyBlade will ensure that the price for any financing by Blade for issue of Equity Shares of FlyBlade, of the nature contemplated in Clauses 8.1 and 8.2, meets fair market value requirements under Applicable Law and is so supported by a valuation certificate obtained per prescriptions under Applicable Law.

8.4

If FlyBlade elects not to make a Third Party Offering under Clause 8.2, FlyBlade shall meet its further funding requirements from internal accruals.

8.5

If FlyBlade’s internal accruals are not sufficient to meet the further funding requirements, Board shall endeavour to procure debt financing from banks, lending institutions, or other unrelated third parties, and may provide appropriate securities for such loans; provided that, FlyBlade shall work towards a long-term target debt:equity ratio not in excess of 1:1.If FlyBlade so requires, in order to procure sufficient financing from banks or other financial institutions, each Shareholder may, subject always to Applicable Laws and the receipt of all necessary Government Approvals (as may be required), in proportion to its Percentage Ownership in FlyBlade, furnish a guarantee in relation to any loans to be procured by FlyBlade from the aforesaid banks or other financial institutions; provided that, if a Shareholder does not, or is unable to, furnish a guarantee requested for by FlyBlade, the other Shareholder shall not be under any obligation to furnish the guarantee requested for by FlyBlade.

8.6

If external debt financing is not available, subject to Applicable Law, FlyBlade may borrow monies from any Shareholder; provided that, loans made by a Shareholder to FlyBlade (“Shareholder Loan”) shall be evidenced by an agreement containing such terms and bearing interest at a rate per annum to be determined by the lending Shareholder(s) and the Board that are no less favourable to FlyBlade than if the loan had been made by an independent third party. Unless a Shareholder declines to make Shareholder Loan, Shareholder Loan shall be made in accordance with the respective Percentage Ownership of the Shareholders. No Shareholder shall be under any obligation to make Shareholder Loan.

8.7

If Shareholder Loan is not available, then:

8.7.1

The Board shall perform a capital call for issuing further Equity Shares (“Capital Call”) from each of Blade and Hunch in proportion to the Percentage Ownership of the Shareholders at the time of such Capital Call. In the event, FlyBlade’s authorized share capital is inadequate in order to implement a Capital Call, the Shareholders shall within fifteen (15) Business Days following any such determination, in a General Meeting, resolve to increase FlyBlade’s authorized share capital so as to enable issue of Equity Shares pursuant to such Capital Call. The Parties agree that the number of Equity Shares to be issued for the consideration provided by each Party pursuant to a Capital Call under this Clause 8.7.1 shall be based upon a fair market valuation of FlyBlade, to be determined by an independent financial advisory firm mutually appointed by Blade and Hunch.

8.7.2

If the Board makes a Capital Call, and either Shareholder is unable or does not subscribe to further Shares (or any part thereof) under such Capital Call (“Non- Contributing Party”), then the other Shareholder (“Contributing Party”) shall have a right (but not an obligation) either directly, or through its Affiliate to subscribe to the unsubscribed portion of the Capital Call and, the Non-Contributing Party shall have a period of one (1) year from the date on which it expresses its inability to or otherwise does not subscribe to further Shares under such Capital Call, to contribute (“Catch-up Right”) its share of such Capital Call free and clear of taxes in the manner provided in Clause 8.7.3 below.

The Non-Contributing Party shall be entitled to, by a notice in writing to FlyBlade and the Contributing Party, require the Contributing Party to Transfer (by way of sale, and free from all Encumbrances, except Encumbrances created in terms of this Agreement) the unsubscribed portion of the additional Shares (which term, for the purposes of this Clause 8.7, shall include Shares issued to the Contributing Party by virtue of their holding the unsubscribed portion of the Capital Call Shares by way of bonus, re- organisation of capital, rights issues, or otherwise) subscribed by, or issued to, the Contributing Party, subject to the Applicable Law, at the same price that the Contributing Party paid for its subscription of Shares under Capital Call along with an interest based on the then current LIBOR, commencing from the date of subscription of Shares by the Contributing Party, till such date at which the Non-Contributing Party completes the acquisition of the additional Shares from the Contributing Party. The Non-Contributing Party shall be responsible to obtain all necessary Governmental Approvals (as may be required) to complete the Transfer (as aforesaid) of the aforesaid Shares within the aforementioned period of one (1) year from the date on which it expresses its inability to or otherwise does not subscribe to further Shares under the Capital Call, failing which the Catch-up Right for the relevant Shareholder shall lapse.

8.7.4

Subject to Applicable Law, election by a Shareholder to purchase all of another Shareholder’s Percentage Ownership pursuant to Transfer of Shares hereof shall also constitute an election to purchase any outstanding Shareholder Loan held by the selling Shareholder, and such purchasing Shareholder shall be obligated to (i) at its own cost and expense (including cost of stamp duty on the acquisition / assignment documentation) procure assignment / purchase of all outstanding Shareholder Loans owed by FlyBlade to the selling Shareholder at a price equal to the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on such Shareholder Loan on the date of the closing of such purchase; or (ii) enable FlyBlade to repay all such outstanding Shareholder Loan (along with accrued and unpaid interest, if any) by infusing monies into FlyBlade; provided that, for the foregoing infusion of monies, the Shareholders shall cooperate with each other and arrive at an appropriate structure such that the rights of none of the Shareholders are prejudiced.

At any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of the Offeree Election Notice (“ROFO Period”), the Offeror may notify the Offeree in writing (“ROFO Acceptance Notice”) that it accepts the offer of the Offeree contained in the Offeree Election Notice to buy the ROFO Shares at the Offeree Election Price.

14.4.4

Such sale and Transfer shall be completed within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the ROFO Acceptance Notice. FlyBlade shall take all steps to ensure the Transfer of ROFO Shares from the Offeror to the Offeree pursuant to the ROFO Acceptance Notice. In the event that the ROFO Period has expired and the Offeror has not accepted or the Offeror has declined to sell the ROFO Shares to the Offeree within the ROFO Period or the Offeror fails to sell the ROFO Shares within the ROFO Period, then the Offeror shall be free to Transfer the ROFO Shares to a Transferee only at a price higher than the Offeree Election Price.

14.4.5

Closing. At the closing of any purchase of ROFO Shares by the Offeree, both of the following conditions shall be complied:

The Offeror shall deliver duly stamped and executed share transfer forms and such other documents as may be required or prescribed under Law, with respect to ROFO Shares to the Offeree. Such ROFO Shares shall be free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than pursuant to this Agreement, if any), and the Offeror shall represent and warrant to the Offeree that it is the sole beneficial and legal owner of the ROFO Shares and that such ROFO Shares are free from Encumbrances. The Offeror shall not be required to make any other representations or warranties. Any Offeree purchasing the ROFO Shares shall, simultaneously, deliver at such closing, payment in full of the consideration in accordance with the price set forth in the Offeree Election Notice and any requisite transfer taxes. At such closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the ROFO Shares to the Offeree; and

If any Party defaults to comply with their respective obligations under this Clause 14.4, in case the defaulting Party is the Offeree, then, without prejudice to its other rights, the Offeror shall be entitled to freely Transfer the ROFO Shares to a Transferee (which terms, for the purposes of this Clause 14.4.5 shall include a Competitor); for clarity, conditional upon such Transferee executing the Deed of Adherence.

14.4.6

Time Period. If the sale of the ROFO Shares to a Transferee is not completed within the Third Party Transfer Period then the provisions of this Clause 14 shall apply de novo to any sale of Shares by an Offeror.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, if this Clause 14.4.9 is triggered prior to the day that is two (2) years from the Closing Date, such purchase price to be paid in consideration for the Equity Shares of Hunch shall in any case be not less than the Hunch Contribution plus ten percent (10%) (compounded annually).
