Re: Employment with Cvent, Inc.

Dear Xxxxxx:

This is your employment agreement with Cvent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (as such company’s name may change from time to time and such company’s successors and assigns, the “Company”). It sets forth the terms of your continued employment by the Company, which shall be effective as of the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions (the “Transaction”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 17, 2016, by and among the Company, Xxxxx Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Xxxxx Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent on November 29, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). We are very excited about this opportunity and value the role that you will serve on our team going forward.

1. You will be the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, reporting to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). In this capacity, you will have the responsibilities and duties consistent with such position.

2. Effective as of March 1, 2017, your base salary will be $431,668.00 per year (the “Initial Base Salary”), less deductions and withholdings required by law or authorized by you, and thereafter will be subject to review annually for any increases or decreases; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of any decreases during the course of your employment hereunder shall not be greater than 10% of the Initial Base Salary, and any such decreases may only be implemented in conjunction with a general decrease affecting the executive management team. Your base salary will be paid by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices as in effect from time to time.

For the bonus period beginning on January 1, 2017, you will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Bonus”) with a target amount equal to $135,852.00. The Bonus will be awarded at the sole discretion of the Board, based upon the Board’s and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s mutual determination as to your achievement of predetermined thresholds, which may include management by objectives (“MBO”) targets and financial targets such as bookings, revenue, recurring revenue, gross profit and/or EBITDA targets. In addition, you may be eligible for an additional stretch bonus (the “Stretch Bonus”), awarded at the discretion of the Board and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, based on the Board’s and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s mutual determination as to your achievement of “stretch” targets.

With respect to bonus periods beginning on and after January 1, 2018, the bonus formulas, MBOs, performance milestones and all other elements of your bonus opportunities shall be established by the Board, in its sole discretion, and communicated in writing (including email) to you from time to time. Each annual bonus earned for a fiscal year shall be paid within 30 days after the Board has received, reviewed and approved the applicable fiscal year’s final audited financial statements. In any event, payment of any bonus that becomes due with respect to a fiscal year shall be paid in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends, subject, in each case, to your continued employment on the applicable payment date.

3. You will also be eligible to participate in health, dental and vision insurance plans and other employee benefit plans established by the Company or its affiliates for their employees from time to time, in accordance with the terms of such plans, so long as they remain generally available to such employees.

4. During your employment, your position shall be based in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Your duties may involve extensive domestic and international travel.

5. You received options (the “Options”) to purchase 35,757.00 shares of Xxxxx Topco, Inc. (“Topco”), which shall be issued under Topco’s 2017 Stock Option Plan (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Option Plan”) pursuant to an Option Grant Agreement entered into on or about May 26, 2017.

6. There are some formalities that you need to complete as a condition of your employment:

• You must carefully consider and sign the Company’s standard “Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, Non-Solicit, Non-Compete and Arbitration Agreement” (attached to this letter as Exhibit A). Because the Company and its affiliates are engaged in a continuous program of research, development, production and marketing in connection with their business, we wish to reiterate that it is critical for the Company and its affiliates to preserve and protect their proprietary information and their rights in inventions.

• So that the Company has proper records of inventions that may belong to you, we ask that you also complete Schedule 1 attached to Exhibit A.

• You and the Company mutually agree that any disputes that may arise regarding your employment will be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause set forth in Section 10 of Exhibit A. As a condition of your employment, you will need to carefully consider and voluntarily agree to the arbitration clause set forth in Section 10 of Exhibit A.

7. We also wish to remind you that, as a condition of your employment, you are expected to abide by the Company’s, its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ written policies and procedures, which may be amended from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion.

8. Your employment with the Company is at will. The Company may terminate your employment at any time with or without notice, and for any reason or no reason. You shall be entitled to terminate your employment with the Company at any time and for any reason or no reason by giving notice in writing to the Company of not less than eight (8) weeks (“Notice Period”), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by you and the Company. In the event of such notice, the Company reserves the right, in its discretion, to give immediate effect to your resignation in lieu of requiring or allowing you to continue to work throughout the Notice Period; provided that, you will receive a cash payment equal to the base salary you would have otherwise

Page 2 of 21

earned during the remaining portion of the Notice Period had the Company not given immediate effect to your resignation. You shall continue to be an employee of the Company during the Notice Period, and thus owe to the Company the same duty of loyalty you owed it prior to giving notice of your termination. The Company may, during the Notice Period, relieve you of all of your duties and prohibit you from entering the Company’s offices.

9. If the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you voluntarily terminate your employment for Good Reason, you will be entitled to receive (x) a severance payment equal to 12 months of your then applicable base salary, less deductions and withholdings required by law or authorized by you (the “Severance Pay”) (y) solely to the extent approved in writing by the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, a prorated portion of any bonus that you otherwise would have earned during the fiscal year in which such termination occurs had your employment continued and (z) reimbursement of any COBRA premiums you paid for continued health coverage during the 12 month period following the termination of your employment. For purposes of this section, “Cause” and “Good Reason” have the meaning set forth in Exhibit Il attached hereto. The Company will not be required to pay the Severance Pay unless (i) you execute and deliver to the Company an agreement (“Release Agreement”) in a form satisfactory to the Company releasing from all liability (other than the payments and benefits contemplated by this letter) the Company, each member and affiliate of the Company, and any of their respective past or present investors, members, officers, directors, managers, employees or agents, which Release Agreement will not contain any additional non-disparagement, non-solicitation or non-competition obligations, and you do not revoke such Release Agreement during any applicable revocation period, (ii) such Release Agreement is executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within 60 days following termination, and (iii) you continue to comply with the provisions of Sections 2 through 8 of Exhibit A, the terms of this letter and any restrictive covenant agreement between you and the Company and the provisions of the Release Agreement. The Severance Pay shall be paid in installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices at the time of termination, but no less frequently than monthly, starting on the sixtieth (60th) day following your termination of employment, provided you have executed, delivered, and not revoked the Release Agreement during such revocation period for the Release Agreement described above. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be required to mitigate the payments provided to you under this Section 9 by seeking other employment or engagement, nor shall, except as set forth in this Section 9, any amounts paid to you under this Section 9 be reduced by any other compensation earned by you.

10. You shall not make any statement that would libel, slander or disparage the Company, any member of the Company or its affiliates or any of their respective past or present officers, directors, managers, stockholders, employees or agents, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit you from (i) making truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings), (ii) making statements that you in good faith believe are necessary or appropriate to make in connection with performing your duties and obligations to the Company, (iii) engaging in concerted activity relative to the terms and conditions of your employment or (iv) in communications protected under the National Labor Relations Act, or from filing a charge or providing information to any governmental agency.

Page 3 of 21

11. While we look forward to a long and profitable relationship, you will be an at-will employee of the Company as described in Section 8 of this letter. Any statements or representations to the contrary (and, indeed, any statements contradicting any provision in this letter) are, and should be regarded by you, as ineffective. Further, your participation in any benefit program or other Company program, if any, is not to be regarded as assuring you of continuing employment for any particular period of time.

12. It should also be understood that all offers of employment are conditioned on the Company’s completion of a satisfactory background check. The Company reserves the right to perform background checks during the term of your employment, subject to compliance with applicable laws. You will be required to execute forms authorizing such a background check. In the event that the Company terminates your employment hereunder due to an unsatisfactory background check, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you will be entitled to the Severance Pay, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.

13. Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code

a In the event that any payment, coverage or benefit provided in respect of your employment with the Company and its affiliates, whether under this letter or otherwise and whether before or after termination of your employment (the “Payments”), would be subject to the Excise Tax (as defined below), but the imposition of the Excise Tax could be avoided by approval of shareholders described in Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then you may cause the Company or any applicable affiliate of the Company to seek such approval, in which case the Company and any such affiliate will use their reasonable best efforts to cause such approval to be obtained and you will cooperate and execute such waivers as may be necessary so that such approval avoids imposition of any Excise Tax.

b In the event that any Payment could reasonably be expected to be subject to the Excise Tax and either (i) you do not elect to cause the Company or any applicable affiliate to seek approval of shareholders described in Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code or (ii) such approval would not avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax, then the Company shall reduce (but not below zero) the aggregate present value of the Payments to the Reduced Amount (as defined below), if reducing the Payments will provide you with a greater net after-tax amount than would be the case if no such reduction was made. The Payments shall be reduced as described in the preceding sentence only if (a) the net amount of the Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and payroll taxes on the reduced Payments), is greater than or equal to (b) the net amount of the Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and payroll taxes on the Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which you would be subject with respect to the unreduced Payments). Any reduction shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

c For purposes of this Section 13, the term “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax, determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code, and the term “Excise Tax” means the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax.

Page 4 of 21

d All determinations to be made under this Section 13 shall be made by an independent registered public accounting firm or consulting firm selected by the Company and consented to by you immediately prior to a change in control, which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and you within 15 days prior to the change in control. All fees and expenses of the accounting or consulting firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section 12 shall be borne solely by the Company.

14. This letter along with its Exhibits and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this letter, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, including but not limited to employment agreements, severance agreements, and bonus agreements, whether oral or written, between or among you and the Company, Parent or any of their respective predecessors or affiliates with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. Waivers or modifications of this letter are valid only if in writing and duly executed by each of the parties hereto.

15. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this letter and the provisions of Exhibit A, the terms of this letter shall prevail.

16. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts otherwise payable hereunder any amounts required to be withheld in respect to federal, state or local taxes. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this letter be exempt from, or comply with, Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this letter 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 you by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. To the extent required by Code Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this letter 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 letter, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” For purposes of Code Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this letter shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this letter 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 you, (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. Notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary, if you are a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A and if payment of any amounts under this letter is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Code Section 409A, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by Code Section 409A, and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days after the end of the six-month period, or if earlier, upon your death.

During your employment with the Group and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, you will not directly or indirectly hire, attempt to hire, recruit, offer employment, lure or entice away, or in any other manner persuade or otherwise solicit anyone who is then an employee or consultant of the Group (or who was an employee or consultant of the Group within the six months preceding the date of any such prohibited conduct) to resign from the Group or to apply for or accept employment with, or otherwise provide services to, you or any third party, for your own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity.

7.2 Non-Solicitation of Customers. During your employment with the Company and for a period of two years (2) year thereafter, you will not, whether as an owner, employee, member, director, officer, trustee, agent, contractor, consultant or otherwise, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or accept from any Customer or Potential Customer (as defined below) any business involving the sale or provision of Restricted Products (as defined in section 7.3); (ii) request or advise any Customer of the Group to curtail, cancel, or withdraw its business from the Group; or (iii) aid in any way any other entity in obtaining business from any Customer or Potential Customer involving the sale or provision of Restricted Products (as defined in section 7.3). “Customer” means any person or entity who is or was, during the last 24 months of your employment with the Company (including any period of employment with any predecessor of the Company) either (a) a customer of the Company or (b) a customer of any Group company and, (c) with whom you dealt on behalf of the Company or a Group member or their predecessor; (d) whose dealings with the Company or a Group member or their predecessor were coordinated or supervised by you; (e) about whom you obtained Proprietary Information as a result of your association with the Company or a Group member or their predecessor; or (f) to whom you provided services on behalf of the Company or a Group member or their predecessor.

7.3 Non-Competition. During your employment with the Company and for a period of two (2) years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), you will not hold any position or role outside the Company or the Group, whether such position or role be an employee, officer, director, consultant, owner, manager, advisor, investor, or otherwise, through which you would, directly or indirectly, provide competing services with the business of the Group or that would enable you or another third party to unfairly compete with the business of the Group. By way of limitation to the foregoing, the following shall be considered competitive with the business of the Group: (i) the provision of services with respect to or the sale of Restricted Products, within 50 miles of any Group Customer, (ii) the provision of services with respect to or sale of Restricted Products within 50 miles of any Group Office or (iii) the research, development, manufacturing or distribution of Restricted Products that will be sold within 50 miles of any Group Customer or Group Office.

Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall prohibit you from owning of a passive investment interest of not more than 2.5% in a company with publicly traded equity securities, and whether on your own behalf or on behalf of others. You agree that the Restricted Period shall be extended by a period equal the length of any violation of this Section 7.3.

You agree to execute any authorization form as may be provided by Company to effectuate this provision.

9. AT WILL EMPLOYMENT.

This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment for any definite period of time. You acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement modifies the at-will nature of your employment with Company, which permits either yourself or Company to terminate your employment at any time and without cause.

10. ARBITRATION.

10.1 In the event of any controversy or dispute between you and the Company or between you and any affiliate or an agent of Company, including but not limited to directors, officers, managers, other employees or members of the Group, who are being sued in any capacity, as to all or any part of this Agreement, any other agreement, any dispute or controversy whatsoever pertaining to or arising out of the relationship between you and the Company and/or the Group or the dissolution or termination of same, and/or the arbitrability thereof (collectively, “Arbitrable Disputes” as further defined

below) shall, subject to Section 11.1 herein, be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration solely between yourself and the Company and/or person or entity described above, conducted in Washington, D.C. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq, as amended, and shall be administered in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Dispute Resolution Addendum appended hereto as Schedule 2 (the “Addendum”), all of which are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.

10.2 Arbitrable Disputes shall include any and all disputes not specifically exempted from arbitration herein, including, but not limited to, any alleged violations of federal, state or local constitutions, statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations or common law, any claims of wrongful termination, unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation, including but not limited to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, The Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and similar state and local statutes, any claims of breach of contract or any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, any claims of adverse treatment in violation of public policy, and any disputes arising from, under or regarding this Agreement, including the formation, validity, interpretation, effect or breach of the Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, all disputes regarding the validity of this Agreement, the validity of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, or whether any particular claim or matter is included within the scope of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, are Arbitrable Disputes subject to arbitration as described herein.

Specifically excluded from Arbitrable Disputes are disputes or claims arising from or related to workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance, and any claims which are expressly excluded from binding arbitration by statute or public policy, or which are expressly required to be arbitrated under a different procedure.

10.3 While you are not required to do so before serving an arbitration demand under Section (g) of the Addendum, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent you from filing or maintaining an administrative charge or complaint with a government agency, including but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board or any equivalent state or local agency. For the avoidance of doubt, if you choose not to file an administrative charge or complaint before commencing an arbitration in accordance with this Section 10 and the Addendum, your arbitration demand must be served, subject to Section 10.5, within the applicable time period for filing a charge with the relevant agency in order to be timely filed.

10.4 This binding arbitration procedure shall supplant and replace claims in court (except as specified herein), and you expressly waive the right to a civil court action before a jury.

10.5 In accordance with Section (g) of the Addendum and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any arbitration relating to or arising from any Arbitrable Dispute shall be commenced by service of an arbitration demand on or before the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the limitations period provided by applicable law; or (ii) the one-year anniversary of the accrual of the aggrieved party’s claim.

10.6 All Arbitrable Disputes under this Agreement must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative or collective proceeding. You agree that the arbitrator is not empowered to consolidate claims of different individuals into one proceeding, or to hear an arbitration as a class arbitration. To the extent the arbitrator determines that this class/collective action waiver is invalid, for any reason, this entire Section 10 shall be null and void but only with regard to that particular proceeding in which the arbitrator invalidated this class/collective action waiver and this Section 10 shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any Arbitrable Disputes other than that covered by such class/collective action proceeding.

10.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the waiver of the jury trial right shall survive even in the event this Section 10 is deemed null and void.

11. GENERAL

11.1 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions in Section 10 or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, you and the Company understand and agree that the parties’ actions or potential actions concerning obligations under Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7 of this Agreement may result in irreparable and continuing damage to the other party for which monetary damages will not be sufficient, and agree that both parties will be entitled to seek, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and both before or while an arbitration is pending between the parties under Section 10 of this Agreement, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or similar injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending the full and final resolution of the dispute through arbitration, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned injunctive relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief through arbitration proceedings. This Section shall not be construed to limit the obligation for either party to pursue arbitration under Section 10 with respect to any Arbitrable Disputes.

11.2 Waiver of Breach. The failure of Company at any time, or from time to time, to require performance of any of your obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of and shall in no manner affect Company’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement at a subsequent time. The waiver by Company of any rights arising out of any breach shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights arising out of any subsequent breach.

11.3 Non Disparagement, During and after your employment with the Company, except to the extent compelled or required by law, you agree you shall not disparage the Group, its customers and suppliers or their respective officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, shareholders, successors or assigns or their respective products or services, in any manner (including but not limited to, verbally or via hard copy, websites, blogs, social media forums or any other medium); provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent you from: engaging in concerted activity relative to the terms and conditions of your employment and in communications protected under the National Labor Relations Act, filing a charge or providing information to any governmental agency, or from providing information in response to a subpoena or other enforceable legal process or as otherwise required by law.

11.4 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Virginia, irrespective of its choice of law rules.

11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement along with Schedules 1 and 2 and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not supplant any rights the Group may have under the common law or by statute. Additionally, and notwithstanding the above language of this Section 11.6, you acknowledge and agree that the restrictive covenants you executed in favor of Cvent, Inc. (the “Prior Agreement”) shall remain in full force and effect; however, in the event of any inconsistency between the Prior Agreement and this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and its attachments shall govern.] If any of Section 7 of this Agreement is deemed void, voidable, or otherwise invalid in legal proceedings, you agree that you shall comply with, and the Company may seek to enforce such provisions of the Prior Agreement against you. Headings are provided for convenience only and do not modify, broaden, define or restrict any provision. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the parties.

11.6 Survival. Any termination of this Agreement, regardless of how such termination may occur, shall not operate to terminate Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 which shall survive any such termination and remain valid, enforceable and in full force and effect.
