(a) Release Upon CVA Effective Date. Upon (a) the conclusion by TNCI
UK Ltd. (the "Subsidiary") of a Company Voluntary Arrangement with its
creditors under Part I of the Insolvency ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, (b) the concurrent
discharge of the administration order under the Insolvency ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to
which Subsidiary is subject, (c) the approval by the boards of directors
of each of Subsidiary and the Company of resolutions in form and substance
satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Purchasers authorizing
Subsidiary to become jointly and severally obligated with the Company for
the loan of Secured Proceeds and to give security therefor, and (d) the
creation by Subsidiary in favor and for the benefit of the Purchasers of
(i) a first legal mortgage of all of Subsidiary's freehold and leasehold
property and of all of Subsidiary's shares, bonds or other securities and
investments, (ii) a first fixed charge of all of Subsidiary's plant and
machinery, accounts, agreements, instruments, insurance, intellectual
property and other assets, and (iii) a first floating charge of all of
Subsidiary's assets not at any time otherwise effectively mortgaged,
charged or assigned by way of fixed mortgage, charge or assignment in
favor of the Purchasers, such security to be in form and substance
satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Purchasers (the date on
which all of the foregoing actions shall have been completed and not
revoked or rescinded to be referred to as the "CVA Effective Date"), the
Company shall provide each Purchaser with evidence of the occurrence of
the CVA Effective Date, which evidence shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to Purchasers of a majority in interest of the outstanding
Principal Amount of Debentures ("Purchaser Majority"), wherefrom such
Purchaser Majority and the Company shall promptly thereafter execute a
joint certificate to the Custodian certifying that the CVA Effective Date
has occurred (a "CVA Certificate", such release upon the CVA Effective
Date shall be a "CVA Release" and such date of a CVA Release shall be the
"CVA Release Date"). Promptly after its receipt of a CVA Certificate, the
Custodian shall release all of the Secured Proceeds to the account
specified in the written instructions of the Company, net of actual legal
fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the lien
granted to the Purchasers by the Subsidiary in all of the assets of the
Subsidiary.
(b) Release Upon Conversion of Debentures. Upon the conversion by
any Purchaser of all or part of the principal amount of the Debenture(s)
held by such Purchaser in excess of such Purchaser's Pro Rata Fraction of
the sum of $_______________(1) (the "Pro Rata Fraction" is defined as the
Principal Amount of the Purchaser divided by the aggregate Principal
Amount that all of the Purchasers paid for in cash at the Closing) (the
"Converted Principal Amount"), such Purchaser and the Company shall
promptly thereafter execute a joint certificate to the Custodian
certifying that such Converted Principal Amount has been converted by the
Purchaser (a "Conversion Certificate", such release upon Conversion shall
be a "Conversion Release" and such date of a Conversion Release shall be
the "Conversion Release Date"). Promptly after its receipt of a Conversion
Certificate, the Custodian shall release out of the Secured Proceeds,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 1(g), to the account
specified in the written instructions of the Company, an amount equal to
the Converted Principal Amount.
----------
(1) 75% of the aggregate Subscription Amounts.
4
(c) Release Upon Consent of Purchasers. Upon receipt by the Company
of written consent of each Purchaser to release any portion of the Secured
Proceeds, the Company and each Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the
Custodian a joint certificate (each, a "Consent Certificate" such release
upon consent shall be a "Consent Release" and such date of a Consent
Release shall be the "Consent Release Date") certifying that consent to
release such Secured Proceeds has been obtained, which Consent Certificate
shall include the amount of the Secured Proceeds to be released,
representations from each Purchaser as to the outstanding Principal Amount
of the Debentures held by it at the time such consent was obtained, and a
representation by the Company's chief financial officer as to the
aggregate Principal Amount of the Debentures outstanding at the time
consent was obtained. Any Purchaser may consent or withhold consent to any
such release of any of the Secured Proceeds in its sole and absolute
discretion. Upon receipt of the Consent Certificate, the Custodian shall
release, to the account of the Company designated in the Consent
Certificate, subject to Section 1(g), the portion of the Secured Proceeds
specified in the Consent Certificate. If less than all of the Secured
Proceeds are released, the remaining amount, for purposes of calculating
each Purchaser's rights hereunder, shall be re-allocated according to such
Purchaser's Pro Rata Portion.
(d) Release Upon an Event of Default. At any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, any Purchaser may, at its option,
deliver a certificate to the Custodian and the Company specifying the
nature of the Event of Default. If, within ten days after its receipt of
such certificate, the Custodian shall not have received written notice
from the Company that it disputes the occurrence of such Event of Default,
then the Custodian shall release to such Purchaser's Portion of the
Secured Proceeds remaining in the Custodial Account, subject to Section
1(g). In the event that the Company does deliver a timely notice to the
Custodian and each Purchaser that it disputes such determination, then
such dispute shall be resolved between the Company and the Purchaser by
arbitration conducted as follows: the arbitration shall be conducted in
New York, New York, before an arbitration panel of three arbitrators, one
of whom shall be selected by the Purchaser, one of whom shall be selected
by the Company, with the remaining arbitrator to be agreed upon by the
first two. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then
in effect. Any arbitration decision or award shall be final and conclusive
as to the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns;
judgment upon such decision or award may be entered in any competent
court. In the event that the arbitration shall be decided in favor of the
applicable Purchaser, then upon delivery of a written copy of such
decision by the Purchaser to the Custodian, the Custodian shall promptly
release the Purchaser's remaining Secured Proceeds to the Purchaser,
subject to Section 1(g).
(e) Release Upon Forced Conversion. Upon written notice by the
Company and any Purchaser to the Custodian that the Company has properly
forced conversion of the Debentures, pursuant to Section 6 of the
Debentures, then, such Purchaser and the Company shall promptly thereafter
execute a joint certificate to the Custodian certifying that such amount
under the Forced Conversion (as defined in the Debenture) has been
converted (a "Forced Conversion Certificate", such release upon a Forced
Conversion shall be a "Forced Conversion Release" and such date of a
Forced Conversion Release shall be the "Forced Conversion Release Date");
5
provided, however, if such Purchaser does not execute a Forced Conversion
Certificate to the Custodian or does not object to the Company and the
Custodian to the execution of such Forced Conversion Certificate within 5
Trading Days after written and confirmed notice to such Purchaser from the
Company of such request for release pursuant to this Section 2(e), then
such Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to such release. Promptly
after its receipt of a Forced Conversion Certificate, the Custodian shall
release the Secured Proceeds to the account specified in the written
instructions of the Company, in an amount equal to the ratio that the
amount of principal amount of Debentures subject to the Forced Conversion
bears to the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures.
(f) Procedure for Release. In the event that any CVA Release Date,
Conversion Release Date, Consent Release, release upon an Event of Default
or Forced Conversion Release (collectively, the "Release" and, the date of
such Release, the "Release Date") is not a Business Day (as defined
herein), then such Release shall be deemed to be the next Business Day.
"Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a
day on which banks are required or permitted to be closed in the State of
New York. In the event that any of the Secured Proceeds shall have been
paid in whole or in part on or prior to the applicable Release Date, the
Company shall provide immediate telephonic notice thereof to the
Purchasers and to the Custodian, promptly followed by written confirmation
to such parties, and the amount requested pursuant to such Release shall
be reduced by the aggregate amount of payments received by the Company in
satisfaction of such Release.
3. Security Agreement.
(a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the
Purchasers, to secure the payment and performance in full when due of all
of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), a continuing
first priority security interest in, and so pledges and assigns to the
Purchasers all of, the Secured Proceeds and any interest that accrues
thereon ("Collateral"). Such security interest is set forth in the
Security Agreement. The security interest in the Secured Proceeds shall
terminate upon the release of all of the Secured Proceeds from the
Custodial Account, it being understood however that the Company's
obligations under the Debentures shall remain in full force and effect.
(b) Further Assurances. The Company agrees that at any time and from
time to time, at the expense of the Company, the Company shall promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments, documents and/or control
agreements and take all further action, that may be necessary or
desirable, or that the Purchasers may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby or to enable any Purchaser to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.
(c) Rights and Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, and without any other notice to or demand upon the
Company, the Purchasers shall have, in any jurisdiction in which
enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and
remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the
"UCC") and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a
secured party in any applicable jurisdiction.
6
(d) Power of Attorney. The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Purchasers, and each of them, and any officer, partner,
member or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
name, place and stead of the Company or in their own names, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby
gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Company,
without notice to or assent by the Company, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, to sell, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the
Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the UCC and as fully and
completely as though the Purchasers were the absolute owners thereof for
all purposes, and to do, at the Company's expense, at any time or from
time to time, all acts and things which the Purchasers deem necessary or
useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
security interest of the Purchasers therein, in order to effect the intent
of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as the Company
might do.
(e) Marshalling. All rights and remedies of the Purchasers hereunder
and in respect of the Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however
existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Company
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling
of assets which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the
rights and remedies of the Purchasers under this Agreement, the
Debentures, the other Transaction Documents or under any other instrument
creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the
Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured
or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and to the extent that it
lawfully may, the Company hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all
such law.
(f) No Waiver, etc. The Purchasers shall not be deemed to have
waived any of their rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or
the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the
Purchasers. No delay or omission on the part of the Purchasers in
exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or
remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any
future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Purchasers with respect to
the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any
other document or instrument, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at
such times as the Purchasers deem expedient.
7
(g) Certain Defined Terms. Terms used in this Section 3 but not
otherwise defined in this Agreement that are defined in the UCC (as such
term is hereinafter defined) shall have the respective meanings given such
terms therein; provided, however, that if a term is defined in Article 9
of the UCC differently than in another Article of the UCC, then such term
shall have the meaning specified in Article 9. "UCC" means the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of New York.
4. Conditions to Custodian's Duties. The acceptance by the Custodian of
its duties as such under this Agreement is subject to the following terms and
conditions, which all of the parties to this Agreement hereby agree shall govern
and control with respect to the rights, duties, liabilities and immunities of
the Custodian:

agreement by which the other parties hereto may be bound (whether or not
it has knowledge of such), other than as expressly herein set forth.
(b) The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any written
notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other document which the
Custodian, in good faith, believes to be genuine and what it purports to
be. No waiver or any breach of any covenant or provision herein contained
shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or
of any other covenant or provision herein contained. No extension of time
for performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of
the time for performance of any other obligation or act. If the Custodian
reasonably requires other or further instruments in connection with this
Agreement or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto
shall join in furnishing such instruments.
(c) The Custodian shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company and the Purchasers, jointly and severally, from and against any
and all loss, expense, fees (including attorneys' fees) and damages that
may be incurred by the Custodian as a result of its agreeing to act in
such capacity and its performance of this Agreement. The Custodian shall
not be obligated to any party for any error in judgment or for any act
done or steps taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of
fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection therewith, except as a result of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. This indemnity includes the costs of enforcing the
indemnification (including attorneys' fees).
(d) The Custodian may consult with or retain legal counsel in
connection with any dispute or question as to the construction of any of
the provisions hereof or with regard to its duties and shall be held
harmless and protected by the Company and the Purchasers in acting in good
faith in accordance with the instructions of such counsel. Such counsel's
fees and expenses shall be paid as set forth in Section 4(f) hereof. The
Custodian may represent itself at its usual rates.

for time spent in performing its duties under this Agreement, and if any
of Custodian's invoices are not paid in full within 30 days, the Custodian
is directed to pay itself directly from the Custodial Account; provided
that if fees are taken directly from the Custodial Account by the
Custodian, the Purchasers shall have no claim against the Custodian for
such funds but shall have a claim against the Company for reimbursement.
The Company shall promptly replenish any funds that are disbursed to the
Custodian from the Custodial Account.
(g) The Custodian shall have no obligation to seek to maximize the
rate of interest on the Secured Proceeds, and shall be without liability
to any person in respect thereof.
(h) No modification of this Agreement shall, without the consent of
the Custodian and all other parties hereto, modify the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the duties, obligations or rights of the Custodian.
This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the entire
agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto.
5. Conflict with Respect to Collateral.
(a) In the event that the Custodian at any time receives or
becomes aware of conflicting demands or claims with respect to the
Collateral, this Agreement or its duties hereunder, the Custodian
shall have the right to discontinue and refrain from any and all
activities on its part under this Agreement or in connection
herewith until such conflict is resolved to its satisfaction.
(b) The Custodian shall have the further right to commence or
defend any action or proceedings for the determination of such
conflict. The Company and the Purchasers jointly and severally agree
to pay all costs, damages, judgments and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, suffered or incurred by the Custodian in
connection with or arising out of this Agreement and the
transactions described herein in the event of bona fide conflicting
claims or demands, including, but without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, a suit in interpleader brought by the Custodian. In
the event that the Custodian files a suit in interpleader, it shall
thereupon be fully released and discharged from all further
obligations to perform any and all duties or obligations imposed
upon it by this Agreement (except it may not release the Collateral
except as designated by the court).
6. Acknowledgement. All parties hereto agree that the Custodian is counsel
for Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd. ("Bristol") and shall be entitled to represent
Bristol with respect to the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereunder; and the Company and each other Purchaser hereby waives any right or
claim to object to such legal representation by Custodian of Bristol in
connection with this transaction.
7. Resignation of Custodian. The Custodian may at any time resign
hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the Company and the
Purchasers, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified for such
resignation to take effect, and upon the effective date of such resignation, all
property then held by the Custodian hereunder shall be delivered by it to such
9
Person as may be designated by the Company and the Purchasers, in writing,
whereupon all the Custodian's obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.
If no such Person shall have been designated by such date, all obligations of
the Custodian hereunder shall, nevertheless, cease and terminate. The
Custodian's sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep safely all property
then held by it and to deliver the same to a Person designated by the parties
hereto or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, or to file a suit in interpleader as provided
in Section 5 above.
8. Interest on Secured Proceeds. The Custodian shall owe no duty and have
no obligation whatsoever to the Company or the Purchasers to obtain or maintain
any level of interest on the Secured Proceeds.
9. Successors and Assigns. The Purchasers may assign their rights
hereunder in connection with the transfer of Debentures. The Company may not
assign its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
