Section 3.31 Accounts Receivable and Payable.

Subject to any reserves set forth in the Annual Balance Sheet, all accounts receivable of each Company shown on the Annual Balance Sheet and, as of the Closing Date, all accounts receivable of each Company shown on the Closing Statement, are valid receivables subject to no setoffs or counterclaims, represent and will represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, and are not subject to discount except for normal cash and immaterial trade discounts. The amount carried for doubtful accounts and allowances disclosed in the Annual Balance Sheet are sufficient to provide for any losses which may be sustained on realization of the receivables. The amounts carried as reserves for expenses, including, without limitation, all expenses for services rendered and goods purchased, and warranty claims on the Annual Balance Sheets are sufficient for the payment of (i) expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date, other than Transaction Expenses (ii) current warranty claims and (iii) warranty claims which arise prior to twelve (12) months from the date of the Annual Balance Sheet.

Since the date of the Annual Balance Sheet, due provision was made on the books of each Company in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, to provide for all slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values and such inventory reserves are adequate to provide for such slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory and inventory shrinkage. As of the date hereof, each Company's inventory on hand and commitments to purchase inventory do not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount greater than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).

Section 3.34 Private Placement.

Parent and Purchasers acknowledge that, subject to Section 6.11, Team Enterprises may liquidate or dissolve after the Closing, thereby distributing the Team Enterprises Shares to the Team Enterprises Shareholders. Accordingly, for purposes of this Section 3.34 Team Enterprises and the Team Enterprises Shareholders shall each be individually and collectively referred to as the “Investor” and each as the Investor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Team Enterprises Shares to be received by the Investor are being acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The acquisition by the Investor of any of the Team Enterprises Shares shall constitute confirmation of the representation by the Investor that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Team Enterprises Shares.

(b) Disclosure of Information. The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Team Enterprises Shares. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Parent regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Team Enterprises Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Parent.

(c) Restricted Team Enterprises Shares. The Investor understands that the Team Enterprises Shares it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Parent in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. THE INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES HEREIN THAT AN INVESTMENT IN PARENT’S SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND MAY RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF HIS, HER OR ITS INVESTMENT. The Investor understands that the Team Enterprises Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus the Investor will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer his, her or its Team Enterprises Shares unless they are registered under the Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available. The Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment, does not anticipate that the Investor will be required to sell his, her or its Team Enterprises Shares in the foreseeable future other than as may be required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(d) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Team Enterprises Shares unless and until:

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(ii) if reasonably requested by Parent, the Investor shall have furnished Parent with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that Parent will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

(e) Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Team Enterprises Stock may bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO PARENT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”

(f) Reliance by Company. The Investor understands that the representations, warranties , covenants and acknowledgements set forth in this Section 3.33(a) constitute a material inducement to Parent and the Acquirors entering into this Agreement.

(g) No Reliance on Others. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than Parent and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in Parent. Each Investor agrees that no Investor nor any Investor’s controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the issuance and sale of the Team Enterprises Shares contemplated hereunder.

Section 3.35 Representations Complete.

None of the representations or warranties made by any the Companies herein or in any Schedule hereto, including the Disclosure Schedules, or certificate furnished by each Company pursuant to this Agreement, when all such documents are read together in their entirety, contains or will contain at the Closing Date any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit at the Closing Date to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public; (ii) is or becomes known to the Parent or the Acquirors or any of their representatives from a person (other than the Companies); or (iii) is or was already in the possession of, or is or becomes known to, Parent or the Acquirors or any of their representatives or (iv) is or was independently developed by Parent or the Acquirors or any of their representatives without violation of any obligation under this Agreement.

(b) Prior to Closing and subsequent to termination of this Agreement, Parent and the Acquirors shall not use the Confidential Information for its own benefit, nor for the benefit of any other person or for the detriment of Companies, provided that Parent, and the Acquirors may use the Confidential Information solely in connection with its evaluation, negotiation of the terms and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and the Acquirors shall keep the Confidential Information confidential, and shall not disclose or allow to be disclosed to any third person any of the Confidential Information, except as required by applicable law or regulations or as authorized by written consent of the Companies and shall utilize the same practices and procedures to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information that Parent and the Acquirors use to protect their own confidential and proprietary information. Prior to Closing and subsequent to termination of this Agreement, Parent and the Acquirors shall not duplicate any of the Confidential Information except as required to accomplish the purpose of evaluating, negotiating the terms of and consummating a potential purchase of Companies. Parent and the Acquirors shall hold in confidence and not misuse, misappropriate, disclose, distribute, transmit or transfer the Confidential Information or any portion thereof communicated, discussed, delivered or made available by Companies to or received by Parent or the Acquirors; provided, however, that Parent and the Acquirors may disclose, distribute, transmit and transfer Confidential Information to its representatives for the purpose of evaluating, negotiating the terms of and consummating the transaction contemplated hereby. Parent and the Acquirors agree to limit access to the Confidential Information to only those of Parent and the Acquirors’ representatives who are obligated by virtue of their fiduciary or employment obligations to Parent or the Acquirors to abide by these restrictions.

(c) Until the Closing, all materials containing Confidential Information shall remain the Companies’ property. In the event the transactions contemplated hereby do not close, or upon the determination of Parent or the Acquirors that it does not wish to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby or wishes to terminate this Agreement, (a) the Parent and the Acquirors shall promptly (i) deliver to the Companies all documents or other materials furnished by the Companies or its representatives to Parent or the Acquirors constituting Confidential Information, together with all copies thereof in the possession or under the control of Parent and the Acquirors, or (ii) alternatively, if the Companies request or give their prior written consent to Parent or the Acquirors, Parent and the Acquirors shall destroy all documents or other matters constituting Confidential Information in the possession or under the control of Parent or the Acquirors; provided, however, that if a legal proceeding has been instituted in which disclosure of the Confidential Information may be relevant, such material shall not be destroyed until the proceeding is settled or a final judgment with respect thereto has been rendered; and provided, further, that all documents reflecting Parent or the Acquirors’ evaluation of proposed transaction and the reasons for its decision not to proceed with the proposed transactions will not be required to be returned or destroyed, however, this Agreement will continue to apply to any such information on the terms set forth herein. Subject to the foregoing, thereafter Parent and the Acquirors will not retain or permit any of its representatives to retain any of the Confidential Information.

(d) Because an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by Parent or the Acquirors or their representatives and any such breach shall cause the Companies harm, Parent and the Acquirors also agrees that, in the event of any breach of this Section by Parent or the Acquirors or their representatives, the Companies will also be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance.

Section 5.6 Updating the Disclosure Schedules.

If any event, condition, fact or circumstance that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 5.4 would require a change to the Disclosure Schedules if the Disclosure Schedules were dated as of the date of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, then the Companies shall promptly deliver to Parent an update to the Disclosure Schedules specifying such change and shall use its best efforts to remedy same, as applicable; provided, however, that no such update shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of (i) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by the Companies in this Agreement or (ii) determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Purchaser Damages, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Seller Damages, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(c) Any indemnification payment paid pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price.

(d) No party shall seek indemnification against any other party to the extent that the claim for which such party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification is paid by insurance.

(a) In the event that a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Person”) seeks to exercise its rights to obtain indemnification for damages pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the party obligated to indemnify (the “Indemnitor”) a written notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim for which indemnification is being sought and the amount of damages, if known. The Indemnitor shall have the right to object to any claim set forth in any Indemnity Notice by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objection. If no objection is received within such thirty day period, such claim shall be payable upon expiration of the thirty period. Any objection to a claim which is not delivered in a timely fashion shall not constitute a waiver of the Indemnitor’s right to object except to the extent that the Indemnified Party is prejudiced thereby. In the event the claim set forth in the Indemnity Notice is contested by the Indemnitor, then such claim shall be treated as an unresolved claim, subject to resolution pursuant to Section 9.3.

Section 9.3 Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(a) In case an Indemnitor shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Indemnity Notice, the Indemnified Person shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of an objection to respond thereto in a written statement. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the parties shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the parties should so agree, the claims set forth in such Indemnity Notice shall be modified as necessary to reflect such agreement.

(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either party may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless such arbitration seeks to determine the amount of the damage or loss at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Indemnity Notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.

(c) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Orange County, California under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. All costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any such arbitration shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, provided that upon conclusion of the arbitration, all such costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the arbitrator or arbitrators, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association and attorneys’ fees and costs shall be allocated by the arbitrator or arbitrators, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.12 hereof.

Section 9.4 Shareholders’ Agent.

Each of the Shareholders and the Sellers, by virtue of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx as the Shareholders’ Agent for and on behalf of the Shareholders and the Sellers to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize offset by Parent of any amounts owed to the Shareholders and Sellers in satisfaction of claims by an Indemnified Person, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, to agree to, negotiate, enter into and provide amendments and supplements to and waivers in respect of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.4 and Section 8.5 of this Agreement, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of any or all of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed (i) with respect to all Shareholders and the Sellers, by unanimous decision, from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice signed by all of the Shareholders and the Sellers and delivered to the Shareholders' Agent and to Parent. Shareholders’ Agent shall act as directed by the Shareholders. In the event of a dispute among the Shareholders, the Shareholders’ Agent shall act as directed by Shareholders holding not less that 2/3 of the equitable interests in the Companies as of the Closing. Parent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, without any further inquiry or investigation, on any such notice provided to Parent; provided, however, that Parent shall not be bound by any such notice that Parent in good faith determines has not been signed by the all of the Shareholders and the Sellers, in which case for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to recognize the purported removal of the existing Shareholders' Agent and shall be entitled to treat the existing Shareholders' Agent as the Shareholders' Agent for such purpose. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Agent, and the Shareholders’ Agent shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Shareholders and the Sellers.

Section 9.5 Actions of the Shareholders’ Agent.

A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute a decision of all of the Shareholders and the Sellers and in the absence of actual knowledge by Parent that Shareholders’ Agent is not acting as directed by the Shareholders as described above shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all of the Shareholders and the Sellers, and Parent, the Acquirors and the Companies may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Shareholders and the Sellers. Each of Parent, the Acquirors and the Companies is hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent.

Section 9.6 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any party receives a third-party claim which such party believes give rise to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX (a “Third Party Claim”), such party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent indemnifying party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The notice of Third Party Claim shall include, based on the information then available to such party, a summary in reasonable detail of the basis for the claim and a reasonable estimate of the Damages. The indemnifying party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense and resolution of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have Control over the litigation; provided, further that any such settlement shall not be determinative of the existence of or amount of Damages relating to such claim, except with the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the indemnifying party shall have objected in writing within thirty (30) days after a written request for such consent by the indemnified party. In the event that the Shareholders’ Agent has consented to any settlement of a Third Party Claim, then provided that the Shareholders’ Agent has acted as directed by the Shareholders as described above, neither the Shareholders’ Agent nor any of the Shareholders shall have any power or authority to object under Section 9.2 or any other provision of this ARTICLE IX to any claim by an Indemnified Person for offset against any amounts payable to the Shareholders or for indemnity in the amount of such settlement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Agent shall have Control over the prosecution, defense and resolution of (i) all Environmental Claims under Section 9.1(a)(iii) or for any claims against any of the insurers whose policies are identified in Section 3.20 of the Disclosure Schedules and (ii) all claims arising out of or related to the failure of any Seller to obtain any required third party consents pursuant to Section 7.3(c); provided, however, Parent shall be notified and promptly provided copies of any settlement offers whether oral or written and no such claim may be settled without Parent’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Parent and Acquirors shall cooperate fully with Shareholders and their counsel in the prosecution, defense and resolution of all such claims. In the event the Shareholders’ Agent refuses to settle a claim that Parent recommends to be settled, the Shareholders’ Agent shall promptly provide Parent with a reasonable settlement amount for which the Shareholders’ Agent would be willing to settle such claim (the “Proposed Settlement Amount”). Parent shall be entitled to require the Shareholders’ Agent to and the Shareholders’ Agent hereby agrees that the Shareholders’ Agent shall settle such claim if Parent funds the difference between the actual settlement amount and the Proposed Settlement Amount. Parent and its attorneys (whose fees shall not be deemed Purchaser Damages and shall be paid by Parent and not out of the Escrow Shares) shall have complete access to the attorneys engaged by the Shareholders’ Agent to defend and otherwise represent the indemnified parties in connection with Third Party Claims and their files, including any claims against insurance carriers. The Shareholders’ Agent’s selection of such counsel shall be subject to Parent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such counsel shall be changed by the Shareholders’ Agent if reasonably requested by Parent (with replacement counsel again subject to Parent’s reasonable approval).

Section 10.3 Interpretation.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrase “made available” in this Agreement means that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the party to whom such information is to be made available. The phrases “the date of this Agreement”, “the date hereof”, and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to August 30, 2007. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.5 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest.

This Agreement and the certificates, documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Exhibits, the Schedules, including the Disclosure Schedules (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise except as otherwise specifically provided, and (c) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to the right to receive payments by the Shareholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.

Section 10.6 Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.7 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court located within the State of California, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, and agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the Laws of the State of California for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction and such process.

Section 10.8 Rules of Construction.

The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 10.9 Specific Performance.

The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Section 10.10 Descriptive Headings.

The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Force Majeure.

No party shall be deemed to fail to perform its obligations or respond to any notice on a timely basis if its failure results solely from the following causes beyond its reasonable control, specifically: war, terrorism, strikes, natural disaster or acts of God. Any delay resulting directly from any of said causes shall extend accordingly the time to perform or respond by the length of the delay. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall in no event relieve any party of its obligations hereunder or permit a party to fail to respond to notice beyond the extension described in the preceding sentence.

Section 10.12 Attorneys’ Fees.

Should any party hereto institute any action or proceeding in court or otherwise to enforce any provision hereof or for damages by reason of alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party such reasonable out of pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any such action or proceeding.
