skill and the Executive’s best efforts to the performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of charitable, civic,
social and religious organizations, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, social, religious, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the Executive’s passive personal investments, in each case so
long as such activities in the aggregate do not interfere or conflict with the Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. 

2. EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Company agrees to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Executive agrees
to be so employed, for a term of eighteen (18) months (the “Initial Term”) commencing as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). On each anniversary of the Effective Date following the Initial Term, the term of
this Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one-year terms; provided, however, that either party hereto may elect not to extend this Agreement by giving written notice to the
other party at least ninety (90) days prior to any such anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, subject to Section 7

rate of not less than $300,000 (the “Initial Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, but not less frequently than monthly. The Executive’s base salary shall be subject to annual
review by the Board of Managers of the Company (the “Board”) (or a committee designated thereby), and may be adjusted from time to time by the Board. The base salary as determined herein and adjusted from time to time shall
constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s Base Salary shall at no time during the Initial Term be less than the Initial Salary, except as a result of a reduction (i)

4. ANNUAL BONUS. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual discretionary incentive payment under
the Company’s annual bonus plan as may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Bonus”) based on a target bonus opportunity of 35% of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), in each case upon
the attainment of one or more performance goals established by the Board or any committee designated thereby in its sole discretion.

to the extent that such plans are duplicative of the benefits otherwise provided for hereunder. The Executive’s participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may modify or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time. 
 (b) BUSINESS EXPENSES.
Upon presentation of reasonable substantiation and documentation as the Company may specify from time to time, the Executive shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred and paid by the Executive during the Employment Term and in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder,

Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice),
innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches, specifications, designs, plans, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all other
confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter 

  
 5 

 
existing, relating to or arising from the past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of PCISM Ultimate Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, including the Company
(collectively, the “Company Group”), including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning finances, sales, marketing, advertising, transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors,
raw partners and/or competitors. The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Executive’s assigned duties
and for the benefit of the Company Group, either during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s
and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and to use such information only for certain limited purposes, in each case, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the
Executive’s employment by the Company (or any predecessor). The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent
to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive; or (iii) the Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that the Executive provides
the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure, so long as legally permissible, and cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). 

(b) NONCOMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the Executive performs services of a unique nature for the Company
Group that are irreplaceable, and that the Executive’s performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company Group, (ii) the Executive has had and will continue to have access to trade secrets
and other confidential information of the Company Group, which, if disclosed, would unfairly and inappropriately assist in competition against the Company Group, (iii) in the course of the Executive’s employment by a competitor, the
Executive would inevitably use or disclose such trade secrets and Confidential Information, (iv) the Company Group has substantial relationships with its customers and the Executive has had and will continue to have access to these customers,
(v) the Executive has received and will receive specialized training from the Company Group, and (vi) the Executive has generated and will continue to generate goodwill for the Company Group in the course of the Executive’s
employment. Accordingly, during the Employment Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee,
consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in competition with the Company Group in any other material business
in which the Company Group is engaged on the date of termination or in which they have planned (provided Executive was aware of such plan), on or prior to such date, to be engaged in on or after such date, in any locale of any country in which the
Company Group conducts business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a business
that is in competition with the Company Group, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that, (A) notwithstanding the restrictions contained in
this Section 9(b), (1) Executive shall not be prohibited from accepting employment with any agency of the United States government (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions contained in this
Section 9(b) shall be deemed to prohibit Executive 

  
 6

the National Security Administration (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any other potential future employer) in any program in which any member of the Company Group was engaged, or planned to engage, during the Employment Term), and (2) neither
the investments made as of the date hereof by Executive in convertible promissory notes issued by Anno.Ai Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Anno”), nor the conversion of any such note listed into equity interests of Anno pursuant to
the terms of such note, shall be deemed to violate this Section 9(b); provided that Executive (x) shall hold such note or equity interests received as a result of any such conversion in a purely passive manner,
(y) shall not have any role, directly or indirectly, in the day-to-day operations or decision-making of Anno, and (z) shall at no time during the Employment
Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter possess, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate with any other Seller(s) (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the power to direct or cause the direction of the management,
operation or policies of Anno, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and (B) in the event Executive desires to engage in an activity that falls within the scope of this Section 9(b), or with respect to
which it is unclear whether such activity falls within the scope of this Section 9(b), the Executive may request the Company’s prior written consent to such activity and, if the Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, consents in writing to the Executive’s requested activity, the Executive may undertake such activity to the extent of the Company’s consent and will not be deemed to have violated this Section 9(b) on
account thereof. 
 (c) NONSOLICITATION; NONINTERFERENCE. 

(i) During the Employment Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall
not, except in the furtherance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, solicit, aid or induce any individual or entity that is, or was during
the twelve-month period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, a customer or supplier of the Company Group to purchase goods or services then sold by the Company Group from another person, firm,
corporation or other entity, or stop supplying or purchasing, as applicable, or decrease the amount of goods, materials or services being supplied to or purchased from the Company Group, as applicable, or assist or aid any other persons or entity in
identifying or soliciting any such customer or supplier. 
 (ii) During the Employment Term and for a period of one
(1) year thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, except in the furtherance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other
entity, (A) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company Group to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity
unaffiliated with the Company Group or hire or retain any such employee, representative or agent, or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such
employee, representative or agent, or (B) interfere, or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company Group and any of their respective vendors, joint venturers or licensors. Any person
described in this Section 9(c)(ii) shall be deemed covered by this Section 9(c)(ii) while so employed or retained and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

 (d) MUTUAL NONDISPARAGMENT. The Executive agrees not to make negative comments or
otherwise disparage the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents or products, except as required by applicable law or order or in the course of filing a charge with a government agency or
participating in its investigation. The Company agrees not to make, and agrees to instruct its officers, managers and directors not to make, negative comments about, or otherwise disparage, the Executive, except as required by applicable law or
order or in the course of filing a charge with a government agency or participating in its investigation.

(i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products,
developments or works of authorship (“Inventions”), whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that relate to the Executive’s work with the Company or any of its affiliates, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or
jointly with others, during the Employment Term, or (B) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in connection with the Company or its affiliates, either while performing the Executive’s duties with the Company or its affiliates
or on the Executive’s own time, shall belong exclusively to the Company (or its designee), whether or not patent applications are filed thereon. The Executive will keep full and complete written records (the “Records”), in the
manner prescribed by the Company, of all Inventions, and will promptly disclose all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the Executive will surrender them upon
the termination of the Employment Term, or upon the Company’s request. The Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company the Inventions and all patents that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether during
or subsequent to the Employment Term, together with the right to file, in the Executive’s name or in the name of the Company (or its designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”). The Executive
will, at any time during and subsequent to the Employment Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and
expense, with respect to the Inventions. The Executive will also execute assignments to the Company (or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain
the Inventions for the Company’s benefit, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company, but entirely at the Company’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive is required to provide testimony, Executive
shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with travel to and from such testimony in
accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and, if required to provide testimony after the Employment Term, reasonably compensated for his time during such travel and testimony. If the Company is unable for any other reason to
secure Executive’s signature on any document for this purpose, then Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in
Executive’s behalf and stead to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in connection with the foregoing. 

  
 8 

 (ii) In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term
is defined under the copyright laws of the United States, on behalf of the Company and the Executive agrees that the Company will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised,
throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Executive. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the
Company, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all
renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations
and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to
the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with respect to the
Inventions. To the extent that the Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of the Executive’s service to the Company or its affiliates that cannot be assigned in the manner described herein, the Executive agrees to unconditionally
waive the enforcement of such rights. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would
otherwise accrue to the Executive’s benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider to the Company. 

(iii) The Executive shall not improperly use for the benefit of, bring to any premises of, divulge, disclose, communicate,
reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with the Company any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party without the
prior written permission of such third party. The Executive represents and warrants that he does not possess or own any rights in or to any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual
property related to the business of the Company. The Executive shall comply with all relevant policies and guidelines of the Company regarding the protection of Confidential Information and intellectual property and potential conflicts of interest,
provided same are consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Company may amend any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that the Executive remains at all times bound by their most current version.

 (f) RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason (or
at any time prior thereto at the Company’s request), the Executive shall return all property belonging to the Company or its affiliates (including, but not limited to, any Company-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic
mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company).

 (g) REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Executive gives the
Company assurance that the Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 9 hereof. The Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary
for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its affiliates and their trade secrets and Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic
area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent the Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by the restraints. The Executive agrees that, before

limitation, this Section 9) to such entity, and the Company shall be entitled to share a copy of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 9) with such entity or any other entity to which the Executive performs
services. The Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its affiliates and that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such
covenants remain in force. The Executive further covenants that the Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9, and that the Executive will reimburse the Company and
its affiliates for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 9 if either the Company and/or its affiliates prevails on any material issue
involved in such dispute or if the Executive challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Section 9. It is also agreed that each of the Company’s affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the
Executive’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement and shall be third party beneficiaries hereunder, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 9. 

(h) REFORMATION. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this
Section 9 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable
to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state. 
 (i) TOLLING. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this
Section 9, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it

 10. COOPERATION. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company
(including outside counsel), the Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive’s
employment with the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company, its affiliates and their respective representatives in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company or its affiliates, and will provide reasonable
assistance to the Company and its affiliates in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or its affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company

its affiliates (or their actions) or another party attempts to obtain information or documents from the Executive (other than in connection with any litigation or other proceeding in which the Executive is a party-in-opposition) with respect to matters the Executive believes in good faith to relate to any investigation of the Company or its affiliates, in each case, regardless of whether a lawsuit or other
proceeding has then been filed against the Company or its affiliates with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. During the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding involving Claims, the Executive shall not
communicate with anyone (other than the Executive’s attorneys and tax and/or financial advisors and except to the extent that the Executive determines in good faith is necessary in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties
hereunder) with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving the Company or any of its affiliates without giving prior written notice to the Company or the
Company’s counsel. 
 11. EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 9 or Section 10 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the
event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or
permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a violation by the Executive of

terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

 16.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by
means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf or similar attachment to electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the

 17. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS
CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SCHEDULES ATTACHED HERETO, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF
LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. 

18. ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

(a) Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement or any breach or threatened breach hereof
(“Arbitrable Dispute”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); provided, that nothing in this Section 18(a) shall prohibit a
party from instituting litigation to enforce any Final Determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 18(a) or in the rules and procedures of AAA as in effect from time to time, the
arbitration procedures and any Final Determination hereunder shall be governed by and shall be enforced pursuant to the Uniform Arbitration Act and applicable provisions of Delaware Law. 

(b) In the event that any party asserts that there exists an Arbitrable Dispute, such party shall deliver a written notice to each other party
involved therein specifying the nature of the asserted Arbitrable Dispute and requesting a meeting to attempt to resolve the same. If no such resolution is reached within thirty (30) days after such delivery of such notice, the party delivering
such notice of Arbitrable Dispute (the “Disputing Person”) may, within forty-five (45) days after delivery of such notice, commence arbitration hereunder by delivering to each other party involved therein a notice of
arbitration (a “Notice of Arbitration”) and by filing a copy of such Notice of Arbitration with the New York office of AAA. Such Notice of Arbitration shall specify the matters as to which arbitration is sought, the nature of any
Arbitrable Dispute and the claims of each party to the arbitration and shall specify the amount and nature of any damages, if any, sought to be recovered as a result of any alleged claim, and any other matters required by the rules and procedures of
AAA as in effect from time to time to be included therein, if any. 

  
 13 

 (c) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Notice of Arbitration, the parties
shall use their best efforts to agree on an independent arbitrator expert in the subject matters of the Arbitrable Dispute (the “Arbitrator”). If the parties cannot agree on the identity of the Arbitrator, each of the parties to the
Arbitrable Dispute shall select one independent arbitrator expert in the subject matter of the Arbitrable Dispute. In the event that any party fails to select an independent arbitrator as set forth herein within twenty (20) days after delivery
of a Notice of Arbitration, then the matter shall be resolved by the arbitrator(s) selected by the other party(ies). The arbitrators selected by the parties to the Arbitrable Dispute shall select the Arbitrator, and the Arbitrator shall resolve the
matter according to the procedures set forth in this Section 17. 
 (d) The Arbitrator selected pursuant to
Section 18(c) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration of any Arbitrable Dispute and the enforcement of
its rights under this Agreement and, if the Arbitrator determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the Arbitrator may award the prevailing
party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement. 

(e) The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules and procedures of AAA as in effect from time to time, except as otherwise set forth
herein or as modified by the agreement of all of the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Baltimore, Maryland. The Arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration so that a final result, determination, finding, judgment and/or award (the
“Final Determination”) is made or rendered as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Notice of Arbitration nor later than ten (10) days following completion of the
arbitration. The Final Determination must be agreed upon and signed by the Arbitrator. The Final Determination shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and there shall be no appeal from or reexamination of the Final Determination, except for
fraud, perjury, evident partiality or misconduct by an arbitrator to correct manifest clerical errors. 
 (f) The parties hereto may enforce
any Final Determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (g) Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process by
registered mail or personal service. 
 (h) If any party shall fail to pay the amount of any damages, if any, assessed against it within five
(5) days after the delivery to such party of such Final Determination, the unpaid amount shall bear interest from the date of such delivery at the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable
laws. Interest on any such unpaid amount shall be compounded monthly, computed on the basis of a 365 day year and shall be payable on demand. In addition, such party shall promptly reimburse the other party for any and all costs or expenses of any
nature or kind whatsoever (including but not limited to all attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in seeking to collect such damages or to enforce any Final Determination. 

  
 14 

 (i) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY SEEKING EQUITABLE RELIEF). 

19. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer or director of the Company as may be designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement together with all exhibits hereto
sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof;
provided that the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 9 and 10 and other obligations contained in this Agreement are independent of, supplemental to and do not modify, supersede or restrict (and shall not be modified,
superseded by or restricted by) any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement confidentiality or other
similar covenants in any other current or future agreement unless express written reference is made to the specific provisions hereof which are intended to be superseded. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement and any such other representations are hereby disclaimed. The Board shall resolve, in its sole discretion, any ambiguity
regarding the application of any provision of this Agreement in the manner it deems equitable, practicable and consistent with this Agreement and applicable law. 

20. REPRESENTATIONS. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive has the legal right to enter into
this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on the Executive’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, and (b) the Executive is not a party to any agreement or understanding, written or oral, and is not subject to
any restriction, which, in either case, could prevent the Executive from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder. 

21. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE HAS ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT FREELY AND WITHOUT COERCION, THE EXECUTIVE HAS
BEEN ADVISED BY THE COMPANY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL OF THE EXECUTIVE’S CHOICE WITH REGARD TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EXECUTIVE’S COVENANTS HEREUNDER, THE EXECUTIVE HAS HAD AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH SUCH 

  
 15 

 COUNSEL AND EITHER SO CONSULTED OR FREELY DETERMINED IN THE EXECUTIVE’S OWN DISCRETION NOT TO SO
CONSULT WITH SUCH COUNSEL, THE EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL, AND THE EXECUTIVE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT AND FULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE EXECUTIVE’S REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS HEREUNDER. KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP (“K&E LLP”) HAS NOT AND IS NOT REPRESENTING THE EXECUTIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND K&E LLP HAS NOT AND IS NOT PROVIDING ANY
ADVICE OR COUNSEL (INCLUDING LEGAL ADVICE OR COUNSEL) TO THE EXECUTIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED AS HAVING BEEN DRAFTED JOINTLY BY THE EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY AND NO PRESUMPTION OR BURDEN
OF PROOF SHALL ARISE FAVORING OR DISFAVORING ANY PARTY HERETO BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORSHIP OF ANY OR ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

22. TAX MATTERS. 
 (a)
WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In the event that the
Company fails to withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law or regulation, the Executive agrees to indemnify the Company for any amount paid with respect to any such taxes, together with any interest, penalty and/or expense related
thereto. 
 (b) SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. 

(i) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in
compliance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. 

(ii) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing
for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of
this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on
the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code
Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured 

  
 16 

 from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (B) the
date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 22(b)(ii) (whether they would have
otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in
accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 
 (iii) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (A) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on
or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (B) any right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses
eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. 

(iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified
period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code
Section 409A.

Attention: Mr. Reginald Brothers 
 Re:
Employment Offer 
 Dear Reginald: 
 On behalf of AE
Industrial Partners Fund II, L.P. (“AE”), we are pleased to present this offer letter to you (this “Agreement”) summarizing the details related to the offer of employment for the position of Chief Executive Officer
of NuWave Solutions Holdings, LLC (the “Company”). Subject to your timely execution of this Agreement and the successful completion of a transaction with NuWave Solutions, LLC (the “Target Company”), your employment
with the Company will commence immediately after the closing of the acquisition of the Target Company (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement will be binding immediately upon its timely execution by you. 

Title 
 Your title and position will be Chief Executive
Officer, reporting directly to the Board of Managers of the Company. 
 Location 

You will be headquartered at the Company’s office in McLean, VA. 

Compensation 
  

	 	•	 	 Base Salary – Effective on the Effective Date, your base salary will be $300,000
(USD) per year, less applicable withholdings, that will be paid semi-monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures. You should note that the Company may modify job titles and benefits from time to time as it deems
necessary, in its sole discretion. There will be an opportunity for your compensation to increase as the Company continues to grow and meet its growth objectives, and your compensation will be reevaluated periodically for such increases, at the sole
discretion of the Board of Managers of the Company. 

  

	 	•	 	 Annualized Bonus – You will be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount
up to 70% of your base salary, the final amount of which will be dependent upon achievement of business goals, at the sole discretion of the Board of Managers of the Company. 

 

	 	•	 	 Incentive Equity – Upon the approval and establishment of a Management Incentive
Equity Plan of the Company, you will be granted incentive units of the Company amounting to 15% of the management incentive equity pool, which translates to 1.5% of the total equity of the Company based off AE’s estimated initial investment
(the “Grant”). The Grant will set forth applicable vesting and forfeiture terms and any other terms and conditions deemed necessary or desirable to drive Company success. In addition, you may be eligible to receive additional equity
or long-term incentive awards under any other applicable incentive plan adopted by the Company pursuant to which other c-suite employees are generally eligible to receive such awards. The level of your
participation in such plan(s), if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Managers of the Company from time to time.

eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans, including any tax-qualified retirement plan, currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other similarly situated
Company c-suite employees. 

 Employment Relationship 

The Company looks forward to a beneficial and productive relationship. Nevertheless, your employment with the Company will be for no specific period and you or
the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below), and with or without notice and for any reason or no particular reason, and without the need to make any additional payments, except as
expressly set forth below in the section of this Agreement titled “Termination Without Cause”. Although your compensation and benefits may change from time to time, the nature of your employment as described in this paragraph and the
section below titled “Termination” may only be changed by an express written agreement approved by the Board of Managers of the Company and signed by another executive of the Company and you. Your employment will be subject to the
Company’s personnel policies and procedures in effect from time to time. 
 Termination 

 

	 	•	 	 Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 

 

	 	•	 	 “Cause” means, with respect to you, one or more of the following, as determined by the Board of
Managers of the Company in its sole discretion: (i) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) the commission of any act or omission involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or fraud; (iii) the commission
of any act or omission which is significantly injurious to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates; (iv) reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or the use of illegal drugs or the illegal use of
legally controlled substances (whether or not at the workplace) or other conduct causing the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates public disgrace or disrepute or significant economic harm, whether if in conjunction with the
performance of any duties for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, or otherwise; (v) failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board of Managers of the Company; (vi) any act or omission aiding or
abetting a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates to the disadvantage or detriment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates; (vii) breach of any fiduciary duty, gross
negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates; or (viii) any breach of the provisions set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement or any other material breach of this Agreement or any
policies or procedures of the Company. 

  

	 	•	 	 “Disability” means your inability to perform your essential job duties, with or without a
reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship, with the Company for sixty (60) consecutive days or for a total of ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period, in either case, as a result of a mental or physical
impairment. 

  

	 	•	 	 “Liquidity Event” means (i) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in
one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all, substantially all, or a majority of the assets of (x) the Company or (y) any of its subsidiaries (in each case, including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reorganization or sale of securities), (ii) a transaction or series of related transactions (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or sale of securities) the result of which is that the equityholders of the
Company or the equityholders of any subsidiary of the Company are, after giving effect to such transaction (or series of related transactions), no longer, in the aggregate, the beneficial owners of more than 50% of the voting power of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company or such subsidiary, or (iii) a sale of the equity interests of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the public pursuant to an offering registered under the Securities Act and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

	 	•	 	 Termination Without Cause. If you incur a “separation from service” from the Company
(within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation
from Service”) during your period of employment by the Company (the “Employment Period”) by reason of a termination of your employment by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of your resignation, death or
Disability), (1) you shall be entitled to receive your base salary (as in effect on the date of the Separation from Service) for a period of six (6) months following the date of your Separation from Service, which shall be paid in accordance
with the normal payroll practices of the Company (the “Severance Payments”) and (2) the “Post-Employment Restricted Period”, as such term is used in Appendix A, shall mean a period of six (6) months immediately
following the last day of your Employment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) it shall be a condition to your right to receive the Severance Payments that you execute and deliver to the Company an effective general release of claims in a
form prescribed by the Company (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) days) following the date of your Separation from
Service and that you not revoke such Release during any applicable revocation period, and (y) in the event you breach any of the provisions set forth in Appendix A, the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and you shall not have any right to
receive, any further Severance Payments. Upon execution and delivery of the Release, payment of the Severance Payments shall begin no later than ninety (90) days after the date of your Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the above-referenced 90-day period begins in one taxable year for you and ends in a second taxable year for you, the Severance Payments shall begin in the second taxable year (and within such 90-day period) as required under Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	•	 	 Resignation in Connection with a Liquidity Event. If you incur a Separation from
Service during the Employment Period by reason of your resignation and such resignation occurs within 120 days of a Liquidity Event, the “Post-Employment Restricted Period”, as such term is used in Appendix A, shall mean a period of
twenty-four (24) months immediately following your Employment Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not owe you any payments in connection with such resignation. 

 

	 	•	 	 Other Resignation or Termination. If you incur a Separation from Service during the
Employment Period by reason of the Company’s termination of you for Cause, your resignation (that does not occur within 120 days of a Liquidity Event), your Disability or for any other circumstances other than those described above under the
headings “Termination Without Cause” or “Resignation in Connection with a Liquidity Event”, the “Post-Employment Restricted Period”, as such term is used in Appendix A, shall mean a period of six (6) months
immediately following your Employment Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not owe you any payments in connection with such Separation from Service. 

 

	 	•	 	 Six-Month Delay. To the maximum extent
permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Severance Payments are intended to comply with the “separation pay exception” under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-l(b)(9)(iii). To the extent the
overall amount and/or timing of Severance Payments do not qualify for the “severance pay exception,” then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation the Severance
Payments, shall be paid to you during the six (6)-month period following your Separation from Service if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this

  Page
 4
 of 10 
  

	 	 
Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first
business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of your death), the
Company shall pay you a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to you during such delay period (without interest). 

Restrictive Covenants 
 By execution of this Agreement,
you agree to be bound by the provisions set forth in Appendix A attached hereto, including the confidentiality, invention assignment and restrictive covenants set forth therein, which Appendix A is incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if
fully set forth herein. The Company agrees to be bound by the non-disparagement provision set forth in Appendix A. 

Employment Taxes 
 All payments made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to withholding of applicable deductions and withholdings for income and employment taxes. The Company shall not be obligated to compensate you or provide you with any gross-up
amounts for any taxes, including excise or other federal and state taxes owed by you as a result of such payments. 

Pre-Employment Documentation 

For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in
the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. 

No Conflicts 
 We also ask that, if you have not already
done so, you disclose to the Company any and all agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect your eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which you may be employed. This includes the existence of any
restrictive covenant agreements you may have with any prior employer. It is the Company’s understanding that any such agreements will not prevent you from performing the duties of your position. 

Code Section 409A Compliance 
 It is intended that
the provisions of this Agreement are either exempt from or comply with the terms and conditions of Section 409A of the Code and to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are applicable thereto, all provisions of this
Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability with regard to any failure to comply
with Section 409A of the Code. If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code each installment shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee during any
calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Employee
is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or
in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

1. Restrictive Covenants. You (the “Executive”) acknowledge that in the course of Executive’s employment with the
Company, the Executive will become familiar with the trade secrets and other Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company, its subsidiaries and its affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”) and that the
Executive’s services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company Parties. Therefore, the Executive agrees that, in order to protect and preserve the trade secrets, Confidential Information, and customer and client
relationships and goodwill of the Company (collectively, the “legitimate business interests”), it is reasonably necessary for the Executive to agree to certain restrictions as set forth in this Appendix A. The Executive agrees that:
(1) the length of time of the restrictions in this Appendix A is reasonable; (2) the geographic area covered by the restrictions of this Appendix A is reasonable; (3) the restrictions of this Appendix A afford fair protection to the
Company Parties; (4) the extent of the restraint on the Executive under this Appendix A is reasonably necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company Parties; (5) that the restrictions of this Appendix A do
not interfere with the public interest; and (6) the restrictions in this Appendix A are supported by good and valuable consideration. To the extent Executive interacts with, performs services for, serves as an officer, director or manager of,
or receives or has access to Confidential Information of any Company Party in addition to the Company, the definition of “Company” for purposes of this Appendix A shall also include any such additional Company Party. 

(a) Confidential Information. 

(i) The Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data (including trade secrets) previously obtained, or to be obtained,
by him during the course of Executive’s employment with the Company (and/or other Company Parties) concerning the business or affairs of the Company Parties or their predecessors and their respective affiliates (“Confidential
Information”) are the property of the Company (or such other Company Parties or affiliates, as applicable), including information concerning acquisition opportunities in, or reasonably related to, the Company’s business or industry of
which the Executive becomes or has become aware during such employment. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not disclose or use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company Parties in
connection with the Executive’s performance of duties under this Agreement, unless and to the extent that the Confidential Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. 

(ii) The Executive acknowledges that all client and customer lists, supplier lists, discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations,
improvements, developments, methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any Confidential Information) and all registrations or applications
related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to any Company Party’s or any of their respective affiliates’ actual or anticipated business, research and
development, or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice by the Executive (either solely or jointly with others) while employed by any Company Party or any of their
predecessors (including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information or records) (“Work Product”) belong to the Company or such applicable other Company Party, and the Executive acquires no proprietary interest
in the Work Product. The Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above Work Product to the Company or such applicable other Company Party. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by the Executive in the course of the
Executive’s work for any of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws, and the Company or such applicable other Company Party shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such
copyrightable work is not a “work made for hire,” the Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to such Company Party all right, title, and interest,

including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. The Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product and copyrightable work to the board of managers of the Company
and perform all actions reasonably requested by such board of managers of the Company (whether during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company) to establish and confirm such Company Party’s ownership (including, without
limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, and other instruments). 
 (iii) The Executive understands that the Company Parties
and their respective affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the part of such Company Party and/or affiliate to maintain the confidentiality
of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Appendix A(a)(i) above, the Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose Third Party
Information to anyone (other than personnel, representatives and consultants of the Company Parties who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company Parties) or use, except in connection with the Executive’s work
for the Company Parties, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by the board of managers of the Company in writing. 
 (iv)
Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either
directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is
made under seal. Should Executive file a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court
proceeding, if Executive: (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 

(b) Return of Company Property. The Executive will deliver to the Company at the termination or expiration of his employment with the
Company, or at any other time the Company may request, all equipment, files, property, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts, Confidential Information, Work Product, software, documents and data (and all electronic,
paper or other copies thereof) belonging to any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates, which the Executive may then possess or have under the Executive’s control. 

(c) Nondisparagement. The Executive agrees that he will not at any time (whether during or after the Executive’s employment with
the Company) publish or communicate to any person or entity any Disparaging (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning any Company Party, or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents,
attorneys, successors or assigns. The Company agrees that it will not at any time (whether during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company) publish or communicate to any person or entity any Disparaging remarks, comments or
statements concerning Executive. “Disparaging” remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity or morality or business acumen or abilities in connection with any aspect of the operation of business
of the individual or entity being disparaged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be deemed a violation Section 1(c) if the Executive or the Company makes truthful statements (i) that are required by any applicable law or
(ii) in connection with any legal process.

 (d) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 
 (i) During the Employment Period and the applicable Post-Employment Restricted
Period (collectively, the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not engage or participate, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, executive, director, manager, officer, proprietor, joint venturer, trustee, employee,
employer, consultant, stockholder, equityholder, partner or in any other capacity whatsoever, in the conduct or management of, or fund, invest in, lend to, own any stock or any other equity or debt investment in, or provide any services of any
nature whatsoever to or in respect of, any business that is competitive with or in the same line of business as the Business (as hereinafter defined) within the Restricted Territory (as hereinafter defined), provided that nothing herein shall
prevent the Executive from making, or continuing any existing or future, passive investments of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded company. For purposes of this Appendix A: (A) “Business”
means all activities conducted or in planning by Company Parties or any of their subsidiaries during the Employment Period; and (B) “Restricted Territory” means the United States of America. 

(ii) During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Executive or for the benefit of any
Person other than any Company Party, (A) solicit, or assist any Person to solicit, any officer, director, manager, executive, employee or consultant of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates to leave his employment,
(B) hire or cause to be hired any Person who is then, or who will have been at any point in time during the Restricted Period, an officer, director, manager, executive, employee or consultant of any Company Party or any of their respective
affiliates, or (C) engage or cause to be engaged any Person who is then, or who will have been at any point in time during the Restricted Period, an officer, manager, director, executive, employee or consultant of any Company Party or any of
their respective affiliates as a partner, contractor, sub-contractor or consultant. 
 (iii) During the Restricted Period, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly (A) solicit, or assist any Person to solicit, any Person that is an existing or potential client, customer or supplier of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates, or has been a client, customer
or supplier of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates during the prior twelve (12) months, to provide any products and/or services competitive with those provided by any Company Party or (B) interfere with any of the
business relationships of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates with any potential client, customer or supplier or any client, customer, or suppler that has transacted business with the Company Party within the prior twelve
(12) months. Following the Employment Period, Executive agrees and covenants that Executive shall not use the trade secrets or Confidential Information of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates to directly or indirectly solicit
the clients, customers or suppliers of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates, or to interrupt, disturb or interfere with the relationships of any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates with their clients, customers or
suppliers, including potential client, customers and suppliers and those clients, customers and suppliers with whom the Company Party has transacted business within the prior twelve (12) months. For purposes of this paragraph, a “potential
client, customer or supplier” is one to whom a Company Party has made a proposal within the prior six (6) months to engage in business together. 

(e) The Executive acknowledges that the above covenants are manifestly reasonable on their face, and the parties expressly agree that such
restrictions are reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company Parties’ legitimate business interests and are a significant element of the consideration hereunder. 

(f) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Appendix A is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any
invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Appendix A shall be enforceable as so
modified to cover the maximum duration, scope or area permitted by law.

 (g) In order to assure the Company that the Company will retain the value of its operations,
the Executive covenants not to utilize the Executive’s special knowledge of such business operations and the Executive’s relationships with customers and suppliers to compete with any Company Party or any of their respective affiliates.
The Executive further acknowledges that: (A) the Executive is engaged in, is knowledgeable about, and provides services in connection with all aspects of the Business; (B) the agreements and covenants contained in this Appendix A are
reasonably necessary to protect the value and goodwill of the Business; and (C) the provisions contained in this Appendix A are integral to the transactions set forth in the Agreement to which this Appendix A is attached and that the Company
would not enter into such transactions without the protections afforded by this Appendix A. 
 (h) Remedies. This Appendix A shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the statutory and decisional law of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of laws. Executive consents and agrees that if he violates any covenants contained in this Appendix A, the Company would
sustain irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to it, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from committing or continuing any such violation of this Appendix A.
Nothing in this Appendix A shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedy or remedies including, without limitation, recovery of damages. Executive acknowledges that the Company Parties and their respective affiliates
are express third-party beneficiaries of this Appendix A and that they may enforce these rights and this Appendix A as third party beneficiaries. These restrictive covenants shall be construed as independent agreements, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated upon the Agreement to which this Appendix A is attached or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any restrictive covenant. The
failure of the Company to enforce the covenants of this Appendix A against any other employee shall not constitute a waiver or estoppel defense to the enforcement of the covenants of this Appendix A against Executive. In the event of the breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of this Appendix A, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other available rights and remedies, to withhold any or all of the amounts agreed to be paid to the Executive in the Agreement to which this
Appendix A is attached and the Company shall also be entitled to terminate his employment status and the provision of any benefits and compensation conditioned upon such status, but all of Executive’s obligations under the Agreement to which
this Appendix A is attached, and this Appendix A, shall continue in full force and effect. Executive shall not be entitled to any payments pursuant to the Agreement to which this Appendix A is attached during any period in which Executive is
violating any of his obligations under this Appendix A. The Company may assign the restrictive covenants set forth in this Appendix A in connection with the acquisition of all or a part of the assets of the Company or any other Company Party, and
any such assignee or successor shall be entitled to enforce the rights and remedies set forth in this Appendix A. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled on a day-for-day basis for all periods in which Executive is found to have violated the terms of this Appendix A so that the Company receives the full benefit of the Restricted Period to which Executive has
agreed. 
 (i) Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this Appendix A shall survive
the termination or cessation of the Agreement to which this Appendix A is attached or Executive’s employment in accordance with their terms, irrespective of the reason for such termination or cessation. Executive shall disclose the restrictions
set forth in this Appendix A to any subsequent employer or potential employer. 
 (j) Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any
dispute between the parties relating to this Appendix A should result in litigation, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of such prevailing party under or with respect
to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
