standing and tax status (as applicable) for Team Sales from the State of
California; and (iii) following delivery of the items required by clause (ii)
above, cause Team Sales to ratify its guaranty and security agreement (and other

Agent, cause counsel for Team Sales to deliver to the Agent a favorable opinion
covering the due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of such
documents and ratifications, non-contravention and perfection of the foregoing
