(f) Section 7(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Depository Relationship. At all times during the term of the Loan, the Borrower shall
maintain with Lender (i) its primary depository account(s), including its primary Operating Account(s), and (ii) its primary Treasury Management Services. As used herein, “Operating Account(s)” shall mean bank accounts that facilitate the
collection of sales, including accounts receivable, and the payment of expenses and payroll disbursements; and “Treasury Management Services” shall mean commercial banking platforms that facilitate the origination of wire transfers and ACH

deposit at any given time in all accounts of the Loan Parties maintained with any other bank or financial institution that are subject to a deposit account control agreement (or similar agreement) in favor of Lender (collectively, the “Related Accounts”). To the extent such Related Accounts are included in the calculation of the Minimum Deposit Relationship, Lender may exercise its right of setoff against any such Related
Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Minimum Deposit Relationship is not satisfied in accordance with the foregoing for any test date with respect to any month ending on or prior to March 31, 2024, Borrower shall have until April 30,
2024 (or such longer period as Lender may agree in writing (including by e-mail)) to obtain or provide additional funds such that the aggregate deposit ledger balance of the Loan Parties with the Lender together with funds in all other Related
Accounts equals or exceeds $3,000,000 (or such greater amount agreed to by the Lender and the Borrower pursuant to Section 4(j)(ii)) (the “Liquidity Cure”) and if Borrower completes such
Liquidity Cure no default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder with respect to such failure to satisfy the Minimum Deposit Relationship.”

interest over the ERTC Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the New Main Street Subordination Agreement, (b) consents to the EW Notes Transaction and the terms of the EW Notes Documents and, (c) acknowledges and agrees that
upon deposit of the net proceeds from the sale of the EW Notes pursuant to the EW Notes Transaction in a bank account of the Loan Parties maintained with the Lender, the Minimum Deposit Relationship obligations set forth in Section 7(a) of the
