Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 3, 2020, ICF International, Inc. (the “Company” or “ICF”) and ICF Consulting Group, Inc., its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the First Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a group of lenders for which PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), acted as Administrative Agent and PNC Capital Markets LLC, Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, acted in the capacity of joint lead arrangers (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment governs ICF’s senior credit facility and amends the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement, entered into on May 17, 2017 (the “Existing Loan Agreement” and, together with the First Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement.

Below is a summary of the material differences between the Amended Loan Agreement and the Existing Loan Agreement. All other material terms of the Amended Loan Agreement remain the same as previously disclosed in connection with the Existing Loan Agreement.

The Amended Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $600 million (same amount as the Existing Loan Agreement) with additional revolving credit commitments of up to $300 million (same amount as the Existing Loan Agreement), a new secured term loan facility of $200 million and a sub-limit of $75 million for Swing Line Loans (an increase from $25 million from the Existing Loan Agreement). The Leverage Ratio has been increased from 3.75 to 1.0 under the Existing Loan Agreement to 4.0 to 1.0 under the Amended Loan Agreement (with the Leverage Ratio to be stepped up to 4.25 to 1 for the four Fiscal Quarters following either (a) a Permitted Acquisition with a purchase price exceeding $50 million, or (b) a series of Permitted Acquisitions (within the same Fiscal Quarter) with an aggregate purchase price exceeding $75 million). The Amended Loan Agreement has a term of five (5) years from the closing date, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must have been terminated or cash collateralized.

The Amended Loan Agreement maintains its first priority perfected security interest in sixty-five percent (65%) of the stock of all Material Foreign Subsidiaries. The Amended Loan Agreement continues the requirement that each Material Domestic Subsidiary serve as Guarantor under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement.

The description of the Amended Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended Loan Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that (i) it has participated in the negotiation of this Amendment, and no provision of this Amendment shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, dictated or drafted such provision; (ii) it had access to an attorney of its choosing in the negotiation of the terms of and in the preparation and execution of this Amendment, and it had the opportunity to review, analyze, and discuss with its counsel this Amendment, and the underlying factual matters relevant to this Amendment, for a sufficient period of time prior to the execution and delivery hereof; (iii) all of the terms of this Amendment were negotiated at arm's length; (iv) this Amendment was prepared and executed without fraud, duress, undue influence, or coercion of any kind exerted by any of the parties upon the others; and (v) the execution and delivery of this Amendment is the free and voluntary act of each Borrower and Guarantor.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Counterparts; Integration. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment, the other Amendment Documents, the Amended Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(b) Severability. The provisions of this Amendment are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Amendment shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

(c) Headings. The headings used herein are included for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

(d) Cost and Expenses. Contemporaneously herewith, the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay all expenses as provided in Section 1.7(e) of the Amended Loan Agreement incurred by the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.

(e) Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

(i) Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrowers hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable. For purposes hereof, the term "Spot Rates" means, for a currency, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable, to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date as of which the foreign exchange computation is made; provided that the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable, may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable, if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency; and provided further that the LC Issuer may use such spot rate quoted on the date as of which the foreign exchange computation is made in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as applicable, shall endeavor to obtain the most favorable spot buying rate, but it shall have no obligation or liability for its failure to do so; and the term "Revaluation Date" means, with respect to any Letter of Credit or Loan, each of the following: (a) each date of issuance of a Letter of Credit or borrowing of a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, (b) each date of an amendment of any such Letter of Credit having the effect of increasing the amount thereof (solely with respect to the increased amount), (c) each date of any payment by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit, or by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower of a Loan, denominated in an Alternative Currency, (d) in the case of the existing Letters of Credit, such additional dates as the existing LC Issuer shall determine, and (e) such additional dates as the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer shall determine.

(ii) Wherever in this Agreement an amount is expressed in Dollars, but a calculation may require an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined in respect of the most recent Revaluation Date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars.

(d) Additional Alternative Currencies.

(i) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of "Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer.

(ii) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Letter of Credit issuance (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer, in their sole discretion). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer thereof. The LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(iii) Any failure by the LC Issuer to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by the LC Issuer to permit Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowers.

(e) Change of Currency.

(i) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the legislative measures of the European Council). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Letter of Credit in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Letter of Credit upon the earliest date on which each Letter of Credit is renewed, extended or expired.

(ii) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(iii) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) each Revolving Facility Lender severally agrees to make the Loans under the Revolving Facility to the Borrowers (except for the Swing Line Loan, which shall be extended only by the Swing Line Lender), with the maximum amount of each Revolving Facility Lender's obligation being equal to such Revolving Facility Lender's Percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount; (ii) each Term Facility Lender severally agrees to make Loans under the Term Facility to the Borrowers on the First Modification Closing Date, with the maximum amount of each Term Facility Lender's obligation being equal to such Lender's Percentage of the Term Facility Commitment Amount; and (iii) as set forth more fully in Section 1.1(b) below, the Swing Line Lender will make the Swing Line Loan to the Borrowers. The Loans, including the Swing Line Loan, shall bear interest and be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes. The Revolver Notes shall be executed and delivered to each respective Revolving Facility Lender on the Closing Date, the Term Facility Notes shall be executed and delivered to each respective Term Facility Lender on the First Modification Closing Date, and thereafter, from time to time, Notes shall be executed and delivered to each respective Lender as and when requested by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall make swing line loans (each, a "Swing Line Loan" and collectively, the "Swing Line Loans") to the Borrowers from time to time during the Swing Line Commitment Period, in the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Swing Line Commitment Amount; provided, however, that at no time may the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Facility (including the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding), exceed the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount. During the Swing Line Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the request of the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent may, at any time, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct the Administrative Agent to act on their behalf) request each Revolving Facility Lender having a Percentage of the Revolving Facility, including the Lender then acting as the Swing Line Lender, to make, and each such Revolving Facility Lender, including the Lender then acting as the Swing Line Lender, shall make an advance under the Revolving Facility, in an amount equal to such Revolving Facility Lender's Percentage of the Revolving Facility, of the amount of the Swing Line Outstandings as of the date such request is made. In such event, each such Revolving Facility Lender shall make the requested proceeds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the funding provisions set forth in this Agreement. The proceeds of the Revolving Facility advanced pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Outstandings, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

1.2 Use of Proceeds. The Loans shall be used by the Borrowers only for the following purposes: (a) to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Borrowers; (b) to finance any Permitted Acquisition (including, the purchase price of a Permitted Acquisition, together with customary transaction costs and expenses payable to unrelated and unaffiliated third parties relating thereto); and (c) for working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit and general corporate needs. Each Borrower agrees that it will not use or permit the Loan proceeds or any Letter of Credit to be used (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto, or (iv) for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

1.3 [Reserved].

1.4 Advances; Payments.

(a) Agreement to Advance and Readvance; Procedure. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default, and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Revolving Facility Lenders (and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) shall advance and readvance the proceeds of the Revolving Facility and the proceeds of the Swing Line Facility (as applicable) from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Borrowers upon the Borrowers' execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements required by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders in connection herewith. In addition to any and all other conditions to advance set forth in this Agreement, on the date of each request for an advance and as of the date of advance, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have remade and redated each and all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and with respect to those representations and warranties qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and with respect to those representations and warranties not qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects in each case as of such date, unless such representation or warranty specifically refers to an earlier date or the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers shall have previously disclosed the same to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default. Requests for advances with respect to the Revolving Facility (to the extent not auto-advanced pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, and requests for advances with respect to the Swing Line Facility (to the extent not auto-advanced pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1(a) to this Agreement. Requests for advances of Loan proceeds with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Swing Line Facility may be made via facsimile or electronic mail on any given Business Day if the Borrowers provide the Administrative Agent, in advance, with a written list of the names of the specific officers authorized to request disbursements by facsimile or electronic mail. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall confirm, in an original writing, each facsimile or electronic mail request for advance made by any Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Revolving Facility Lenders shall have no obligation to make any advance with respect to the Revolving Facility after the Maturity Date and each Revolving Facility Lender’s commitment under the Revolving Facility, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall terminate on the Maturity Date; and (ii) the Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance with respect to the Swing Line Facility after the Swing Line Termination Date. So long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no act, event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing (which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default), and (iii) subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Term Facility Lenders shall advance to the Borrowers all of the proceeds of the Term Facility on the First Modification Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition to any and all other conditions to advance set forth in this Agreement, on the First Modification Closing Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have remade and redated each and all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and with respect to those representations and warranties qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and with respect to those representations and warranties not qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects in each case as of such date, unless such representation or warranty specifically refers to an earlier date or the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers shall have previously disclosed the same to the Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default. Once amounts are advanced pursuant to a Term Facility Commitment, the particular Term Facility Lenders shall have no further obligation to advance or readvance any proceeds of such Term Facility Commitment, and once repaid, amounts under the Term Facility may not be reborrowed.

(b) Interest Rate Election; Certain Advance Procedures and Limits. Amounts advanced in connection with the Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, which shall either be on a Base Rate basis or LIBOR basis, as more fully set forth below and in the exhibits attached to this Agreement, except that Swing Line Loans shall only be made available to the Borrowers on a Swing Line Rate basis. Advances bearing interest on a Base Rate basis shall be in minimum and incremental amounts of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be made available on a same-day basis, if requested by 12:00 Noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on any Business Day. Advances under the Swing Line Facility shall be made available on a same-day basis, if requested by 12:00 Noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on any Business Day. Advances bearing interest on a LIBOR basis shall also be in minimum and incremental amounts of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be made available not less than three (3) Business Days, nor more than five (5) Business Days after the date of request, if requested by 12:00 Noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time. The Borrowers' right to request LIBOR based interest, as well as certain additional terms, conditions and requirements relating thereto, are set forth below and in the exhibits attached to this Agreement, and each Borrower expressly acknowledges and consents to such additional terms and provisions. During the period from the Closing Date until the first day of the first full calendar month after no less than ten (10) days have elapsed since the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2017, the Additional Base Rate Interest Margin shall be fifty (50) basis points (i.e., 0.50%), and the Additional Libor Interest Margin shall be one hundred fifty (150) basis points (i.e., 1.50%). During the period from the First Modification Closing Date until the first day of the first full calendar month after no less than ten (10) days have elapsed since the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2020, the Additional Base Rate Interest Margin and the Additional Libor Interest Margin shall be calculated based upon the pro forma Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate delivered and dated as of the First Modification Closing Date. Thereafter, the applicable Additional Base Rate Interest Margin and the applicable Additional Libor Interest Margin shall be (i) based on the ICF Entities’ Leverage Ratio, calculated in accordance with Section 6.15 of this Agreement, and (ii) determined according to Exhibit 7 attached to this Agreement. Interest rate adjustments shall be applicable hereunder on a prospective basis. The Additional Base Rate Interest Margin and Additional Libor Interest Margin shall be calculated by and become effective on the first day of the first full calendar month after no less than ten (10) days have elapsed since the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements required by this Agreement; it being understood, however, that in the event the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements are not submitted when due, the Borrowers, after written notice and failure to cure within two (2) days of such notice, shall not be entitled to any reduction in the Additional Base Rate Interest Margin and/or the Additional Libor Interest Margin for the ensuing quarterly period, and at the option of the Administrative Agent, all amounts outstanding during such period shall bear interest on a Base Rate basis or LIBOR basis (as the case may be), plus the highest applicable Additional Base Rate Interest Margin or Additional Libor Interest Margin (as applicable) set forth in Exhibit 7 attached to this Agreement. At any time an Event of Default exists, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may impose the Default Rate in addition to (and not in lieu of) the Additional Base Rate Interest Margin and/or the Additional Libor Interest Margin effective as of the date upon which such Event of Default first occurred or such later date approved by the Required Lenders in writing; provided, that any such increase may thereafter be rescinded by the Required Lenders.

(c) Repayment; Interest; Automatic Advances/Payments. All sums advanced in connection with the Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms set forth below and in the other Loan Documents:

(i) Repayment of Loan. Unless sooner accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall repay on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Facility and the Swing Line Facility outstanding on such date.

(ii) Interest.

A. So long as no Event of Default or any act, event or condition which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall have the right to elect that specified amounts advanced under the Revolving Facility and/or Term Facility bear interest at either (1) the LIBOR Rate, plus the applicable Additional Libor Interest Margin in effect at the commencement of the particular Interest Period, or (2) the Base Rate, plus the applicable Additional Base Rate Interest Margin in effect at the commencement of the particular Interest Period. Such election shall be made in accordance with the specific procedures set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Exhibit 3 attached to this Agreement, and shall be subject to the conditions, requirements and other terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrowers may not revoke any election without the Administrative Agent's written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the expiration of an applicable Interest Period, if the Administrative Agent has not received a LIBOR Election Form and Certification from the Borrowers or other written direction from the Borrowers with respect to rolling over LIBOR elections generally, the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to any amounts for which such existing interest rate is expiring shall, from and after the end of the applicable expiring Interest Period, be the Base Rate, plus the applicable Additional Base Rate Interest Margin; it being understood and agreed, however, that such amount may, at any time thereafter, bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, plus the applicable Additional Libor Interest Margin, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent has received an appropriate LIBOR Election Form and Certification from the Borrowers.

B. Interest accrued on a Base Rate basis shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. Base Rate interest shall be calculated on a 360-day year basis and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest accrued on a LIBOR Rate basis shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date. LIBOR interest shall be calculated on a 360-day year basis and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest accrued on a Swing Line Rate basis shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date. Swing Line Rate interest shall be calculated on a 360-day year basis and the actual number of days elapsed.

(iii) Automatic Advances/Payments. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, on any Business Day, to transfer funds from the Collateral Account or any other designated account of the Borrowers to pay down the Obligations (other than the Term Facility) and to make Loans under the Revolving Facility or Swing Line Loans available to the Borrowers to cover shortages or overdrafts in the Collateral Account or such other designated account of the Borrowers. All such transfers are subject to the availability of Loan proceeds under the Revolving Facility (with respect to advances) and the availability of funds in the Collateral Account or such other designated account of the Borrowers (with respect to paydowns). The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make such transfers (or direct any Lender maintaining a Deposit Account of a Borrower to wire transfer to the Administrative Agent any funds on deposit thereon to facilitate any such transfer by the Administrative Agent), but neither the Administrative Agent nor such Lender shall have any liability for their failure to do so. Subject to the terms of any cash management agreement between the Borrowers and any Lender, the Borrowers may, at any time, terminate the authority granted by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent herein upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Application of Payments. All payments made or to be made upon any Obligations shall be payable in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay in full all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes (as the case may be), such funds shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to expenses and costs of collection, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loans, including, but not limited to, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of the Borrowers and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, until paid in full;

(ii) second, to fees and late charges owing to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and then to fees and late charges owing to the Lenders (ratably in accordance with each Lenders' Percentage) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, until paid in full;

(iii) third, to accrued and unpaid interest (applied first to the Swing Line Facility and then pro rata (ratably in accordance with each Lenders' Percentages) to the Revolving Facility and the Term Facility) owing to the Lenders, until paid in full;

(iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (applied first to Swing Line Outstandings (if any), then pro rata (ratably in accordance with the Lenders' Percentages) to the unpaid and outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Facility, the Term Facility, the Multi-Currency Line of Credit Permitted Financial Products and all Hedging Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, and then pro rata to all other Permitted Financial Product Obligations) owing to the Lenders until paid in full; and

(v) fifth, to any Person lawfully entitled thereto.

(e) Adjustments. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements (other than as a result of changes in GAAP) of the ICF Entities or for any other reason, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio, as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date, was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Additional Libor Interest Margin, Additional Base Rate Interest Margin, Revolving Facility Commitment Fee and/or Letter of Credit Fee for the applicable period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period (after netting out, during the same relevant period only, any payments of interest and fees paid during such period which have been determined to have been in excess of what was owed by the Borrowers as a result of a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio that would have resulted in lower pricing for such period) over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. If, during any applicable period, the Borrowers shall have paid interest and/or fees in excess of what was actually owed by the Borrowers as a result of a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio (that would have resulted in lower pricing for such period), then such excess shall be credited against the next payment of interest and/or fees due and payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. This paragraph shall not otherwise limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. The Borrowers' obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

1.5 Alternative Currency Loans; Loan Proceeds for Foreign Subsidiaries. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may at any time, and from time to time, request and obtain Alternative Currency Loans pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to the proceeds of any Loan or Alternative Currency Loan requested by a Borrower to be funded directly to any Foreign Subsidiary which has not previously been approved to receive the proceeds of a Loan or Alternative Currency Loan pursuant to this Section 1.5, the following conditions precedent shall have first been satisfied (a) the Borrowers shall have provided to the Administrative Agent written notice of its desire to have the proceeds of a Loan or Alternative Currency Loan sent to such Foreign Subsidiary (each, a “Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request”), (b) the Administrative Agent shall have promptly notified the Revolving Facility Lenders of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request and requested the Revolving Facility Lenders’ consent therefor, and (c) all of the Revolving Facility Lenders shall have consented to such Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request within ten (10) Business Days of the Revolving Facility Lenders’ receipt of such Foreign Subsidiary Loan request from the Administrative Agent, and any know your customer and/or beneficial ownership certification forms required by the Lenders. Without limiting the conditions to obtain Loan advances set forth in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Revolving Facility Lender shall be obligated to honor any Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request unless all of the Revolving Facility Lenders shall have first consented to such Foreign Subsidiary receiving the proceeds of the Loan or Alternative Currency Loan pursuant to the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request. From and after the date, if any, on which all Revolving Facility Lender consent shall have been issued for a Foreign Subsidiary to receive the proceeds of a Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan, no further consent shall be necessary for such Foreign Subsidiary to receive the proceeds of any other Loan or Alternative Currency Loan. Any Revolving Facility Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, fulfill its Commitment hereunder by causing an Affiliate of such Revolving Facility Lender to act as the Revolving Facility Lender in respect of such Foreign Subsidiary Loan Request (and such Revolving Facility Lender shall, to the extent of the proceeds of Loans and Alternative Currency Loans made available to and participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers with respect to such a Foreign Subsidiary, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans and participation to such Affiliate).

1.6 Reserved.

1.7 Certain Fees. In addition to principal, interest and other sums payable under the Notes and pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay the following fees:

(a) Upfront Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date and as of the First Modification Closing Date, an upfront fee in the amounts set forth in, and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Fee Letter. Additionally, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender or Incremental Term Facility Lender, an Incremental Revolving Facility Upfront Fee or Term Facility Upfront Fee (as applicable), for the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment made by such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender or Incremental Term Facility Commitment made by such Incremental Term Facility Lender pursuant to this Agreement in an amount to be determined at the time such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment or Incremental Term Facility Commitment (as applicable) is accepted by the Borrowers. The Incremental Revolving Facility Upfront Fee or Term Facility Upfront Fee shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment or Incremental Term Facility Commitment (as applicable).

(b) Commitment Fee. So long as any amounts remain outstanding in connection with the Revolving Facility, or the Revolving Facility Lenders have any obligation to make any advance in connection therewith, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably, a quarterly commitment fee (the "Revolving Facility Commitment Fee"), at an annual rate corresponding to the ICF Entities’ Leverage Ratio for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter, as set forth on Exhibit 7 attached to this Agreement, calculated on the difference between (i) the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount (including any increases thereto pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof), and (ii) without duplication, the sum of the daily outstanding principal balance of the Loans under the Revolving Facility (other than Swing Line Outstandings) during the applicable three (3) month period, plus the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time during the applicable three (3) month period. The Revolving Facility Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, shall be due for any three (3) month period during which the Revolving Facility Lenders shall have any obligation in connection with the Revolving Facility, and shall be payable in arrears, commencing on June 30, 2017, and continuing on the last Business Day of every third (3^rd) calendar month thereafter for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, and on the date on which the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. During the period from the Closing Date until the first day of the first full calendar month after no less than ten (10) days have elapsed since the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2017, the Revolving Facility Commitment Fee shall be seventeen and one-half (17.5) basis points (i.e., 0.175%). During the period from the First Modification Closing Date, until the first day of the first full calendar month after no less than ten (10) days have elapsed since the Administrative Agent's receipt of the Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate and quarterly financial statements due for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2020, the Revolving Facility Commitment Fee shall be based upon the pro forma Quarterly Covenant Compliance Certificate delivered and dated as of the First Modification Closing Date.

(c) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay such other fees in the amounts set forth in, and pursuant to, the terms of the Fee Letter.

The Borrowers shall be liable for and shall timely pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, and of other special and local counsel and other experts, if any, engaged by the Administrative Agent) from time to time incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers in connection with (i) the syndication of the Loan and/or (ii) the drafting of, administration of, preservation of rights in and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be liable for all of the Administrative Agent's out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) associated with any and all amendments, waivers and/or consents prepared, negotiated, executed, issued and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction related to the Loans, this section shall not be merged into such judgment, but shall survive the same and shall be binding and conclusive on the parties for all time. Post-judgment attorneys’ fees and costs incurred related to the enforcement of such judgment related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be recoverable hereunder in the same or separate actions.

1.8 Increases to the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount; Term Facility Option.

(a) Increases to the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount

(i) The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, request Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Uncommitted Incremental Facility Commitment Amount from one or more Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders, which, in the first instance, shall only include existing Lenders; it being understood and agreed that (A) no Lender shall have any obligation to become an Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and (B) if the full amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested are not subscribed for by existing Lenders within ten (10) days of the delivery of such written notice, the Borrowers may offer such remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments to other non-Lender financial institutions; provided that each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and a minimum amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), or equal to the Uncommitted Incremental Facility Commitment Amount), and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice). Any Loan made or to be made pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall (I) constitute a Loan made pursuant to this Agreement, (II) be deemed advanced under the Revolving Facility, (III) bear interest and be repaid in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to advances made under the Revolving Facility, without preference or priority, (IV) be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis, and (V) be subject to all other terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to Loans and advances thereof.

(ii) The Borrowers and each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment evidenced thereby.

(iii) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.8, the outstanding Loans under the Revolving Facility (if any) are held by the Lenders in accordance with their new pro rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (A) by requiring the outstanding Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Facility borrowing, (B) by causing the existing Revolving Facility Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders, (C) by permitting the Revolving Facility borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 1.8 to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Revolving Facility Lenders would hold such Revolving Facility borrowings other than in accordance with their new pro rata Percentages, or (D) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this subparagraph (iii) shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, but otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective, unless on the date of such effectiveness, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred or exist which with notice of the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default both before and after giving effect to any such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment, and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received (I) a certificate dated such date and executed by the Chief Financial Officer or other duly authorized officer of the Borrowers, certifying that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5 of this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents are, if qualified by "materiality", true and correct in all respects, and if not qualified by "materiality", true and correct in all material respects, on and as of the date of the certificate with the same effect as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that a representation and warranty relates to an earlier date); (II) one (1) or more duly executed Notes (or allonges to certain existing Notes), in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall evidence the Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment; (III) UCC, judgment, bankruptcy, pending litigation and tax lien search results for the Borrowers, confirming that no intervening lien, claim or encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any Collateral exists that would affect the legality, validity or priority of the liens in favor of or for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with respect to such Collateral; (IV) the applicable Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement, duly executed by the parties thereto, together with such other documents, instruments and/or agreements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (V) the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Upfront Fee payable by the Borrowers to and for the account of each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender.

(i) The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, request new Incremental Term Facility Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Uncommitted Incremental Facility Amount from one or more Incremental Term Facility Lenders, which, in the first instance, shall only include existing Lenders; it being understood and agreed that (A) no Lender shall have any obligation to become an Incremental Term Facility Lender (and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Incremental Term Facility Commitments in the amount requested by the Borrowers), and (B) if the full amount of the Incremental Term Facility Commitments being requested are not subscribed for by existing Lenders within ten (10) days of the delivery of such written notice, the Borrowers may offer such remaining Incremental Term Facility Commitments to other non-Lender financial institutions; provided further that each Incremental Term Facility Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and a minimum amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), or equal to the Uncommitted Incremental Facility Commitment Amount) and (B) the date on which such Incremental Term Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice). Any Loan made or to be made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility Commitment shall (I) constitute a Loan made pursuant to this Agreement, (II) be deemed advanced under the Term Facility, (III) bear interest and be repaid in accordance with this Agreement applicable to advances made under the Term Facility, without preference or priority, (IV) be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis, and (V) be subject to all other terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to Loans and advances thereof. Once amounts are advanced pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility Commitment, the Term Facility Lenders shall have no further obligation to advance or readvance any proceeds of such Incremental Term Facility Commitment, and once repaid, amounts under the Term Facility may not be reborrowed. At the time of request of any Incremental Term Facility Commitment, the Borrowers and the applicable Incremental Term Facility Lenders will agree upon (a) the applicable interest rate, (b) the maturity date of the Term Loans being made available pursuant to the applicable Incremental Term Facility Commitment, which date must be either co-terminus with or later than the Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility, (c) the Term Facility Upfront Fee; and (d) the repayment, prepayment, funding mechanics and amortization terms; provided that the weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loan made pursuant to such Incremental Term Facility Commitment shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans made under the Term Facility on the First Modification Closing Date.

(ii) The Borrowers and each Incremental Term Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Facility Commitment of such Incremental Term Facility Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Term Loans being made available pursuant to the applicable Incremental Term Facility Commitment evidenced thereby.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Facility Commitment shall become effective, unless on the date of such effectiveness, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred or exist which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default both before and after giving effect to any such Incremental Term Facility Commitment, and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received (I) a certificate dated such date and executed by the Chief Financial Officer or other duly authorized officer of the Borrowers, certifying that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5 of this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents are, if qualified by “materiality” true and correct in all respects, and if not qualified by “materiality”, true and correct in all material respects, on and as of the date of the certificate with the same effect as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that a representation and warranty relates to an earlier date); (II) one (1) or more duly executed Notes (or Allonges to existing Notes, as the case may be), in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall evidence the Term Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Term Facility Commitment; (III) UCC, judgment, bankruptcy, pending litigation and tax lien search results for the Borrowers, confirming that no intervening lien, claim or encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any Collateral exists that would affect the legality, validity or priority of the liens in favor of or for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with respect to such Collateral; (IV) the applicable Incremental Facility Assumption Agreement, duly executed by the parties thereto, together with such other documents, instruments and/or agreements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (V) the applicable Term Facility Upfront Fee payable by the Borrowers to and for the account of each Incremental Term Facility Lender.

Upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Power of Attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming and restating the power-of-attorney granted herein.

1.10 Joinder of New Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b) of this Agreement or unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, any present or future Material Domestic Subsidiary (or any ICF Entity becoming a Material Domestic Subsidiary after the Closing Date), shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent within forty-five (45) days of the date of formation or acquisition (as applicable) of any Material Domestic Subsidiary or any ICF Entity becoming a Material Domestic Subsidiary after the Closing Date (x) a Guaranty Agreement in substantially the form of the Guaranty Agreement executed by the Guarantors as of the Closing Date (or joinder to the existing Guaranty in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and its counsel in all respects); (y) a security agreement pursuant to which such Material Domestic Subsidiary will grant and convey to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of its assets; and (z) such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith (including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel and all know your customer, Patriot Act and beneficial ownership certifications), in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and its counsel in all respects;

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above, no ICF Entity that fails to qualify as a Material Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor. However, irrespective of whether or not any Person is required to be joined as a Guarantor, the Borrowers and Guarantors shall undertake, and cause the applicable ICF Entity to undertake, any and all necessary and appropriate procedures to grant in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a first priority perfected security interest in and to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in each Domestic Subsidiary of a Borrower or Guarantor within forty-five (45) days of such Person becoming a Domestic Subsidiary of a Borrower or Guarantor, and (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the Equity Interests in each Material Foreign Subsidiary, whether directly or indirectly as provided in Article 3 of this Agreement, within sixty (60) days of such Person becoming a Material Foreign Subsidiary; and

(e) Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this Section 1.10 to join a Person to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers may at any time elect to join as a “Borrower” party or Guarantor any Domestic Subsidiary which is not required to be joined to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to clause (a) above by giving forty-five (45) days prior written notice of the Borrowers’ election to do so, together with such detailed information as may be reasonably necessary to join such Person as a “Borrower” party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or as a Guarantor. Prior to the expiration of said forty-five (45) day period, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, and shall cause such Person being joined as a “Borrower” party to this Agreement or as a “Guarantor” party to the Guaranty to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement, or as applicable, a new guaranty, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

1.11 Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount. The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Facility commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount (ratably among the Revolving Facility Lenders in proportion to their Percentage); provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Facility commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Facility made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Facility plus the face amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed the aggregate Revolving Facility commitments of the Revolving Facility Lenders. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000.00, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount then in effect. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolver Notes, together with outstanding Revolving Facility Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 12.20 hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Facility after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount under this Section 1.11 shall be irrevocable.

1.12 Successor LIBOR Rate Index.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate (which, for purposes of this Section 1.12, shall include the Daily LIBOR Rate) with a Benchmark Replacement; and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided however, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any pending selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Loan bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate that has not yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate option with respect to such Loan, (ii) all outstanding Loans bearing interest on a LIBOR Rate basis shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate option at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Administrative Agent cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Loan on a LIBOR Rate basis) and (iii) the component of the Base Rate based upon the Daily LIBOR Rate will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.12 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.12.

(d) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 1.12:

“Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than zero, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the LIBOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate for each applicable Interest Period, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the LIBOR Rate with the applicable Benchmark Replacement (excluding such spread adjustment) by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such replacement of the LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities at such time and (b) which may also reflect adjustments to account for (i) the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the Benchmark Replacement and (ii) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the LIBOR Rate permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the LIBOR Rate; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Government having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, which states that the administrator of the LIBOR Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the LIBOR Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Government having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that the LIBOR Rate is no longer representative.

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Rate and solely to the extent that the LIBOR Rate has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the LIBOR Rate for all purposes hereunder in accordance with Section 1.12 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the LIBOR Rate for all purposes hereunder pursuant to Section 1.12.

“Early Opt-in Event” means a determination by the Administrative Agent that U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities being executed at such time, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 1.12, are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBOR Rate.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

ARTICLE 2
LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.1 Issuance. The Borrowers and the Revolving Facility Lenders acknowledge that from time to time the Borrowers may request that an LC Issuer issue or amend Letter(s) of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other requirements for letters of credit normally and customarily imposed by an LC Issuer, each LC Issuer agrees to issue Letters of Credit or amendments therefor, provided that on the date of each request for a Letter of Credit or amendment to a Letter of Credit and as of the date of issuance thereof, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no act, event or condition has occurred or exists which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and (iii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have remade and redated each and all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and with respect to those representations and warranties qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and with respect to those representations and warranties not qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects in each case as of such date, unless such representation or warranty specifically refers to an earlier date or the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers shall have previously disclosed the same to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default. If any such Letter(s) of Credit are issued by an LC Issuer, each of the Revolving Facility Lenders shall purchase from such LC Issuer a risk participation with respect to such Letter(s) of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Facility Lender's Percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount. With respect to Letters of Credit issued or renewed (in accordance with the terms set forth below) with an expiration date that extends beyond the Maturity Date, the LC Issuer shall require, on or immediately prior to the Maturity Date, cash security for the period of exposure from and after the Maturity Date, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. Any request for a Letter of Credit shall be made by a Borrower submitting to the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) an Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit or Amendment to Letter of Credit (each being herein referred to as a "Letter of Credit Application") on an LC Issuer's standard form, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit shall be required, which Letter of Credit Application shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of a Borrower, and be accompanied by such other supporting documentation and information as the Administrative Agent or LC Issuer may from time to time reasonably request. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be deemed to govern the terms of issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that Letters of Credit shall not be issued for durations of longer than one (1) year. Any outstanding Letter of Credit may be renewed from time to time; provided that (a) at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice thereof shall have been given by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer; (b) no Event of Default exists under the terms and provisions of the particular Letter of Credit or this Agreement, (c) no act, event or condition has occurred or exists which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the terms and provisions of the particular Letter of Credit or this Agreement and (d) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have remade and redated each and all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and with respect to those representations and warranties qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and with respect to those representations and warranties not qualified by "materiality", such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects in each case as of such date, unless such representation or warranty specifically refers to an earlier date or the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers shall have previously disclosed the same to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default.

2.2 Amounts Advanced Pursuant to Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of any Letter(s) of Credit (a) any amounts drawn pursuant thereto shall be repaid immediately by the Borrowers, and if not repaid, will be deemed advanced ratably under the Revolver Notes, shall bear interest and be payable in accordance with the terms of the Revolver Notes and shall be secured by the Collateral (in the same manner as all other sums advanced under the Revolver Notes); and (b) each Revolving Facility Lender shall purchase from the LC Issuer such risk participations in the Letter(s) of Credit as shall be necessary to cause each Revolving Facility Lender to share the funding obligations with respect thereto ratably in accordance with such Revolving Facility Lender's Percentage. It is expressly understood and agreed that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to an LC Issuer in connection with any such Letter(s) of Credit shall be deemed to be "Obligations," and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to release its security interest in the Collateral until (i) all Notes and all other sums due to the Lenders in connection with the Loan have been paid and satisfied in full, (ii) all Letters of Credit have been canceled, expired or cash collateralized, as provided in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and (iii) no Lender or LC Issuer has any further obligation or responsibility to make additional Loan advances or issue additional Letters of Credit. Furthermore, in no event whatsoever shall any LC Issuer have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit which would cause (x) the face amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of any or all Borrowers to exceed Sixty Million and No/100 Dollars ($60,000,000.00), in the aggregate, or (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Facility (including the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding), to exceed the Revolving Facility Commitment Amount.

2.3 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of: (a) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably, a quarterly fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") at the annual rate equal to the Additional Libor Interest Margin corresponding to the ICF Entities’ Leverage Ratio reported as of the immediately preceding quarter, as set forth on Exhibit 7 attached to this Agreement, subject to the Administrative Agent’s right to impose the Default Rate (if applicable), (i) multiplied by the face amount of each Letter of Credit as of the date of issuance (or the anniversary or amendment date, as applicable), and (ii) calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day year; and (b) to the LC Issuer, (i) a fronting fee in an amount equal to 12.5 basis points multiplied by the face amount of the particular Letter of Credit and (ii) any and all customary administrative charges (the fees in parts (i) and (ii) of this clause (b) are collectively, the "Letter of Credit Administration Fee"). The Letter of Credit Fee shall be due and payable, in advance, on the date the Letter of Credit is issued, amended, extended or renewed and on the same day of every third (3rd) month thereafter during which such Letter of Credit shall remain issued or outstanding. The Letter of Credit Administration Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with the LC Issuer's issuance, amendment, extension or renewal (including any auto-renewal) of the particular Letter of Credit (as the case may be).

2.4 Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit Application and the LC Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between such Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern subject to the terms of the International Standby Practices 1998, and any subsequent official revision thereof and the terms of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any subsequent official revision thereof. Except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2.5 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any ICF Entity and the LC Issuer, the ICF Entities assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the LC Issuer shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any ICF Entity or other Person or property relating therefrom: (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the particular Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Issuer shall have been notified thereof); (b) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (c) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other Person to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any ICF Entity against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any ICF Entity and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (e) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (f) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (g) the misapplication of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit; or (h) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer, including any act or omission of any Government, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Issuer from liability for the LC Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (a) through (h) of such sentence. In no event shall the LC Issuer be liable to any ICF Entity for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the LC Issuer (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the LC Issuer to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Issuer; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the LC Issuer in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

Each Borrower and Domestic Subsidiary has only one jurisdiction of incorporation or organization (as the case may be). Each Borrower and Domestic Subsidiary is duly qualified and authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities or the character of its properties makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authority; Noncontravention. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2 attached to this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of each Borrower and Guarantor set forth in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of each Guarantor or Borrower set forth in the Stock Security Agreement, Membership Interest Assignment or other comparable collateral document (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, stockholder or member action (as applicable); (b) do not require the consent of any governmental body, agency or authority; (c) will not violate or result in (and with notice or the lapse of time will not violate or result in) the breach of any provision of any Borrower's or Guarantor’s Articles/Certificate of Incorporation, Articles/Certificate of Formation, By-laws, Operating Agreement, Material Contracts existing as of the Closing Date and/or the First Modification Closing Date, other organizational document, or any order or regulation of any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal; (d) will not violate or result in (and with notice or the lapse of time will not violate or result in) any order or regulation of any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal applicable to such Borrower or Guarantor, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (e) except as permitted by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, will not result in the creation of a lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature upon any of the properties or assets of any Borrower or Guarantor. When the Loan Documents are executed and delivered, they will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower and Guarantor, enforceable against each Borrower and Guarantor, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

5.3 Financial Position. The financial statements listed on Schedule 5.3 attached to this Agreement, copies of which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (a) present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the ICF Entities as of the date(s) thereof and the results of the ICF Entities’ operations for the periods indicated therein, (b) were prepared in accordance with GAAP, (c) with respect to all historical data, are true and accurate in all material respects, (d) with respect to all projections, are reasonable, and (e) are not misleading in any material respect.

5.5 Accuracy of Submitted Information; Omissions. As of the date furnished, none of the documents, certificates, information, materials or financial statements furnished to any Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Loan contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (when taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, provided, that with respect to projected financial information, pro forma financial information and information of a general economic or industry nature, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time; it being understood that such information may vary from actual results and that such variations may be material.

(f) The Borrowers shall promptly (and will cause the Guarantors to), and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the same is acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor, notify the Administrative Agent of any Commercial Tort Claim acquired by a Borrower or Guarantor which could reasonably be expected to result in a monetary recovery in excess of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), and unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, such Borrower or Guarantor shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement, granting to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a perfected security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

(h) No Borrower shall (and no Borrower will allow a Guarantor to) reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated as of the Closing Date (or, as applicable, as of the date such Borrower or Guarantor is joined as a party hereto or to the Guaranty Agreement) unless it shall have provided to the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof.

(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to such Borrower's rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

6.15 Financial Covenants of the Borrowers. So long as any Obligation remains outstanding or this Agreement remains in effect, the Borrowers will comply, and will cause the other ICF Entities in the aggregate to comply, with each of the financial covenants set forth below:

(a) Interest Coverage Ratio. To maintain at all times on a consolidated basis for each Fiscal Quarter an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. For purposes of the foregoing, “Interest Coverage Ratio” shall mean, for each measurement period, the ratio of the ICF Entities’ EBITDA to Interest Expense.

(b) Leverage Ratio. To maintain at all times on a consolidated basis for each Fiscal Quarter a Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.00 to 1.00; provided, however, that the Leverage Ratio may be stepped up by the Borrowers to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four (4) Fiscal Quarter period following either (x) a Permitted Acquisition with a purchase price exceeding Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00), or (y) a series of Permitted Acquisitions (within the same Fiscal Quarter) with an aggregate purchase price exceeding Seventy-five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00), commencing with the Fiscal Quarter during which the Permitted Acquisition or series of Permitted Acquisitions occurred; provided, however, that (i) the Leverage Ratio will step back down to 4.00 to 1.00 for at least one (1) Fiscal Quarter period prior to electing another such step up, and (ii) the Leverage Ratio may not be stepped up, as described above, more than three (3) times throughout the term of the Loans. For purposes of the foregoing, "Leverage Ratio" shall mean, for each measurement period, the ratio of the ICF Entities’ Total Funded Debt as of the end of such measurement period to the ICF Entities’ EBITDA. The Leverage Ratio shall be measured on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter throughout the term of the Loan.

Except as otherwise expressly provided above, the financial covenants referenced above shall be calculated and tested quarterly on a trailing twelve (12) month basis. The Leverage Ratio shall include the results of any entity acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition and consolidated into the ICF Entities’ financial statements within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the applicable covenant calculation date. Unless otherwise defined, all financial terms used in this Section 6.15 shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in accordance with GAAP.

6.16 Further Assurances. Each of the Borrowers will provide to the Administrative Agent such further assurances and additional documents regarding the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s security interest therein as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and each of the Borrowers will promptly provide the Administrative Agent with such additional information, reports and statements respecting the business, operations, properties and financial condition of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors as may be required by Law or as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may agree, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, each of the Borrowers agrees to, and will cause each Guarantor to, execute, re-execute, use commercially reasonably efforts to cause third parties involved in the Loans to execute and/or re-execute and to deliver to the Administrative Agent or its legal counsel, as may be deemed appropriate, any document or instrument signed in connection with the Loan(s) which was incorrectly drafted and/or signed, as well as any document or instrument which should have been signed at or prior to the Closing Date or at or prior to the First Modification Closing Date, as applicable, but which was not so signed and delivered. The Borrowers agree to comply with any written request by the Administrative Agent within twenty (20) Business Days (or if such compliance requires more than twenty (20) Business Days, within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed forty-five (45) days (or such longer period of time as agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent), so long as the Borrowers are diligently pursuing such compliance) after receipt by any Borrower of such request.

6.17 Beneficial Ownership. With respect to any Equity Interest assigned, transferred or issued to any Person not currently the holder of such Equity Interests, if the aggregate of such assigned, transferred or issued interests equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of all Equity Interests of any Borrower or any Guarantor, then, if required by Applicable Law (i.e. the Borrowers are not otherwise exempt), the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership, together with such other beneficial ownership information and certifications as requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, within fifteen (15) days of the earlier of the Administrative Agent’s written request and the effective date of such assignment, transfer or issuance.

6.18 Substitute Notes. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent substitute promissory notes, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects, payable to such Person (and such Person’s registered assigns) as may be designated by the Administrative Agent; it being understood and agreed, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding promissory notes shall not exceed the Commitment Amount (plus the Swing Line Commitment Amount) as of the date such substitute note(s) are issued.

6.19 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party jointly and severally (together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party) hereby absolutely unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Hedging Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of Hedging Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 6.19 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.19, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 6.19 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 6.19 constitute, and this Section 6.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Borrower or Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 8
COLLATERAL ACCOUNT

Except for any Borrower, Guarantor or Non-Obligor Affiliate utilizing Permitted Foreign Bank Accounts, the Borrowers will deposit or cause to be deposited into a collateral account (the "Collateral Account") designated by the Administrative Agent, all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances received by the ICF Entities, and shall deposit such items for credit to the Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof and in precisely the form received. Pending such deposit, the Borrowers will not commingle any such items of payment with any of their other funds or property, but will hold them separate and apart. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrowers and Guarantors shall have a period of eighteen (18) months to transition their domestic Deposit Accounts to PNC, and (b) to the extent that an entity is joined as a "Guarantor" pursuant to Section 7.1(d) of this Agreement or otherwise, such Guarantor may maintain its existing bank account(s) for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days after such acquisition, provided that a wire transfer arrangement with the financial institution(s) maintaining such account(s) is in place on or prior to the ninetieth (90^th) day after such acquisition, and such arrangement remains in place at all times thereafter. The transitional deposit accounts described in the immediately preceding section are collectively referred to herein as "Transitional Deposit Accounts"); it being understood and agreed that each Transitional Deposit Account shall (a) be used solely for the deposit/receipt of cash, checks and other remittances owing to the Guarantors from time to time, and (b) be at all times, free and clear of any and all liens claims and encumbrances (other than the security interest of the Administrative Agent granted hereby and Permitted Liens). Each wire transfer arrangement referenced above must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that the Collateral Account and the Transitional Deposit Accounts shall secure the Obligations and hereby grant, assign and transfer (and will cause each Guarantor to grant, assign and transfer) to or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a continuing security interest in all of the Borrowers' and Guarantors’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the Transitional Deposit Accounts, whenever created or established. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may apply funds in the Collateral Account and/or the Transitional Deposit Accounts to any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any principal, interest or other payment(s) not made when due, whether arising under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document, or any other Obligation of the Borrowers or Guarantors, without regard to the origin of the deposits in the account, the beneficial ownership of the funds therein or whether such Obligations are owed jointly with another or severally; the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent's right to deduct sums due under the Loan Documents from the foregoing account(s) shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligation to make all payments required by the Loan Documents as and when required by the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to make any such deductions or any liability whatsoever for any failure to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing, or any other right or remedy of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders at the direction of the Required Lenders, may exercise any or all of the following remedies:

(a) Withhold disbursement of all or any part of the Loan proceeds until such time that such Event of Default is cured to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders and no other Event of Default exists; it being expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any advance or readvance of Loan proceeds, nor shall the LC Issuer have any obligation to issue, amend or renew any Letter of Credit, if any act, event or condition exists or has occurred which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement (as more fully described in Section 1.4 of this Agreement);

(b) Terminate the Lenders' obligation (if any) to make further disbursements of the Loan proceeds;

(c) Declare all principal, interest and other sums owing on the Obligations (including an amount equal to the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) to be immediately due and payable without demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, presentment for payment or further notice of any kind;

(d) Without notice, redirect any and all of the deposits of any and all ICF Entities to the Collateral Account or any other account under the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's exclusive control;

(e) Without notice, offset and apply against all or any part of the Obligations then owing by any Borrower or Guarantor to any Lender, any and all money, credits, stocks, bonds or other securities or property of any ICF Entity of any kind or nature whatsoever on deposit with, held by or in the possession of Administrative Agent or any Lender in any capacity whatsoever, including, without limitation, any deposits with Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of its Affiliates, to the credit of or for the account of any ICF Entity. Notwithstanding any Applicable Law to the contrary (and without limiting the Administrative Agent's and each Lender's right, for the convenience of the Borrowers, to charge the Borrowers' account(s) for any principal, interest or other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document when due), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are authorized at any time to charge the Obligations against any account(s) of any and all ICF Entities, without regard to the origin of deposits to the account or beneficial ownership of the funds. Any and all amounts obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be shared by all of the Lenders ratably, in accordance with each Lender's Percentage; it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that each Lender, as well as the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set-off provided in this subsection (e) of this Section 9.2;

(f) Exercise all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other Applicable Law(s), including, without limitation, the right to (i) require the Borrowers and Guarantors to assemble the Collateral (to the extent that it is movable) and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) enter upon any Borrower's or Guarantor’s premises, peaceably by the Administrative Agent's own means or with legal process, and take possession of, render unusable or dispose of the Collateral on such premises; each Borrower hereby agreeing not to resist or interfere (and agreeing to cause each other ICF Entities not to resist or interfere) with any such action. The Administrative Agent agrees to give the Borrowers and Guarantors (as applicable) written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, and the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, and such notice will be mailed, postage prepaid, to the principal place of business of the Borrowers, at least ten (10) days before the time of any such sale or disposition. Each Borrower (on behalf of itself and any and all other ICF Entities) hereby authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns to (x) sell the Collateral, and (y) declare that each Borrower (on behalf of itself and any and all other ICF Entities) assents to the passage of a decree by a court of proper jurisdiction for the sale of the Collateral. Any such sale pursuant to (x) or (y) above is to be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws and rules of procedure of the Commonwealth of Virginia or other Applicable Law;

(g) Impose the Default Rate with respect to all amounts outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, and/or any of the other Loan Documents from the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default; and/or

(h) Proceed to enforce such other and additional rights and remedies as the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may have hereunder and/or under any of the other Loan Documents, or as may be provided by applicable law.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent may exercise their respective rights under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without exercising the rights or affecting the security afforded by any other Loan Document, and it is further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may (at the direction of the Required Lenders) proceed against all or any portion of the Collateral in such order and at such times as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, sees fit; and each Borrower (on behalf of itself and any and all other ICF Entities) hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, all benefit of valuation, appraisement, marshaling of assets and all exemptions under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or any other state, district or territory of the United States. Furthermore, if any Borrower or Guarantor shall default in the performance when due of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent, without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers (and without any grace or cure period) and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any default hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, may (but shall be under no obligation to) perform the same for each Borrower's and/or ICF Entity’s account, and any monies expended in so doing shall be chargeable to the Borrowers with interest, at the highest Default Rate, until the Event of Default is cured, and added to the indebtedness secured by the Collateral.

All sums paid or advanced by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender to the extent incurred pursuant to this Agreement) in connection with the foregoing or otherwise in connection with the Loan, and all court costs and expenses of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (and fees and expenses resulting from the taking, holding or disposition of the Collateral) incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Borrowers upon demand and shall become a part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral. The Borrowers agree to bear the expense of each lien search, property and judgment report or other form of Collateral ownership investigation as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, shall deem necessary or desirable to assure or further assure to the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent their respective interests in the Collateral.

10.5 Administration by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may rely upon any notice or other communication of any nature (written or oral, including telephone conversations, whether or not such notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the proper party or parties, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any person giving such notice or other communication.

(b) The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including in-house counsel for the Administrative Agent), independent public accountants and any other experts selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(d) The Administrative Agent may fail or refuse to take any action unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction from time to time against any and all amounts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any portion of such amounts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of regularly scheduled principal or interest), unless the Administrative Agent has received from a Lender or a Borrower a written notice describing the Event of Default. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each Lender, unless such notice shall have been addressed and/or issued to all of the Lenders.

10.6 Lenders Not Relying on the Administrative Agent or Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges as follows:

(a) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Lender has made any representations or warranties to it, and no act taken hereafter by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender to it;

(b) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(c) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, make its own decisions to take or not take action under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

(d) no Lender nor any LC Issuer, nor any of their Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Person’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 1020.220 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers or Guarantors, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Law.

10.7 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger (each solely in their capacity as such) and the Administrative Agent's and each Lead Arranger's respective directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, and without limitation of the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably in accordance with each Lender's Percentage, from and against any and all amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent or such other Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such other Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Loan; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such other Person for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnity, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent, as successor administrative agent to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, hereby succeeds to and is vested with all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former administrative agent, without further act, deed or conveyance. Each Lender hereby expressly represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has no claim, action, demand or other proceeding against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as successor administrative agent to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania) in connection with or a result of any claim that such Lender may have against Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania in its capacity as administrative agent under the Existing Loan Agreement; and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever for any actions taken or omitted by Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania as administrative agent under the Existing Loan Agreement, and each Lender hereby releases the Administrative Agent from any and all such liability, if any.

10.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its commitment and the Obligations owing to it, PNC Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Loan Document as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it was not the Administrative Agent. The terms "Lender," "holders of Notes" and like terms shall include PNC Bank in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates may, without liability to account for, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or equity interests in, act as trustee under indentures of and engage in any other business with any ICF Entity and any Affiliate of any ICF Entity, as though PNC Bank was not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

10.9 Holders of Notes. Without limiting the requirements of Section 12.11 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may deem and treat any Lender which is the payee of a Note as the owner and holder of such Note for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice evidencing such transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any authority, direction or consent of any Person who at the time of giving such authority, direction or consent was a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on each present and subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of any Note or Notes payable to such Lender or issued in exchange therefor.

10.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers, subject to appointment of a successor Administrative Agent (and such appointees acceptance of appointment) as below provided in this Section 10.10. Additionally, the Administrative Agent may be removed for cause by all of the Lenders (other than the Administrative Agent, if the Administrative Agent is then a Lender), or in the absence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers may request the Administrative Agent's resignation, if removal or resignation, as applicable, is requested in writing (which wording must specifically identify the "cause" for removal), and ten (10) days' prior written notice of removal or resignation is provided to the Administrative Agent and Borrowers (or Lenders, if applicable). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which event the Administrative Agent shall have the right) to immediately appoint, as successor administrative agent, another Lender; provided that such Lender is a commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($500,000,000.00) (a "Qualifying Person"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Borrowers fail to immediately appoint such successor administrative agent within five (5) Business Days of such resignation or removal, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint such successor on behalf of the Lenders. In such event, the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal shall not be effective until the successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted its appointment, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that no Qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice, and the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent, without further act, deed or conveyance. Upon the effective date of resignation or removal of the retiring Administrative Agent and payment of all amounts then due and payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, such Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If for any reason, at any time, there is no Administrative Agent hereunder, then during such period, the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the Administrative Agent's rights and perform its duties hereunder, except that (a) all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent shall be given to each Lender, and (b) all payments to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to the Borrowers or the Lender for whose account such payment is made.

10.11 Additional Agents. If the Administrative Agent shall from time to time deem it necessary or advisable to engage other agents for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the interests of the Lenders, then the Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement and all other instruments and agreements necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to constitute another commercial bank or trust company, or one or more other Persons approved by the Administrative Agent, to act as co-Administrative Agent or a separate agent with respect to any part of the Collateral, with such powers as may be provided in such supplemental agreement, and with the power to vest in such bank, trust company or other Person (as such co-Administrative Agent or separate agent, as the case may be), any properties, rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.12 Calculations. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any calculation, apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith. If such calculation, apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled, with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, if the amount due was not paid by any Borrower or Guarantor, to recover such amount from such Borrower or Guarantor (subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement), with interest thereon at the Applicable Interest Rate.

10.13 Funding by the Administrative Agent.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent alone shall be entitled to make all advances in connection with the Loan and shall receive all payments and other receipts relating to the Loan; it being understood, however, that the Administrative Agent has reserved the right not to advance any amounts to the Borrowers which the Administrative Agent has not received from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the date and amount of any requested advance, and if such notification is received by 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time on any given Business Day, the Lenders shall provide the required funds to the Administrative Agent no later than the close of business (i) on such Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans and (ii) on the date specified for payments, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans. At any time as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall pay to each other such amounts (the "Equalization Payments") as may be necessary to cause each Lender to own its applicable Percentage of the Loan and otherwise implement the terms and provisions of this Agreement; it being understood that each Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on amounts advanced by it only from the date of such Lender's advance of funds. The obligation of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make Equalization Payments shall not be affected by a bankruptcy filing by any ICF Entity, the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other act, occurrence or event whatsoever, whether the same occurs before, on or after the date on which an Equalization Payment is required to be made. All Equalization Payments shall be made by 5:00 p.m. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time on the date such payment is required, provided that notice of such Equalization Payment shall have been given to the party obligated to make such payment by 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time; otherwise such Equalization Payment shall be made on the next Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender no later than the close of business on the Business Day before the Business Day on which an advance requested by the Borrowers is to be made, that such Lender will not make its ratable share of such advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make its ratable share of the advance, and in reliance upon such assumption the Administrative Agent may (but in no circumstances shall be required to) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment to the Administrative Agent when required, such Lender shall pay such amount on demand (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount on demand, the Borrowers shall arrange for the repayment of such amount to the Administrative Agent), together with interest for the Administrative Agent's own account for each day from and including the date of the Administrative Agent's payment, to and including the date of repayment to the Administrative Agent (before and after judgment). Interest (i) if paid by such Lender (A) for each day from and including the date of the Administrative Agent's payment to and including the second Business Day thereafter, shall accrue at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day, and (B) for each day thereafter, shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate; and (ii) if paid by the Borrowers, shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate. All payments to the Administrative Agent under this Section shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in the preamble of this Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent), in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, withholding, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature.

(c) All borrowings under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Percentages (except to the extent advanced (i) as a Swing Line Loan, or (ii) by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender as provided in subsection (a) or (b) above). It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to meet its obligation to make advances hereunder, and that each Lender shall be obligated to make advances required to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its advances hereunder.

(d) Each payment and prepayment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be distributed first to the Swing Line Lender for application to any Swing Line Outstandings, and then to each Lender entitled to share in such payment, ratably in accordance with each Lender's Percentage. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(e) of this Agreement, any Lender who has failed to fund its Percentage of any advance under the Loan or purchase its Percentage of any risk participation in any Letter of Credit shall not be entitled to share in any such payment(s) until such time as the funding deficiency caused thereby, together with interest thereon (as provided in subsection (b) above), has been paid to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Payments from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders from time to time. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full on such date and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent upon its demand therefor such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of such Lender's Percentage of payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender(s) such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lender(s); provided, however, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from the other Lender(s) shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender's required repayment, to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 10.13(e), to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise all of its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(f) No Lender nor any Affiliate of any Lender shall collect any separate remuneration (i.e., in addition to any remuneration paid on a pro rata basis to all Lenders) as an inducement for such Lender entering into any waiver or amendment to this Agreement.

10.14 Benefit of Article. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article 10, no ICF Entity shall have any rights under any of the provisions of this Article 10; it being understood that the provisions of this Article 10 are not in limitation of any right, remedy, power, duty, obligation or liability which the Administrative Agent would have to or against any ICF Entity.

10.15 Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each examination report (each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or at the request of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports;

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the ICF Entities and will rely significantly upon the ICF Entities’ books and records, as well as on representations of the ICF Entities’ personnel;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding the ICF Entities and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.25 of this Agreement; and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers or Guarantors, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such other Person for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnity, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by the Borrowers to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, it being understood and agreed that the items required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b) of this Agreement shall be posted to Intralinks promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent; and (y) to the extent that the Administrative Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from the Borrowers, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request the Administrative Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent promptly shall request of the Borrowers the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender.

10.16 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Exhibit 3 attached to this Agreement, (b) the Borrowers or Guarantors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 12.8 or Section 12.19 of this Agreement, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall have paid, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal of its Loans and Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), in each case, however, net of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any other Lender as a result of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender (if applicable); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation pursuant to Sections 12.8 and 12.19 of this Agreement or pursuant to Exhibit 3 attached to this Agreement, or payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 12.8 and 12.19 of this Agreement or pursuant to Exhibit 3 attached to this Agreement, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure or refusal to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the applicable assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure of such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit 8 to this Agreement, shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender, and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 10.16 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.2(e) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions to advance hereunder were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Exposure owed to, all non-defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit borrowing owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Revolving Facility Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the Letter of Credit Exposure of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral.

(C) With respect to any Revolving Facility Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such non-defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s fronting exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Facility of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-defaulting Lender as a result of such non-defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Swing Line Outstandings and (y) second, cash collateralize the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Exposure.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender and LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Letter of Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto.

10.18 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans (hereinafter defined) in connection with such Lender’s Loan advances or Loan commitments hereunder,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform such Lender’s Loan advances, Loan commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of such Lender’s Loan advances, Loan commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of such Lender’s Loan advances, Loan commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any Guarantor, that none of the Administrative Agent or Lead Arrangers nor any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Loan commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent and Lead Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to Loan advances, Loan commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended Loan advances or Loan commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loan advances or the Loan commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Furthermore, each Borrower, on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, hereby reaffirms its irrevocable appointment of the Administrative Agent, as its agent and attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, having full power and authority, in its own name, in the name of any Lender(s), in the name of any Borrower or otherwise (but at the cost and expense of the Borrowers and without notice to any Borrower) and regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or any act, event or condition which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred, to (i) file financing statements and continuation statements covering the Collateral; (ii) charge against any banking account of any ICF Entity any item of payment credited to any ICF Entity’s account which is dishonored by the drawee or maker thereof; and/or (iii) endorse the name of any ICF Entity upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against any Account Debtor.

11.2 Lockbox. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Borrower, on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to receive and collect any amount or amounts due or to become due on account of any Receivables and, at its discretion, to apply the same to the repayment of the Notes, and each Borrower represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that, except where a Permitted Foreign Bank Account is being used, it has established, or upon demand made by the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, will establish and shall continually maintain on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects, one or more lockboxes (and, if required by the Administrative Agent, one or more blocked accounts) for the collection of Receivables. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Administrative Agent in writing, any checks or other remittances received by any Borrower or Guarantor in payment of the Receivables shall be held in trust by each Borrower or Guarantor for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

11.3 Other Agreements. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and without limiting any other restrictions or provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower, on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, will (a) on demand, subject to any confidentiality and secrecy requirements imposed by any Government agency, make available in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shipping documents and delivery receipts evidencing the shipment of goods which gave rise to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account, contract right or chattel paper, completion certificates or other proof of the satisfactory performance of services which gave rise to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account, contract right or chattel paper, and each Borrower's copy of any written contract or order from which a sale or lease of inventory, an account, contract right or chattel paper arose; and (b) when requested, advise the Administrative Agent when an Account Debtor returns or refuses to retain any goods, the sale or lease of which gave rise to an account, contract right or chattel paper, and of any delay in delivery or performance, or claims made in regard to any sale or lease of inventory, account, contract right or chattel paper. Upon reasonable notice, all such records will be available for examination by authorized agents of the Administrative Agent.

It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required or obligated in any manner to make any inquiries as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claims or take any other action to collect or enforce a payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or to which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent or Lenders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

12.2 Waiver. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Administrative Agent or any Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have waived either the right to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or the right to declare a default for failure to make payment of any such other Obligations.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior agreements and understandings; it being expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement is a complete amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement, the terms and conditions of which have been superseded and replaced in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is given as a continuation, modification and extension of the Existing Loan Agreement and shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Loan Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect for so long as the Borrowers shall be indebted hereunder or under the Notes, and thereafter until the Lenders shall have actually received written notice of the termination hereof from the Borrowers and all Obligations incurred or contracted before receipt of such notice shall have been fully paid, and all commitments to lend or issue Letters of Credit have terminated.

12.5 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement provides for the extension of financial accommodations by each Lender, in its capacity as lender, to the Borrowers, in their capacity as borrowers, and for the payment of interest and repayment of the Obligations by the Borrowers. Certain provisions herein, such as those relating to compliance with the financial covenants, delivery to the Administrative Agent of financial statements, and compliance with other affirmative and negative covenants are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' interests in assuring repayment of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as permitting or obligating the Lenders or Administrative Agent to act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to any Borrower, as permitting or obligating the Lenders or Administrative Agent to control any Borrower or to conduct any Borrower's operations, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties other than as explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choosing in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and to obtain the advice of such counsel with respect to all matters contained herein, including, without limitation, the provision in this Agreement for waiver of trial by jury. Each Borrower further acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent decision to request the Obligations and execute and deliver this Agreement.

12.6 Waiver of Jury Trial and Certain Damages. Each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity), the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby (a) covenants and agrees not to elect a trial by jury of any issue triable by a jury, and (b) waives any right to trial by jury and any right to claim consequential, punitive, incidental or special damages fully to the extent that any such right shall now or hereafter exist. This waiver of right to trial by jury and right to claim consequential, punitive, incidental or special damages is separately given by each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity), the Administrative Agent and each Lender, knowingly and voluntarily, and this waiver is intended to encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a jury trial or the right to claim consequential, punitive, incidental or special damages would otherwise accrue. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized and requested to submit this Agreement to any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties hereto, so as to serve as conclusive evidence of each herein contained waiver of the right to jury trial and right to claim consequential, punitive, incidental or special damages. Further, each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity) hereby certifies that no representative or agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the Administrative Agent's counsel) has represented, expressly or otherwise, to the undersigned that the Administrative Agent or Lenders will not seek to enforce this provision waiving the right to a trial by jury or any right to claim consequential, punitive, incidental or special damages.

12.7 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. Any judicial proceeding brought against any Borrower or ICF Entity with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity) accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid court, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered by such court in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity) irrevocably designates and appoints the General Counsel of the Primary Operating Company, whose address is c/o ICF Consulting Group, Inc., 9300 Lee Highway, Fairfax, Virginia 22031, as its agent to receive on its behalf service of all process in any such proceeding in any court in the Commonwealth of Virginia, such service being hereby acknowledged by each Borrower (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity) to be effective and binding on it in every respect. A copy of any such process so served shall be mailed by registered or certified mail to the Borrowers at the address to which notices are to be addressed in accordance with this Agreement, except that any failure to mail such copy shall not affect the validity of service of process. The Borrowers shall at all times maintain (and shall cause each other ICF Entity to maintain) an agent for service of process pursuant to this provision. If any Borrower or other ICF Entity fails to appoint such an agent, or if such agent refuses to accept service, such Borrower hereby agrees that service upon it by mail shall constitute sufficient notice. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to bring proceedings against any Borrower or other ICF Entity in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

12.8 Changes in Capital Requirements; Increased Costs.

(a) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or person controlling the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its, or such controlling person's capital or liquidity as a consequence of its commitments or the loans made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender is reduced to a level below that which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such controlling person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall immediately pay directly to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Lender (as the case may be), additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such controlling person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Administrative Agent as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable; or

(b) except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit 3 attached hereto with respect to increased costs incurred in connection with LIBOR Rate Loans, if any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the LC Issuer;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the LC Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than franchise taxes, branch profits taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender's net income or receipts and any Taxes to which Section 12.19 applies, including U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the LC Issuer (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers shall, within fifteen (15) days of written demand therefor, pay to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or the LC Issuer shall have made written demand on the Borrowers therefor (with a concurrent copy sent to the Administrative Agent) within nine (9) months of the date on which such Lender or the LC Issuer shall have suffered or incurred the increased costs or reduction in the rate of return or amounts received, accompanied by reasonably satisfactory evidence thereof.

For purposes of this Section 12.8, any request, rule, regulation, guideline, interpretation or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented under or in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall also constitute a change in law.

12.9 Other Agents, Arrangers, Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a "syndication agent", "documentation agent", "co-agent", "book manager", "book running manager", "lead manager", "arranger", "lead arranger" or "co-arranger" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

12.10 Modification and Waiver. Subject to Section 10.3 of this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any term, condition, covenant or agreement hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but that may be accomplished only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The Administrative Agent may sign on behalf of the Required Lenders or Lenders any document, instrument or agreement, including without limitation, any amendment, modification, consent or waiver if then authorized to do so by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as the case may be), which shall be binding on the Required Lenders or all Lenders accordingly.

12.11 Transferability.

(a) No Borrower or Guarantor shall assign any of its rights, interests or Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) No Lender shall assign its interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Person, without the prior written consent of both the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; provided that (i) the Borrowers' consent shall not be required for assignments from one Lender to another Lender or to its affiliates or at any time during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless the Borrowers shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Subject to obtaining such consent (as required), any Lender may assign its interest, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business, at any time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that (A) the purchaser of any such interest is an Eligible Assignee; (B) prior written notice of such sale or assignment, which notice must identify the name, address and contact person of the Eligible Assignee, shall have been issued by such transferring Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; (C) the Dollar Equivalent of the Percentage of the transferring Lender being assigned equals or exceeds Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00); (D) the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit 8 to this Agreement; and (E) if the proposed assignee of the transferring Lender is not an Affiliate of the transferring Lender or another Lender hereunder, an assignment fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the assignment.

(c) Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.8, 12.19, and 12.20 of this Agreement and Exhibit 3 attached to this Agreement with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note(s), the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note (or Notes, as applicable) to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) below.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and their Percentage of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, participations under Letters of Credit and other amounts due hereunder, or owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans or Commitments) or the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than (A) any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof, or (C) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit thereof, a natural Person)) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Percentage of the Loans (including such Lender's participations in the Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In the event any Lender shall sell any such participation pursuant to this Section 12.11(e), such Lender shall maintain a register of such participation interests reflecting the beneficial owner of each such participation interest, provided that such Lender shall only be required to disclose the information contained in such register to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers when necessary to establish that the Loan reflected thereby is in "registered form", as such term is defined for purposes of the Code.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment hereunder than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Record Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.12 Governing Law; Binding Effect. This Agreement and all disputes arising therefrom shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to conflict of laws principles) and shall be binding upon each Borrower and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

12.13 [Reserved].

12.14 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all obligations and liabilities hereunder.

12.15 Materiality. Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, determinations regarding the materiality of any act, event, condition or circumstance shall be in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent.

12.16 Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall be entitled to assume that any and all consents, approvals or notices issued or granted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement were, to the extent necessary, authorized by the Required Lenders, all Lenders under a particular facility or all of the Lenders, as applicable.

12.17 The Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby notify the Borrowers (on its own behalf and for and on behalf of each other ICF Entity) that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the ICF Entities, which information includes the name and address of the ICF Entities and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to identify the ICF Entities in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Each party hereto hereby agrees to be bound by its facsimile or PDF signature.

12.19 Taxes. All payments by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes, branch profits taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the Administrative Agent's and/or any Lender's net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called "Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrowers will:

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c) pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Lender (as the case may be), such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Lender (as the case may be), will equal the full amount the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

If the Borrowers fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

This Section 12.19 shall not apply to, and the Borrowers shall not be required to make any additional payment with respect to, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

Promptly upon receipt of written request, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent any information, document, or certificate, properly completed and in a manner prescribed by law or reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in order to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to make a payment under this Agreement or the Loan Documents without any withholding on account of any Tax that might otherwise be required to be withheld under Applicable Law (but only to the extent that exemption from withholding is permitted under Applicable Law), and each Lender shall strictly comply with any disclosure or information reporting requirements (including entering into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) that are required to secure an exemption from any United States withholding taxes relating to the Facilities.

12.20 Indemnity.

(a) Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, advisors, officers, employees and agents, of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by such indemnified party or asserted against such indemnified party by any Person (including, without limitation, any ICF Entity) resulting from (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its directors, officers, employees and agents only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any ICF Entity, or any environmental liability related in any way to any ICF Entity, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any ICF Entity, and regardless of whether any indemnified party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any indemnified party, be available to the extent that such Losses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party or (y) result from a claim brought by any ICF Entity against an indemnified party for a material breach in bad faith of such indemnified party's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such ICF Entity has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action by a third party, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection only if the indemnifying party is unable to defend such actions as a result of such failure to so notify. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party cannot settle any action for which it has assumed the defense without the indemnified party’s express written consent.

(c) Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and each ICF Entity, hereby expressly represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that it has no claim, action, demand or other proceeding against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as successor administrative agent to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania) in connection with or a result of any claim that such ICF Entity may have against Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania in its capacity as administrative agent under the Existing Loan Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any actions taken or omitted by Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania as administrative agent under the Existing Loan Agreement, and each ICF Entity hereby releases the Administrative Agent from any and all such liability, if any. Additionally, each Borrower hereby releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against all Losses resulting from a claim by a former lender (not a Lender party to this Agreement) under the Existing Loan Agreement made against the Administrative Agent, as successor administrative agent to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, for any actions taken or omitted by the former administrative agent under the Existing Loan Agreement.

12.21 Time. Whenever the Borrowers shall be required to make any payment, or perform any act, on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made, or such act may be performed, on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

12.22 Publicity. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their affiliates may place "tombstone" advertisements (which may include any of the ICF Entities’, the Lender's or the Administrative Agent's trade names or corporate logos and a brief description of the transaction) in publications or other media of their choice (including without limitation "e-tombstones" published or otherwise circulated in electronic form and related hyperlinks to the Borrower's website) at its own expense. In addition, information that is publicly available about the transaction may be publicized by way of disclosure to market data collectors and similar service providers to the financing community. Any other publicity of the transaction by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall require the prior written consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

12.23 Electronic Execution of Loan Documents. The words "execution", "signed", "signature" and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.24 Internet Transmittal of Information.

(a) General.

(i) Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other ICF Entity to, be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining at its expense proper computer, internet and other requirements necessary to electronically transmit to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any Required Information. All computer, internet and other requirements must conform to standards as may be reasonably established from time to time by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any failure, interruption or delay in the performance of the internet; and any such failure, interruption or delay does not excuse the Borrowers from otherwise providing timely Required Information to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(ii) By agreeing to transmit electronically Required Information via the internet in an unsecured and unencrypted form, each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, assumes that the electronic transmission of the Required Information could be obtained or accessed by unauthorized third parties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes liability for the unauthorized or inadvertent access, use or disclosure of Required Information should such disclosure occur by error in transmission by any ICF Entity or reply thereto by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or otherwise.

(iii) Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, acknowledges that all Required Information reported to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders via the internet is for business/commercial purposes and not for personal family or household purposes.

(b) Security.

(i) Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, acknowledges, consents, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders do not and will not maintain security procedures to insure that the Required Information at the time of transmission to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be secure, or otherwise secure from unauthorized access or misappropriation and use of such Required Information by unauthorized third parties via the internet; it being expressly understood and agreed by each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, that by execution hereof, it expressly assumes such risk and will hold harmless and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from any claim or expense associated therewith, including any such claim or expense arising as a result of the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's internet responsive reply to such Required Information misappropriated and used by unauthorized parties, except to the extent that such claim or expense is the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(ii) Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, agrees that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may send to the ICF Entities electronically via the internet communications concerning or required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrowers' internet address for this purpose (which shall be the same for the other ICF Entities) shall be as set forth in Section 12.3 of this Agreement. Each Borrower further agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will be liable in any way in the event that properly addressed information is intercepted, appropriated or utilized by unauthorized Persons either in transmission or at each Borrower's place of business.

(iii) Any of the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any Lender shall be authorized to change its internet address for purposes of this Agreement, provided such change shall be communicated in writing and acknowledged in writing by the other party hereto as an amendment to this Agreement.

(c) Electronic Record/Reporting to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Borrowers, on their own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, may provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders Required Information by means of the internet. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to refuse such Required Information or amend such information per the terms and conditions described herein or require in hard copy all or any part of any Required Information electronically provided, but any such refusal shall not affect the status of any refused information as having been received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. With each submission of information to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the internet, each Borrower certifies, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, that such information provided is true, correct and complete as represented. An electronic record of the Required Information shall be maintained in the form submitted by each Borrower and shall be admissible in any court of law or other proceeding, legal or administrative, as evidence thereof without further need or requirement for authentication, together with any amendment of such Required Information performed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

(d) Electronic Signature. Required Information provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by means of the internet will require an electronic signature in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Required Information submitted electronically to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be denied legal effect or enforceability because it is in electronic form or does not contain an electronic signature.

(e) Internet Availability and Confidentiality.

(i) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Borrower shall endeavor to maintain its internet system available to each other. Should the system be unavailable from time to time, neither the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any Borrower will have any responsibility to the other for such downtime; and the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Borrower will report each to the other any apparent malfunction of the system immediately to the other; provided, however, system unavailability does not excuse any Borrower from timely reporting the Required Information to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as required by the Loan Documents.

(ii) The internet is an unencrypted, unsecure link between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers. All information exchanged by means of the internet is unsecure and will not be encrypted. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that they will take all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the Required Information received from any Borrower; however, neither the Administrative Agent nor such Lender assumes responsibility for inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized or fraudulent use or access by third parties at the time of and following transmission to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(f) Electronic Reporting. The Borrowers, on their own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the electronic reporting of certain information authorized herein shall constitute an agreement under the Uniform Electronic Transfer Act (the "Electronic Transfer Act"), in effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia; and any dispute or controversy relating to such reporting shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of the Electronic Transfer Act. With respect to such reporting, the Borrowers, on their own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for (i) any failure, interruption or delay in the performance of the internet; (ii) any unauthorized, inadvertent or fraudulent access, use or disclosure to third parties of such information should it occur by error of transmission of the ICF Entities or reply thereto by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or otherwise; or (iii) the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's failure to maintain security measures at the time of transmission or reply thereto to prevent unauthorized access, misappropriation and use of such information by third parties, except to the extent such failure arises out of the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrowers, on their own behalf and on behalf of each other ICF Entity, expressly assume the risk of unauthorized access, use or misappropriation by third parties of such information transmitted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders via the internet and will hold harmless and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from any claim or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, associated therewith, except to the extent such claim or expense is the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction

12.25 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrowers or any other ICF Entity relating to the Borrowers or any other ICF Entity or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any other ICF Entity, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any other ICF Entity after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or any other ICF Entity, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

12.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising here under which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any the applicable Resolution Authority.

12.27 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 12.27, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
