Don started running a family surgical instrument manufacturing business at the age of twenty one after passing on an opportunity to play professional hockey in Europe. Over the next four years he arranged a deal with a venture capital firm that acquired a minority interest in the family business. That experience led him to enter the financial services business. For 10 years he operated as president of Tridon Financial Group, a financial services company specializing in insurance, mortgages and real estate. Developed from a startup, Don successfully developed the insurance brokerage business to over $75 million in annualized written business with offices across the country.

Your Energy, Smarter Supply Side Project Development It seems that each decade enjoys some type of stimulus or incentives that drives the development of alternate energy projects. During the 80’s, emphasis was placed on reducing source emissions from and improving efficiency of traditional energy systems such as landfills and steam plants. New, high efficiency plants replaced older, less efficient systems. Coal boilers were quickly becoming a way of the past. The late 80’s, 90’s and early 2000 gave rise to a directionally different stimulus. The natural gas industry recently underwent de-regulation as a result of a complex set of initiatives with producers and customers. This set the way for the electric industry to open its doors to a similar initiative. The net result produced a golden opportunity for independent developers to compete against utilities using initiatives mandated by state and federal governments. Non-utility energy companies were now allowed to compete with utilities and utilities were required to provide interconnection to their grid and provide back-up service. The late 2000 era is now providing a different sort of stimulus that encourages the growth and usage of renewable resources. A resurgent interest in proven technologies such as wind and solar are being highlighted. Alternate energy resources such as landfill gas, waste-to-energy and thermal systems are once again being sought as an efficient and non-polluting way to satisfy the energy needs of the Country. The US Treasury has made available a direct payment of 30% of project capital for such projects. Various federal tax incentives exist and the opportunity to capture stimulus money allocated to the states is real. The Team Energy group has been active participants in the various phases of energy supply projects over and during the last 30 years. We are well positioned to take advantage of new stimulus features to continue this business in a successful manner building on the past and taking advantage of current and future opportunities. www.teamenergy-inc.com

Your Energy, Smarter NERC Training www.teamenergy-inc.com
Your Energy, Smarter NERC Training The centerpiece of TEI’s Development capability is a unique relationship with NERC (North America Reliability Corporation) which controls the Bulk Electric System (BES – better known as The Grid). Technicians who operate the Grid must be certified by NERC and then maintain their certification with 50-70 hours of continuing education (CE) per year. TEI will be one of the select few organizations authorized by NERC to provide this training to operators and award them CE credits. NERC has approximately 100 Reliability Standards with which all entities connected to the Grid must comply. In June 2009 FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) appointed NERC as its enforcement agency for reliability standards. Prior to this date the NERC standards had been voluntary even though most entities connected to the Grid were already members. However, the FERC appointment gave NERC the authority and mandate to assess fines for non compliance to the Reliability Standards. TEI’s classes for Certified System Operator (CSO’s) are all based on the NERC Standards. Each class carries full Standards credits and some also provide emergency credits also required for CSO’s) The relationship with NERC also provides access to all the entities connected to the Grid. These entities need assistance with the reliability standards audits and since TEI writes the classes for operators based on these standards, assisting clients with compliance is a natural follow on business. TEI NERC services include a Subscription Service to alert clients to changes in Standards, new Standards, interpretations resulting from audits and other similar information. This service includes Compliance Audit Support services to assist clients with their preparation and documentation for their compliance audit. TEI has access to NERC data including which entities are going to be audited, when and on which standards the audit will focus. www.teamenergy-inc.com
Your Energy, Smarter UCF Business Incubation Program Team Energy Inc. has been chosen as one of the inaugural businesses to set up an office at the brand new UCF Business Incubator in St. Cloud, FL. Construction is scheduled to complete before the second half of 2010, so Team Energy is planning to move in very soon. The goal of the UCF Business Incubation Program (UCFBIP) and its community partners is to facilitate smarter, faster startup and growth of emerging companies so those companies will become financially successful, high growth companies in the community. UCFBIP clients are provided an array of business development services and resources to help accelerate growth. The formal incubation process takes place through a series of strategic and tactical working sessions. The strategic sessions are designed to help define the company business, market and capital strategies and to build the business plan. Expertise and resources are identified for the company to utilize in addressing tactical needs as they are identified through the strategy sessions or through other informal interactions with Incubator staff and advisors. Regular education and networking programs also are designed to address the shared needs identified among UCFBIP clients. Graduation takes place when a client has achieved a level of financial and corporate growth that enables them to leave the incubator and enter the second stage of corporate growth. www.teamenergy-inc.com
Your Energy, Smarter Executive Summary The attached spreadsheets define a 5 year pro forma for the various segments of the Team Energy components. Founded in 1995 by Chris Scerra, its early focus was in demand side project development. TEI's core management team today has extensive supply side development experience as well as equal knowledge on NERC standards and processes. We also focus on staying in touch with technology advances and pride ourselves on providing attentive customer service through our experienced support staff. The NERC relationship affords TEI with a level of credibility and access to the power industry that sets it apart from other developers. The seasoned veterans of the team help to focus on successful development opportunities by identifying fatal flaws early in the pre development analysis process. The Smart Grid style application of state of the art technology drives TEI design, construction and operations. and in house “Nerd Nest” keeps all aspects up to date with the latest technological advances. Development capital is needed to advance TEI to the next level. Because of existing relationships, the capital needed to obtain the NERC status required to provide online training and Compliance Audit Support is modest. The expertise and experience in writing the classes and Compliance Alerts is already resident in the core team, who have successfully developed NERC curriculums for Engineering schools such as Iowa State University and participated in Federal grant proposals for Smart Grid training with ISU, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M; and obtained “NERC Approved CE Provider” status for other consulting groups. Capital for specific supply side and demand side projects is needed to move the projects which have been identified as viable through the predevelopment stages to obtain Energy Performance Contracts, Power Purchase agreements, fuel and entitlement agreements. Most of this work is within the expertise of the TEI core team. Many of the outside vendor requirements for predevelopment are also available on a success basis. Costs to be covered by development capital are detailed in the attached pro forma. www.teamenergy-inc.com
