    WITNESSETH:
    WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated March 1, 2012, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated May 31, 2012 (collectively, the “Existing Lease”) Sublessee leases from Prime Landlord (herein defined) certain office space comprising the entirety of the seventh (7th) floor of the North Tower of the Building (herein defined), consisting of approximately 32,883 rentable square feet, as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the "Sublease Premises"); 
    WHEREAS, the term of the Existing Lease is set to expire on August 31, 2022; 
    WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Deed of Lease dated April 17, 2018, as amended by that First Amendment to Deed of Lease dated December 23, 2019 and that Second Amendment to Deed of Lease dated January 1, 2020 (collectively, the “Prime Lease”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), Sublessor leases from TAMARES 7950 OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prime Landlord”), certain office space (the “Prime Lease Premises”) in the building located at 7950 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102 (hereinafter referred to as the “Building”), as more particularly described in the Prime Lease;
    WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Sublessor and Prime Landlord shall enter into that certain Third Amendment to Deed of Lease (the “Third Amendment”), wherein Prime Landlord shall lease the Sublease Premises to Sublessor commencing on September 1, 2022.  Upon execution of the Third Amendment, the Prime Lease shall include the Third Amendment; and     
    WHEREAS, Sublessee desires to sublease from the Sublessor, and Sublessor desires to sublease to Sublessee the Sublease Premises upon the terms and conditions of this Sublease.
    NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereto agree as follows:
    1.    Defined Terms; Recitals; Sublease Premises. 
a.Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Prime Lease, a copy of the redacted Prime Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The recitals set forth above are incorporated as if set forth fully herein.
    b.     The Sublessor does hereby sublease to the Sublessee, and the Sublessee does hereby sublease from the Sublessor, for the term and upon the conditions hereinafter provided, the Sublease Premises. 
    2.    Term. 
    a.     Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 24 of this Sublease, the term of this Sublease (the “Term”) shall commence on September 1, 2022 (the “Sublease Commencement Date”), the date immediately following the expiration of the Existing Lease, and shall expire, subject to the exercise by Sublessee of the Option to Extend (defined below), at midnight on August 31, 2025 (the “Sublease Expiration Date”).  If for any reason the term of the Prime Lease is terminated prior to the Sublease Expiration Date, this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the date of such termination and except in the event such termination is solely caused by a default by Sublessor that remained uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for such termination. If said termination is not due to the Sublessee’s default of its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable cure or grace period and is resulting from Sublessor’s default under the Prime Lease or this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublessee’s obligations hereunder shall survive such termination and Sublessor shall have such rights against Sublessee as are set forth herein.
    b.     For purposes of this Sublease, the term “Sublease Year” shall mean that period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months that commences on the Sublease Commencement Date, and each consecutive twelve (12) month period 

thereafter.  The earliest such twelve-month period shall be referred to as the “First Sublease Year”, and each of the following Sublease Years shall similarly be numbered for identification purposes.  
    3.    Option to Extend.
a.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, Sublessor grants to Sublessee an option to extend the Term of this Sublease for an additional twelve (12) month period ("Option to Extend") commencing on the day next following the Sublease Expiration Date and expiring August 31, 2026 (such period, the “Extension Period").  Sublessee may exercise the Option to Extend by written notice of its election (“Election Notice”) delivered to Sublessor at any time between April 1, 2024 and August 1, 2024; provided, however, Sublessor shall have the right, at Sublessor’s sole discretion, to reject Sublessee’s timely election to exercise its Option to Extend by providing written notice of such rejection to Sublessee within thirty (30) days of Sublessor’s receipt of Sublessee’s Election Notice.  
b.    The Sublease Base Rent for the Sublease Premises shall escalate during the Extension Period pursuant to the rent schedule set forth in Section 7 below.
    4.    Condition of Sublease Premises. As of the Effective Date, Sublessee is in possession of the Sublease Premises under the Existing Lease and accepts the Sublease Premises in "AS IS" condition subject to the obligations of Prime Landlord set forth in the Existing Lease.  Sublessee acknowledges that neither Sublessor nor any agent or employee of Sublessor nor Prime Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the physical condition of the Sublease Premises or with respect to the suitability of the same for Sublessee’s purposes, except as expressly provided in this Sublease.
    With the exception of the express obligations of Sublessor outlined in this Sublease, Sublessor shall have no obligation: (a) to furnish or provide, or cause to be furnished or provided, any repairs, restoration, alterations or other work, or electricity, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, water, elevator, cleaning, or other utilities or services; or (b) to comply with or perform or, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, to cause the compliance with or performance of, any of the terms and conditions required to be performed by Prime Landlord under the terms of the Prime Lease. Sublessee hereby agrees that Prime Landlord is solely responsible for the performance of the foregoing obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the written request of Sublessee, Sublessor shall make a written demand on Prime Landlord to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises if Prime Landlord fails to perform same within the time frame and in the manner required under the Prime Lease and Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Sublessor in connection therewith as Additional Rent.   In the event Prime Landlord fails to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises following the aforesaid written demand, Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Prime Landlord to perform its obligations, but in no event shall Sublessor be obligated to bring an action against the Prime Landlord to enforce its obligations.  However, if Prime Landlord continues to fail to perform its obligations after Sublessor has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause Prime Landlord to perform its obligations, Sublessee, at its sole cost and expense and subject to Prime Landlord’s consent as evidenced in the Prime Landlord Consent, shall have the right to bring an action against the Prime Landlord to enforce its obligations.  
    5.    Use. Sublessee shall use and occupy the Sublease Premises solely for the purposes set forth in the Prime Lease, in accordance with the terms thereof.  Sublessee shall use and occupy the Sublease Premises solely in accordance with, and as permitted under, the terms of the Prime Lease and for no other purpose.  Subject to Prime Landlord’s consent set forth in the Prime Landlord Consent, Sublessee may continue to use the Sublease Premises in the same manner as Sublessee used the Sublease Premises under the Existing Lease. 
    6.    Rent. The rent reserved under this Sublease for the term hereby created shall consist of (a) an annual rent (hereinafter referred to as “Base Rent”) in an amount as set forth below in Section 7 hereof; and (b) such additional sums of money as may be payable by the Sublessee from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease (hereinafter referred to as “Additional Rent”). The Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”) to the Sublessor at its notice address as set forth in Section 18 below, or at such other address as the Sublessor may hereafter designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States, without notice, demand, set off or deduction whatsoever except as may be otherwise set forth herein or in the Prime Lease, at the times and in the manner hereinafter specified. Sublessee’s obligation to pay Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease except as may be otherwise set forth herein or in the Prime Lease. Sublessee may also make rent payments via ACH or wire per the following banking instructions:
Bank name:        Silicon Valley Bank
ABA/Routing:    121140399
Account no.:       [____________]
Beneficiary:        Appian Corporation
Ref:                      [____________] 

    Sublessee shall pay a late charge in such amount set forth in the Prime Lease of the amount of any installment of Rent not paid within five (5) business days of the due date.  In addition to the foregoing late charge, provided Sublessor is obligated to pay Prime Landlord interest on all past due payments of Rent pursuant to the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall pay interest beginning on the first day of the month following the due date until paid, at the rate (“Interest Rate”) set forth in the Prime Lease, provided, however, that the interest sought to be imposed shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted under Federal law or under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no late charge or interest shall be assessed against Sublessee the first time in any twelve (12) month period that Sublessee is late making any payment hereunder so long as such payment is made within five (5) business days after notice from Sublessor.  
    7.    Base Rent.  Sublessee shall pay Base Rent based upon an agreed square footage of the Sublease Premises of 27,000 square feet, notwithstanding the square footage of the Sublease Premises otherwise set forth herein.  Commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Sublease Term, the Base Rent payable by Sublessee during the Sublease Term shall be as follows:
												
	Time Frame	Rate Per 27,000 SF	Annualized Rent	Monthly Rent
	September 1, 2022 – August 31, 2023	$50.50	$1,363,500.00	$113,625.00
	September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024	$52.27	$1,411,222.56	$117,601.88
	September 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025	$54.10	$1,460,615.40	$121,717.95
	               Extension Term (if exercised)

	September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2026	$55.99	$1,511,736.96	$125,978.08

  
Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term; provided, however, that no Event of Default (herein defined) then exists beyond any applicable cure or grace period, Base Rent shall be abated for the first three (3) full months immediately following the Sublease Commencement Date.  Upon termination of this Sublease as a result of an Event of Default by Sublessee, the then-current unamortized portion of the abated Base Rent shall become immediately due and payable. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution and delivery hereof, the first such monthly installment of Base Rent payable hereunder (i.e. the Base Rent for the fourth (4th) month of the Term) in the amount of $113,625.00.
8.    Additional Rent. Sublessee shall not be responsible for any costs associated with increases in Operating Charges and Real Estate Taxes in the Prime Lease.  However, commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublessee shall assume and pay as Additional Rent during the Term of this Sublease any amount which Sublessor becomes obligated to pay the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease as a result of Sublessee’s request or Sublessee’s default under this Sublease (including, without limitation, utilities, rent or charges which were incurred due to Sublessee’s actions or use of the Sublease Premises or parking areas or at the request or direction of Sublessee, such as Prime Landlord’s charge for after-hours heating and air-conditioning services applicable to the Sublease Premises, plus any administration fees charged by Prime Landlord), which Additional Rent shall be due and payable to Sublessor by Sublessee within twenty (20) days of Sublessee’s receipt of a statement from Sublessor of amounts due, unless other payment dates are hereinafter expressly provided. 
9.    Security Deposit.  Sublessee shall deposit (the “Security Deposit”) with Sublessor the amount of $486,871.80 representing 4 months of Base Rent in the form of a letter of credit that meets the requirements set forth in Section 2.3 of the Prime Lease (the “Letter of Credit), which shall be held by Sublessor as security for the faithful performance by Sublessee of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease, it being expressly understood and agreed that the deposit is neither an advance payment of Base Rent nor a measure of Sublessor’s damages in case of an Event of Default by Sublessee.  Provided no event of default caused solely by Sublessee exists under this Sublease on the first day of the eighteenth (18th) month following the Sublease Commencement Date (the “Burn Down Date”), Sublessee shall have the right to reduce the Security Deposit to $243,435.90 by an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit that complies with Section 2.3 of the Prime Lease, in the amount of $243,435.90. However, if an event of default caused solely by Sublessee exists on the Burn Down Date, then Sublessee shall have the right to reduce the Security Deposit to $243,435.90 by an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit that complies with Section 2.3 of the Prime Lease, in the amount of $243,435.90, on the date that is thirty (30) days from the date Subtenant cures the default. The Security Deposit may be retained, used or applied by Sublessor to remedy any Event of Default by Sublessee.  If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Sublessee shall, immediately upon demand therefor, deposit an additional letter of credit  with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount required hereunder, and Sublessee’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease.  Except to the extent required by applicable law, Sublessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds. Sublessee shall not be entitled to interest, if any, on such deposit.  Sublessor’s use or application of all or any portion of the Security Deposit shall not preclude or impair any other rights or remedies provided for under this Sublease or under applicable laws and shall not be construed as a payment of liquidated damages.   The Security Deposit is due and payable upon the date of execution and delivery hereof.  The Security Deposit shall be returned to Sublessee, without interest (less any amount then payable by Sublessee to Sublessor hereunder), within thirty (30) days after the 

expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, provided that Sublessee is not in default and has vacated the Sublease Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease.   

10.    Alterations.  
a.     Sublessee shall not make any alteration, improvement, decoration, or installation (hereinafter called “Alterations”) in or to the Sublease Premises, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Prime Landlord and Sublessor in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease; provided, however, Sublessee agrees it shall be reasonable for Sublessor to withhold consent to an Alteration request if Prime Landlord has not consented to the same in accordance with the Prime Lease.  All Alterations made by or on behalf of Sublessee (including the installation and construction of the same) must be performed in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease and comply with all rules and regulations of the Building applicable to all tenants and occupants or otherwise imposed by Prime Landlord. In the event that the Prime Landlord approves an Alteration, Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent.
b.     Removal of Alterations Made With Consent. All repair and restoration obligations of the tenant under the Prime Lease shall apply to Sublessee with respect to the Sublease Premises; provided, however, as between Sublessor and Sublessee, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall not be required to (i) remove or restore any improvements or other matters existing in the Sublease Premises prior to the Sublease Commencement Date, or (ii) restore the Sublease Premises to any condition existing prior to the Sublease Commencement Date.  Prime Landlord’s determination in accordance with the Prime Lease that an Alteration made by or on behalf of Sublessee must be removed from the Sublease Premises shall be conclusive and Sublessee shall be required to remove the same and perform any restoration work required pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease; provided further, that any Specialty Alteration (as hereinafter defined) shall be removed by Sublessee (or remain in the Sublease Premises) if required by Prime Landlord or Sublessor. “Specialty Alteration” shall mean any Alteration, improvement or item that is constructed or installed by or on behalf of Sublessee, to the extent that such Alteration (x) is not generally usable by other office tenants, or which perforates, penetrates, or requires reinforcement of a floor slab, (y) is visible from outside of the Sublease Premises, or (z) consists of wiring or cabling.  Notwithstanding the above, Sublessee shall not be obligated to remove Alterations and Specialty Alterations, if any, located in the Sublease Premises if constructed prior to the Sublease Commencement Date.
c.     Removal of Alterations Made Without Consent. If any Alterations (regardless of whether or not the Alteration is a Specialty Alteration) are made by or on behalf of Sublessee after the Effective Date without Prime Landlord’s consent in accordance with the Prime Lease and Sublessor’s consent in accordance with this Sublease, then Prime Landlord or Sublessor may remove the same, and may (but shall not be obligated to) correct, repair and restore the Sublease Premises and any damage arising from such removal, the costs of the forgoing work to be promptly reimbursed by Sublessee.  If such Alterations are not removed by Prime Landlord or Sublessor, then Sublessee shall, upon request of Prime Landlord or Sublessor, remove said Alterations, repair all damage resulting directly from such removal and restore the Sublease Premises to the condition as of the date immediately prior to such Alteration(s), ordinary wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted.   
    d.    Failure to Remove Alterations.  If Sublessee fails or refuses to remove any Alterations as required by the terms of this Sublease, or fails to correct, repair and restore the Sublease Premises as required by the terms of this Sublease, Prime Landlord or Sublessor may cause the same to be removed, and repairs and restoration to be made, in which event Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any and all reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor (whether directly or as a pass-through) to cause said Alterations to be removed and repairs and restoration made, together with any and all actual damages suffered by Sublessor or Prime Landlord by reason of Sublessee’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Section.  If Prime Landlord or Sublessor elect to exercise its rights set forth in Section 10(c) above, Sublessor shall have the same rights and remedies set forth in this Section 10(d).
    11.     Terms of the Prime Lease. 
a.Sublessee acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a redacted version of the Prime Lease.  Sublessee’s rights pursuant to this Sublease are subject and subordinate at all time to the Prime Lease, and to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that the Sublessor agrees not to effect any modification or amendment of the Prime Lease which might adversely and materially affect the rights of the Sublessee hereunder without the written consent of the Sublessee in each case, and to all the terms, covenants, and agreement of the Prime Lease, except as expressly modified by this Sublease.

        c.    All policies of insurance as aforesaid shall name the Sublessor, the Prime Landlord, and such other entity as Prime Landlord may require under the Prime Lease, as additional insureds, as their interests may appear. Sublessee shall waive, and shall require its insurers to waive, any rights of subrogation or recovery against Sublessor, the Prime Landlord, and such other entity as Prime Landlord may require under the Prime Lease. 

    13.    Default; Sublessor Remedies.

(i)The occurrence of a default under the Prime Lease described in Section 21.1 of the Prime Lease;
(ii)Sublessee’s failure to pay any payment required by this Sublease when due, or, if no due date is specified, within three (3) business days after Sublessee’s receipt of Sublessor’s written notice that it has not timely received payment;
(iii)Sublessee’s failure to observe or perform any term, condition or covenant under this Sublease (other than those specified elsewhere in this Section), which failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the same from Sublessor, provided however, if such breach cannot be reasonably cured within such 15 day period, it shall not be an event of Default if Sublessee commences to cure promptly and diligently thereafter prosecutes the same to completion and further, provided, that Sublessor shall not be in default under the Prime Lease beyond any applicable cure or grace period;
(iv)If Sublessee (i) is generally not paying its debts as they become due or becomes insolvent or bankrupt, (ii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) files, becomes subject to, or acquiesces in a petition in any court (whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any state) in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding, (v) makes an application in a proceeding for, becomes subject to, or acquiesces in, the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver or agent for Sublessee or for all or a portion of Sublessee’s assets, or (vi) acquiesces in any petition filed against Sublessee in any court (whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any state) in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, in which Sublessee is the subject, and, in any of the foregoing events enumerated in items (iv), (v) or (vi) above, (1) an order for relief is issued thereon, or (2) the subject petition shall be approved by any court, or (3) the subject proceeding shall not be dismissed, discontinued, terminated or vacated within thirty (30) days after the subject petition is filed.
Upon the occurrence of a default by Sublessee under this Sublease which Sublessee does not timely commence to cure, Sublessor may, but shall not be obligated to, upon the giving of reasonable notice to Sublessee, cure such default on behalf of Sublessee.  Such cure shall not waive or release any obligation of Sublessee hereunder and shall not waive any rights or remedies at law or otherwise.  All reasonable and actual sums so paid or incurred by Sublessor, together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such sums were paid or incurred shall be payable to Sublessor within thirty (30) days as Additional Rent. 
b.    Upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any remedies available to Prime Landlord and/or Sublessor pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease, Sublessor may take any or all of the following actions without notice, which shall be cumulative and non-exclusive:
(v)Sublessor may terminate this Sublease and if Sublessor terminates this Sublease following an Event of Default, Sublessor shall have the right at any time, at its sole option, to require Sublessee to pay to Sublessor on demand, as liquidated and agreed final damages:  (i) the then present cash value of the Base Rent and Additional Rent from the date of such demand to the Sublease Expiration Date, minus (ii) the then cash rental value (of the Sublease Premises for the same period; provided, however, that if such damages are limited by law to a lesser amount, Sublessor shall be entitled to prove as liquidated damages the maximum amount permitted by law.  In computing liquidated damages, the then present cash value of the Base Rent and Additional Rent from the date of demand to the Sublease Expiration Date shall be deemed to be the sum which, if invested at the rate for Treasury Bills having a maturity date closest to the end of the Term remaining hereunder, would produce such Base Rent and Additional Rent over the period of time in question, and the then cash rental value of the Sublease Premises shall be deemed prima facie to be the rental realized upon a reletting, if reletting can be accomplished by Sublessor within a reasonable time after such termination. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect or prejudice Sublessor’s right to other damages, or to prove, and claim in full, unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent accrued prior to termination of this Sublease plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate.  Sublessee agrees that the provisions of this Section, including, but not limited to, present value damages, shall not be construed as a penalty and hereby waives any right to assert that any acceleration of rent, or other enforcement by Sublessor of its rights pursuant to this Section, shall be construed as a penalty;
(vi)Any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs) in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Sublease shall be repaid to Sublessor by Sublessee upon demand.

    14.    Notice and Cure Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, each and every time limit contained in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands, making of payments, performance of acts, conditions, or covenants, or for the exercise of any rights, remedies or options by the tenant thereunder, shall be shortened by three (3) business days for the purposes of this Sublease so that in each instance Sublessee shall have three (3) business days less time than  Sublessor has under the Prime Lease; provided in no event shall any such time limit applicable to Sublessee be reduced to less than  five (5) business days in the aggregate (except to the extent a shorter time limit is expressly provided in the Prime Lease, in which case such shorter time limit shall apply). Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Sublessor agrees to promptly notify Sublessee of any notice received by Sublessor from Prime Landlord which affects the Sublease Premises (including default notices) or Sublessee’s use thereof or obligations under this Sublease.
15.    Licenses, Assignments and Further Subleases. Except as provided herein below, Sublessee shall not license or sublet all or any portion of the Sublease Premises or assign this Sublease, in whole or in part, without Sublessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but subject to Prime Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall have the right, (i) with Sublessor’s prior written consent, but subject to Prime Landlord’s consent, to license a portion of the Sublease Premises to a third party with whom Sublessee either has a joint venture, strategic partnership or for whom Sublessee does work, provided that the licensed premises is not separately demised, (ii) without Sublessor’s consent, but with Prime Landlord’s consent, to assign this Sublease or sublease, all or any portion of the Sublease Premises, to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Sublessee or to any successor entity to Sublessee by way of merger, consolidation or other non-bankruptcy reorganization or which purchases a controlling interest in Sublessee or substantially all of the assets of Sublessee located at the Sublease Premises (each, a “Permitted Transfer”), and/or (iii) with Sublessor’s prior written consent, but subject to Prime Landlord’s consent,  assign this Sublease or sublet the Sublease Premises, in whole or in part, to a third party (except for a Permitted Transfer), provided the assignee or subtenant is capable of fulfilling the financial obligations of Sublessee under this Sublease, and the proposed use of the Sublease Premises is consistent with the use permitted herein. Each subtenant, assignee and licensee shall be required to comply with the terms of this Sublease, as applicable, and Prime Landlord’s reasonable policies and regulations regarding use and occupancy of the Demised Premises and the Building.  Within ten (10) business days of receipt of Sublessee’s written request for consent to such assignment or subletting (other than a Permitted Transfer), Sublessor shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to Sublessee, to (i) terminate this Sublease and recapture the entire Sublease Premises, (ii) grant its consent to Sublessee’s written request, or (iii) deny its consent to Sublessee’s written request, and, if Sublessor fails to timely respond, Sublessor’s consent shall be deemed granted; provided, however, the foregoing shall not waive any obligation to obtain Prime Landlord’s consent.  

        16.    Quiet Enjoyment. The Sublessor covenants and agrees with the Sublessee that, so long as Sublessee is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the Sublessee may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Sublease Premises during the term of this Sublease, in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease.
    17.     Indemnification.  
         a.

In any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Sublessee to both Prime Landlord and Sublessor with respect to the Sublease Premises.   Unless otherwise set forth herein to the contrary, Sublessor shall not be deemed to have made and shall have no liability to Sublessee with respect to (i) representations and warranties made by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and (ii) any indemnification obligations of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, or other obligations or liability of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease with respect to compliance with laws, condition of the Sublease Premises or Hazardous Materials. This Section 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall surrender the Sublease Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease and otherwise in accordance with the Prime Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor shall have no responsibility for the removal or repair obligations with respect to any alterations or improvements existing in the Sublease Premises as of the Sublease Commencement Date for which Sublessee is obligated to remove or repair under this Sublease or the Existing Lease.      
    b.     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on or prior to the Sublease Expiration Date, Sublessee shall surrender the Sublease Premises to Sublessor in accordance with the terms of this Sublease.  If Sublessee fails to vacate and surrender the Sublease Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease or otherwise holds over after the Sublease Expiration Date of this Sublease without the express written consent of Sublessor, Sublessee shall become a tenant of sufferance only, and shall be required to pay to Sublessor the amount set forth in Article 5 of the Prime Lease as it applies to the Sublease Premises, and Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation any claim made by Prime Landlord resulting from Sublessee’s failure to surrender the Sublease Premises and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Sublessor.

Sublessor and Sublessee acknowledge agree that Newmark represents Sublessee and Cushman & Wakefield represent Sublessor in the negotiation of this Sublease (collectively, the “Brokers”).  Sublessor and Sublessee warrant and represent to each other that, other than the Brokers, no broker brought about this transaction or dealt with either party in connection herewith, and each party agrees to indemnify the other from and against any costs or expenses incurred by the non-breaching party on account of a breach of this representation by Sublessor and Sublessee, respectively.  Sublessor shall pay Brokers a subleasing commission pursuant to a separate, written agreement.
    21.    Parking.  Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 of the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall have the right to utilize up to 81 unreserved Parking Permits in the parking areas of the Building in common with other tenants of the Building at no additional charge; provided, however, in the event Subtenant incurs any additional parking fees or requests and obtains any additional Parking Permits, Sublessee shall be solely responsible for the cost therefore.  Subject to Prime Landlord’s consent as evidenced in the Prime Landlord Consent, Sublessee shall have the right to the same parking rights under the Existing Lease for the Term of the Sublease.  Sublessee’s parking rights shall be governed by the provisions of Section 1.3 of the Prime Lease, to the extent they do not conflict with the provisions of this Section 21 and the Prime Landlord Consent. 
    22.    Signage.  Subject to Prime Landlord’s approval as evidenced in the Prime Landlord Consent, all of Sublessee’s existing signage may remain during the Term.  Sublessee shall keep insured and maintain all such signage in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease.  If required by Prime Landlord or Sublessor, Sublessee shall remove its signage at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. 
    23.    Access.  During the last twelve (12) months of the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall allow Sublessor and its agents to enter the Sublease Premises with a representative of Sublessee, from time-to-time and upon reasonable prior notice, so that Sublessor may plan for its use of the Sublease Premises after the Sublease Expiration Date.  In the event Sublessor or its agents causes any damage during such entry, Sublessee shall give written notice thereof to Sublessor, together with supporting documentation evidencing such damage, including photos and videos, if available. Sublessor shall be liable for any and all reasonable and actual costs, expenses, losses, liabilities and claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sublessee as a result of such entry, including, without limitation, the cost of any repairs and replacements necessary to restore the Sublease Premises to the condition as of the date of the entry.  Sublessor shall indemnify and hold harmless 

Sublessee from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities and claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sublessee in connection with such entry.          
    24.    Effectiveness Contingent Upon Prime Landlord’s Consent to Sublease.  Sublessor and Sublessee expressly acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is expressly conditioned on obtaining the written consent of Prime Landlord and the written consent of any mortgagee, ground lessor, or other third party required under the Prime Lease (collectively, “Prime Landlord’s Consent”). Sublessee and Sublessor hereby acknowledge and agree that the transaction contemplated by this Sublease shall in no circumstances be deemed an assignment of Sublessor’s interest in the Prime Lease to Sublessee.  Sublessee and Sublessor each waive any right to assert that the Sublease constitutes an assignment of Sublessor’s interest in the Prime Lease to Sublessee.  In the event Sublessor or Sublessee shall make any such assertion, the party which made such assertion shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and Prime Landlord from and against any and all reasonable costs, expenses, losses, liabilities and claims (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by the other party and Prime Landlord in connection with such assertion.  Sublessee may not rescind, void, terminate, or otherwise cancel this Sublease unless Prime Landlord’s Consent is not obtained on or before November 30, 2021, in which event both Sublessor and Sublessee shall each have the right to terminate this Sublease upon written notice to the other party.
    25.    Limitations on Liability.  
        a.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in the Prime Lease or this Sublease, as the same may be amended from time to time, no present or future shareholder, beneficial owner, officer, director, trustee, agent, servant or employee of either Sublessee or Sublessor shall have any personal liability to the other for the obligations of the applicable party arising out of, in connection with or under this Sublease, the relationship of Sublessee and Sublessor, or Sublessee’s use of the Sublease Premises.  Each party shall be solely liable for its obligations under this Sublease, to the extent of the assets of said party.  It is understood and agreed that the assets of shareholders or beneficial owners of either the Sublessee or the Sublessor, as distinguished from any shareholder’s or beneficial owner’s interest in undistributed assets of the applicable party, may not be seized or attached by the other party for the satisfaction of the applicable party’s obligations under this Sublease.
        b.  In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any indirect, special or consequential damages. 
    26.     Representations.

2The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in the preamble thereof:
“APPIAN CORPORATION, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”),”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“APPIAN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”),”
3The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 2.2 thereof:

4The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 2.2 thereof:

“    (c)    LIBOR Advances.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Advance shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder.  Subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.6, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Advance.  The LIBOR Rate Margin applicable to LIBOR Advances shall be determined on the basis of Borrower’s most recent quarterly Average Daily Usage, as determined by Bank.”

5The Loan Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following new Sections 2.6 and 2.7, appearing immediately after Section 2.5 thereof:

“    2.6    Rates.

Bank and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Prime Rate, the Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower.  Bank may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Prime Rate, the Term SOFR or other benchmark, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
2.7    Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of any benchmark rate, Bank will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. Bank will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of such benchmark rate.”

Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, each LIBOR Advance shall not be less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall be in a multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).  In addition to such Notice of Borrowing, Borrower must promptly deliver to Bank by electronic mail such other reports and information, including without limitation, sales journals, cash receipts journals, accounts receivable aging reports, as Bank may request in its sole discretion.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“    (a)    Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, an Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Bank by electronic mail.  Together with any such electronic notification, Borrower shall deliver to Bank by electronic mail a completed Notice of Borrowing executed by an Authorized Signer or his or her designee. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time, (a) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of any SOFR Advance, and (b) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of a Prime Rate Advance, specifying: (i) the amount of the Advance; (ii) the requested Funding Date; (iii) whether the Advance is to be comprised of SOFR Advances or Prime Rate Advances; and (iv) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any such SOFR Advances included in such notice. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  In addition to such Notice of Borrowing, Borrower must promptly deliver to Bank by electronic mail such other reports and information, including without limitation, sales journals, cash receipts journals, accounts receivable aging reports, as Bank may request in its sole discretion.  Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from an Authorized Signer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.”  
7The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 thereof:

“    3.5    Conversion and Continuation Elections.
(a)    So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Advances, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:
(1)    elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Advances into LIBOR Advances;
(2)    elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date; or
(3)    elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Advances maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Prime Rate Advances.
(b)    Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation by electronic mail to be received by Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. Eastern time (i) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Advances are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances; and (ii) on the Conversion Date, if any Advances are to be converted into Prime Rate Advances, in each case specifying the:
3

(1)    proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;
(2)    aggregate amount of the Advances to be converted or continued;
(3)    nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(4)    if the resulting Advance is to be a LIBOR Advance, the duration of the requested Interest Period.
(c)    If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Advances or request to convert a LIBOR Advance into a Prime Rate Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Rate Advances.
(d)    Any LIBOR Advances shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Advances in the event that (i) an Event of Default exists, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Advances which have been previously converted to LIBOR Advances, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Advances continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base.  Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, debit the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Prime Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 3.5(d).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Advances.
3.6    Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Advances.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Advances as to the matters covered:
(a)    Determination of Applicable Interest Rate.  As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Advances for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.
(b)    Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Advance, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Advance on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by electronic mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Advances until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to LIBOR Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.
(c)    Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  If (i) for any reason, other than a default by Bank or any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Advances due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(c) and 3.7(d) of this Agreement, a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Advance does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) any complete or partial principal payment or reduction of a LIBOR Advance, or any conversion of any LIBOR Advance, occurs on a 
4

date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that LIBOR Advance, including due to voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration, then, in each case, Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank, for all losses and expenses incurred by Bank in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of:
(A)    the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount (1) not borrowed, converted or continued as provided in clause (i) above, or (2) paid, reduced or converted as provided in clause (ii) above, for the period from (y) the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, to (z) in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, the last day of the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuing but for such failure, and in the case of a payment, reduction or conversion prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance as provided in clause (ii) above, the last day of such Interest Period, in each case at the applicable rate of interest or other return for such LIBOR Advance(s) provided for herein (excluding, however, the LIBOR Rate Margin included therein, if any), over 
(B)    the interest which would have accrued to Bank on the applicable amount provided in clause (A) above through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue as provided in clause (i) above, or the date of such payment, reduction or conversion as provided in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, for a period equal to the remaining period of such applicable Interest Period provided in clause (A) above. Bank’s request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation and such determination as to such compensation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  

(d)    Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances.  Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each relevant LIBOR Advance through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.7.
(e)    LIBOR Advances After an Event of Default.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.
3.7    Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances.
(a)    Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
(i)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advances (other than changes which affect 
5

taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);
(ii)    imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any LIBOR Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or
(iii)    imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
    Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.  Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7(a).  Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make LIBOR Advances, of making or maintaining LIBOR Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of LIBOR Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)    If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction.  A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) shall survive the Revolving Line Maturity Date, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.
(c)    If, at any time, Bank, in its reasonable discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Advances, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower.  Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Advances shall terminate; provided, however, LIBOR Advances shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances. 
(d)    If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advances or to perform its obligations hereunder, or if the LIBOR Rate becomes unavailable for any reason, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the LIBOR Advances in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(ii)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Advance then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/
6

Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c)(ii), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“    3.5    Conversion and Continuation Elections; Limitations on SOFR Tranches.
(a)    Borrower may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Advances to Prime Rate Advances by giving Bank prior notice in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of SOFR Advances may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances by giving Bank prior notice in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no Prime Rate Advance may be converted into a SOFR Advance when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any SOFR Advance in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered by Borrower to Bank, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(b)    Borrower may elect from time to time to continue any SOFR Advance by giving Bank prior notice of such election in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Advance; provided that no SOFR Advance may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that (x) if Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically continued as SOFR Advances bearing interest at a rate based upon the Term SOFR and with an Interest Period of the same length as then expiring Interest Period  or (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such SOFR Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Advances on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.  
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, each request for or conversion to a SOFR Advance shall be equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Amount is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), such lesser amount).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of SOFR Advances and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (i) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the SOFR Advances comprising each SOFR Tranche shall be equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the SOFR Advances then outstanding), and (ii) no more than seven SOFR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
(d)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have an Advance be made or continued as, or converted to, a SOFR Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance and (ii), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall, at Bank’s option, be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Advances referred to therein as Prime Rate Advances.
7

(e)    Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the conversion or continuation of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of a SOFR Advance that requests a conversion of a Prime Rate Advance to a SOFR Advance, continuation of a SOFR Advance or conversion of a SOFR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance must specify: (i) the amount of the Advance to be converted or continued; (ii) the requested conversion or continuation date; (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; (iv) in the case of a continuation of a SOFR Advance or a conversion of a Prime Rate Advance to a SOFR Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable for such Advance; and (v) any other information requested on the form of Notice of Conversion/Continuation. In the case of a continuation of a SOFR Advance or a conversion of a Prime Rate Advance to a SOFR Advance, if no Interest Period is specified in such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, an Interest Period of one month’s duration shall be deemed to have been selected.
3.6    Special Provisions Governing SOFR Advances.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to SOFR Advances as to the matters covered herein:
(a)    Inability to Determine Interest Rates. Subject to Section 3.6(b), 
(i)    if Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii)    Bank determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that “Term SOFR” for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of funding such Advance,
Bank will promptly so notify Borrower.  Upon notice thereof by Bank to Borrower, any obligation of Bank to make and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to SOFR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until Bank revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Prime Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (y) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Prime Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.6(c).
(b)    Benchmark Replacement Setting. If at any time Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the Term SOFR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Bank has made a public statement announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR, permanently or indefinitely, or that SOFR is no longer representative, then Bank shall determine an alternate rate of interest to SOFR and a spread adjustment mechanism that gives due consideration to (1) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate or spread adjustment mechanism by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and/or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or any successor thereto and/or (2) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to SOFR for similarly situated loans in the United States at such time, and Bank shall amend this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, such spread adjustment, and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Bank shall provide Borrower with notice of such amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.7 (Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration), such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Bank has provided such amendment to Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrower, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, 
8

written notice of objection to such amendment from Borrower. In the event that Borrower objects to such amendment, Bank and Borrower shall endeavor to agree on an alternate rate of interest that is mutually acceptable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.6(b) (but in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section  3.6(b), only to the extent that SOFR is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any SOFR Advances requested to be made shall be made as Prime Rate Advances, and (y) any outstanding SOFR Advances shall be converted to Prime Rate Advances on the date determined by Bank as notified by Bank to Borrower.
(c)    Indemnity.  In the event of, (i) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Bank for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds.  A certificate of Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Borrower shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
3.7    Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding SOFR Advances.
(a)    Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any SOFR Advances relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
(i)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any SOFR Advances (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);
(ii)    imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any SOFR Advances); or
(iii)    imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
    Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the First LMA Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.  Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7(a).  Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make SOFR Advances, of making or maintaining SOFR Advances, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of SOFR Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)    If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into 
9

consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction.  A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) shall survive the Revolving Line Maturity Date, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.
(c)    If, at any time, Bank, in its reasonable discretion, determines that (i) the amount of SOFR Advances for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank, or (ii) Term SOFR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the SOFR Advances, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower.  Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the SOFR Advances shall terminate; provided, however, SOFR Advances shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to SOFR Advances. 
(d)    If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any SOFR Advances or to perform its obligations hereunder, or if Term SOFR becomes unavailable for any reason, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the SOFR Advances in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(c)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a SOFR Advance then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Advance or to have outstanding Advances converted into or continued as Prime Rate Advances by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.”
8The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Section 5.4 thereof:
“    5.4    Financial Statements; Financial Condition.  All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.  There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“    5.4    Financial Statements; Financial Condition.  All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank by submission to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.  There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank.”
9The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Section 5.10 thereof:

“    5.10    Full Disclosure.  No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written 
10

certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“    5.10    Full Disclosure.  No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any report, certificate or written statement submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written reports, written certificates and written statements submitted to the Financial Statement Repository or otherwise submitted to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the reports, certificates, or written statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).”
10The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 6.2 thereof:

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” (Emphasis added.)

C.By entering into this release, Borrower recognizes that no facts or representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to be true, but that it is the intention of Borrower hereby to fully, finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected; accordingly, if Borrower should subsequently discover that any fact that it relied upon in entering into this release was untrue, or that any understanding of the facts was incorrect, Borrower shall not be entitled to set aside this release by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of mistake of fact or law or any other circumstances whatsoever.  Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or statement made by Bank with respect to the facts underlying this release or with regard to any of such party’s rights or asserted rights.
D.This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and/or as a cross-complaint or counterclaim against any action, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of this release.  Borrower acknowledges that the release contained herein constitutes a material inducement to Bank 
19

to enter into this Loan Modification Agreement, and that Bank would not have done so but for Bank’s expectation that such release is valid and enforceable in all events.
E.Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank, and Bank is relying thereon, as follows:
1Except as expressly stated in this Loan Modification Agreement, neither Bank nor any agent, employee or representative of Bank has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Loan Modification Agreement.

2Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Loan Modification Agreement and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary.

3The terms of this Loan Modification Agreement are contractual and not a mere recital. 

4This Loan Modification Agreement has been carefully read by Borrower, the contents hereof are known and understood by Borrower, and this Loan Modification Agreement is signed freely, and without duress, by Borrower.  

5Borrower represents and warrants that it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to every claim and every other matter which it releases herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, firm or entity any claims or other matters herein released.  Borrower shall indemnify Bank, defend and hold it harmless from and against all claims based upon or arising in connection with prior assignments or purported assignments or transfers by Borrower of any claims or matters released herein.
9.CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this  Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations.  Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations.  It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing.  No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.
10.COUNTERSIGNATURE.  This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.
