## Exhibit 10.1

**EXHIBIT 10.1**

June 15, 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2021 (as the same has been amended, and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>"), by and among Ziff Davis, Inc. (the "<u>Borrower</u>"), the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to MUFG Union Bank, N.A.), as administrative agent (the "<u>Administrative Agent</u>") and collateral agent (the "<u>Collateral Agent</u>"). Each capitalized term used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that Ziff Davis, LLC, Ziff Davis Ireland Limited and Ookla, LLC (collectively, the "<u>Specified Sellers</u>") expect to sell, transfer and assign (the "<u>Specified Sale</u>") (i) all of the equity interests in the Persons set forth on <u>Schedule I</u> hereto (the "<u>Specified Securities</u>") and (ii) the Specified Irish Assets (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 2, 2026, between Ziff Davis, LLC, the Borrower and Accenture Inc. (the "<u>Purchase Agreement</u>")). The Specified Sale is expected to close on or prior to December 2, 2026 (the date of closing, the "<u>Specified Sale Closing Date</u>"). The Specified Sellers are expected to receive approximately $1,200,000,000 in consideration (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) on the Specified Sale Closing Date in respect of the Specified Sale.

Pursuant to Section 6.4(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are restricted from entering into conveyances, sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of each such Person's property, business or assets with any Person, except for certain dispositions to the Loan Parties or Restricted Subsidiaries permitted thereunder. In addition, pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement the aggregate amount of the consideration for all Asset Dispositions of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries during any fiscal year shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of (x) $30,000,000 and (y) 5.0% of EBITDA (such cap, the "<u>Asset Disposition Cap</u>"). The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent to (a) permitting the Specified Sale and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Sections 6.4(c) and 6.5 of the Credit Agreement and (b) excluding the consideration for the Specified Sale from the Asset Disposition Cap for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

So long as (x) no Default or Event of Default is outstanding on the Specified Sale Closing Date immediately prior to the closing of the Specified Sale and (giving effect to the consents herein) will not occur immediately after giving effect to the Specified Sale and (y) the Specified Sale is consummated materially in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, by its execution and delivery hereof to the Administrative Agent, each of each undersigned Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby consents and agrees that

------

(a) the Specified Sale and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement shall be permitted notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Sections 6.4(c) and 6.5 of the Credit Agreement and (b) the aggregate consideration for the Specified Sale shall not be subject to the Asset Disposition Cap.

Subject to the effectiveness of the consent included in the preceding paragraph, upon the consummation of the Specified Sale on the Specified Sale Closing Date, the Collateral Agent hereby confirms that (a) pursuant to Section 8.10(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, that its Lien upon the Specified Securities and the Collateral owned by any Released Party (as defined below) (but not the proceeds of the Specified Sale) shall be released automatically, with no further action required by the Collateral Agent or any Lender, and (b) each of Ookla, LLC, Root Wireless, Inc. and Ekahau, Inc. (collectively the "<u>Released Parties</u>" and individually, each a "<u>Released Party</u>") is hereby released from any further liabilities or obligations as a Loan Party, a Grantor or a Guarantor, as applicable, under any Loan Document to which it is a party. Following the consummation of the Specified Sale on the Specified Sale Closing Date, the Collateral Agent (a) authorizes the Borrower or its designee to (i) file the UCC-3 termination statements attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> in respect of the corresponding UCC financing statements previously filed against each Released Party by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) file the partial releases attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u> in respect of certain notices of grants of security interests in trademarks and patents made by the Released Parties and certain other parties in favor of the Collateral Agent (with such partial releases solely applying in respect of patents and trademarks owned by the Released Parties), and (b) will use commercially reasonably efforts to promptly deliver to the Borrower or its designee all stock certificates of the Released Parties and in respect of the equity interests in the Released Parties (together with related powers, if any) in the possession of the Collateral Agent, or, if such certificates are not located, shall deliver a certificate of lost securities in respect thereof to the Borrower. The Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower such additional documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of the Specified Securities and the Collateral owned by any Released Party from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents.

Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, and 9.19 are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. This consent constitutes a Loan Document.
