to which the Parties may share responsibility pursuant to Article III, the portion of such Refund to which each Party will be entitled shall be determined by comparing the amount of payments made by a Party (or any of member of such Party’s
Group) to a Taxing Authority or to the other Party (and reduced by the amount of payments received from the other Party) pursuant to Articles II and III hereof with the Tax liability of such Party as determined under Section 2.06, taking into
account the facts as utilized for purposes of claiming such Refund. If a Party (or any member of its Tax Group) receives a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, such Party shall pay the amount to which such other
Party is entitled (net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Party) within ten (10) days
after the receipt of the Refund. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(a), to the extent that a Party (or any member of its Tax Group)
applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would
have been payable by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 4.01, such Party shall pay such amount to the other Party no later than ten (10) days following the date on which the overpayment is reflected on a filed Tax
Return. 
 (c) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 4.01 is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or in a Tax
Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 4.01 and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made. 

Section 4.02 Carrybacks. Except to the extent otherwise consented to by Cogint or prohibited by applicable Law, SpinCo (or the
appropriate member of its Tax Group) shall elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo the carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Closing Period to any Pre-Closing Period or
Straddle Period with respect to members of the SpinCo Group (a “Carryback”). In the event that SpinCo (or the appropriate member of its Tax Group) is prohibited by applicable Law to relinquish,


  
 10 













 
waive or otherwise forgo a Carryback (or Cogint consents to a Carryback), Cogint shall cooperate with SpinCo, at SpinCo’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Taxing Authority such
Refund as reasonably would result from such Carryback, to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to such Carryback, and shall pay over to SpinCo the amount of such Refund, net of any Taxes imposed on the receipt of such Refund and any
other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, within ten (10) days after such Refund is received. 

Section 4.03 Tax Attributes. 

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Date, Cogint shall reasonably determine in good faith the allocation of Tax
Attributes, as well as any limitations on the use thereof, arising in a Pre-Closing Period to the Cogint Group and the SpinCo Group in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations including Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.1502-9T(c), 1.1502-21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A, and 1.1502-95 (and any applicable state, local and foreign Tax Laws). Subject to the
preceding sentence, Cogint shall be entitled to make any determination as to (A) basis, and (B) valuation, and shall make such determinations reasonably and in good faith and consistent with Past Practice, where applicable. Cogint shall
consult in good faith with SpinCo regarding such allocation of Tax Attributes and determinations as to basis and valuation, and shall consider in good faith any comments received in writing from SpinCo regarding such allocation and determinations.
Cogint and SpinCo hereby agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Closing Periods consistently with the determination of the allocation of Tax Attributes pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) unless otherwise required by a Final Determination. 

(b) To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction
or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 4.03(a). 
 Section 4.04
Timing Differences. If pursuant to a Final Determination an Adjustment (i) increases the amount of liability for any Taxes for which a member of the Cogint Group is responsible hereunder and a Tax Benefit is made allowable to SpinCo or a
member of its Tax Group for any Tax period after the Distribution Date, which Tax Benefit would not have arisen or been allowable but for such Adjustment, and which Tax Benefit reduces Taxes in respect of a Tax period for which SpinCo or a member of
its Tax Group is liable (and for which no member of the Cogint Group is liable) or (ii) increases the amount of liability for any Taxes for which a member of the SpinCo Group is responsible hereunder and a Tax Benefit is made allowable to
Cogint or a member of its Tax Group for any Tax period prior to the Distribution Date, which Tax Benefit would not have arisen or been allowable but for such Adjustment, and which Tax Benefit reduces Taxes in respect of a Tax period which Cogint or
a member of its Tax Group is liable (and for which no member of the SpinCo Group is liable), then SpinCo or Cogint, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Cogint or SpinCo, as appropriate, within thirty (30) days of the date that
such paying Party (or any of its Tax Group members) actually receives such Tax Benefit (determined by comparing its (and its Tax Group members’) Tax liability with and without the Tax consequences of the Adjustment), which payment shall not
exceed the increase in the amount of liability for any Taxes resulting from such Adjustment, for which a member of the Cogint Group or SpinCo Group, as the case may be, is responsible hereunder. 

Section 4.05 Tax Benefit Determinations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if and to the extent a Party owns,
directly or indirectly, less than 100% of the equity of any entity and as a result of such less-than-100% ownership interest in the entity such entity is not a member of the Party’s Tax Group, then the
amount of the Tax Benefit payment under Article IV shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account the percentage ownership (based on value) of any such entity, and shall be determined and due and owing even if such entity is not a member of
the Tax Group of a Party. 
 Section 4.06 Supporting Documentation. If a Party seeks any payment from the other Party pursuant
to Article IV, the requesting Party shall furnish such other Party reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for, and the calculation of, the amount of such payment obligation. If such other Party disagrees with


  
 11 













 
the determination of the amount of the payment obligation set forth therein, any disputes shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 7.01 

ARTICLE V 
 TAX
PROCEEDINGS 
 Section 5.01 Notification of Tax Proceedings. Within ten (10) days after an Indemnified Party becomes
aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to Taxes for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to Article III, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Tax Proceeding, and thereafter shall
promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding
within such ten (10) day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. 
 Section 5.02 Tax Proceeding Procedures Generally. 

(a) Tax Proceedings relating to Cogint Consolidated Returns. Cogint shall be entitled to contest, compromise, control and settle any
adjustment or deficiency proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Cogint Consolidated Return; provided that to the extent such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount
of Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible pursuant to Article III less the amount payable to SpinCo pursuant to Section 4.04, Cogint shall (i) defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith and (ii) shall keep SpinCo informed
in a timely manner of all actions proposed to be taken by Cogint with respect to such Tax Proceeding (or to the extent practicable the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible pursuant to Article III),
(C) shall permit SpinCo to participate (at SpinCo’s sole expense) in all proceedings with respect to such tax Proceeding (or to the extent practicable the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible
pursuant to Article III), and (D) shall not settle any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of SpinCo, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(b) Tax Proceedings relating to Other Returns. The Preparing Party (in the case of a Mixed Business Tax Return) or the Single Business
Return Preparing Party (in the case of a Single Business Return) shall be entitled to contest, compromise, control and settle any adjustment or deficiency proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Mixed
Business Tax Return or Single Business Return; provided that to the extent such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount of Taxes for which the Reviewing Party or Single Business Return Reviewing Party (as
applicable) is responsible pursuant to Article III, the controlling party shall (A) defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, (B) shall keep the non-controlling party informed in a
timely manner of all actions proposed to be taken by the controlling party with respect to such Tax Proceeding (or to the extent practicable the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which the
non-controlling party is responsible pursuant to Article III), (C) shall permit the non-controlling party to participate (at the
non-controlling party’s sole expense) in all proceedings with respect to such Tax Proceeding (or to the extent practicable the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to Taxes for which the non-controlling party is responsible pursuant to Article III), and (D) shall not settle any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the non-controlling
party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 ARTICLE VI 

COOPERATION 

Section 6.01 General Cooperation. 

(a) The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests
in writing from another Party hereto, or from an agent, representative or advisor to such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for Refunds, Tax Proceedings, and calculations of amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with Taxes of either of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries covered by this Agreement and in connection with any financial reporting matter
relating to Taxes (a “Tax Matter”). Such cooperation shall include the provision of any information reasonably necessary or helpful in connection with a Tax Matter (“Information”) and shall include, without
limitation: 
 (i) the provision of any Tax Returns, other than any Cogint Consolidated Return, of the Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation and other information relating to such Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents
relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities (or, in the case of any Mixed Business Income Tax Return, to the extent practicable, the portion of such Tax Return that relates to Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible pursuant to
this Agreement); 
 (ii) the execution of any document (including any power of attorney) in connection with any Tax
Proceedings of either of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, or the filing of a Tax Return or a Refund claim of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries; 

(iii) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation in connection with a Tax Matter; 

(iv) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any Tax Returns (including accompanying schedules, related
work papers, and documents) (other than any Cogint Consolidated Return), documents, books, records or other information in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns of either of the Parties or their Subsidiaries (or, in the case of any Mixed
Business Income Tax Return, to the extent practicable, the portion of such Tax Return, documents, books, records or other information that relates to Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible pursuant to this Agreement); and 

(v) the making of each Party’s employees, advisors, and facilities available on a reasonable and mutually convenient
basis in connection with the foregoing matters. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall be
required to provide the other Party or any of such other Party’s Subsidiaries access to or copies of information, documents or personnel if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In the event that
either Party determines that the provision of any information or documents to the other Party or any of such other Party’s Subsidiaries could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with its obligations hereunder in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 

(c) The Parties shall perform all actions required or permitted under this Agreement in good faith. If one Party requests the cooperation of
the other Party pursuant to this Section 6.01 or any other provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the requesting Party shall reimburse such other Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such other Party in complying with the requesting Party’s request.

 Section 6.02 Retention of Records. Cogint and SpinCo shall retain or cause to be
retained all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records or other documents relating thereto in their possession, in each case that relate to a Pre-Closing Period, until the later of the six-year anniversary of the filing of the relevant Tax Return or, upon the written request of the other Party, for a reasonable time thereafter (the “Retention Period”). Upon the expiration of the
Retention Period, the foregoing information may be destroyed or disposed of by the Party retaining such documentation or other information unless the other Party otherwise requests in writing before the expiration of the Retention Period. In such
case, the Party retaining such documentation or other information shall deliver such materials to the other Party or continue to retain such materials, in either case at the expense of such other Party. 

ARTICLE VII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 7.01 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute between the Parties as to any matter covered by this Agreement, the
Parties shall appoint a nationally recognized public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both of the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect
to the disputed items based solely on representations made by Cogint and SpinCo and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a
determination within the ranges submitted by the Parties. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm, and agree that all
decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this
Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Past Practices of Cogint and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in
reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The total costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated and borne between Cogint and SpinCo based upon that percentage of such fees and expenses equal to the percentage of the dollar
value of the proposed determinations submitted to the Accounting Firm determined in favor of the other Party; provided, that if in light of the nature of the dispute the foregoing is not feasible, such costs and expenses shall be borne equally by
the Parties. Any initial retainer required by the Accounting Firm shall be funded equally by the Parties (and, following the Accounting Firm’s determination, the Parties shall make appropriate payments between themselves as are necessary to
give effect to the preceding sentence). 
 Section 7.02 Interest on Late Payments. With respect to any payment between the
Parties pursuant to this Agreement not made by the due date set forth in this Agreement for such payment, the outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the relevant
period. 
 Section 7.03 Survival of Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, all covenants and agreements
of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Distribution and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms. 

Section 7.04 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any successor by merger, acquisition of
assets, or otherwise, to either of the Parties hereto (including without limitation any successor of Cogint or SpinCo succeeding to the Tax Attributes of either under Section 381 of the Code), to the same extent as if such successor had been an
original party to this Agreement. 
 Section 7.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of 

  
 14 













 
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties to this Agreement
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner. 

Section 7.06 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement, the Separation Agreement
and the other Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the
Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 Section 7.07 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, except that each Party may assign (a) any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Subsidiaries and
(b) any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with a sale or disposition of any of its assets or entities or lines of business; provided, however, that, in each case, no such assignment shall
release such Party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Except as provided in Article III with respect to indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective
Subsidiaries and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement. 
 Section 7.08 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach
of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party who is or is to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition
to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate
compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by the Parties to this
Agreement. 
 Section 7.09 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by a written instrument
signed by the Parties to this Agreement. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other subsequent breach.
