Exhibit 10.1

 

AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of October 5, 2026 is by and between Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tessera” or the “Company”), and Mandragola Ltd., an Israeli company (“Mandragola”).

 

WHEREAS, the parties are parties to the Stock Purchase & Assignment Agreement dated April 13, 2026 (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Company purchased from Mandragola 100% of Mandragola’s shareholdings in Dr. Frucht Systems Ltd. (“DFSL”), representing 60% of the issued and outstanding voting equity capital of DFSL on a fully diluted basis; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Mandragola agreed to provide to Tessera a credit line in an amount and on terms to be mutually agreed upon, to be utilized for the development and expansion of the business of Tessera, including the operation of DFSL;

 

WHEREAS, on May 13, 2026 the parties entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) regarding the terms of borrowings to be made available to Tessera and its subsidiaries with a committed amount of up to $2,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into a new credit agreement for a committed amount of up to $5,000,000, which shall run alongside the Prior Credit Agreement and shall not supersede the Prior Credit Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Line of Credit. Mandragola hereby establishes a line of credit (the “Credit Line”) to be available to Tessera or any operating subsidiary of Tessera, including without limitation, Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Israel Ltd., DFSL and Zorronet Ltd. (each of which shall hereinafter be referred to as “Borrower”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Credit Limit”). Any Borrower shall have the right to borrow, prepay, and reborrow, an amount up to the Credit Limit. In connection herewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Mandragola a convertible promissory note reflecting the draw down on the Credit Line up to a maximum of the Credit Limit and in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”). All sums advanced on the Credit Line or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each an “Advance”) shall accrue interest at the annual rate of 12% and be convertible into shares of common stock of Tessera at the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3. Each Note shall mature on the date set forth in the Note.

 

2. Advances. Any request for an Advance may be made from time to time and in such amounts as Borrower may choose; provided, however, any requested Advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal balance of all previous Advances, exceed the Credit Limit. A request for an Advance shall be made by Borrower in a written notice (the “Request Notice”) to Mandragola at least two (2) business days prior to the date that Borrower desires to receive an Advance. Mandragola shall disburse to Borrower the requested Advance on or before the date specified in Borrower’s Request Notice. Mandragola may refuse to make any requested Advance if an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing hereunder either at the time the Request Notice is given or the date the Advance is to be disbursed, by providing written notice to Borrower of such refusal (which notice shall also specify the Event of Default upon which such refusal is based) no later than the date on which the Advance is to be disbursed to Borrower. On the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), Borrower shall pay, and there shall be due and payable, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with any accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder. Borrower may prepay principal at any time without penalty or premium.

 

 

 

3.  Conversion Right; Conversion Price. Mandragola or any holder of a Note may elect at any time to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares of the common stock of Tessera (the “Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to the Conversion Price (such shares referred to as the “Conversion Stock”), subject to adjustment as herein provided, upon written notice to Tessera of the holder’s election to convert any portion of such unpaid principal balance. Tessera agrees to issue the Conversion Stock upon any such conversion, whether the Borrower under the applicable Note is Tessera or a subsidiary of Tessera.

 

As used herein, “Conversion Price” shall be on a per share basis the lower of (i) the lowest closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market during the five trading days immediately preceding delivery of the notice of conversion and (ii) $1.00. Conversion Stock shall be issued as book entry shares and no physical certificates shall be issued. No fractional shares of Conversion Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of such fractional shares, Tessera shall round to the nearest share with each half share rounded up to the nearest share. “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: OTC Markets, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing). The conversion of any Note is subject to the Exchange Cap set forth in Section 2.2 of the Note and to the authorization by the NYSE American of a supplemental listing application covering the Conversion Stock.

 

4.  Events of Default. An “Event of Default” will occur if any of the following events occurs: (a) failure to pay any principal or interest hereunder within fifteen (15) business days after written notice by Mandragola of Borrower’s failure to make such payment when due; and (b) filing by or against Borrower, as the case may be, of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing.

 

5.  Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mandragola may declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind. Mandragola may suspend or terminate any obligation it may have hereunder to make additional Advances. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Mandragola in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided at law or in equity.
