(b) The guaranties and obligations of the Guarantors

Guarantor be obligated to make payments to the Company with respect to this Limited Guaranty, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby that exceed such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Portion of an amount equal to $3,845,838, in the aggregate,
as such amount may be reduced by any payments made by any of Parent, Merger Sub, any Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates to the Company, its Affiliates, or its or their respective direct or indirect equityholders, in respect of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement (as it may be so reduced from time to time, the “Maximum Amount”); it being understood that this Limited Guaranty may not be
enforced against a Guarantor with respect to any amounts in excess of such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Portion of the Maximum Amount, in the aggregate. The Company hereby agrees that in no event shall the Guarantors be required to pay any amounts to the
Company or any other Person under, with respect to, or in connection with this Limited Guaranty or the Agreement, other than as expressly set forth herein. The term “Pro Rata Portion”
means (i) with respect to WndrCo Holdings, LLC, 64.83%; (ii) with respect to General Catalyst Group IX, L.P., 25.11%; (iii) with respect to GC Entrepreneurs Fund IX, L.P., 0.36%; and (iv) with respect to iSubscribed, Inc., 9.70%.

the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof limiting the Guarantors’ aggregate liability to the Maximum
Amount (or a Guarantor’s liability to that Guarantor’s Pro Rata Portion of the applicable Guarantied Obligations) or that any other provisions of this Limited Guaranty are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, or attesting any
theory of liability against any Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Guarantor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement other than (i) the several liability of the Guarantors under this Limited Guaranty (as limited by the
provisions of Article II), (ii) with respect to claims against Parent or Merger Sub, the liabilities for which recovery may be made under and in accordance with the Agreement, (iii) with respect to the
Parent and to the extent the Company is expressly entitled to enforce the Equity Commitment Letter delivered by WC SACD One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WC SACD One”)
to Parent as of the date hereof (the “Parent Equity Commitment Letter”) in accordance with the terms
thereof, the exercise of the third party beneficiary rights of the Company under and in accordance with the Parent Equity Commitment Letter, (iv) with respect to WC SACD One and to the extent the Company is expressly entitled to enforce the
Equity Commitment Letter delivered by the Guarantors to WC SACD One as of the date hereof (the “WC SACD One Equity Commitment Letter”), or (v) with respect to iSubscribed, Inc., in respect of liabilities for which recovery may be made under and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (the claims as described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this sentence, each a “Permitted Claim”), then (A) the
obligations of the Guarantors under this Limited Guaranty shall terminate ab initio
and shall thereupon be null and void, (B) if any Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Limited Guaranty, it shall promptly be repaid such payments from the Company, and (C) none of the Guarantors or any Non-Recourse Party (as defined below) shall have any liability to the Company, its Affiliates, or any of its or their
respective direct or indirect equityholders with respect to the Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or under this Limited Guaranty.
Section 2.2. Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing
guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, but only if
Parent has no liability or financial obligation to the Company that survives such termination (or, if it does, this Limited Guaranty shall terminate 12 months following such termination, unless prior to the date that is 12 months after such
termination a legal action for the Guarantors’ payment of the Guarantied Obligations is brought pursuant to and in accordance with this Limited Guaranty, in which case this Limited Guaranty shall terminate upon the final, non-appealable resolution
of such claim in a final judicial determination or by written agreement of the Company and the Guarantors and the satisfaction in full by the Guarantors of the amount of the Guarantied Obligations finally determined or agreed to be owed by the
Guarantors with respect to such claim); or (c) consummation of the Closing. Upon the termination of this Limited Guaranty pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, this Limited Guaranty shall automatically become void and no Guarantor shall
thereafter have any liability whatsoever arising hereunder. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that, subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Limited Guaranty shall be construed as an absolute, irrevocable, unconditional and
continuing guaranty of payment and shall be enforceable by the Company and its successors, transferees and assigns, subject to the terms set forth herein.

Section 2.3. Nature of Guaranty. A separate action or
separate actions under this Limited Guaranty may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor, whether or not any action is brought or prosecuted against Parent, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or whether Parent, any other Guarantor or
any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Any circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations applicable to Parent or the Company shall also operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantors.
Subject to Section 2.2, in the event that any payment to the Company in respect of the Guarantied Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason
whatsoever, each Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Portion of the Guarantied Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Limited Guaranty is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection.
Section 2.4. Waivers.
(a) Subject to Section 2.1(a), each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Company to proceed against Parent, any other Guarantor or any other Person liable on the Guarantied Obligations, or to pursue any
other remedy in the Company’s power whatsoever, and each Guarantor waives the right to have the proceeds of property of Parent or any other Person liable on the Guarantied Obligations first applied to the discharge of the Guarantied Obligations.
Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, all rights and benefits under any applicable Law purporting to reduce a guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the obligation of the principal. When making any demand on a
Guarantor hereunder against the Guarantied Obligations, the Company may, but subject to Section 2.1(a) shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Parent or
any other Guarantor, and any failure by the Company to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Parent or any other Guarantor shall not relieve such Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based upon
or arising by reason of: (i) any lack of authority of any officer, director or any other Person acting or purporting to act on behalf of Parent, or any defect in the formation of Parent; (ii) any act or omission by Parent which directly or
indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Parent or any Guarantied Obligations by operation of Law or otherwise; or (iii) any modification of the Guarantied Obligations, in any form whatsoever, including, without limitation, the renewal,
extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment or performance of the Guarantied Obligations, any waiver or modification of conditions precedent or any other change in the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, provided that neither the Maximum Amount nor the Pro Rata Portion is increased.
4
(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives all presentments,
demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Limited Guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional obligations. Each Guarantor
assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Parent and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance by Parent of the Guarantied Obligations which diligent
inquiry would reveal, represents that it has adequate means of obtaining such financial information from Parent on a continuing basis, and agrees that the Company shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding
such condition or any such circumstances. Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of any action taken or omitted by the Company in reliance hereon, any requirement that the Company be diligent and prompt in making demands hereunder, notice of any
waiver or amendment of any terms and conditions of the Agreement, notice of any default by Parent or the assertion of any right of the Company hereunder, and any right to plead or assert any election of remedies in any action to enforce this
Limited Guaranty with respect to its obligations hereunder.
Section 2.5. Bankruptcy Not Discharge. Subject to the
second sentence of Section 2.2, this Limited Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any or all of the Guarantied Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Company upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Parent. Notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of the Guarantied
Obligations or any amendment, waiver, modification, stay or cure of the Company’s rights which may occur in any bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding concerning Parent, whether permanent or temporary, and whether or not assented to by the
Company, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be obligated hereunder to pay and perform the Guarantied Obligations and discharge its other obligations in accordance with the terms of the Guarantied Obligations as set forth in this Limited
Guaranty in effect on the date hereof. Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that by virtue of this Limited Guaranty, it has specifically assumed any and all risks of a bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to Parent.
The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guarantied Obligations in the event that Parent becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect
the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.
Section 2.6. Guarantors’ Understandings With Respect To Waivers.
Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with such Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences and made after the opportunity to consult with counsel of its own choosing, and that under
the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to applicable Law or public policy. If any of said waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by Law.
5
Section 2.7. Covenants of the Company.
(a) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, directly or indirectly, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to institute, directly or indirectly, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising
under, or in connection with the Agreement or the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby (or the failure of such to be consummated), against the Guarantors or any Non-Recourse
Party, except for the Permitted Claims, and the Company hereby, on behalf of itself and its equityholders and its Affiliates, waives any and all claims arising under, or in
connection with, the Agreement or the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby against the Guarantors or any Non-Recourse Party and waives and releases such Persons from such claims, in each case, except for the Permitted Claims.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Limited Guaranty, the Company hereby agrees that, to the extent Parent is indefeasibly relieved in full of its payment obligations under the Agreement (other than due to a rejection of the Agreement in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency
of Parent), the Guarantors shall be similarly relieved of their obligations under this Limited Guaranty.
(c) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Limited Guaranty or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Limited Guaranty, the Company covenants, agrees
and acknowledges that no Person other than the Guarantors has any obligations hereunder. The Company further covenants, agrees and acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person (including, without limitation, the Company’s
equityholders and each of their Affiliates) has any right of recovery under this Limited Guaranty, the Agreement or the agreements and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any claim based on the obligations hereunder and thereunder
against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, direct or indirect Affiliates, members, managers or general or
limited partners of any of the Guarantors, Parent or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, general
or limited partner, member, manager, direct or indirect Affiliate (other than the Guarantors) or agent of any of the foregoing (collectively, but not including Parent or the
Guarantors, each a “Non-Recourse Party”), through Parent or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Parent against any
Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise.
(d) The Company covenants, agrees and acknowledges that the only rights of recovery that the Company has with respect to the Agreement or the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby are (i) its rights to recover from Parent
under the Agreement and from the Guarantors (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under this Limited Guaranty, in each case subject to the Maximum Amount and the other limitations described
herein and therein, (ii) the Company’s right to seek specific performance of the obligations of Parent under and to the extent expressly provided in the Parent Equity Commitment Letter and (iii) the Company’s right to seek specific performance of the obligations of WC SACD One under and to the extent expressly provided in the WC SACD One Equity Commitment Letter; provided, however, that in the event a Guarantor (1) consolidates with or merges with any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (2) transfers or
conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and other assets to any Person such that the sum of such Guarantor’s remaining net assets plus uncalled capital is less than such Guarantor’s applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Maximum
Amount, then, and in each such case, the Company may seek recourse, whether by enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any statue, regulation or other applicable Law, against such
continuing or surviving entity, but only to the extent of the Guarantor’s unpaid liability hereunder up to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Portion of the Maximum Amount.
6
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Limited Guaranty, the Company hereby agrees that the Guarantors may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any payment or performance by the Guarantors under this Limited
Guaranty, any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that Parent could assert against the Company under the terms of, or with respect to, the Agreement.
(f) The Company acknowledges and agrees that Parent has no assets other than certain contract rights and that no additional funds are expected to be contributed to Parent
unless and until the Closing occurs. Recourse against the Guarantors under and pursuant to the terms of this Limited Guaranty and the right to assert the other Permitted Claims shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Company’s equityholders and all of their respective Affiliates against the Guarantors and the Non-Recourse Parties with
respect to any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Limited Guaranty, the Agreement, the Parent Equity Commitment Letter, the WC SACD One Equity Commitment Letter and the agreements and transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including by piercing of the corporate veil or by asserting a claim by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any other Person seeking to compel performance of Parent’s financing. The Company hereby waives and releases every right of recovery against each Guarantor and each Non-Recourse Party under or in connection with or related to this Limited Guaranty, the Agreement, the Parent Equity
Commitment Letter, the WC SACD One Equity Commitment Letter and the agreements and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than the Permitted Claims, and hereby releases each Guarantor and each Non-Recourse Party from and with respect
to any claim, known or unknown, now existing or hereafter arising, in connection with this Limited Guaranty, the Agreement, the Parent Equity Commitment Letter, the WC SACD One Equity Commitment Letter or the transactions they contemplate, other
than the Permitted Claims. Nothing set forth in this Limited Guaranty shall confer or give or shall be construed to confer or give to any Person other than the Company, and its permitted successors, transferees or assigns (including any Person
acting in a representative capacity), any rights or remedies against any Person including the Guarantors, except as expressly set forth herein.
