 Attention: Tom Landry 
  
 Ladies and Gentleman:

  
 Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (“MLBFS”) and
Landry Marks Partners LP (“Landry Marks”) each previously have or may hereafter provide financing to ThinkSpark Corporation and/or ThinkSpark, L.P, (collectively, the “ThinkSpark Entities”). The purpose of this
letter is to set forth the terms of an agreement among MLBFS, Landry Marks and the ThinkSpark Entities with respect to the security interests of MLBFS and Landry Marks in certain assets of the ThinkSpark Entities. The parties hereto agree as
follows: 
  
 1. The ThinkSpark Entities may grant a security interest to Landry
Marks in all of the present and future accounts (collectively, the “Accounts”) of the ThinkSpark Entities to secure the indebtedness and obligations now or hereafter owing to Landry Marks by the ThinkSpark Entities, or either of
them. 
  
 2. Landry Marks hereby subordinates its security interest in the
Accounts (other than the Released Accounts, as defined below), to the security interest of MLBFS in the Accounts (other than the Released Accounts). As used herein, the term “Released Accounts” shall mean these Accounts in
which MLBFS hereafter releases its security interest in writing. 
  
 3. Landry
Marks hereby agrees (a) not to direct, instruct or demand any account debtor on the Accounts to make payment on such Accounts to Landry Marks (other than with respect to the account debtors of any Released Accounts) or attempt to collect on any such
Accounts through any judicial proceedings, and (b) that if Landry Marks hereafter receives a payment directly from an account debtor on any Accounts (other than the Released Accounts) Landry Marks shall, after receipt of written notice from MLBFS
that an event of default has occurred under the MLBFS credit facility with the ThinkSpark Entities (a “Default Notice”), promptly deliver any such payment to MLBFS; provided, however, until Landry Marks receives a
Default Notice, Landry Marks may apply such payment pursuant to the terms of its Factoring and Security Agreement with the ThinkSpark Entities and/or forward such payment to the ThinkSpark Entities.

 4. MLBFS hereby agrees (a) not to direct, instruct or demand any account debtor make payment to MLBFS (i) on the Released
Accounts or (ii) unless Landry Marks has received a Default Notice and an event of default under the MLBFS credit facility is continuing, on any other Accounts which are owing by an account debtor of Released Accounts, (b) not to attempt to collect
on any Released Accounts through any judicial preceedings, and (c) that if MLBFS hereafter receives a payment directly from an account debtor with respect to any Released Account, MLBFS shall promptly deliver any such payment to Landry Marks.

  
 Nothing herein shall be construed as a commitment or agreement by either MLBFS
or Landry Marks to provide or to continue to provide financing to the ThinkSpark Entities. 
  
 6. This agreement will continue in full force and effect in the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the ThinkSpark Entities (or either of them), whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by
operation of law or otherwise, or in the event of any receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy preceedings, by or against ThinkSpark Entities (or either of them) under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
