W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, the Sellers collectively own 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests the Company; and
     WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Sellers, all of Sellers’ membership interests in the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
     1.1 Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), each Seller shall sell, convey, assign and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase, acquire and accept from each Seller all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Company, free and clear of any Liens (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof) including, without limitation, each Seller’s respective membership interest in the Company (as set forth on Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter), all voting rights, each Seller’s capital account in the Company, the right to receive distributions of cash, property or otherwise and the right to participate in and receive profits, losses and/or income from the Company, together with any other rights to which each Seller may now or hereafter be entitled to as a member of the Company, all as set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company dated as of June 27, 2003 (as amended, the “Operating Agreement”) or pursuant to applicable law or otherwise (the foregoing, with respect to each Seller, shall be referred to as its “Membership Interest”, and the aggregate Membership Interest of all of the Sellers as the “Membership Interests”).
     1.2 Purchase Consideration. The consideration payable by Purchaser for the Membership Interests shall be the sum of: (i) the Deposit (as defined in Section 1.10 hereof), (ii) $65,000,000 minus the amount of the Unit Award Payments (as defined below) (the “Cash Consideration”) and (iii) 1,925,546 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Purchaser common stock (“TWW Stock”) (such shares, the “Stock Consideration”). The

1


 

Purchase Consideration shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth on Schedule 1.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter.
     1.3 Closing Mechanics.
     (1) On or prior to the Closing, the Company shall (i) take all actions necessary to terminate the Data Return LLC 2006 Unit Option Plan (the “Unit Option Plan”) and the Data Return LLC 2006 Unit Appreciation Rights Plan (the “Unit Appreciation Rights Plan”) (collectively referred to as the “Unit Plans”). In furtherance of the foregoing, all unit options granted under the Unit Option Plan (the “Unit Option Awards”) and all unit appreciation rights granted under the Unit Appreciation Rights Plan (the “UAR Awards”) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be cancelled effective as of Closing and each holder (the “Award Holders”) of the Unit Option Awards and the UAR Awards shall receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Unit Plans) of the vested portion of the Units subject to each Unit Option Award or UAR Award, whichever applicable, over the aggregate exercise price (as set forth in the individual award agreement) (the “Unit Award Payments”).
     (2) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to each of the Sellers: (a) an amount equal to the Cash Consideration minus (i) the Escrow Amount (as defined above), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by each Seller at least two Business Days prior thereto, (ii) the amount referred to in Section 1.7, (iii) any management, consulting or other fees payable to any of the Sellers, (iv) the cost of the retirement the outstanding preferred stock of the Company and (v) all legal, broker and other fees payable by the Sellers in connection with the transaction (such net amount, the “Closing Seller Wires”) and (b) certificates representing the Stock Consideration, duly and validly endorsed in favor of the applicable Seller or accompanied by a separate duly and validly executed stock power (the “Stock Deliveries”).
     1.4 Closing. The closing of sale of the Membership Interests (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Sellers’ attorneys at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the second Business Day following the date on which the conditions set forth in Articles V and VI hereof are satisfied or (to the extent legally permissible) waived, or at such other date as the parties shall agree (such date, the “Closing Date”); provided that in no event shall the Closing occur on a date later than the Termination Date. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, a federally-recognized holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, New York, are not required to be open.
     1.5 Working Capital Adjustment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Working Capital” shall mean, as of any particular date, (i) the value of all current assets (excluding cash), net of provision for bad debt, plus restricted cash (to the extent not duplicative) of the Company as of that date, less (ii) the amount of all current liabilities, including accrued current liabilities not yet due, of the Company as of that date determined in each case in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

2


 

     1.6 Adjustment Procedures.
     (a) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare a calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP. Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative a written statement showing such calculation as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative and its representatives with reasonable access to such books and records relating to the Company through the Closing Date as the Seller Representative reasonably requests (on reasonable advance notice) in order to permit the Seller Representative to analyze the Closing Statement.
     (b) If within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Statement to the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative has not given Purchaser written notice of its objection as to the calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date as reflected on the Closing Statement (which notice shall state the basis of the Sellers’ objection), then the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date as so reflected on the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be the “Closing Net Working Capital.”
     (c) If the Seller Representative timely gives Purchaser written notice of objection pursuant to Section 1.6(b) above, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. If such an agreement is reached, the Net Working Capital so agreed upon shall be deemed to be the Closing Net Working Capital. If the Seller Representative and Purchaser fail to resolve the issues raised by such objection within ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Sellers’ objection, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution within thirty (30) days. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution: (i) the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants and to the other party such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to such party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both the Seller Representative and Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be deemed to be the Closing Net Working Capital; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants relating to such determination shall be paid by the party who is determined by the Independent Accountants to be the losing party (the party whose claimed Closing Net Working Capital is less accurate than such amount determined by the Independent Accountants) in such dispute resolution.
     (d) If, after a final determination of Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6(b) or (c) above, Closing Net Working Capital is determined to be

3


 

less than negative three million one hundred thousand dollars ($3,100,000) (the “Target Amount”), then the Seller Representative shall pay an amount in cash equal to any such shortfall to Purchaser within five (5) business days following such determination. If, after a final determination of Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6(b) or (c) above, Closing Net Working Capital is determined to be greater than the Target Amount, then the Purchaser shall pay an amount in cash equal to any such excess to the Seller Representative within five (5) business days following such determination. Any payment pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer and shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Consideration.
     1.7 Indebtedness. At Closing, the Company shall use a portion of the Purchase Price to pay and satisfy in full all Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter other than short term leases.
     1.8 Cost of Transfer. The Sellers shall bear all responsibilities and pay any and all costs associated with the transfer and delivery of the Membership Interests to Purchaser. Purchaser shall bear all responsibilities and pay any and all costs associated with registering its ownership interest in the Membership Interests.
     1.9 Escrow. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver an amount equal to $2,500,000 out of the Cash Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) to Citibank, N.A., by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to be held in an escrow account for a period of two (2) years in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement, entered into among Purchaser, the Sellers and Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sellers and their counsel (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Amount shall be available to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof. Any unreleased portion of the Escrow Amount shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers after expiration of the escrow account’s two year term.
     1.10 Deposit. The parties acknowledge that on or prior to the date hereof, Purchaser has paid a deposit of $5,000,000 (the “Deposit”) to Sellers and that at Closing such deposit shall also constitute part of the Purchase Consideration. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to certain circumstances set forth in Article VIII the Sellers shall be entitled to keep the Deposit as liquidated damages against Purchaser and in other circumstances the Deposit shall be refunded back to Purchaser.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
THE COMPANY AND SARATOGA SELLERS
     The Company and each of the Saratoga Sellers, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Purchaser that, except as set forth in any of the sections or subsections of the Company Disclosure Letter delivered by the Company and the Sellers to Purchaser and attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) corresponding to the appropriate section or subsection of this Article II, the following is true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

4


 

     2.1 Membership Interests. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter, each Saratoga Seller is the direct record and beneficial owner of its respective Membership Interest set forth on such Schedule 2.1, free and clear of any claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, easement, security interest, deed of trust, mortgage, conditional sales agreement, adverse claim, encumbrance reservation, restriction, community or other marital property interests, condition, equitable interest, right of first option, right of first refusal or similar restriction, or other defect in title or right of third parties, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and includes any agreement to give any of the foregoing in the future, and any contingent sale or other title retention agreement or lease in the nature thereof (collectively, “Liens”), and each Saratoga Seller has the right, power and authority to sell, transfer, convey and assign good, valid and indefeasible title thereto, free and clear of any Liens, except for the rights and obligations arising under the Operating Agreement. The minute books, stock books and stock transfer records of the Company, true and complete copies of which have been made available to Purchaser, contain true and complete minutes and records of all issuance and transfers of the Membership Interests of the Company and of all meetings, consents, proceedings and other actions of the members and managers of the Company.
     2.2 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries. The Company is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company has no subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter. DigitalOps, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, does not currently have, nor has it ever had since its inception, any operations, revenues, assets or liabilities, and to the Saratoga Sellers’ knowledge, DigitalOps, LLC will not commence operations or acquire assets or incur any liabilities prior to Closing. The Company has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, operate or lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is qualified to do business and is in existence in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned, operated or leased or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures which would not result in any change, effect or event, individually or in the aggregate, that is materially adverse to the business, results of operations, assets, liabilities or financial condition of the Company, taken as a whole (a “Company Material Adverse Effect”); provided, however, that in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect, any adverse effect principally attributable to any of the following shall be disregarded: (a) general economic, business, industry or financial market conditions, except to the extent that such general economic, business, industry or financial market conditions are specific to the Company or its business or have a disproportionate effect upon the Company or its business; (b) the taking of any action required by this Agreement; (c) the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any suit, action or proceeding arising in connection therewith; and (d) any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser. All the outstanding membership interests in the Company have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and are non-assessable. The Company does not directly or indirectly own or control any interest in any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.
     2.3 Authority Relative to this Agreement and Related Matters. Each of the Company and each Saratoga Seller has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Company and the

5


 

Saratoga Sellers of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and the Saratoga Sellers. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Saratoga Sellers and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and the Saratoga Sellers, enforceable against each of the Company and the Saratoga Sellers in accordance with their terms.
     2.4 Organizational Documents. The Saratoga Sellers have heretofore furnished to Purchaser a true, complete and correct copy of the articles of organization and Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), each as amended to date, of the Company.

No proceeding relating to the dissolution or merger of the Company or the amendment of the Company’s articles of organization, Operating Agreement or other organizational documents is pending or has been commenced or is contemplated.
     2.5 Capitalization. Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a list of each of the members of the Company and the number of units in the Company owned by each member. The Membership Interests being sold by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement represent 100% of the capital of the Company. All issued and outstanding interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and have been issued free and clear of all preemptive rights or options or other Liens created by or through the Company or the Saratoga Sellers, except for the rights and obligations arising under the Operating Agreement or as disclosed in Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter. Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth and summarizes all funded Indebtedness of the Company. Except as set forth therein, the Company is not a party to any indenture, mortgage, promissory note, loan agreement, guarantee or other agreement or commitment in respect of Indebtedness. “Indebtedness” means the sum of all amounts owing by the Company (including principal, interest, prepayment penalties or fees, premiums, breakage amounts, expense reimbursements or other amounts payable in connection therewith), contingent or otherwise, whether current or long-term, necessary to repay in full all amounts and terminate all obligations under the agreements by which the Company is obligated, including without limitation (a) for borrowed money, evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, (b) for the deferred purchase price of goods or services (other than trade payables and other accruals incurred in the ordinary course which are not more than ninety days overdue or which are being contested in good faith and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP), (c) under or on account of capital leases, (d) any obligation secured by a Lien against any of the assets of the Company and (e) in the nature of guarantees of any of the obligations described in clauses (a)-(d) above of any other person or other arrangements whereby responsibility is assumed for the obligations of others, including any agreement to purchase or otherwise acquire the obligations of others or any agreement, contingent or otherwise, to furnish funds for the purchase of goods, supplies or services for the purpose of payment of the obligations of others, other than accounts or trade payables in the ordinary course of business. Except for the Unit Option Awards and the UAR Awards granted to the Award Holders, which are set forth on Schedule 2.5 to the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company has not issued or authorized any shares, bonds, convertible bonds, subscription rights, options, warrants, rights (including

6


 

preemptive rights), calls, commitments, rights of exchange, conversion rights, plans or other agreements of any character providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any interest or other share of the capital of the Company. Except for such Unit Option Awards and UAR Awards, there are no agreements or arrangements in force which call for the issue of new interests or securities of the Company.
     2.6 No Conflicts; Required Filings and Consents. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the Saratoga Sellers do not, and neither the performance by the Company and the Saratoga Sellers thereof nor the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated thereby will (i) conflict with or violate the articles of organization or Operating Agreement of the Company, (ii) to the knowledge of the Saratoga Sellers and the Company, conflict with or violate any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international, multinational or other constitution, law, ordinance, principle of common law, code, regulation, statute or treaty (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) applicable to the Saratoga Sellers or the Company or by which any of them or their respective properties or assets is bound, (iii) except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the properties or assets of the Saratoga Sellers or the Company pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease or other instrument or obligation to which the Saratoga Sellers or the Company is a party or by which the Saratoga Sellers or the Company or any of their respective properties or assets is bound, or (iv) to the knowledge of the Saratoga Sellers and the Company, require the Saratoga Sellers or the Company to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any third party pursuant to contractual obligation or applicable law, including any court of competent jurisdiction or any local, state, federal or foreign governmental, regulatory, administrative or judicial unit, entity, agency or authority (collectively, any “Governmental Authority”), except for filings, if any, required pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”) or which could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (2) Except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Company Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Company Employee Plan has been maintained and operated in accordance with its terms and applicable law, including,

8


 

without limitation, ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) except as set forth in Schedule 2.08 of the Company Disclosure Letter, each Company Employee Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Company Employee Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Code and no circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any such determination letter; (iii) no claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other action (including, without limitation, any audits or proceedings pending with any governmental or regulatory agency) has been threatened, asserted, instituted, or, to the knowledge of the Saratoga Sellers and the Company, is anticipated against, or in respect of, any Company Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), (iv) no non-exempt “prohibited transaction” has occurred, with respect to any Company Employee Plan, within the meaning of ERISA and the Code; and (v) no Company Employee Plan is subject to Section 412 of the Code, and the Company does not have any liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Company Employee Plan is a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, or otherwise subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA, and the Company has no liability (including actual or potential withdrawal liability) with respect to any multiemployer plans.

     2.9 Financial Statements.
     (1) The Company has heretofore provided to Purchaser (a) audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, including all related notes and schedules (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (b) internally prepared financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (the “Unaudited Financial Statements” and, together with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements, together with the notes thereto, were prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company, which books and records are complete and accurate in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), present fairly and accurately, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods then ended and include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods covered by such statements and make full and adequate provisions for all liabilities or obligations of the Company, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, in accordance with GAAP.
     (2) Except as set forth in the Financial Statements or as set forth on Schedule 2.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company has no liabilities, obligations or Indebtedness, contingent or otherwise, which are not adequately reflected in or reserved against in the Financial Statements, other than liabilities incurred since the date of the Financial Statements in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices or which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
     (3) Schedule 2.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth (i) the amount of all Indebtedness of the Company set forth on Schedule 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (ii) any Lien with respect to such Indebtedness and (iii) a list of each instrument or agreement governing such Indebtedness (true and correct copies of which have been provided to the Purchaser). To the Company’s knowledge, no default (or event which with the giving of notice or passage or time would constitute a default) exists with respect to or under any such Indebtedness or any instrument or agreement relating thereto.
     (4) The Company’s Financial Statements set forth a complete list of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses in accordance with GAAP as of the date or dates thereof.
     (5) The accounts receivable of the Company reflected on the Financial Statements, and all receivables incurred since the date of the Financial Statements, arose from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business, are fully collectible, and the goods and services involved have been sold, delivered or performed (as applicable) in full. No such account has been assigned or pledged to any other person, firm or corporation and no defense or set-off to any such account has been asserted by the account obligor or exists. The allowance for

10


 

doubtful accounts set forth in the balance sheet as of the most recent balance sheet date delivered to the Purchaser is adequate from a historical perspective for the nonpayment of claims previously submitted and for which revenues have been accrued.
     (6) The accounting books and records of the Company have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices, including the maintenance of an adequate system of internal controls.
     2.10 Permits and Licenses. The Company holds all material licenses, franchises, authorizations, permits and certificates necessary to enable the Company to continue to conduct its business as presently conducted (collectively, the “Company Licenses”). Schedule 2.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter includes a correct and complete list of each material Company License. Each Company License is valid and in full force and effect and, to the knowledge of the Saratoga Sellers and the Company, no suspension or cancellation of any such Company License is threatened and no default exists under such Company Licenses.

     (a) The Saratoga Sellers agree that, from and after the Closing, they shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns (any party entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII shall be referred to as an “Indemnified Party,” and any party obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VII shall be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party”) against any damages, claims, deficiencies, awards, settlements, losses, liabilities, actions or causes of action, assessments, judgments, fines, penalties, suits, proceedings and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable accounting and attorneys’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss,” and collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Saratoga Sellers or the Company contained in Article II or Section 7.6 hereof or (ii) any breach of any covenant or other agreement of the Company or the Saratoga Sellers contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of the Saratoga Sellers are subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof.
     (b) The Management Sellers agree that, from and after the Closing, they shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns against any Losses arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of such Management Seller contained in Article IIA hereof or (ii) any breach of any covenant or other agreement of the such Management Seller contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of such Management Sellers are subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof.
     (c) The Escrow Amount shall be available to indemnify Purchasers with respect to any Loss arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of the Saratoga Sellers or the Company contained in Sections 2.14 or 2.15 hereof. To the extent Purchaser desires to submit a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.1(c), Purchaser shall give written notice of such claim to the Sellers’ Representative (a “Notice of Claim”). The Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be given a 30-day period in which to investigate the claim and during such period shall have reasonable access to any documentation related to the matter which is the subject of such Notice of Claim provided that any such documentation shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 5.13 hereof. Any Notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any claim so asserted and the basis thereof. The amount claimed by Purchaser pursuant to the Notice of Claim shall become final and binding upon Sellers on the earlier of (i) 30 days after delivery by Purchaser to Sellers’ Representative of such Notice of Claim to the extent Sellers fail to dispute the matters set forth therein; (ii) the date the parties hereto resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to any matter specified in such Notice of Claim, or (iii) the date any matters properly in dispute are finally resolved pursuant to Section 9.8 hereof. To the extent the

35


 

Sellers’ Representative disputes in writing during the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Claim any matter set forth therein, the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any such differences. At the end of such 30-day period, the parties shall obtain a final resolution to such disputes using the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in Section 9.8 hereof. Interest earned on the Escrow Amount, if any, shall be paid to the parties pro rata based on the amount of principal such party shall receive from the Escrow Amount. The parties agree to execute any joint written instruction letter or other authorization necessary to direct the escrow agent to release funds from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.2(4) and the Escrow Agreement.
     7.2 Indemnification of Sellers. Purchaser agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, the Company, their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns, against any Losses arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article III hereof or (b) any breach of any covenant or other agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of Purchaser is subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 7.4.
     7.3 Procedures for Indemnification for Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement with respect to claims of third parties (individually, a “Third Party Claim” and collectively, the “Third Party Claims”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
     (a) the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of any Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of that claim by representatives chosen by it reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that at the time of the assumption of defense the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify as provided herein, the majority amount of Loss in question must be covered after taking account of the limitations set forth in Section 7.4 and the Indemnifying Party must reimburse the Indemnified Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred prior to the assumption of defense by the Indemnifying Party. Any such notice of a Third Party Claim shall identify with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at the time) the basis for the Third Party Claim, the facts giving rise to the Third Party Claim and the amount of the Third Party Claim (or, if such amount is not yet known, a reasonable estimate, if possible, of the amount of the Third Party Claim). Failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the delay in giving notice;
     (b) if the Indemnifying Party exercises its right to undertake the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party;

36


 

     (c) if (i) the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days after notice of any such Third Party Claim, fails to assume the defense in accordance with Section 7.3(a) of this Agreement, (ii) the Indemnifying Party does not conduct such defense actively and diligently in the reasonable discretion of the Indemnified Party or (iii) there is a conflict of interest between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of such claim as determined by the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim using representatives chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of its costs and expenses in conducting such defense and cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party; and
     (d) notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary, the party controlling the defense shall not, without the written consent of the other party subject to liability, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of judgment which (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, (y) includes any equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (z) includes any admission of guilt or liability by the Indemnified Party.
     7.4 Indemnification Deductibles and Caps.
     (a) Deductibles. No indemnification under Section 7.1 shall be required unless the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Aggregate Threshold Amount”), at which time the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for any Losses incurred in excess of such Aggregate Threshold Amount.
     (b) Overall Limitation. In no event whatsoever shall Purchaser’s recourse with respect to Losses under Section 7.1 exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(d) herein; provided, that the foregoing limitations set forth in Sections 7.4 (a) and (b) shall not apply to breaches of the representations in Sections 2.1, 2.13, 2.15, 2.21, 3.4 and 3.7. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Amount shall only relate to Sellers’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.1(c) hereof and Purchaser shall not have recourse against the Escrow Amount in connection with any other Losses.
     (c) Time Limits On Indemnification. No claim on account of breach of representation, warranty or covenant shall be made after the expiration of the survival periods referred to in Section 8.1 of this Agreement. Claims made prior to the expiration of the survival periods shall continue until satisfied or otherwise resolved.

37


 

     (d) Net Recovery. The amount which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to a Loss shall be net of any recovery actually received by such Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such Losses (including insurance proceeds, counterclaims, subrogation actions and the like).
     (e) Tax Benefits. In case any event shall occur that would otherwise entitle any party to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder, no Loss shall be deemed to have been sustained by such party to the extent of any net Tax benefit realized by such party with respect thereto. The parties agree to treat all indemnification payments as adjustments to the Purchase Consideration and not as income and to report any such payments as adjustments to the Purchase Consideration for tax purposes; however if any such payments are ultimately determined to be income, then such payments with respect to such Loss shall take into account any adverse tax consequence.
     7.5 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies in this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to the matters covered by Sections 7.1 and 7.2, absent fraud. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for those portions of any Losses constituting incidental, indirect, consequential or special damages, including, without limitation, damages arising from loss of use, loss of profit or income, or punitive damages nor shall a party be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Loss if such party was advised, in a writing explicitly stating that such disclosure is made pursuant to this Section 7.5, of the inaccuracy, non-performance or breach giving rise to such Loss at the time of Closing.
     7.6 Financial Capacity. The Saratoga Sellers hereby represent and warrant that they have sufficient financial capacity, including net book value and working capital to satisfy all of the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII hereof. Specifically, the Saratoga Sellers hereby represent and warrant that they have net book value in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate.
     7.7 Mitigation. To the extent any action would not result in an adverse effect on a party hereto or the operations of the Company, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any Loss.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
     8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
     (a) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Sellers;
     (b) by either Purchaser or Sellers, if the purchase of interests contemplated by and pursuant to this Agreement shall not have been consummated by the date that is forty-five (45) days from the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the

38


 

     cause of or resulted in the failure of the Interest Purchase to occur on or before the Termination Date;
     (c) by either Purchaser or Sellers, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree, ruling or action the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to lift), in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Interest Purchase, and such order, decree, ruling or action shall have become final and non-appealable;
     (d) by Purchaser, if there has been any material inaccuracy in or breach of any of Sellers’ representations or warranties set forth in Articles II or IIA hereof, or Sellers shall have breached or failed to perform any of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement in any material respect, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Article V hereof are not capable of being satisfied on or before the Termination Date; provided, however, that before Purchaser may terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(4), it shall deliver written notice to Sellers specifying such breach in reasonable detail (to the extent known) and, if such breach is capable of cure within a 20-day period, shall give Sellers a period of 20 days following receipt of such notice in which to cure such breach, regardless of whether such 20-day period extends beyond the Termination Date; or
     (e) by Sellers, if there has been any material inaccuracy in or breach of any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties set forth in Article III hereof, or Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement in any material respect, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Article V and VI hereof are not capable of being satisfied on or before the Termination Date; provided, however, that before Sellers may terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(5), they shall deliver written notice to Purchaser specifying such breach in reasonable detail (to the extent known) and, if such breach is capable of cure within a 20-day period, shall give Purchaser a period of 20 days following receipt of such notice in which to cure such breach, regardless of whether such 20-day period extends beyond the Termination Date.
     8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability or obligation hereunder on the part of any party hereto except (a) as set forth in this Section 8.2 and Article IX hereof, (b) except as provided in the following clause (c), nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement, (c) in the event of termination of this Agreement by Sellers pursuant to Sections 8.1 (b), (c) or (e) hereunder (a “Liquidation Termination”) and (d) in the event of any termination of this Agreement by Sellers or Purchasers other than a Liquidation Termination, Purchaser, Sellers shall be obligated to return the Deposit to Purchaser within five (5) business days of such termination, Sellers shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages against Purchaser hereunder. Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the foregoing clause (c) is an essential element of the bargain Sellers are relying on under this Agreement and Sellers have affirmatively made such clause a condition to their entering into this Agreement, (ii) the damages to the Sellers in connection with a Liquidation Termination are uncertain and estimating such damages would be impractical and

39


 

extremely difficult at this time, (iii) the amount of liquidated damages stipulated in this Section 8.2 have been fully-negotiated and are proportionate to, and a fair and reasonable estimate of, the actual damages that would be occasioned to the Sellers in connection therewith and would not pose an economic hardship to Purchaser and (iv) such liquidated damages do not in any way constitute a penalty for such breach or termination.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
     9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties made by the Saratoga Sellers and the Company in Article II hereof, the Management Sellers in Article IIA hereof and the Purchaser in Article III hereof, and the covenants and other agreements contained herein to be fully performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing Date until that date which is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, whereupon they shall expire notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the other party; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1 (Membership Interests), Section 2.3 (Authority Relative to this Agreement and Related Matters), Section 2.8 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 2.13 (Compliance with Environmental Laws), Section 2.11 (Properties), Section 2.14 (Labor and Employment Matters), Section 2.15 (Tax Returns, Audits and Liabilities), Section 2.1A (Membership Interests), Section 2.3A (Authority Relative to this Agreement and Related Matters), Section 3.2 (Authorization), 3.5 (SEC Reports), Section 3.7 (Validity of TWW Stock), Section 3.9 (Tax Returns, Audits and Liabilities), Section 3.18 (Compliance with Environmental Laws), Section 3.19 (Employee Benefit Plans), and Section 3.20 (Labor and Employment Matters) shall survive until the date which is 48 months after the Closing Date.

     9.18 Specific Performance. Each of the Sellers and the Company recognizes and agrees that the Purchaser shall not have an adequate remedy if either the Sellers or the Company fails to satisfy the provisions of this Agreement and that damages will not be readily ascertainable, and that the Sellers and the Company expressly agree that in the event of such failure the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Sellers’ and the Company’s obligations hereunder and that neither the Sellers nor the Company will oppose an application seeking such specific performance.
     9.19 Seller Representative. The execution of this Agreement by each Seller shall constitute approval as of the date hereof of the appointment of Richard Petrocelli to act as the representative of the Sellers (the “Seller Representative”). The Seller Representatives shall have unlimited authority and power to act on behalf of each Seller with respect to this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, including the disposition, settlement or other handling of all indemnification claims, rights or obligations arising from and taken pursuant to this Agreement. Such Sellers will be bound by all actions taken by the Seller Representative in connection with this Agreement and the Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Seller Representative.
