4. THE CORPORATE BUSINESS. The parties understand and acknowledge that
the "Corporate Business" of ASUSA is the distribution of soccer uniform under
the "Atomic" brand label and basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, and hockey
uniforms under the "XXXX" brand label, primarily through independent sales
representatives. TSET intends that the Corporate Business shall be conducted in
substantially the same manner as conducted prior to TSET's acquisition of the
Atomic Shares, and that the Corporate Business shall also include the pursuit of
such other activities as ASUSA's board of directors may determine from time to
time including, without limitation, recruitment of additional distributors for
the "Atomic" and "XXXX" brand labels and expansion of the geographical
territories in which ASUSA's products are marketed, distributed, and sold;
potential acquisition of additional sports apparel and equipment
distributorships and expansion of ASUSA's current product lines to achieve a
greater diversity; protect ASUSA's trademarks, tradenames, label names, and
other valuable rights; and such other activities as may enhance the value and
name recognition of the "Atomic" and "XXXX" labels, all with a view to advance
ASUSA's best interests and maximize ASUSA's profitability and success for the
benefit of TSET. In addition, as soon as practicable TSET intends to give
favorable consideration to the acquisition of ASUSA's maquiladora cut-and-sew
facility (Atomic S.A. de C.V.) in Ensenada, Mexico.
5. CONTRIBUTIONS BY TSET: CLAW-BACK. (a)(i) TSET shall assist and
support ASUSA's capital-raising efforts and shall provide and make available to
ASUSA working capital in the aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000.00 (the
"Initial Funding") over the 12-month period next following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement (the "Funding Period"). ASUSA hereby acknowledges
that TSET has, prior to the date of this Agreement, provided and ASUSA has
received a portion of the Initial Funding in the amount of $125,125.00. To the
extent required, TSET shall use its own shares in order to arrange for, procure,
and ensure availability of the Initial Funding; provided, however, that TSET's
obligation to provide the Initial Funding shall not be construed as or
constitute any assumption of any obligation regarding any indebtedness,
operating expenses, or other financial liabilities of ASUSA or the Stockholders
including, without limitation, those financial obligations owed to Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx or Xxxx Xxx as described in Exhibit 5 attached hereto and made a part
hereof for all purposes. Provision of the Initial Funding shall be the sole
financial obligation owed by TSET to ASUSA; provided, however, that TSET may
elect, but is not obligated, to provide to ASUSA funding in addition to the
Initial Funding in appropriate cases to be determined by TSET in its sole and
absolute discretion. Within 10 days of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, ASUSA's board of directors shall establish an operating budget,
including provision for, among other things, the prudent expenditure and
conservation of funds for working capital over the Funding Period while
achieving the overall goals of the Corporate Business.
(ii) TSET acknowledges that ASUSA currently has
outstanding a $500,000 revolving line of credit, and that the guaranty thereof
provided by Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx must be replaced on or before June 30, 2000 (the
"Replacement Date"). TSET hereby agrees to exert its best efforts to retire or
renew such line of credit with replacement guaranties on or before the
Replacement Date.
(b)(i) The parties acknowledge that TSET's undertaking to provide
the Initial Funding is a significant inducement to ASUSA and the Stockholders to
enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated herein,
and that on or before the lapse of the Funding Period TSET shall have provided
4
to ASUSA the entire amount of the Initial Funding. In the event TSET provides
less than all of the Initial Funding by or before the lapse of the Funding
Period, ASUSA shall provide written notice to TSET that an event of default has
occurred hereunder (the "Default Notice"). If TSET fails to provide the unpaid
portion of the Initial Funding to ASUSA within 45 days of TSET's receipt of the
Default Notice (the "Cure Period"), the number of Atomic Shares owned by TSET
shall be reduced to reflect the proportionate value of the Initial Funding
provided by TSET to ASUSA, with the number of the Atomic Shares deducted from
TSET's holding to be transferred to and distributed among the Stockholders on a
pro rata basis (the "Share Adjustment"). The Share Adjustment shall occur within
10 days following lapse of the Cure Period if TSET fails during the Cure Period
to provide the unpaid portion of the Initial Funding.
(ii) If TSET fails to provide any Initial Funding
prior to the lapse of the Funding Period and the resulting Cure Period, this
Agreement shall be terminated and deemed null and void and the Atomic Shares
shall be assigned, transferred, and conveyed by TSET to the Stockholders, as
they may direct in writing to TSET.
(c) If TSET fails to provide any Initial Funding prior to the
lapse of the Funding Period and the resulting Cure Period, the sole remedy of
ASUSA and the Stockholders shall be:
(i) the Share Adjustment (in case of the events
described in Subsection (b)(i) above); and
(ii) the termination of this Agreement and assignment,
transfer, and conveyance to ASUSA and the Stockholders of the Atomic Shares (in
case of the events described in Subsection (b)(ii) above).
No party shall have any liability to the other for monetary damages of any
description whatsoever including, without limitation, incidental, consequential,
or punitive damages.
6. OPTIONS AND OTHER PROGRAMS. TSET intends to adopt for itself, and
intends that ASUSA adopt, stock option, incentive, profit-sharing, savings, and
other similar programs (the "Programs"), as soon as practicable after the date
hereof. The terms and conditions of participation, contribution, matching,
vesting, and other elements of the Programs shall be established by the
respective boards of directors of TSET and ASUSA. ASUSA's directors, executive
management, and key employees (collectively, "management") shall be entitled to
participate in Programs adopted by TSET, subject to any conditions or
restrictions imposed on such participation by TSET's board of directors. As an
additional inducement to management and to ensure participation by management in
the future success of ASUSA, TSET, as sole stockholder of ASUSA, hereby agrees
to reserve up to 20% of ASUSA's authorized capital stock to be used in Programs
to be adopted by ASUSA's board of directors and consents to the full
participation of management therein, subject to the terms for such participation
established by ASUSA's board of directors; provided, however, that the final
terms of the Programs adopted by ASUSA's board of directors shall be subject to
TSET's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed.
5
7. FUTURE EVENTS. At an appropriate and mutually agreed time in the
future, TSET intends to give due and good faith consideration to effecting a
transaction pursuant to which ASUSA may become a publicly-owned entity (the
"Reconstitutive Decision"); provided, however, that a decision to retain ASUSA
as a wholly- or majority-owned subsidiary of TSET or effect a transaction
pursuant to which ASUSA's ownership materially changes but remains privately
held shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 7. In the event of any
Reconstitutive Decision, TSET (or its nominees) shall retain not less than a
non-dilutible 20% ownership interest in ASUSA.
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ASUSA AND THE STOCKHOLDERS.

with any change in control of ASUSA and no amount will become due to any
employee, consultant, officer, or director of ASUSA under the Collective Rules
or any Employment Agreement solely as a result of the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement.

hereof for all purposes sets forth all obligations of ASUSA to employee

compliance with all provisions of applicable labor and social security laws, the

Employment Agreement is pending or, to the best knowledge of ASUSA and each
Stockholder, threatened.

and been in compliance with all terms and conditions of any and all Permits
which are required under, and has complied with all other limitations,
restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations,
schedules, and timetables which are contained in, all Laws and Judgments

the best knowledge of ASUSA and each Stockholder, threatened.

time, or both, would constitute a default or event of default), under the terms
of any material agreement to which TSET is a party or by which TSET or its
securities, properties, or businesses are bound; or constitute a violation by
TSET of any laws or judgments (other than any violation, conflict, breach, or
default that would not prevent TSET from consummating the transactions
contemplated herein or otherwise performing its obligations thereunder).
(c) There is no proceeding (whether or not the
defense thereof or liability with respect thereto is covered by policies of
insurance) pending or, to TSET's best knowledge, threatened, against TSET which

thereof from ASUSA on a regular basis. The directors of ASUSA agree to vote in

11. ARBITRATION. (a) In the event of any default or dispute between,
breach by, or other controversy involving, the parties hereto regarding the
subject matter of this Agreement (in any case, a "Dispute"), the parties shall
exert their respective good faith best efforts to amicably resolve and settle
the same. Toward this end, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each
other in good faith and understanding their mutual best interests to reach a
just and equitable solution reasonably satisfactory to them. In the event the
Dispute cannot be amicably resolved and settled through good faith negotiations,
the parties agree to submit the Dispute to arbitration rather than litigation.
(b) All arbitration proceedings instituted by
the parties hereunder shall take place in Clackamas County, Oregon and shall be
governed by the rules of the American arbitration Association (the "AAA"
applicable to contracts of this type. If the parties to the Dispute cannot agree
on the appointment of an arbitrator, the parties agree that the AAA shall

upon the parties and not subject to appeal to any court or government agency or
authority, and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not award or require the payment
of, and the parties shall not seek, incidental, consequential, or punitive
damages except in cases of bad faith breach of this Agreement, gross negligence,
or willful misconduct. The parties shall not seek to delay or prevent the
implementation of any decision of the arbitrator. The prevailing party in any
arbitration brought hereunder shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's
fees and related costs and expenses of the arbitration.
(c) The parties each acknowledge that their
agreement to resolve Disputes through arbitration constitutes a waiver of their
right to resolve Disputes in any court, and that in arbitration proceedings the
parties may not be entitled to all of the rights that would otherwise be
available to them in court proceedings.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) From and after the date of this Agreement,
ASUSA and each Stockholder jointly and severally agree to pay and to indemnify
fully, hold harmless, and defend TSET and its directors, officers, employees,
agents, representatives, attorneys, successors, and assigns from and against any
and all Liabilities, damages, penalties, Judgments, assessments, losses, fines,
charges, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney's fees and the costs and expenses of litigating any claims)
(collectively, "Damages") incurred by any of them arising out of, relating to,
or based upon:
(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty of ASUSA or any Stockholder set forth in Section 8
hereof or elsewhere herein; and
(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of
ASUSA or any Stockholder contained in this Agreement.
TSET's right to be indemnified hereunder shall not be limited or affected by any
investigation conducted or notice or knowledge obtained by or on behalf of TSET.
(b) In the event that (A) any claim, demand, or
Proceeding is asserted or instituted by any party other than the parties hereto
and their affiliates which could give rise to Damages for which TSET intends to
17
seek indemnification from ASUSA or the Stockholders hereunder (a "Third Party
Claim" or (B) TSET intends to make a claim to be indemnified by ASUSA or the
Stockholders hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (a "Direct
Claim"), TSET shall promptly, within 21 days of the date on which it first
becomes aware of the existence of such claim, send written notice to ASUSA and
the Stockholders specifying the nature of such claim or demand and the amount
(or a good faith estimate of such amount, which estimate shall not be conclusive
of any final amount of such claim and demand) (a "Claim Notice"); provided,
however, that failure to provide a Claim Notice shall not constitute any waiver
or relinquishment of TSET's rights to indemnification hereunder.
(c) In the event of a Third Party Claim, ASUSA and the
Stockholders may participate, at their own expense, in the defense thereof with
legal counsel of their own choice reasonably acceptable to TSET. Unless ASUSA
and the Stockholders shall have agreed in writing that any and all Damages to
TSET are fully covered by the indemnities provided herein, no Third Party Claim
may be settled without TSET's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(d) In the event of a Direct Claim, unless ASUSA and
the Stockholders notify TSET within 30 days after receipt of a Claim Notice that
they dispute such Direct Claim, the amount of such Direct Claim shall be
conclusively deemed a liability of ASUSA and the Stockholders and shall be paid
to TSET no later than 10 days following lapse of such 30-day period.

relinquishment for the future thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any
right, power, or privilege hereunder or any other document, instrument, or
certificate relating hereto shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

thereof) of this Agreement is adjudged illegal or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in
