Items 1.01 and 7.01 of the Previous Current Report remain unchanged. Interested parties should refer to the Previous Current Report for Items 1.01, 7.01 and the prior exhibits filed pursuant to Item 9.01.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 13, 2020, ICF International, Inc. (the “Company”), by and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (“ICF Incorporated”), entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., Incentive Technology Group, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“ITG”), Project Lucky Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and parent company of ITG (“Lucky”), and Shadi Michelle Branch and Adam Branch (“Equity Holders”). By the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, ICF Incorporated will acquire 100% of the membership interests in ITG (the “Acquisition”), which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICF Incorporated and an indirect subsidiary of the Company. The Company will pay a base purchase price of US$255 million (the “Purchase Price”) in cash payable to Lucky, which will distribute the proceeds to the Equity Holders, (subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement).

At the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will (i) hold back US$2.0 million of the Purchase Price for any applicable post-closing and working capital adjustments to the Purchase Price; and (ii) place US$956,250 of the Purchase Price into an escrow account for potential indemnification claims relating to breaches of representations, warranties or covenants.

The completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”); (ii) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the representations and warranties made by ICF Incorporated, ITG, Lucky and the Equity Holders, respectively, being true and correct; and (iii) ICF Incorporated, ITG, Lucky and the Equity Holders being in compliance in all material respects with their respective Purchase Agreement obligations.

The Company and Lucky may terminate the Purchase Agreement upon mutual written agreement, or any party may terminate the Purchase Agreement if: (1) the other party materially violates or breaches any covenant, representation or warranty contained in the Purchase Agreement that has prevented the satisfaction of any closing condition and such violation or breach has not been cured or waived within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice; provided, however, that failure of the closing to occur on the date specified, or failure of the Company to deliver the closing consideration, is not subject to cure unless agreed to in writing by the Equity Holders, or (2) the Acquisition has not closed on or before February 28, 2020.

The Purchase Price will be funded through the Company’s bank credit facility.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit by an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Purchase Agreement

The Purchase Agreement will provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and conditions and is not intended to provide any factual information about the Company or Lucky. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying confidential disclosure schedules. In addition, the representations and warranties and other terms of the Purchase Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Cautionary Statements

This filing and the exhibit attached hereto contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, the results of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including the expected benefits and costs of the Acquisition.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 13, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the signing of the Purchase Agreement and that it will host an investor meeting to discuss the Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition on January 13, 2020 at 4:45 p.m. ET. The meeting will be carried live via webcast, and instructions on how to participate in the webcast are contained in the press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Also attached as Exhibit 99.2 is a copy of the Investor Presentation which will be available on the Company’s website in conjunction with the investor meeting.

Neither the information in 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the information in the press release or the Investor Presentation, shall be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

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 LLC Seller will sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase and accept from the LLC Seller, 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 (which Company Transaction Expenses shall include one-half of the R&W Insurance Expenses);

(c) the amount of the Closing Bonus Payments and the UAR Payments (to be paid by the Company to the Closing Bonus Payments recipients and UAR Holders in the aggregate amounts set forth in the Flow of Funds Memorandum, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll following the Closing);

(d) the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount and Indemnity Escrow Amount to escrow accounts (respectively, the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account” and the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) established by the Purchaser and the LLC Seller 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 A (the “Escrow Agreement”);

(e) to the LLC Seller, Two Hundred Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($255,000,000.00) (“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 LLC Seller, the “Seller Closing Proceeds”). The Closing Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(b) is referred to as the “Purchase Price.”

1.2 Flow of Funds Memorandum. Not later than three (3) 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 (including the Estimated Accounts Receivable, Estimated Prepaid Expenses, Estimated Accounts Payable and Estimated Accrued Expenses) in accordance with Section 1.3(a); (b) the amount that Indebtedness will be on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”); (c) the amount of unpaid Company Transaction Expenses on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”); (d) the amount of the Closing Bonus Payments and the UAR Payments; (e) the amount of Cash on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash”); (f) the amount of Cash Offsets on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash Offsets”); (g) the portion of the Seller Closing Proceeds payable to the LLC Seller; and (h) the updated Schedule 5.17, which schedule shall set forth the amount of unreimbursed Landlord Contributions for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, as of the Closing, and shall supersede and replace the version of such Schedule that are attached hereto as of the date hereof (such statement, the “Flow of Funds Memorandum”). 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 (or instructions to pay certain amounts by check).

1.3 Purchase Price Adjustment. The purpose of the purchase price adjustment set forth in this Section 1.3 is solely to measure any changes in Net Working Capital from the target and Cash, Company Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness from the estimated amounts to the final amounts on the same accounting basis consistently applied by the Company prior to the Closing to reflect the transactions or events up to, and conditions existing as of, the Closing.

(a) Preliminary Purchase Price Adjustment. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the LLC Seller, 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 Closing (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 Closing (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) and the Accounts Receivable of the Company as of the Closing (“Estimated Accounts Receivable”), Prepaid Expenses of the Company as of the Closing (“Estimated Prepaid Expenses”), Accounts Payable of the Company as of the Closing (“Estimated Accounts Payable”), and Accrued Expenses of the Company as of the Closing (“Estimated Accrued Expenses”); (ii) Estimated Cash and Estimated Cash Offsets; (iii) Estimated Indebtedness; and (iv) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses. The LLC Seller 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 LLC Seller will consider, in good faith, any comments made by the LLC Seller to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The LLC Seller shall calculate the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Accounts Receivable, Estimated Prepaid Expenses, Estimated Accounts Payable and Estimated Accrued Expenses 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 decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Cash is less than the Estimated Cash Offsets or increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Cash is greater than the Estimated Cash Offsets; (2) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accounts Receivable are less than the Target Accounts Receivable or increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accounts Receivable are greater than the Target Accounts Receivable; (3) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Prepaid Expenses are less than the Target Prepaid Expenses or increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Prepaid Expenses are greater than the Target Prepaid Expenses; (4) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accounts Payable exceed the Target Accounts Payable or increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accounts Payable are less than the Target Accounts Payable; (5) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accrued Expenses exceed the Target Accrued Expenses or increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount that Estimated Accrued Expenses are less than the Target Accrued Expenses; (6) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Indebtedness; and (7) the Base Purchase Price will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses. 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, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, Cash, Cash Offsets, Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses.

(b) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Delivery of Closing Balance Sheet.

(A) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will, in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(b), prepare and deliver to the LLC Seller (i) its good faith calculation of: (1) the Final Net Working Capital (including Final Accounts Receivable, Final Prepaid Expenses, Final Accounts Payable and Final Accrued Expenses) of the Company as of the Closing, including the Purchaser’s reasonably detailed calculations of Net Working Capital (including Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses), showing in reasonable detail any differences between the Purchaser’s proposed calculation of Final Net Working Capital (including Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses) and the Estimated Net Working Capital (including Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses), together with supporting documentation that is reasonably necessary to confirm the differences between the Estimated Net Working Capital (including Estimated Accounts Receivable, Estimated Prepaid Expenses, Estimated Accounts Payable and Estimated Accrued Expenses) and the Purchaser’s calculation of Net Working Capital (including Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses), (2) the Cash as of the Effective Time and the Cash Offsets as of the Effective Time, (3) the Indebtedness as of the Effective Time, and (4) the 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”, together with the information required under (i), the “Final Closing Statement”). Calculation of the Final Net Working Capital (including Final Accounts Receivable, Final Prepaid Expenses, Final Accounts Payable and Final Accrued 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 to the LLC Seller within the ninety (90) day period specified in this Section 1.3(b)(i)(A), at the LLC Seller’s sole election and discretion, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Estimated Net Working Capital (including Estimated Accounts Receivable, Estimated Prepaid Expenses, Estimated Accounts Payable and Estimated Accrued Expenses) as final.

(B) The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and Final Net Working Capital, Final Accounts Receivable, Final Prepaid Expenses, Final Accounts Payable, Final Accrued Expenses, Final Cash, Final Cash Offsets, Final Company Transaction Expenses and Final Indebtedness shall be determined, in accordance with this Agreement, including the Net Working Capital Principles and definitions of Cash, Cash Offsets, Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Closing Statement, the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Working Capital, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, Cash, Cash Offsets, Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses reflected therein shall (i) exclude the impact of any decisions made or actions taken or omitted by the Purchaser or the Company following the Closing, and (ii) 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.

(c) by the Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the End Date, provided, that such failure is not due to a failure of the Purchaser to perform, in any material respect, any of its material obligations under this Agreement (provided, further, that if the Company has sent the notice to the Purchaser referred to in Section 8.1(b)(ii), the Purchaser may not exercise its right under this Section 8.1(c));

8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated as provided in Section 8.1, all further obligations under this Agreement will terminate and no party hereto will have any liability in respect of the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) the confidentiality obligations of the Purchaser, the Sellers, and the Company described in Section 5.6 will survive any such termination and (b) Sections 11 through 22, 23(a), 24, 25, any applicable definitions set forth in Section 26 and this Section 8.2, shall survive any such termination, and (c) no such termination will relieve any party from liability for Fraud in connection with this Agreement or for any willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, and in the event of such Fraud or such willful and material breach, the parties hereto will be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under law or equity in accordance with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the representations and warranties in Section 2.1 (Necessary Authority), Section 2.2 (Title to the Interests), Section 2.4 (Brokers), Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authorization; Corporate Documentation), Section 3.3 (Title; Capitalization), Section 3.16 (Taxes), Section 3.17 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA), Section 3.19 (Environmental Matters), and Section 3.25 (Brokers) (such representations and warranties by the Sellers and the Company, collectively, the “Fundamental Seller Representations”), Section 4.1 (Organization), Section 4.2 (Necessary Authority), and Section 4.4 (Brokers) (such representations and warranties by the Purchaser, collectively, the “Fundamental Purchaser Representations”) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(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. The indemnification obligations with respect to the matters in Sections 9.2(a)(iv) though (viii) and 9.4(c) and (d) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

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 hereto 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 and the representations and warranties under Section 2.6 and Section 3.31) or by the Company or Sellers in any certificate delivered by the Company or Sellers at Closing pursuant to Section 7.1;

(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;

(iv) any Pre-Closing Taxes;

(v) any Fraud of the Sellers;

(vi) any unpaid Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses;

(vii) any rate or other adjustments, including any cost disallowances and related assessed damages and penalties under the applicable Government Contract, that result in a 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 set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(viii).

(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, 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 word or words were deleted from such representation or warranty); except, however, the foregoing proviso shall not apply for purposes of the use of the phrase “Material Adverse Effect” in Section 2.6, Section 3.30 or Section 3.31 and shall not apply to the defined terms “Material Contracts,” “Material Customers” or “Material Suppliers.” 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.

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 total amount of Damages which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds an aggregate amount equal to $956,250.00 (the “Threshold”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover such Damages that exceed 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 $956,250.00 (the “Cap”).

(c) The aggregate liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2 shall in no event exceed the amount of the cash proceeds actually received by the LLC Seller under this Agreement.

For the sake of clarity, to the extent any facts giving rise to any indemnifiable Damages constitute a breach of a representation or warranty, and except in the case of Fraud, to the extent that such Damages are covered under the R&W Insurance Policy and the limit of liability under the R&W Insurance Policy 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 before seeking recovery directly from the Sellers under clause (iii) above.

9.4 Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Purchaser shall indemnify and defend the Sellers, his, her or its Affiliates and each of their respective 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;

(d) any Fraud of the Purchaser; and

(e) 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 such Damages that exceed 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 Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, upon request and without charge, 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.

(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 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 attorney-client or work-product privileges.

(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 Purchase Price Adjustment.

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 or (ii) any remedies with respect to the 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 transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether by contract, common law, statute, law, regulation or otherwise), all of which the parties hereby waive.

(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 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 their Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain available recoveries from any third party insurer (including with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, from the R&W Insurance Provider). Any indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall be net of (i) any Tax Benefit realizable by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates from any third party with respect thereto, net of any expenses and increase in applicable premiums/retro-premiums related to the recovery of such proceeds. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is received by any Indemnitee with respect to any indemnification obligation for which any such Person has been indemnified under this Agreement, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor. As used herein, “Tax Benefit” shall mean the Tax savings attributable to any deduction, expense, loss, credit or refund to the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, when incurred or received.

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 indemnification obligation or any Damages to which any Seller may become subject under this Agreement or otherwise; 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).

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 LLC Seller 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 LLC Seller. 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, with any amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account after such payment to be released to the LLC Seller.

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.

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) Tax Refunds. Any refund of Taxes that were imposed on the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any interest paid or credited in respect thereto (collectively, a “Tax Refund”), shall be the property of the LLC Seller. If any such Tax Refund is received by the Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates, including by way of credit or allowance against Taxes otherwise payable, an amount equal to such Tax Refund, together with any interest payable thereon, shall be paid to the LLC Seller promptly upon receipt from the applicable Governmental Authority. The Purchaser shall consider, if the LLC Seller so requests and at the LLC Seller’s expense, causing the relevant entity to file for and obtain any Tax Refund to which the LLC Seller is entitled under this Section 10.3(a). For purposes of this Section 10.3(a), if (x) the amount of Taxes in respect of a Straddle Tax Period paid by the Company on or before the Closing Date or taken into account in Net Working Capital, exceeds (y) the amount of such Taxes relating to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date (as determined, under Section 10.3(b)), such excess shall be treated as a Tax Refund.

(b) Straddle Tax Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, 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 Pre-Closing Tax Period 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; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (ii), any transactions outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company following the Closing on the Closing Date shall be allocable to the portion of the Straddle Tax Period following the Closing Date.

(c) Tax Returns. The LLC Seller shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, any income 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 (such Tax Returns, “Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns”). In order to facilitate preparation of such Tax Returns, the Purchaser shall, within a reasonable period of time after the LLC Seller’s written request, provide the LLC Seller with such information as the LLC Seller shall identify that is reasonably necessary for preparing Tax Returns described in this Section 10.3(c). The LLC Seller shall permit the Purchaser to review and comment on any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return that relates solely to the Company (and not any returns that include the LLC Seller or any Affiliate) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return and make any changes reasonably requested by the Purchaser, with any dispute relating thereto to be resolved by the Firm. The Purchaser shall execute and file or cause to be executed and filed all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns on or prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns. The Purchaser, at the LLC Seller’s expense, shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, any other Tax Returns first 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 and any Tax Returns required to be filed for any Straddle Tax Periods. The Purchaser, at the LLC Seller’s expense, shall permit the LLC Seller to review and comment on any such Tax Return that could result in a claim for indemnity against the LLC Seller under this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return or Straddle Tax Period Tax Return and make any changes reasonably requested by the LLC Seller, with any dispute relating thereto to be resolved by the Firm.

(d) Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns and audit examinations relating to the Company by any Governmental Authority or administrative or judicial proceedings resulting therefrom, the LLC Seller 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.

(e) Tax Contests. After the Closing Date, except as set forth in this Section 10.3(e), the Company shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to the Company (each a “Tax Contest”). In the case of a Tax Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to income Taxes in Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the LLC Seller may elect to control the conduct of such Tax Contest, using counsel or accountants reasonably satisfactory to the Company, but the Company shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense, and the LLC Seller shall not settle, compromise or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that could affect the income Tax liability of the Company for any taxable year (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date without the written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that, if the LLC Seller fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Tax Contest within thirty (30) days following the receipt by the LLC Seller of Notice of such Tax Contest from the Purchaser, then the Company shall have the right to assume control of such Tax Contest. In the case of any Tax Contest relating to any Taxes in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Tax Period) that is not controlled by the LLC Seller pursuant to this Section 10.3(e), (i) the LLC Seller shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at the expense of the LLC Seller and (ii) the Purchaser shall not allow the Company to settle or otherwise resolve such Tax Contest without the prior written permission of the LLC Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in each case only to the extent such Tax Contest could result in the LLC Seller being liable pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable Law.

(f) Purchaser Tax Actions. Except as otherwise required under applicable Law, following the Closing, neither the Purchaser nor the Company will (and neither the Purchaser nor the Company will allow any of its Affiliates to): (i) file, amend or modify any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Tax Period), (ii) file, amend or revoke any Tax election for the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Tax Period), (iii) surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes relating to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) enter into any closing agreement relating to any Tax Return of the Company for any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, or (v) make a voluntary disclosure to a Governmental Authority with respect to any Tax or Tax Returns of the Company for any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of the LLC Seller.

(g) Tax Treatment. The Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Company, and the LLC Seller agree with respect to certain Tax matters as follows:

(i) To treat any Transaction Tax Deductions paid or accrued on or before the Closing Date as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the fullest extent allowable by applicable Laws and no party hereto shall apply the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) to such deductions.

(ii) Except as provided in clause (i), 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 apply the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(iv)(B) to such items.

(iii) That no election shall be made by any party under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) to ratably allocate items incurred by the Company for the year in which the Closing occurs.

Unless otherwise required by a final determination of a Governmental Authority, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to file all Tax Returns consistently with the agreements set forth in this Section 10.3(g) and not take any position inconsistent with the agreement in this Section 10.3(g) during an audit or other proceeding with any Governmental Authority.

(h) Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains Tax, stamp Tax, excise Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the LLC Seller. The Purchaser and the LLC Seller agree to cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) any such Transfer Taxes, and also agree to cooperate in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns.

(i) Purchase Price Allocation. Within thirty (30) days after the date that the Purchase Price is determined (as set forth herein), the Purchaser will cause The McLean Group (with the approval of Grant Thornton) to allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule as finally determined by The McLean Group (with the approval of Grant Thornton) pursuant to this Section 10.3(i) shall be binding on the parties and all Tax Returns filed by the Purchaser and its Affiliates and the LLC Seller will be prepared consistently with such Allocation Schedule.

11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each of the Purchaser, the Sellers, and the Company acknowledges that the other parties may be irreparably harmed and that there may be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any of them of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements (including remedies under Section 9), each party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to seek specific performance of, the other parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief on the basis that the party seeking such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. In the event that any party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other order, decree, ruling or judgment.

12. PUBLIC STATEMENTS. (a) Prior to the Closing, (i) neither the Company nor any Seller, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, and (ii) the Purchaser, without the prior written approval of the LLC Seller, and (b) following the Closing (i) the Sellers will not, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, and (ii) neither the Purchaser nor the Company, without the prior written approval of the LLC Seller, will (1) make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent required by Law, in which case the other party will be so advised as far in advance as possible and will be given an opportunity to comment on such release or announcement, or (2) disclose the Purchase Price, the approximate amount of the Purchase Price, any other financial information from which the approximate amount of the Purchase Price may be determined, or disclose any of the other essential terms of this Agreement and except as required by Law or required for financial reporting purposes and except that the parties (or their respective Affiliates) may disclose such terms to their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other Representatives or their respective past, present or prospective financing sources or other investors as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Persons agree to or are bound by contract to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential on terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement that are applicable to the disclosing party hereunder).

13. EXPENSES. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall bear its own legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with its negotiating, executing and performing this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any related investment banking broker or finder’s fees with which any of them have contracted, for periods on or before the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be responsible for 50% and the LLC Seller shall be responsible for 50% of the R&W Insurance Expenses and the HSR Act related filing fees.

14. AMENDMENT AND ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement may be amended only by the execution and delivery of a written instrument by or on behalf of (a) prior to the Closing, all of the parties hereto and (b) after the Closing, the Purchaser and the LLC Seller. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto in their sole discretion.

23. REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL.

(a) Each party has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, consequently, each party hereby waives the application of any rule of law that would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement, including any rule of law to the effect that any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted or construed against the party whose counsel drafted that provision. This Agreement constitutes notice to the Purchaser that the Company has engaged Holland & Knight LLP as its legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and the Purchaser hereby (i) consents to the continued representation of the Company by Holland & Knight LLP in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that Holland & Knight LLP may have represented, and may currently or in the future represent, the Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates with respect to unrelated matters and (ii) waives any actual or alleged conflict and actual or alleged violation of ethical or comparable rules applicable to Holland & Knight LLP, as applicable, that may arise from their representation of the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including representing the Company or its Affiliates against the Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates in litigation, arbitration or mediation in connection therewith. In addition, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that its consent and waiver under this paragraph is voluntary and informed, and that the Purchaser has obtained independent legal advice with respect to this consent and waiver.

(b) The parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Holland & Knight LLP has represented the Company in connection with this Agreement, and may have also represented the Company in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement prior to Closing, Holland & Knight LLP will be permitted in the future, prior to and after the Closing, to represent one or more of such Affiliates, or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers in connection with matters in which such Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers are adverse to the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, including any disputes that such Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers may hereafter have with the Company and/or with the Purchaser arising out of, or related to, this Agreement. The Company and the Purchaser, who is represented by independent counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with Holland & Knight’s future representation of one or more of the Company’s Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers on matters in which the Interests of such Affiliate or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers are adverse to the Interests of the Company and/or the Purchaser, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by Holland & Knight LLP of the Company.

(c) The parties agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action (i) all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in the Sellers, and (ii) any and all protections from disclosure, including attorney-client privileges and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by the Company shall thereupon be vested exclusively in the Sellers and shall be exercised or waived solely by the Sellers. All rights, files, and information that are not Protected Communications, including matters that relate to the operation of the Company shall belong to the Company. Neither the Company, Purchaser or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of the LLC Seller, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure of Protected Communications, including the attorney-client privilege or work product protection with respect to, or to discover, obtain, use or disclose or attempt to discover, obtain, use or disclose any Protected Communications in connection with any dispute with Sellers or the Company relating to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or the Company, on the one hand, and a Person other than the Sellers or one of his, her or its Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Protected Communications to such third party.

24. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except with respect to Holland & Knight LLP under Section 23, this Agreement will not confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

25. EXHIBITS, APPENDICES AND DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. The Exhibits, Appendices, and Disclosure Schedules referenced in this Agreement are a material part of this Agreement. Each Disclosure Schedule will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedules are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties, and covenants in the Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any such representations, warranties, or covenants. No Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement, law or regulation shall be construed as an admission that any such breach or violation has actually occurred.
