 Exhibit 10.23 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of
the 1st day of January, 2021, by and between Brian Michael Brown (the “Employee”) and AvePoint, Inc. (the “Company”). 

Employee is employed by AvePoint, Inc. as its Corporate COO and General Counsel pursuant to an Employment Agreement with AvePoint, Inc. dated
March 1, 2008 (the “Prior Agreement”). 
 The Company desires to continue to employ Employee and, in connection
therewith, to compensate Employee for Employee’s personal services to the Company; and 
 Employee wishes to continue to be employed by
the Company and provide personal services and certain covenants to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits. 

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree to the following: 

1. Employment by the Company. 

1.1 Impact of Transaction. This Agreement shall be assumed by Apex Technology Acquisition Corp. on the Effective Time as
defined in that certain Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 23, 2020, by and among the Company, AvePoint, Inc., Athena Technology Merger Sub, Inc., and Athena Technology Merger Sub 2, LLC (the
“Business Combination Agreement”). If the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement do not close, this Agreement shall not be assumed by Apex Technology Acquisition Corp. but shall continue to be in
full force as an obligation of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. 

1.2 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and end on the third anniversary of the
Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless Employee’s employment is sooner terminated in accordance with Section 6 below. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew and Employee’s employment shall
continue for successive one-year terms (each, a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either party gives the other written notice
of its/his intent not to renew this Agreement at least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6 below. If the Company elects not to renew
the Agreement without Cause (as defined below), Employee will be eligible for the Severance Benefits set forth in Section 6.1 below, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.1. The parties expressly agree that designation of a term
and renewal provisions in this Agreement does not in any way limit the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement as hereinafter provided. Furthermore, if Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1 at any time during
the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, Employee will be eligible for the Severance Benefits described in Section 6.1 subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. 

  
 1 

 1.3 Position. Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Company agrees
to continue to employ Employee and Employee hereby accepts such continued employment. In addition, Employee shall continue to serve as Corporate COO and General Counsel. 

1.4 Duties. Employee will report to the Company’s Executive Chairman (the “Executive
Chairman”), performing such duties as are normally associated with Employee’s position, including the management and oversight of all legal, compliance and contract functions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such duties as
are assigned to Employee from time to time, subject to the oversight and direction of, and reporting to the Executive Chairman. Employee shall perform Employee’s duties under this Agreement principally out of the Company’s office in
Richmond, Virginia, or such other location as assigned by the Company, subject to Section 6.1(g) (Good Reason section) below. In addition, Employee shall make such business trips to such places as may be necessary or advisable for the efficient
operations of the Company. 
 1.5 Company Policies and Benefits. The employment relationship between the parties shall
also be subject to the Company’s personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company’s reasonable discretion. Employee will be eligible to participate on the same basis
as similarly situated employees in the Company’s benefit plans in effect from time to time during Employee’s employment. All matters of eligibility for coverage or benefits under any benefit plan shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the such plan. The Company reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate employee benefits in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the
Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control. 
 2.
COMPENSATION. 
 2.1 Salary. Employee shall receive for Employee’s
services to be rendered under this Agreement an initial base salary of $350,000 on an annualized basis, subject to review and upward adjustment by the Company in its sole but reasonable discretion, and payable subject to standard federal and state
payroll withholding requirements in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices (“Base Salary”). 

2.2 Annual Discretionary Bonus. Employee will be eligible for a discretionary uncapped annual cash bonus (the
“Annual Bonus”), with a target amount of one-hundred percent (100%) of Employee’s then current Base Salary (the “Target Amount”), subject to review and
adjustment from time to time by the Company in its sole but reasonable discretion, payable subject to standard payroll withholding requirements. Whether or not Employee earns any bonus will be dependent upon (a) the actual achievement by
Employee and the Company of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its sole but reasonable discretion, and (b) Employee’s continuous performance of services to the Company through
December 31 of the applicable bonus year. The annual period over which performance is measured for purposes of this bonus is January 1 through December 31. The Board will determine in its sole discretion the extent to which the Company has
achieved the performance goals upon which the bonus is based and the amount of the bonus, if any. To the extent earned, the Annual Bonus will be paid no later than March 15th of the year following
the performance period. In the event it is administratively impracticable to make the Annual Bonus payment by March 15th, payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable
thereafter. 

  
 2 

 2.3 Equity Awards. Employee will be eligible to receive awards
of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, as applicable, will determine in its reasonable discretion whether
Employee will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time. If (i) Employee remains in Continuous Service (as
defined in the Company’s then current equity incentive plan (the “Plan”)) through the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), or (ii) Employee is terminated without Cause (as defined below) or
resigns for Good Reason (as defined below) during the three-month period immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control, then, the vesting and exercisability of Employee’s equity awards shall accelerate in full, provided Employee
executes the Release (as defined below) and allows it to become effective. 
 2.4 Expense Reimbursement. The Company
will reimburse Employee for reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Company’s standard expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified by the Board from time to time. The Company shall reimburse Employee for all customary
and appropriate business-related expenses actually incurred and documented in accordance with Company policy, as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any reimbursements payable to Employee are subject to the
provisions of Section 409A (as defined below): (a) any such reimbursements will be paid no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, (b) the amount of expenses reimbursed in one
year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and (c) the right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INVENTIONS, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS.
In connection with Employee’s continued employment with the Company, Employee will continue to receive and continue to have access to the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly, and in consideration of the
benefits Employee is eligible to receive under this Agreement, Employee agrees to execute and abide by the Employee Confidential Information, Inventions, Non-Solicitation and
Non-Competition Agreement attached as Exhibit A (“Confidential Information Agreement”), which may be amended by the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement.
The Confidential Information Agreement contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination of this Agreement and will supersede, prospectively only, the continuing obligations set forth in Sections
11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Prior Agreement. 
 4. OUTSIDE
ACTIVITIES. Employee will be permitted to undertake and engage in the other activities, provided that such activities do not interfere with Employee’s responsibilities and the performance of
duties hereunder. 
 5. NO CONFLICT WITH EXISTING
OBLIGATIONS. Employee represents that Employee’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and continued service as an Employee of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement or
obligation of any kind made prior to Employee’s employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations Employee may have with prior employers or entities for which Employee has provided services. Employee has not entered into, and
Employee agrees that Employee will not enter into, any agreement or obligation, either written or oral, in conflict herewith. 

  
 3 

 6. TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT. The parties acknowledge that Employee’s employment relationship with the Company continues to be at-will. Either Employee or
the Company may terminate the employment relationship for any reason whatsoever at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. The provisions in this Section govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to Employee upon
termination of employment and do not alter this at-will status. 
 6.1 Termination by
the Company without Cause or Resignation by Employee for Good Reason. 
 (a) The Company shall have the right to terminate
Employee’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Section 6.1 at any time without “Cause” (as defined below) by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 of this Agreement. A termination pursuant to Sections 6.4 or 6.5
below is not a termination without Cause for purposes of receiving the benefits described in this Section 6.1. 
 (b) If the Company
terminates Employee’s employment at any time (whether during the Initial Term or thereafter) without Cause or elects not to renew Employee’s Term without Cause (excluding in all cases by reason of Employee’s death or Disability) or
Employee resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined below) and provided that such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), then Employee shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations (as
defined below) and, subject to Employee’s compliance with the conditions and obligations in Section 6.1(c) below, Employee shall be eligible to receive the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

 (i) The Company will pay Employee an amount equal to Employee’s then current Base Salary and Annual Bonus (based on the average of
the Annual Bonus earned by Employee in the two years prior to Employee’s termination) for eighteen (18) months, less all applicable withholdings and deductions, and paid in equal installments beginning on the Company’s first regularly
scheduled payroll date following the Release Effective Date (as defined below), with the remaining installments occurring on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates thereafter. 

(ii) If Employee timely elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
(“COBRA”), for Employee and Employee’s dependents under the Company’s group health plans following such termination, then the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Employee’s and his
covered dependents’ health insurance coverage in effect for Employee (and Employee’s covered dependents) on the termination date until the earliest of: (i) eighteen (18) months following the termination date; (ii) the date when
Employee becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment; or (iii) the date Employee ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason, including
plan termination (such period from the termination date through the earlier of (i)-(iii), (the “COBRA Payment Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of COBRA premiums
on Employee’s behalf would result in a violation of applicable law (including, but not limited to, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by 

  
 4 

 
the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums pursuant to this Section, the Company shall pay Employee on the last day of each remaining month of
the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding, for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period. Nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Employee of his rights
under COBRA or ERISA for benefits under plans and policies arising under his employment by the Company. 
 (iii) Each unvested equity award
(excluding any equity award subject to the achievement of any performance-based or other similar vesting criteria) then held by Employee will immediately accelerate vesting and, to the extent applicable, exercisability, as to the number of shares
that would have become vested had Employee remained employed by the Company through the date that is eighteen (18) months following the termination date. 

(c) Employee will be paid all of the Accrued Obligations on the Company’s first payroll date after Employee’s date of termination
from employment or earlier if required by law. If eligible to receive the Severance Benefits pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement, Employee will only receive such Severance Benefits if: (i) within the time period provided in the
separation agreement (which shall be no longer than 60 days following the date of Employee’s Separation from Service), Employee has signed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement that includes, among other terms, an effective
general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and representatives, in the form presented by the Company (the “Release”), which cannot be revoked in whole or part by such date (the date that the Release
can no longer be revoked is referred to as the “Release Effective Date”); and (ii) if Employee holds any other positions with the Company, he resigns such position(s) to be effective no later than the date of
Employee’s termination date (or such other date as requested by the Board); (iii) Employee returns all Company property; (iv) Employee complies with his post-termination obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information
Agreement; and (v) Employee complies with the terms of the Release, including, without limitation, any non-disparagement, confidentiality and cooperation provisions contained in Release. 

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” are (i) Employee’s accrued but unpaid salary
through the date of termination, (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Employee payable in accordance with the Company’s standard expense reimbursement policies, and (iii) benefits owed to Employee under any qualified
retirement plan or health and welfare benefit plan in which Employee was a participant in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan. 

(e) The Severance Benefits provided to Employee pursuant to this Section 6.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to
which Employee may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy or program. 
 (f) Any damages caused by the termination
of Employee’s employment without Cause would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the Severance Benefits for which Employee is eligible pursuant to Section 6.1(b) above in exchange for the Release is agreed to by the parties as liquidated
damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty. 

  
 5 

 (g) “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following conditions without Employee’s consent, after Employee’s provision of written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition (which notice must be provided as described in Section 7.1 within
ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition and must specify the particular condition in reasonable detail), provided that the Company has not first provided notice to Employee of its intent to terminate Employee’s
employment: (i) a diminution in Employee’s duties, title, responsibilities or authorities; (ii) a material (greater than 10%) reduction by the Company of Employee’s Base Salary; or (iii) the relocation of Employee’s
principal place of employment by twenty-five (25) or more miles from Employee’s then-current principal place of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only exist if Employee’s termination of employment
constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and the Company is provided a thirty (30) day period to cure the event or condition giving
rise to Good Reason, and it fails to do so within that cure period (and, additionally, Employee must resign for such Good Reason condition by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 within thirty (30) days after the period for curing the
violation or condition has ended). To the extent Employee’s principal place of employment is not the Company’s corporate offices due to a shelter-in-place order, quarantine order, or similar work-from-home requirement that applies to
Employee, Employee’s principal place of employment, from which a change in location under the foregoing clause (iii) will be measured, will be considered the Company’s office location where Employee’s employment with the Company
primarily was based immediately prior to the commencement of such shelter-in-place order, quarantine order, or similar work-from-home requirement. 

6.2 Termination by the Company for Cause. 

(a) The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company at any time (whether during the Initial Term or
thereafter) for Cause by giving notice as described in Section 7.1 of this Agreement. 
 (b) “Cause” for
purposes of this Agreement shall mean that the Company has determined in its sole discretion that Employee has engaged in any of the following: (i) any act constituting fraud or disreputable conduct that causes harm to the Company;
(ii) any conduct which constitutes a felony under applicable law; or (iii) breach of fiduciary duty. 
 (c) In the event
Employee’s employment is terminated at any time for Cause, Employee will not receive Severance Benefits, or any other compensation or benefits, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to
Employee the Accrued Obligations. 
 6.3 Resignation by Employee (other than for Good Reason). 

(a) Employee may resign from Employee’s employment with the Company at any time (whether during the Initial Term or thereafter) by
giving notice as described in Section 7.1. 
 (b) In the event Employee resigns from Employee’s employment with the Company
(other than for Good Reason), Employee will not receive Severance Benefits, or any other compensation or benefits, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Employee the Accrued Obligations.

  
 6 

 6.4 Termination by Virtue of Death or Disability of Employee. 

(a) In the event of Employee’s death while employed pursuant to this Agreement (whether during the Initial Term or thereafter), all
obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate immediately, and Employee will not receive the Severance Benefits, or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the
Company shall provide to Employee’s legal representatives all Accrued Obligations. 
 (b) Subject to applicable state and federal law,
the Company shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to Employee, to terminate this Agreement based on Employee’s Disability. Termination by the Company of Employee’s employment based on “Disability”
shall mean termination because Employee is unable due to a physical or mental condition to perform the essential functions of Employee’s position with or without reasonable accommodation for six (6) months in the aggregate during any
twelve (12) month period or based on the written certification by two licensed physicians of the likely continuation of such condition for such period. This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other applicable law. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated based on Employee’s Disability, Employee will not receive the Severance Benefits, or any other severance
compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Employee the Accrued Obligations. 

6.5 Termination Due to Discontinuance of Business. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event the Company’s business is discontinued (whether during the Initial Term or thereafter) because rendered impracticable by substantial financial losses, lack of funding, legal decisions, administrative rulings, declaration of war,
dissolution, national or local economic depression or crisis or any reasons beyond the control of the Company (a “Discontinuance of Business”), then this Agreement shall terminate as of the day the Company determines to cease
operation with the same force and effect as if such day of the month were originally set as the termination date hereof; provided, however, that any discontinuance or interruption of the Company’s business as a direct result of a Change
in Control of the Company shall not constitute a Discontinuance of Business under this Section 6.5. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.5, Employee will not receive the Severance Benefits, or any other
compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall provide to Employee the Accrued Obligations. 

6.6 Application of Section 409A. It is intended that all of the severance payments
payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other
guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. If not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies
with Section 409A, and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. No severance payments will be made under this Agreement unless Employee’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from
service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Employee’s right to receive any installment 

  
 7 

 
payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder
shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any severance payments are deferred compensation under Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt
from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Employee may consider and sign the Release spans two calendar years, such severance payments will not begin until the second calendar year. If the Company determines that
the severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and if Employee is a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code at the time of Employee’s Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance will be delayed as
follows: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six months and one day after Employee’s Separation from Service, and (b) the date of Employee’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment
Date”), the Company will (i) pay to Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance benefits that Employee would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of
the severance benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 6.6 and (ii) commence paying the balance of the severance benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in Section 6.1. No interest shall be
due on any amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 6.6. 
 6.7 Notice; Effective Date of Termination. 

 (a) Termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the earliest of: 

(i) immediately after the Company gives notice to Employee of Employee’s termination, with or without Cause; 

(ii) immediately upon Employee’s death; 

(iii) ten (10) days after the Company gives notice to Employee of Employee’s termination on account of Employee’s Disability;

 (iv) ten (10) days after Employee gives written notice to the Company of Employee’s resignation, provided that the
Company may set a termination date at any time between the date of notice and the date of resignation, in which case Employee’s resignation shall be effective as of such other date. Employee will receive compensation through any required notice
period (even if the Company accepts Employee’s resignation prior to the end of such notice period); or 
 (v) for a termination for
Good Reason, immediately upon Employee’s full satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.1(g). 
 (b) In the event notice of a
termination under subsections (a)(i) and (iii) is given orally, at the other party’s request, the party giving notice must provide written confirmation of such notice within five (5) business days of the request in compliance with the
requirement of Section 7.1 below. In the event of a termination for Cause, written confirmation shall specify the subsection(s) of the definition of Cause relied on to support the decision to terminate. 

  
 8 

 6.8 Cooperation With Company After Termination of Employment. Following
termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of Employee’s pending work including, but not limited to, any litigation in which the Company is
involved, and the orderly transfer of any such pending work to such other employees as may be designated by the Company. The Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses Employee incurs in connection with any such cooperation (excluding forgone wages, salary, or other compensation) and will make reasonable efforts
to accommodate Employee’s scheduling needs. 
 7. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

7.1 Notices. Any notices required hereunder to be in writing shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal
delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic mail or confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications
shall be sent to the Company at its primary office location and to Employee at Employee’s address as listed on the Company payroll or to Employee’s Company-issued email address or Employee’s email address as listed in Company records,
or at such other address as the Company or Employee may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other. 
 7.2
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and
enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein. 
 7.3
Survival. Provisions of this Agreement which by their terms must survive the termination of this Agreement in order to effectuate the intent of the parties will survive any such termination, whether by expiration of the term,
termination of Employee’s employment, or otherwise, for such period as may be appropriate under the circumstances. 
 7.4
Waiver. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 

7.5 Complete Agreement. This Agreement (including Exhibit A) constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and the
Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter and supersedes any prior oral discussions or written communications and
agreements, including the Prior Agreement. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by Employee and an
authorized officer of the Company. The parties have entered into a separate Confidential Information Agreement and have or may enter into separate agreements related to equity. These separate agreements govern other aspects of the

  
 9 

 
relationship between the parties, have or may have provisions that survive termination of Employee’s employment under this Agreement, may be amended or superseded by the parties without
regard to this Agreement and are enforceable according to their terms without regard to the enforcement provision of this Agreement. 

7.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures
of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 7.7 Headings.
The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof. 

7.8 Successors and Assigns. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole,
but not in part, to any Company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said Company or other entity shall by
operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the Company’s assignment of this Agreement to any affiliate of the Company, and such transfer of employment, shall not in and of itself constitute a termination of Employee’s employment without Cause or for Good
Reason. The Employee may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to the Employee’s estate upon Employee’s death. 

7.9 Choice of Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be
governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 
 IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Employment Agreement on the day and year first written above.

(1) Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by email no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, two
(2) Business Days prior to the date that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Payment/Advance Form”). Bank is
authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any email notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank
harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1(b) to an account, and pursuant to wire instructions, designated in writing by Borrower to Bank.

 (2) Borrower may select a separate LIBOR Interest Period for up to five (5) different LIBOR Rate Advances (each of which LIBOR Rate
Advances must be in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or, if greater, in an integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00)), provided that such selection is otherwise made in strict compliance with the terms
of this Agreement. If Borrower fails to deliver a timely notice with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the end of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Advance is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such LIBOR Interest Period such Advance shall be continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance with a LIBOR Interest Period of one (1) month. 

(c) Increase in Revolving Line. At any time after August 31, 2020, Borrower may, one time during the term of this Agreement,
request an increase in the Revolving Line upon written notice to Bank, as long as (i) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or, if greater, in an integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000.00) and is offered on the same terms as the existing Revolving Line, except for a closing fee mutually agreed between Bank and Borrower, it being understood that such closing fee shall not be in excess of an amount equal to 1% of the
aggregate amount of such increase in the Revolving Line, and (ii) total increases under this Section do not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00). Provided the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied and Bank agrees to
such increase request, the Revolving Line shall be increased by the requested amount on a date agreed upon by Bank and Borrower. Bank and Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Bank deems appropriate to evidence the
increase in the Revolving Line, it being understood that such documents and agreements shall be no more restrictive to Borrower than the terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. 

  
 2 

 2.2 Prepayments. 

(a) Mandatory Prepayments. If the Total Outstandings exceed the Revolving Line at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in
cash, the amount of such excess. 
 (b) Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, upon notice to Bank, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form acceptable to Bank and be received by Bank not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment; and (ii) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the LIBOR Interest Period of such Advances. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein. Any prepayment of an Advance shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6(a). 

2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a) Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance
thereof, at a rate equal to the LIBOR-Based Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) (each such Advance, a “LIBOR Rate Advance”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in the event any Advances accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate as a result of any of the events described in Section 2.6 or otherwise, such Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof,
at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two and one-half percent (2.50%). 
 (b) Default Rate.
All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two and one-half (2.5) percentage points above the interest rate
applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses)
but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations inclusive of the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is
not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank. 

(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date. Bank shall, at its option, charge such
interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable for the Advances. Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable for the Advances. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings,
duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment. 

  
 3 

 (d) Computation. With respect to Obligations bearing interest at the Prime Rate, in
the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All
interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the Prime Rate shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

2.4 Crediting Payments. While no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or
other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and
until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon New York time shall be deemed to have been
received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such
payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. Bank may, with the prior written consent of Borrower, debit any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. 
 2.5 Fees.
Borrower shall pay to Bank the following: 
 (a) Facility Fee. A fee equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00), which
shall be fully-earned and nonrefundable on the Closing Date. A portion of such fee in an amount equal to One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) shall be payable on the Closing Date and the remaining portion of such fee in an amount equal to
One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000) shall be payable on September 1, 2020; 
 (b) Unused Facility Fee. A quarterly
unused facility fee equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum of the daily Availability Amount during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Line terminates, computed on the basis of
a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, and which fee shall be (i) payable on the first Business Day of each quarter (commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2020), (ii)
fully-earned and nonrefundable, and (iii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears; and 

  
 4 

 (c) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the
Closing Date (other than attorneys’ fees and expenses of outside counsel incurred prior to April 3, 2020 in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, which shall be paid promptly after the Closing Date), and,
after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and expenses of outside counsel incurred on and after April 3, 2020 in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, as
and when they become due. 
 (d) Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank,
Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make Advances
hereunder. Bank may, with the prior written consent of Borrower, deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.5 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4. 

2.6 Additional Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Advances. 

(a) Compensation for Losses. In the event that (i) any payment of a LIBOR Rate Advance is required, made or permitted on a date
other than the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto (including upon demand by Bank), (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance other than on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, or
(iii) the failure to convert, continue, borrow or prepay any LIBOR Rate Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Bank for the loss, cost and expense attributable
to such event in an amount computed as follows: the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Advance had such event not occurred, at the interest rate that would have been
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been
the LIBOR Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance), over (2) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate with Bank (or an Affiliate of Bank) would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of Bank delivered to Borrower and setting forth any amount or amounts that
Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate upon demand. 

(b) Increased Costs. 

(i) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(1) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Bank; 

  
 5 

 (2) subject Bank to any taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(3) impose on Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances
made by Bank; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any
Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Bank, Borrower will pay to Bank
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (ii) Capital
Requirements. If Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting Bank or any lending office of Bank or Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on Bank’s capital or on the capital of Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitments of Bank hereunder to make Advances, the Advances made by Bank, to a level below that which Bank or Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Bank’s policies and the policies of Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank or Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (iii)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to
Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(iv) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date
that Bank notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (c)
Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or prior to the first day of any LIBOR Interest Period, Bank reasonably determines that, (1) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, the LIBOR-Based Rate cannot be
determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (2) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and LIBOR Interest Period of the applicable Advance, or (3) the
LIBOR-Based Rate for any requested LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a proposed 

  
 6 

 
Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of funding such Advance, Bank will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Bank to make or maintain Advances
with an interest rate based on the LIBOR-Based Rate shall be suspended until Bank revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for an Advance with an interest rate based on the Prime Rate in the amount specified therein. 
 (d) Effect of
Benchmark Transition Event. 
 (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan
Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Bank may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will
become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Bank has provided such proposed amendment to Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrower, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, written
notice of objection to such amendment from Borrower. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Bank will have the
right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. 
 (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Bank will
promptly notify Borrower of (1) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date,
(2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (3) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (4) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by Bank pursuant to this Section 2.6(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance
or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Bank’s sole discretion and without consent from Borrower, except, in each case, as expressly required
pursuant to this Section 2.6(d). 
 (iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the
commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBOR Rate Advance or a conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and,
failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for, or a conversion to, an Advance with an interest rate based on the Prime Rate. 

  
 7 

 (e) Illegality. If Bank reasonably determines that any law has made it unlawful, or
that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Bank or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Advances the interest rate of which is determined by reference to the LIBOR-Based Rate, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the LIBOR-Based Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Bank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof
by Bank to Borrower, any obligation of Bank to make or continue such Advances shall be suspended until Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon
demand from Bank, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Advances to Advances with an interest rate based upon the Prime Rate, either on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period therefor, if Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances to
such day, or immediately, if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 2.6(a). 
 2.7 Term; Reduction of Revolving Line. 

(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.8, shall continue in full force and effect for
so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or obligations extending beyond maturity that have been cash collateralized in an amount and manner satisfactory to Bank) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make
Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default. 
 (b) Borrower may, at any time, reduce or terminate the Revolving Line; provided, that each partial
reduction of the Revolving Line shall be in a minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or in an integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in excess thereof. Borrower shall notify Bank of any election to reduce or
terminate the Revolving Line at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such reduction or termination, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to Section 12.8,
Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time, without premium or penalty, and provided all Obligations have been paid in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or obligations extending beyond maturity that have been cash collateralized
in an amount and manner satisfactory to Bank). Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Line if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Line. Any
reductions of the Revolving Line shall be permanent. 
 2.8 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by the Loan Parties under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as
required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment by Bank, then Bank shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and, if such tax is imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on 

  
 8 

 
account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document (an “Indemnified Tax”), then the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnified Taxes shall not include Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby indemnifies Bank,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Bank or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to Bank and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
governmental authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice by Bank, the Loan Parties shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing
authority or governmental authority; provided that Bank shall not be under any obligation to provide any such notice to any Loan Party. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by Bank shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 4. CREATION OF
SECURITY INTEREST. 
 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. 

(a) Each Loan Party grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Collateral to secure prompt repayment of any and all
Obligations and to secure prompt performance by such Loan Party of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Prior Liens, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the
presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in later-acquired Collateral. Each Loan Party also hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or
encumber any of its Intellectual Property, except in connection with Permitted Liens and Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations or obligations extending beyond maturity that have been cash collateralized in an amount and manner satisfactory to Bank) are outstanding. Upon Bank’s written confirmation of payment in full of the
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or obligations extending beyond maturity that have been cash collateralized in an amount and manner satisfactory to Bank), and the termination of Bank’s obligation to extend Credit
Extensions hereunder, Bank shall release its security interest in the Collateral (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) and deliver such documents and agreements reasonably required in order to acknowledge such release. 

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that it or its Subsidiaries previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services
Agreements with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, each Loan Party agrees that any amounts such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries owes Bank or Bank’s Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed
to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted
Prior Liens). 
 (c) If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Advances has terminated, Bank shall, at the
sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (i) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in
full, and (ii) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. 

 

  
 12 

 4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Each Loan Party authorizes Bank to file at any
time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (a) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (b) contain any other
information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether such Loan Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to such Loan Party, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed by Bank at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Each Loan Party
shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfection of Bank’s security
interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where
Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, such Loan Party shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to
(i) subject to Section 7.10, obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) subject to Section 6.6, obtain
“control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the
term “control” are defined in the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. No Loan Party will create any
chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Each Loan Party from time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific
Obligations. Each Loan Party authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by such Loan Party or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long
as the specific Obligations are outstanding. If any Loan Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a value in excess of $500,000, such Loan Party shall notify Bank of the general details thereof in the Compliance Certificate required to be
delivered under this Agreement following such event and shall grant to Bank in a writing signed by such Loan Party and delivered with such Compliance Certificate a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 4.3 Right to Inspect. Bank (through any
of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to
inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to,
the Collateral.

 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 

Each Loan Party represents and warrants, for itself and its Subsidiaries, as follows: 

5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is an entity duly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is organized and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict; Enforceability. The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within such Loan Party’s powers, have been duly authorized, and (a) are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in such Loan Party’s Operating Documents,
(b) do not contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material requirement of applicable law, (c) do not contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award of any Governmental Authority in the United States by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (d) do not require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification
with, or approval from, any Governmental Authority in the United States (except such approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect), and (e) do not constitute an event of default under any material agreement by
which such Loan Party is bound. No Loan Party is in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan
Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party,
enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms. 
 5.3 Collateral. Each Loan Party has rights in or the power to
transfer the Collateral, and its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. Other than movable items of personal property such as laptop computers, all
Collateral having an aggregate book value in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), is located solely in the Collateral States. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and merchantable quality, free from all material
defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Except as set forth in the Schedule or as expressly permitted by Section 6.6 or otherwise in this Agreement, none of the Collateral is maintained or invested with a
Person other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. 
 5.4 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party is the sole owner of the Intellectual
Property which it owns or purports to own, except for licenses granted by such Loan Party to its customers in the ordinary course of business, off-the-shelf and similar non-customized inbound licenses for applications of third parties used in connection with such Loan Party’s business and products, open source software licenses and licenses, if any, set forth on the Schedule.
To the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been
made to any Loan Party that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 14 

 5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, no
Loan Party has done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The chief executive office of each Loan Party is located in the
Chief Executive Office State at the address indicated in the Perfection Certificate. 
 5.6 Actions, Suits, Litigation, or
Proceedings. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no actions, suits, litigation or proceedings, at law or in equity, pending by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency, or arbitrator in which a
likely adverse decision could reasonably result in liability involving more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) individually or One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in the aggregate. 

5.7 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect or Default. 

(a) All consolidated and consolidating financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrower to Bank
fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of operations for the period then ended.

in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The audited financial statements of

 15 

 5.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. 

(a) Borrower and each Subsidiary have met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to
ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s incurring any liability that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged
principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations X, T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). As
of the date hereof, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened. Borrower and each Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with all the
provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and ordinances except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower has not, and no Subsidiary has, violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid, or have
made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower or such Subsidiary except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP or where the failure to file such returns
or pay such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of such Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ prior tax years which could
result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, except, with respect to any Subsidiary (other than any Guarantor), such claims or adjustments that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect on such Subsidiary’s business. 
 (c) With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the
United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Subsidiary that is not subject to United States law (a “Foreign Plan”):

 (i) any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any
Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices; 
 (ii) the fair market value of
the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide
for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in
accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles; and 
 (iii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been
registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. 

  
 16 

 5.10 Subsidiaries. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary owns any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments. 
 5.11 Government Consents. Borrower and each
Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Borrower’s business as
currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.12
Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, no Loan Party is a party to, nor is bound by, any material inbound license or other agreement, the failure, breach, or termination of which could reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect, or that prohibits or otherwise restricts such Loan Party from granting a security interest in such Loan Party’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. 

5.13 Shares. Each Loan Party has full power and authority to create a first lien on the applicable Shares and no disability or
contractual obligation exists that would prohibit such Loan Party from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, there are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on
transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. To each Loan Party’s
knowledge, the Shares are not the subject of any present or threatened suit, action, arbitration, administrative or other proceeding, and no Loan Party knows of any reasonable grounds for the institution of any such proceedings. None of the Shares
are certificated or otherwise evidenced by a “security certificate” (as that term is used in Article 8 of the Code). 
 5.14
Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by any Loan Party in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank taken together with all such certificates and written statements furnished to Bank contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by
any Loan Party in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

 5.15 Insurance. The insurance maintained by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate and is customary for
companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. As of the date hereof, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid. 

5.16 Beneficial Ownership Certification. As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if
applicable, is true and correct in all respects. 
 5.17 Sanctions. None of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any director or
officer, or any employee, agent, or Affiliate, of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is Person that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are, (a) the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department 

  
 17 

 
of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority or any other relevant sanctions authorities (collectively,
“Sanctions”), or (b) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the target of Sanctions, including currently, the Crimea region, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria. 

5.18 Anti-Bribery Laws. None of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries nor to the knowledge of Borrower, any director, officer, agent,
employee, Affiliate or other person acting on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of any applicable anti-bribery law, including
but not limited to, the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010 (the “UK Bribery Act”) and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). Furthermore, Borrower and, to the knowledge of Borrower, its Affiliates
have conducted their businesses in compliance with the UK Bribery Act, the FCPA and similar laws, rules or regulations and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to
ensure, continued compliance therewith. 
 5.19 Perfection Certificate. In connection with this Agreement, each Loan Party has
delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by such Loan Party, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”). Each Loan Party represents and warrants to Bank that (a) such Loan
Party’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) such Loan Party is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate;
(c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Loan Party’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Loan Party has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth such Loan
Party’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Loan Party’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) such Loan Party (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the
past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to
such Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that such Loan Party may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Closing Date to the extent permitted
by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If such Loan Party is not now a registered organization but later becomes one, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with such Loan Party’s
organizational identification number. 
 6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 

Each Loan Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries, covenants that, until payment in full of all outstanding Obligations (other than inchoate
indemnity obligations or obligations extending beyond maturity that have been cash collateralized in an amount and manner satisfactory to Bank), and for so long as Bank may have any commitment to make an Advance hereunder, such Loan Party shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, do all of the following: 
 6.1 Good Standing and Government Compliance. Maintain its organizational
existence and good standing in its state of formation (except to the extent a change with respect to a Subsidiary is in the best interest of Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and such change does not result could not be reasonably expected to result in
an Material Adverse Effect), and maintain 

  
 18 

 
qualification and good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and furnish to Bank the
organizational identification number issued to such Loan Party or Subsidiary by the authorities of the jurisdiction in which such Loan Party or Subsidiary is organized, if applicable. Borrower shall meet, and shall cause each Subsidiary to meet, the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. Borrower shall comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and maintain all
material permits, licenses and approvals required thereunder where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all statutes, laws,
ordinances and government rules and regulations to which it is subject, and shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which or failure to comply with which
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working

such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower or such Subsidiary. 

6.5 Insurance. 
 (a) At
its expense, keep the Collateral insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and all other hazards and risks, and in such amounts, as ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar businesses conducted in the
locations where Borrower’s business is conducted on the date hereof. Borrower shall also maintain, for itself and its Subsidiaries, liability and other insurance in amounts and of a type that are customary to businesses similar to
Borrower’s. 
 (b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as reasonably
satisfactory to Bank. All policies of property insurance shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to Bank, showing Bank as an additional loss payee, and all liability insurance policies shall show Bank as an
additional insured and specify that the insurer must give at least twenty (20) days’ notice to Bank before canceling its policy for any reason other than non-payment of premium and ten
(10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium. All policies of insurance shall be addressed to Bank as follows: c/o HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Attn: Insurance Department, P.O. Box 1165, Buffalo, NY 14203.
Upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank certified copies of the policies of insurance and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any casualty policy will, at the applicable Loan Party’s option, be payable to

Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, those registrable material intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter developed or acquired by Borrower or any Subsidiary, to the extent that Borrower, in its
reasonable business judgment, deems it appropriate to so protect such intellectual property rights.

property rights filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office, including the date of such filing and the registration or application numbers, if any.

Consent of Inbound Licensors. Prior to entering into or becoming bound by any inbound license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is
commercially available to the public and open source software licenses), the failure, breach, or termination of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (a) provide written notice to Bank of the material terms of
such license or agreement with a description of its likely impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition; and (b) in good faith take such actions as Bank may reasonably request to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person
whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s interest in such licenses or contract rights to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted by the
terms of the applicable license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Bank’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided, however, that the failure to obtain any such consent or waiver shall not constitute a default under this Agreement. 

6.10 Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries; Certification of Shares. In the event Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires any
Subsidiary, (a) promptly notify Bank of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary, (b) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, take all such action as may be reasonably required by Bank to cause such Subsidiary to guarantee
the Obligations pursuant to the Guaranty and to grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the collateral of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit B hereto), (c) grant and pledge to Bank a perfected security
interest in the Shares of such Subsidiary and (d) deliver to Bank all other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, including one or more opinions of counsel satisfactory to Bank, which in its opinion is appropriate with
respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above. In the event any Loan Party’s Subsidiaries’ Shares are certificated or otherwise evidenced by a “security certificate” (as

  
 23 

 
that term is used in Article 8 of the Code), such Loan Party shall deliver such security certificate, together with a duly executed transfer power or other instrument of transfer (in form and
substance satisfactory to Bank) executed in blank, to Bank in accordance with and to the extent required by the Pledge Agreement. 
 6.11
Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

such Loan Party will not do any of the following: 
 7.1 Dispositions. Convey, sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of

 26

8.1 Payment Default. If any Loan Party fails to pay any (a) payment of principal or interest on any Advance when due,

respect of Bank Services in an aggregate amount of at least $50,000 and, in the case of this clause (c), such Loan Party has failed to cure such default within ten (10) days after such Loan Party receives notice thereof or any officer of such
Loan Party becomes aware thereof; 
 8.2 Covenant Default. 

(a) If any Loan Party fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.1 (as to existence), 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7 or 6.12 or violates any of the
covenants contained in Section 7 of this Agreement; or 
 (b) If any Loan Party fails or neglects to perform or observe any other
material term, provision, condition, covenant contained in this Agreement, in any of the other Loan Documents or any Bank Services Agreement, provision, condition or covenant that can be cured, has failed to cure such default within ten
(10) days (or, solely to the extent relating to a Bank Services Agreement, thirty (30) days) after such Loan Party receives notice thereof or any officer of such Loan Party becomes aware thereof; provided, however, that if
the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period (or, solely to the extent relating to a Bank Services Agreement, thirty (30) day period) or cannot after diligent attempts by such Loan Party be cured within such ten
(10) day period (or, solely to the extent relating to a Bank Services Agreement, thirty (30) day period), and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then such Loan Party shall have an additional reasonable period
(which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days (or, solely to the extent relating to a Bank Services Agreement, sixty (60) days)) to attempt to cure such default, so long as such Loan Party continues to diligently attempt to cure
such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be made;

Adverse Effect. 

  
 27 

 8.4 Defective Perfection. If Bank shall receive at any time following the Closing

to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any trustee, receiver or person acting in a similar capacity and such attachment, seizure, writ or distress warrant or levy has not been removed, discharged or
rescinded within ten (10) days, or if such Loan Party or Subsidiary is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or other claim
becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any material portion of Borrower’s and its
Subsidiaries’ assets by the United States government, or any Governmental Authority, and the same is not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary receives notice thereof, provided that none of the
foregoing shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made during such cure period); 

8.6 Insolvency. If Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due, or if an
Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and is not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (provided that no
Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding); 
 8.7 Other Agreements. If there is a default
or other failure to perform in any agreement to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with a third party or parties (a) resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of

shall be rendered against Borrower or any Subsidiary and the same are not, within ten (10) days after the entry thereof, discharged or execution thereof stayed or bonded pending appeal, or such judgments are not discharged prior to the
expiration of any such stay (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the discharge, stay, or bonding of such judgment, order, or decree); 

  
 28 

 8.10 Misrepresentations. If any material misrepresentation or material misstatement
exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth herein, in any Loan Document, in any Bank Services Agreement or in any certificate delivered to Bank by any Responsible Officer pursuant to this Agreement or to induce Bank to enter
into this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Bank Services Agreement which Borrower has failed to cure within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice thereof or any officer of Borrower becomes aware thereof; provided,
however, that if such default cannot by its nature be cured within such ten (10) day period, and is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed
an additional thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, so long as Borrower continues to diligently attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an
Event of Default but no Credit Extensions will be made;

non-renewal in the case of either clause (a) or (b) (i) cause, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) adversely affects the legal qualifications of
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold a governmental approval in any applicable jurisdiction and such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal could reasonably be expected to
affect the status of or legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold any governmental approval in any other jurisdiction and such effect on the status of or legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries cause, or
could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without
notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by the Loan Parties: 

  
 29 

 (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); 

(b) Cause to be terminated any FX Contracts; 

(c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank; 
 (d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order
that Bank reasonably considers advisable; 
 (e) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Each Loan Party agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Each Loan Party authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its
security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of any Loan Party’s owned premises, each Loan Party hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same,
without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 
 (f) Set off
and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of such Loan Party held by Bank or its Affiliates, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party held by Bank or its
Affiliates; 
 (g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner
provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, each Loan Party’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name,
trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection
with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, such Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit; 

(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in
such manner and at such places (including any Loan Party’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate. Bank may sell the Collateral
without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank
sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may
resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale; 
 (i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public
sale; 

  
 30 

 (j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the
Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and 

(k) Exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or any Bank Services Agreement or at law or equity, including
all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 Bank may comply with any
applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Any deficiency that exists after
disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. 
 9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send
requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s
possession; (c) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors;
(d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature
of such Loan Party where permitted by law; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of such Loan Party on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred. The appointment of Bank as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed
and Bank’s obligation to provide Advances hereunder is terminated. 
 9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to any Loan Party of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Loan Party shall collect all amounts owing to
such Loan Party for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit. 

9.4 Bank Expenses. If any Loan Party fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities,
as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Bank
deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take 

  
 31 

 
any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent, provided that Bank shall give Borrower prior written notice of its intent to spend more than Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00) in accordance with this Section 9.4. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall
be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement. 

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower. 
 9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Bank has no
obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting
Bank’s rights against the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party waives any right it may have to require Bank to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations. 

9.7 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Bank Services Agreements and all
other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by
Bank of any Event of Default on any Loan Party’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document
signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Each Loan Party expressly agrees that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of
performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise. 
 9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Loan Party
waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations. 

10. NOTICES. 
 All
notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of
