THIS EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 8, 2022 (the “Execution Date”), by and among ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”); SemanticBits, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Company”); Ramprakash Chilukuri, individually and Vinay Kumar, individually (collectively, the “Sellers”; and each, a “Seller”); and Ramprakash Chilukuri, in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company (the “Interests”);

WHEREAS, the Sellers desire to sell and convey all of the Interests to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase the Interests from the Sellers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, on or prior to the Execution Date, all of the Key Employees (including Ramprakash Chilukuri) have executed and delivered to the Purchaser Offer Letters, ICF Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements, ICF Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Acknowledgement Forms, ICF Conflict of Interest Statements, and ICF Treatment of Confidential Information From Prior Employment Acknowledgements and Confidentiality Agreements, in each case, to become effective upon Closing (collectively, in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-5, respectively (the “Employment Documentation”).

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE PRICE; CLOSING.

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Interests; Payment of Closing Purchase Price. At the Closing and upon all of the terms and subject to all of the conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers will sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase and accept from the Sellers, the Interests. At the Closing, in full payment for the Interests, the Purchaser will pay:

(a) the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness, if any, to the Persons and in the amounts set forth in the Flow of Funds Memorandum;

(b) the amount of the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, if any, to the Persons and in the amounts set forth in the Flow of Funds Memorandum;

-1-

(c) the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, Indemnity Escrow Amount and Retention Escrow Amount to escrow accounts (respectively, the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account,” “Indemnity Escrow Account,” and the “Retention Escrow Account” established by the Purchaser and the Sellers with Citizens Bank, N.A. the (“Escrow Agent”), to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”);

(d) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to be held by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with his duties hereunder (the “Representative Fund”); and

(e) to the Sellers based on their Ownership Percentages, Two Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($220,000,000) (“Base Purchase Price”), as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (the “Closing Purchase Price”), minus the amounts paid pursuant to Section 1.1(a) through Section 1.1(d) (without duplication of the adjustment to the Base Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3(a)) (such amount payable to the Sellers, the “Seller Closing Proceeds”). The Closing Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(b), is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.”

At the Company’s request, one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deposit with the Company or, if designated by the Company, the Company’s payroll provider, that portion of the Employee Retention Awards that are to be paid at Closing pursuant to the Employee Retention Award Agreements (which estimated amount is set forth in Schedule 5.15 to this Agreement). The amount so funded by the Purchaser will reduce the Seller Closing Proceeds on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In the event that the Closing does not occur on the next Business Day following the Purchaser’s funding such portion of the Employee Retention Awards, the Sellers shall cause the Company to immediately refund such amount to the Purchaser.

1.2 Flow of Funds Memorandum. Not later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a flow of funds memorandum containing the Company’s good faith estimate (including all calculations in reasonable detail) of: (a) the Estimated Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.3(a); (b) the amount of Indebtedness that will be outstanding as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) in accordance with Section 1.3(a), together with an itemization of the Persons and amounts to whom such Estimated Indebtedness is payable; (c) the amount of unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”) in accordance with Section 1.3(a), together with an itemization of the Persons and amounts to whom such unpaid Company Transaction Expenses are payable; (d) the amount of Cash as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Cash”) in accordance with Section 1.3(a); and (e) the Seller Closing Proceeds payable to the Sellers (such statement, the “Flow of Funds Memorandum”). The Company shall include with the Flow of Funds Memorandum its estimate of the Last Three Months Annualized Revenue (“Estimated Last Three Months Annualized Revenue”) and, based on such Estimated Last Three Months Annualized Revenue, the Company’s estimated NWC Lower Collar Target (the “Estimated NWC Lower Collar Target”) and the Company’s estimated NWC Upper Collar Target (the “Estimated NWC Lower Collar Target”). These calculations will be used in connection with the payments described in Section 1.1. The Flow of Funds Memorandum also will contain wire instructions for all of the foregoing payments.

1.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Preliminary Purchase Price Adjustment. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(a), shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser an estimated balance sheet for the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), which Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall include an estimation of (i) the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Effective Time (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) and, if the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated NWC Lower Collar Target, the amount of such deficiency (the “Estimated Working Capital Deficit”) and, if the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated NWC Upper Collar Target, the amount of such excess (the “Estimated Working Capital Excess”); (ii) the Estimated Cash; (iii) the Estimated Indebtedness; and (iv) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses (including itemization of the Persons and amounts to whom such Estimated Company Transaction Expenses are payable). The Sellers’ Representative shall provide the Purchaser with reasonable access to the Company and relevant financial personnel in order to allow the Purchaser to review the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Sellers’ Representative will consider, in good faith, any comments made by the Purchaser to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The Company shall prepare the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Net Working Capital in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Net Working Capital Principles. The Base Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows: (1) the Base Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Cash; (2) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Indebtedness; (3) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses (and increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of any Tail Policy or Cyber Liability Policy expenses paid by the Company prior to the Closing that are the responsibility of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9(a) and Section 5.17, respectively); and (4) (i) the Base Purchase Price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Excess, or (ii) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Deficit. The Closing Purchase Price will thereafter be subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 1.3(b). For the avoidance of doubt, no item shall be double counted in the calculation of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses and there shall be no adjustment at Closing under Section 1.3(a)(iv) to Base Purchase Price if the Estimated Net Working Capital is (A) equal to or greater than the Estimated NWC Lower Collar Target and (B) equal to or less than the Estimated NWC Upper Collar Target.

(b) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Delivery of Closing Statement.

-3-

(A) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will, in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(b), prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (i) its good faith calculation of: (1) final Last Three Months Annualized Revenue (“Final Last Three Months Annualized Revenue”) and, based on that, the final NWC Lower Collar Target (the “Final NWC Lower Collar Target”) and the final NWC Upper Collar Target (the “Final NWC Upper Collar Target”), showing in reasonable detail any differences between the Purchaser’s proposed calculations thereof and the Estimated Last Three Months Annualized Revenue, the Estimated NWC Lower Collar Target and the Estimated NWC Upper Collar Target; (2) Final Net Working Capital (including components thereof) of the Company as of the Effective Time, including the Purchaser’s reasonably detailed calculations of Final Net Working Capital (including components thereof), showing in reasonable detail any differences between the Purchaser’s proposed calculation of Final Net Working Capital (including components thereof) and Estimated Net Working Capital (including components thereof), together with documentation supporting the Purchaser’s calculation of Final Net Working Capital (including components thereof) and, if the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Final NWC Upper Collar Target, the amount of such excess (the “Final Net Working Capital Excess”) or, if the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Final NWC Lower Collar Target, the amount of such deficiency (the “Final Net Working Capital Deficit”), (3) Cash as of the Effective Time, (4) Indebtedness as of the Effective Time, and (5) unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time, and (ii) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and, together with the information required under Section 1.3(b)(i)(A)(i), the “Final Closing Statement”). Calculation of the Final Last Three Months Annualized Revenue, Final Net Working Capital (including components thereof), the Final NWC Lower Collar Target, the Final NWC Upper Collar Target, Cash, Indebtedness, unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be in a manner consistent with the Net Working Capital Principles. If the Purchaser fails to deliver the Final Closing Statement or the Final Closing Balance Sheet to the Sellers’ Representative within the ninety (90) day period specified in Section 1.3(b)(i)(A), the Sellers’ Representative may deliver written notice to the Purchaser identifying such failure and if the Purchaser fails to deliver the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Balance Sheet to the Sellers’ Representative within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, then at the sole election and discretion of the Sellers’ Representative, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Estimated Purchase Price Components as final.

(B) The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and Final Net Working Capital, Final Last Three Months Annualized Revenue, Final Cash, Final Company Transaction Expenses and Final Indebtedness shall be determined, in accordance with this Agreement, including the Net Working Capital Principles and definitions of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness, and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Closing Statement, the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Final Net Working Capital (including the Final Net Working Capital Excess or the Final Net Working Capital Deficit, if any), Cash, Indebtedness and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses reflected therein shall (1) exclude the impact of any decisions made or actions taken or omitted by the Purchaser or the Company following the Closing, and (2) not reflect changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or reflect any events, conditions or circumstances that arise as a result of the change of control or ownership of the Company contemplated by this Agreement.

-4-

(ii) Review of Final Closing Statement; Objection.

(A) The Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Final Closing Statement and such requested information as further specified herein to review the computations reflected on the Final Closing Statement (which requests for information may be made by the Sellers’ Representative via email). In connection with such review, the Purchaser will make available to the Sellers’ Representative and his advisors all records and work papers relating to the Company and the Purchaser’s calculations set forth in the Final Closing Statement that the Sellers’ Representative and his advisors reasonably request in reviewing the Final Closing Statement, and the Purchaser will make available to the Sellers’ Representative and his advisors the personnel and other advisors of Purchaser involved in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement.

(B) If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with the Purchaser’s Final Closing Statement, then the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver written notice (an “Objection Notice”) of such disagreement to Purchaser on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement and all information subsequently requested by the Sellers’ Representative as specified above in Section 1.3(b)(ii)(A). If the Sellers’ Representative timely delivered an Objection Notice to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative will endeavor to resolve any disagreements noted in the Objection Notice in good faith as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of such notice, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has received the Objection Notice, unless mutually extended by the parties in writing, then either the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative may thereafter commence the process to jointly retain the Firm and each party must proceed with the Dispute Resolution Procedure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) Final and Binding Determination. The Final Closing Balance Sheet, Cash, Indebtedness, unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital and Final Net Working Capital Excess or Final Net Working Capital Deficit, as of the Effective Time, as agreed to by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, or as determined by the Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”, the “Final Net Working Capital”, the “Final Net Working Capital Excess”, the “Final Net Working Capital Deficit”, “Final Cash”, “Final Company Transaction Expenses,” and “Final Indebtedness” for all purposes herein.

-5-

(iv) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. Upon completion of the calculation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Company Transaction Expenses, and Final Net Working Capital (including the Final Net Working Capital Excess or the Final Net Working Capital Deficit, if any) in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(iii), the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted dollar-for-dollar as follows:

(A) The Final Net Working Capital amount determined in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(iii) will be used to calculate any post-Closing adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price with respect to Net Working Capital, as follows:

(1) if Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Final NWC Upper Collar Target, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be (A) increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such excess, (B) reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Excess, if any, and (C) increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Deficit, if any; or

(2) if Final Net Working Capital is less than the Final NWC Lower Collar Target, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be (A) reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such deficiency, (B) reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Excess, if any, and (C) increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Deficit, if any; or

(3) if Final Net Working Capital is greater than or equal to the Final NWC Lower Collar Target and less than or equal to the Final NWC Upper Collar Target, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be (A) reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Excess, if any, and (B) increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital Deficit, if any.

(B) The Closing Purchase Price, without duplication of (A), shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Final Cash exceeds the Estimated Cash or decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Estimated Cash exceeds the Final Cash.

-6-

(C) The Closing Purchase Price shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Estimated Indebtedness exceeds the Final Indebtedness, or decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Final Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Indebtedness.

(D) The Closing Purchase Price shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Company Transaction Expenses exceeds the Final Company Transaction Expenses, or decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Final Company Transaction Expenses exceeds the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses.

(v) Payment. Any payment owed pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(v) (such payment, the “Purchase Price Adjustment”) will be paid within five (5) Business Days after the Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Company Transaction Expenses and Final Indebtedness are agreed to pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(iii), in accordance with this Section 1.3(b)(v).

(A) If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Purchase Price, then (1) the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers, on a pro rata basis, based on their respective Ownership Percentages an amount equal to the positive difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds (pursuant to the Sellers’ wire instructions in the Flow of Funds Memorandum); and (2) the parties jointly shall instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Sellers’ Representative.

(B) If the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, then (1) the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative jointly shall instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to pay from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account an amount equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment to an account designated by the Purchaser and (2) where the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, the difference shall be paid to the Purchaser from the Sellers, on a pro rata basis, based on the Sellers’ respective Ownership Percentages by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser.Where the Purchase Price Adjustment is lower than the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative jointly shall instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to pay to the Sellers’ Representative the funds remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account after payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(v)(B).

(C) To the extent permitted by Law, any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(v) shall constitute an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the parties on their Tax Returns and in any communications with any Taxing Authorities.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.4, respectively, asserted in good faith in accordance with this Section 9 with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party in accordance with Section 9.6 prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of the expiration of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.

(c) None of the covenants that by their terms were to be performed prior to the Closing will survive the Effective Time. The covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing, and the indemnification obligations of the parties with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing to the extent provided in their respective terms, or if no term is specified, until the applicable statute of limitations. The indemnification obligations with respect to the matters in Sections 9.2(a)(iv) though (vii) and Sections 9.4(c) and (d), shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the subject matter of such representation or warranty.

9.2 Sellers’ Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend the Purchaser, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” and each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) against and from all Damages suffered, sustained or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, whether in respect of third-party claims or claims between the parties relating to, as a result of, or arising out of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by the Company or Sellers to the Purchaser under Section 2 or Section 3 (other than Fundamental Seller Representations) or by the Company or Sellers in any certificate delivered by the Company or Sellers at Closing pursuant to Section 7.1;

-67-

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Seller Representations;

(iii) any breach by the Sellers of, or failure by the Sellers to comply with, any covenant or obligation under this Agreement to be performed by Sellers following the Closing;

(iv) any Pre-Closing Taxes;

(v) any Fraud of the Sellers;

(vi) any unpaid Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses;

(vii) any rate or other similar adjustments, including any cost disallowances and related assessed damages and penalties under the applicable Government Contract, that result in any Damages to the Company with respect to any audit of a Government Contract related to (1) any period ending on or before the Closing or (2) any periods beginning before, but ending after, the Closing to the extent any adjustments relate to the portion of such period prior to Closing; and

(viii) the matters identified on Schedule 9.2(a)(viii) attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, in each case, solely for purposes of Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(ii), each representation and warranty in this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained in such representation or warranty) which has the effect of making such representation and warranty less likely to be breached (as if such words or words were deleted from such representation or warranty; except, however, the foregoing proviso shall not apply to the defined terms “Material Contracts,” “Material Customers” or “Material Suppliers” and shall not apply to Section 3.30. For the avoidance of doubt, the materiality scrape in this Section 9.2(b) does not except out materiality as an element of Fraud, nor does it except out any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” or “material” or any similar qualification from any representation and warranty for purposes of determining Fraud.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any indemnity claim brought hereunder, Kumar shall only be liable for his pro rata share of such liability based on his Ownership Percentage.

-68-

9.3 Limitation on Sellers’ Indemnification Obligations. Sellers’ obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Other than for Damages resulting from claims brought on the basis of Fraud, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Damages which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds an aggregate amount equal to Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($825,000) (the “Threshold”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only such Damages in excess of the Threshold.

(b) Other than for Damages resulting from claims brought on the basis of Fraud, the aggregate amount of indemnification that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may receive to satisfy claims under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($825,000) (the “Cap”).

(c) The aggregate liability of each Seller pursuant to Section 9.2 shall in no event exceed the amount of the cash proceeds actually received by such Seller under this Agreement, provided that:

(i) the aggregate liability of the Sellers under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be as set forth in Sections 9.3(a) and (b); and

(ii) the aggregate liability of the Sellers related to any S Corp Matter shall in no event exceed the greater of (1) the aggregate amount of the Seller S Corp Tax Refunds, and (2) the amount that represents the lesser of (A) fifty percent (50%) of the Damages for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) with respect to such Damages, and (B) the Backstop Cap. The “Backstop Cap” means Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) minus the aggregate amount of all Seller S Corp Tax Refunds received by the Purchaser.

(d)

(i) Damages for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) (other than the Damages described in Section 9.3(d)(ii)), shall be paid (A) first from any then-remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, (B) second, from the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent of the coverage limits under the R&W Insurance Policy (if applicable), and (C) third, from the Sellers (in each case subject to the limitations in this Section 9).

(ii) Damages for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) related to an S Corp Matter including, but not limited to, as a result of a Pre-Closing S Corp Matter shall be paid (A) first, [***], (B) second, from any then-remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, (C) third, from the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent of the coverage limits under the R&W Insurance Policy (if applicable), and (D) fourth, from the Sellers to the extent the Sellers have received a Seller S Corp Tax Refund that has not yet been paid to the Purchaser, and (E) fifth, from the Sellers (in each case subject to the limitations in Section 9).

-69-

(iii) For the sake of clarity, to the extent any facts giving rise to any indemnifiable Damages constitute a breach of a representation or warranty or a Pre-Closing Tax, and except in the case of Fraud, to the extent that such Damages are covered under the R&W Insurance Policy [***], as the case may be, and [***], respectively, has not been exhausted, the Purchaser shall first be required to use Reasonable Best Efforts to recover from and exhaust the R&W Insurance Policy [***], respectively, before seeking recovery directly from the Sellers under Section 9.3(d)(i)(C) or Section 9.3(d)(ii)(D) or Section 9.3(d)(ii)(E), above. In addition, the Sellers shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Damages under Section 9.2(a) to the extent that coverage for such Damages would otherwise have been available under the R&W Insurance Policy [***], but the amount of such coverage was reduced by an “Offsetting Benefit” (as defined in the R&W Insurance Policy [***]).

(iv) For avoidance of doubt, to the extent Sellers have made any payment potentially subject to limitation by the Backstop Cap and a Purchaser Indemnified Party later becomes entitled to receive any Seller S Corp Tax Refunds from the Sellers that was not taken into account in determining the Backstop Cap (a “Later Seller S Corp Tax Refund”), the amount of any such Later Seller S Corp Tax Refund payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be reduced to the extent any amounts previously paid by Sellers exceed the amount of the Backstop Cap as adjusted to take into account such Later Seller S Corp Tax Refunds. In the event that Sellers are required to repay any portion of any Seller S Corp Tax Refund (including any Later Seller S Corp Tax Refund) pursuant to a final determination of a Governmental Authority to the extent related to an S Corp Matter, Purchaser shall refund to Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers the difference between (i) the amounts paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.3(c)(ii), and (ii) the amount that should have been paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.3(c)(ii) determined without regard to such Seller S Corp Tax Refunds so repaid.

(e) Any indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be net of any Tax Benefit realized by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. In the event that a Tax Benefit is received by any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any Damages for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has been indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, the aggregate amount of such Tax Benefit so received by such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be promptly paid to the Indemnitor. As used herein, “Tax Benefit” shall mean the actual cash Tax savings (including any refund received or any offset against Taxes payable) attributable to any deduction, expense, loss, credit or actual cash refund to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Company or their Affiliates, when incurred or received (with such Tax items treated as the last item realized for such year), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Tax Benefit.

-70-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages related to or arising from any of the following: (i) Transfer Taxes described in Section 10.3(g) for which the Purchaser is responsible under the terms of Section 10.3(g), (ii) any Current Non-Income Taxes or any amount of other Taxes specifically taken into account in determining Final Purchase Price, (iii) any Taxes arising in connection with any transaction or event occurring after the Closing outside of the ordinary course of business, (iv) any breach or nonperformance by Purchaser of the covenants set forth in Section 10.3(f), (v) the value or condition of any Tax asset of the Company, (vi) the ability of the Purchaser, the Company of any of their Affiliates to utilize any Tax asset of the Company following the Closing, (vii) the Company’s loss of Preferred Bidder Status in connection with Contracts entered into during the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent Purchaser has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve such status (in connection with a Pre-Closing S Corp Matter or otherwise and including by not electing to take any positive Section 481(a) adjustment into account ratable over the longest period of years allowable (it being understood that this clause (vii) will not affect the Sellers’ obligations to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Purchaser for Tax arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as the result of any such positive Section 481(a) adjustment made with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period)), or (viii) issues related to the Company’s employer identification number or the circumstances set forth in Section 3.7(h) of the Disclosure Schedule (provided, however, that in connection with this clause (viii), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages for (A) any breach of Section 3.7(h) or (B) Pre-Closing Taxes (1) pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iv) and (2) related to or arising out of any breach by Sellers of their representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.16).

9.4 Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations

. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Purchaser shall indemnify and defend the Sellers, or their respective Affiliates and each of their respective members, officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) against and from all Damages suffered, sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party, whether in respect of third party claims or claims between the parties hereto relating to, as a result of or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by Purchaser to Sellers herein (other than Fundamental Purchaser Representations), or by the Purchaser in any certificate delivered by the Purchaser at Closing pursuant to Section 7.2;

(b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Purchaser Representations;

-71-

(d) any breach by the Purchaser or the Company (after the Closing) of, or failure by the Purchaser or the Company to comply with, any covenant or obligation under this Agreement to be performed by the Purchaser or the Company.

9.5 Limitation on Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations. The Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.4(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Other than for Damages resulting from claims brought on the basis of Fraud or breaches of Fundamental Purchaser Representations, the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Section 9.4(a) until the total amount of Damages which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.4(a) exceeds an aggregate amount equal to the Threshold, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Damages in excess of the Threshold.

(b) Other than for Damages resulting from claims brought on the basis of Fraud, the aggregate amount of indemnification that the Seller Indemnified Parties may receive to satisfy claims under Section 9.4(a) shall be the Cap.

9.6 Notice and Procedure.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings are instituted by a third party or any claim or demand is asserted or threatened against or sought to be collected from a Person who is seeking indemnity under any provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party, in each case for which the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnitor”) may have liability to any Indemnitee hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall, promptly following such Indemnitee’s receipt of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give a timely Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder only if and to the extent that such failure has a materially prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third Party Claim or the Indemnitor is otherwise materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnitee that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that in such notice the Indemnitor must agree to indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any and all Damages the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations of this Section 9). The Claim Notice shall include copies of any demand, complaint and other material correspondence and documents served on or received by the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim and shall specify, in reasonable detail, the nature of such Third Party Claim.

-72-

(b) In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnitee against a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnitor shall have the right to defend the Indemnitee by appropriate Legal Proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel of its choosing, at its expense, (ii) the Indemnitor shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitee, prior to the period in which the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such matter, may take such reasonable actions to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnitee’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, but with such actions not being determinative of the amount of any Damages. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim that does not include as a term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to Indemnitee a release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment.

(c) If the Indemnitor (i) does not elect to defend the Indemnitee against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnitee timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take commercially reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right but not the obligation to assume such defense and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel of its choosing, at the expense of the Indemnitor; it being understood that the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise (or offer to settle or compromise) a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall cooperate in the conduct of the defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees, subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations. The party that controls the defense, compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim shall keep the other party reasonably informed of material developments and events relating to such claim.

(e) The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable joint defense, attorney-client or work-product privileges.

-73-

(f) Any claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by giving the Indemnitor written notice thereof (a “Notice of Direct Claim”), which notice shall say “Direct Indemnity Claim”, and shall be given promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such claim. Such Notice of Direct Claim must state that the Indemnitee, in good faith, believes it is entitled to indemnification and the relevant section(s) of this Agreement pursuant to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and contain to the extent possible, a good faith estimate of the Damages that the Indemnitee has incurred or paid or will incur or pay as a result of the matter giving rise to such right of indemnification or a statement explaining why such amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of a Notice of Direct Claim to respond in writing to such Notice of Direct Claim. During such period of thirty (30) days, the Indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its professional advisors in their investigation of the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Notice of Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Notice of Direct Claim, and the Indemnitee shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to assist the Indemnitor’s investigation by giving such non-privileged information and assistance at the Indemnitor’s sole expense, as the Indemnitor or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request in order to evaluate such Notice of Direct Claim. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following its receipt of a Notice of Direct Claim that the Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee, such claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed rejected by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 20, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Section 9.

9.7 Duty to Mitigate. Any Person seeking indemnification under this Section 9 shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages incurred by such Person upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder.

9.8 No Duplicate Recovery. Any indemnifiable Damages for which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such indemnifiable Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. There shall be no recovery for any indemnifiable Damages by any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9 to the extent such Damages have been taken into account in the determination of the Final Purchase Price or the Purchase Price Adjustment or pursuant to Section 1.3(a).

9.9 Time of Payment of Claims. Any amount owing by any party hereto pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of such amount in accordance with this Section 9.

9.10 Sole Remedy After Closing.

(a) The Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy for monetary relief with respect to any breach of this Agreement, including breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, excluding (i) any claim for Fraud (provided such claims shall be subject to the limitations and procedures set forth herein, including under Section 9.3) or (ii) any remedies with respect to the Closing Purchase Price adjustment as contained in Section 1.3, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Indemnitee from pursuing equitable relief as may be available to such party under Section 11. The parties shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the Contemplated Transactions (whether by contract, common law, statute, law, regulation or otherwise), all of which the parties hereby waive.

-74-

(b) The Purchaser and Sellers agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any indemnification payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes. Neither the Purchaser nor any Seller shall (nor shall they permit their Affiliates to) take any position on any Tax Return, or before any Governmental Authority involved in the administration of Tax Laws, that is inconsistent with such treatment. The parties hereto agree to use Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain available recoveries from any third party insurer [***].

9.11 No Right of Contribution. The Sellers hereby expressly waive, acknowledge and agree that the Sellers shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert) any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Company in connection with any breach by the Company prior to the Closing or by the Seller of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement for which indemnification is sought by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.11 shall release the right of the Sellers (i) with respect to the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (ii) the obligations of any insurer under any insurance policy (including under the Tail Policy or the Cyber Liability Policy).

9.12 Indemnity Escrow Account. On the first Business Day following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent as is necessary to cause the remaining funds on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Account, minus the aggregate amount of any unsatisfied claims for Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties properly made on or prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the Escrow Termination Date in accordance with the terms of this Section 9 (the “Pending Claim Reserve”), to be released to the Sellers in accordance with their Ownership Percentages. The Pending Claim Reserve shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account until the resolution of the applicable claim or claims to which such reserve relates. To the extent such pending claim or claims are resolved in favor of the Purchaser, the Pending Claim Reserve shall be paid to Purchaser pursuant to joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a final, non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration award delivered to the Escrow Agent, as applicable, with any amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account after such payment to be released to the Sellers, in accordance with their Ownership Percentages.

10. POST CLOSING MATTERS.

Following the Closing Date, the parties agree as follows:

10.1 Cooperation. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party.

-75-

10.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any party is actively contesting or defending against any Claim in connection with (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction that existed on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each of the other parties will cooperate with such party and such party’s counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as will be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party.

10.3 Tax Matters.

(a) Straddle Tax Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, subject to Section 10.3(d) and (e), Tax liabilities with respect to a Tax period which begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Tax Period”) shall be apportioned between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the portion beginning on the day after the Closing Date. The portion of any Taxes for any Straddle Tax Period allocable to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as follows: (i) in the case of any real and personal property Taxes and franchise Taxes not based on gross or net income, based on the total amount of such Taxes for the relevant Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such Straddle Tax Period through the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such Straddle Tax Period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than those described in clause (i), as if such taxable period ended at the close of the Closing Date.

-76-

(b) Tax Returns. The Sellers shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, any and all Tax Returns (other than payroll Tax Returns) required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date which have not been filed as of the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns”). Such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company (except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(d)(vii) and applicable Law). In order to facilitate preparation of such Tax Returns, the Purchaser shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Sellers’ written request and at Sellers’ expense (except that Sellers shall not reimburse Purchaser for internal or unreasonable costs), provide the Sellers with such information as the Sellers shall identify that is reasonably required or practical for preparing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns. The Sellers shall permit the Purchaser to review and comment on any Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including extensions) thereof and shall make any changes reasonably requested by the Purchaser with any dispute relating thereto to be resolved by the Firm using the Dispute Resolution Procedure, applied mutatis mutandis. The Purchaser shall execute and file or cause to be executed and filed (including by providing an appropriate power of attorney to the Sellers’ Representative) all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns on or prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns and, to the extent that the Company has failed to pay the estimated Taxes reflected in Schedule 3.16(r) prior to the Closing and, as a result, additional Taxes are due in connection with the relevant Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns (and assuming no such amounts were taken into account in determining Final Purchase Price), Sellers shall pay to the relevant Tax Authority (or shall pay to Purchaser, which shall then pay to the relevant Tax Authority) such Taxes to the extent shown as due on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns. To the extent Taxes due on the Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns that exceed the amounts shown on Schedule 3.16(r) are not paid pursuant to the prior sentence (and assuming no such amounts were taken into account in determining Final Purchase Price) such that a claim or claims for Damages are made under Section 9.2 (which, for avoidance of doubt, will be subject to the limitations on indemnity under Section 9.3), to the extent such indemnity claims are paid from the Indemnity Escrow Account under Section 9.3 such that the Indemnity Escrow would not otherwise have been used, the Sellers shall promptly replenish the Indemnity Escrow Account by an equal amount. To the extent any remaining amount of such indemnity claims are within any remaining R&W Insurance Policy retention (after accounting for any erosion or step-down of such retention pursuant to the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy), such amounts will be paid by Sellers. The Purchaser shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all other Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date. To the extent any such Tax Returns are for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including the pre-closing portion of any Straddle Period) they will be prepared ‘in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company (except to the extent provided in Section 10.3(d)(vii) and (viii) and applicable Law). The Sellers’ Representative shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Purchaser’s written request and at Purchaser’s expense (except that Purchaser shall not reimburse Sellers for internal or unreasonable costs), provide the Purchaser with such information as the Purchaser shall identify that is reasonably required or practical for preparing Tax Returns described in this Section 10.3(b). The Purchaser shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with drafts of any Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including any Straddle Tax Period Tax Returns) for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including extensions) thereof and, (i) with respect to such Tax Returns for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, shall make any changes reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative with any dispute relating thereto to be resolved by the Firm using the Dispute Resolution Procedure, applied mutatis mutandis, and (ii) with respect to all other such Tax Returns (including Tax Returns for Straddle Periods), shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the Sellers’ Representative.

-77-

(c) Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audits or examinations relating to the Company by any Governmental Authority, or any other Tax Contest, the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser will cooperate fully with one another, including the furnishing or making available on a timely basis of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. The Sellers shall have the right to retain copies of all Tax books and records of the Company relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall and shall cause the Company to (i) until the date that is the later of seven (7) years following the Closing Date and the date that is 30 days after of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, maintain all Tax books and records of the Company relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) and give the Sellers’ Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such Tax books and records and, if the Sellers so request, allow the Sellers’ Representative to take possession of such Tax books and records.

(d) Tax Elections and Conventions. The Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Company, and the Sellers agree with respect to certain Tax matters as follows:

(i) Sellers will cause the Company to make the Accrual Method Change prior to the Closing Date and shall take all accelerations of taxable income and other related consequences into income in the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(ii) The Company will be treated as becoming a member of the Purchaser’s consolidated group at the beginning of the Closing Date pursuant to Proposed Treas. Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(2).

(iii) No party hereto shall apply the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) to any transaction-related deductions or credits of the type described in Section 10.3(e) that are paid or accrued or deemed paid or accrued on the Closing Date. The parties shall apply the Previous Day Rule of Proposed Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) to such transaction-related deductions or credits.

(iv) Except as provided in clause (ii), to treat any gains, income, deductions, losses, or other items realized by the Company for income Tax purposes with respect to any transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company following the Closing on the Closing Date as occurring on the day immediately following the Closing Date and, where applicable, to apply the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(l)(ii)(B) to such items.

In connection with any Pre-Closing S Corp Matter that Sellers do not control [***], Purchaser shall (in addition to providing Sellers the rights set forth in this Section 10.3(g) applicable to Tax Contests where Purchaser is the Controlling Party), afford Sellers rights that are no less robust than [***] (except that such rights shall be extended to Sellers in connection with any Tax Contest [***] involving any Pre-Closing S Corp Matter [***] where Purchaser is the Controlling Party, with such provisions applied mutatis mutandis. In connection with any Tax Contest [***] that is controlled by the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative shall not interfere with [***].
