1201 Pennsylvania Ave NW, 6th Floor

Washington, DC 20004

Re: Release of TIMEBASE PTY. LTD. (ACN 064 360 658) (“Released Guarantor”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Amendment No. 6 to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2025 (“Amendment”) amending that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and among FiscalNote, Inc., a Delaware corporation, certain other Persons party thereto as borrowers or guarantors from time to time, the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, “Lenders”, and each, a “Lender”), Runway Growth Finance Corp., as administrative agent and collateral agent for Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors, “Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this release letter shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Amendment or Agreement, as applicable.

Required Lenders consented to the TimeBase Sale subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment. Upon Agent’s confirmation of receipt by Agent and Lenders the payment of the amounts as set forth on Schedule IA and Schedule IB hereto (such amount, the “TimeBase Prepayment Amount” and the time of such confirmation, the “TimeBase Prepayment Effective Time”), pursuant to the Amendment: (i) Released Guarantor shall be automatically released as Guarantor; (ii) any security interest granted by Released Guarantor or in Equity Interests of the Released Guarantor in connection with the Agreement shall be automatically released and terminated, including the General Security Deed dated 1 December 2023 between Released Grantor (as grantor) and the Agent (as secured party) and the Specific Security Deed dated 1 December 2023 between FiscalNote, Inc. (as grantor) and the Agent (as secured party) (“Australian Security Documents”); and (iii) the Collateral (as defined in the Australian Security Documents) is released from any security interest granted under those documents and where applicable, reassigned and retransferred to Released Grantor. Agent shall, at the written request of Released Guarantor, deliver any evidence with respect to such release as Released Guarantor may reasonably require. Within ten (10) Business Days of the TimeBase Prepayment Effective Time, the Agent must register financing change statements on the Australian Personal Property Securities Register (or equivalent in any other relevant jurisdiction) to end all registrations relating to the security interests released by this letter, including those registered by the Agent against FiscalNote, Inc. and Released Grantor on the Australian Personal Property Securities Register with Registration Numbers 202311280063147, 202312010020502, and 202312010022218. The Agent also agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and do all such acts as FiscalNote, Inc. or Released Guarantor may reasonably require to effect, evidence or confirm the release and termination of any security interest or security agreement contemplated by this letter.

To the extent that any portion of the TimeBase Prepayment Amount received by Agent or any Lender is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, debtor-in-possession or any other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, state, provincial, municipal or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent that the payment or proceeds is rescinded or must otherwise be restored, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, the Obligations or part thereof which were intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue to be in full force and effect, as if the affected payment or proceeds had never been received, and the claims of Agent and Lenders with respect to the revived Obligations shall remain intact. Released Guarantor acknowledges that the amounts referred to above are enforceable obligations of Borrowers owed pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and confirms its agreement to the terms and provisions of this letter by returning to Agent a signed counterpart of this letter. The Released Guarantor hereby releases, discharges and acquits Agent, Lenders and each of its respective officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees and its successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), from all obligations to such Released Guarantor (and each of its respective successors and assigns) and from any and all claims, demands, debts, accounts, contracts, liabilities, actions and causes of actions, whether in law

or in equity, arising out of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby on or prior to the TimeBase Prepayment Effective Time that such Released Guarantor at any time had or has, or that each of its respective successors and assigns hereafter can or may have against Agent, any Lender or each of its respective officers, directors, agents, attorneys or employees and its successors and assigns (each, a “Claim”); provided, however, that such release, discharge and acquittal shall not extend to any Claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Released Parties.

This document may be disclosed to and relied upon by any person who has (or proposes to take) an interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Australian Security Documents).

This letter is governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law provided that, to the extent that any provision of this document is required to be governed by the law in New South Wales to enable the release or discharge contemplated herein to be effective in all respects, that provision will be taken to be governed by the law in New South Wales as well as the law in New York. This letter may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy or “pdf” via electronic mail shall be as effective as an original.
