Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Directors, officers, employees and agents of Team and/or the subsidiary
banks may be entitled to benefit from the indemnification provisions contained
in the Kansas General Corporation Code (the "KGCC"), Team's Articles of
Incorporation and certain indemnification provisions. The general effect of
these provisions is summarized below:

         Section 17-6305 of the KGCC permits a Kansas corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
suit, action or other proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, or other enterprise. Such
indemnification may be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and other amounts in connection with such proceeding. Indemnification is
available if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable
cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Unless a court of competent
jurisdiction otherwise orders, indemnification is not available in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation if the person is
adjudged liable to the corporation. A corporation is required to indemnify a
director or officer who is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any such proceeding. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation in defending any such
proceeding may be advanced by the corporation before the final disposition if
such person furnishes an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. Before a
corporation may indemnify or advance expenses to a person under these
provisions, the board of directors (excluding any directors who are parties to
such a proceeding), independent legal counsel appointed by the board of
directors, or the shareholders must provide authorization. A corporation may
purchase insurance against any liability of individuals for whom the corporation
may provide such indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses authorized by the KGCC is not exclusive of any other rights that such
persons may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

         Article Eleventh of Team's Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation provides powers to indemnify and make advances to any person, or
such person's estate, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding that such person is involved in due to their capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent of Team or any other entity in which
they were serving at the request of Team.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

             Statement).

----------

(1)      Filed herewith.

(2)      Filed under the same exhibit number with Registration Statement on
         Form S-1, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-76163 declared
         effective by the Commission on August 6, 2001) and incorporated herein
         by reference.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         A.  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;

                  (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                                       6

<PAGE>




         C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Directors, officers, employees and agents of Team and/or the subsidiary
banks may be entitled to benefit from the indemnification provisions contained
in the Kansas General Corporation Code (the "KGCC"), Team's Articles of
Incorporation and certain indemnification provisions. The general effect of
these provisions is summarized below:

         Section 17-6305 of the KGCC permits a Kansas corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
suit, action or other proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, or other enterprise. Such
indemnification may be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and other amounts in connection with such proceeding. Indemnification is
available if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable
cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Unless a court of competent
jurisdiction otherwise orders, indemnification is not available in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation if the person is
adjudged liable to the corporation. A corporation is required to indemnify a
director or officer who is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any such proceeding. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation in defending any such
proceeding may be advanced by the corporation before the final disposition if
such person furnishes an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. Before a
corporation may indemnify or advance expenses to a person under these
provisions, the board of directors (excluding any directors who are parties to
such a proceeding), independent legal counsel appointed by the board of
directors, or the shareholders must provide authorization. A corporation may
purchase insurance against any liability of individuals for whom the corporation
may provide such indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses authorized by the KGCC is not exclusive of any other rights that such
persons may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

         Article Eleventh of Team's Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation provides powers to indemnify and make advances to any person, or
such person's estate, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding that such person is involved in due to their capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent of Team or any other entity in which
they were serving at the request of Team.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.

             Statement).

----------

(1)      Filed herewith.

(2)      Filed under the same exhibit number with Registration Statement on
         Form S-1, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-76163 declared
         effective by the Commission on August 6, 2001) and incorporated herein
         by reference.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         A.  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;

                  (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                                       6
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
