upon the acquisition thereof, to pledge, assign, transfer and deliver to the
Secured Party, pursuant to this Agreement any and all additional items of
Collateral hereafter acquired by it, directly or indirectly. The Pledgor agrees

irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Secured Party (and each person
designated by the Secured Party) the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact
of the Pledgor, with full power (in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise):

any other party holding a certificate or other instrument evidencing the
Pledgor's ownership of any Collateral to record such transfer upon the official
records (including the transfer register) of such entity,
(f) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the
Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of the
Collateral,

Pledgor with respect to the Collateral; and
(h) perform such other acts as are necessary to preserve and
protect the Collateral and the rights, power and remedies granted with respect
to such Collateral by this Agreement.
SECTION 6. CARE OF COLLATERAL; NO DUTY ON SECURED PARTY'S PART. The
Secured Party shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
the Collateral. However, the Secured Party shall have no obligation to (i)
initiate any action with respect to, or otherwise inform Pledgor of, any
conversion, call, exchange right, preemptive right, subscription right, purchase
offer or other right or privilege relating to or affecting the Collateral, (ii)
preserve the rights of Pledgor against adverse claims or protect the Collateral
against the possibility of a decline in market value or (iii) take any action
with respect to the Collateral requested by Pledgor unless the request is made

jeopardize the value of the Collateral as security for the Promissory Note. The
powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the
Secured Party's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,

responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for
its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) below all unpaid Obligations shall
immediately become due and payable, or (B) if such event is any other Event of
Default, the Secured Party may, at any time thereafter at its option, declare

SECTION 8. REMEDIES.
7
8.1. Rights Upon Default.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted
to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") as in effect from time to
time in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice
specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the
Pledgor or any other person (all and each of which demands, presentment,
protest, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions
as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on
credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.
The Pledgor further agrees, at the Secured Party's request, to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the
Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Pledgor's premises or
elsewhere. The Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment
in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party may
elect, and only after such application and payment in full of the Obligations
and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any
provision of law need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to the
Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all
claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed
sale or disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
deemed reasonably and properly given if given (effective upon dispatch) in any
manner provided in this Agreement at least ten days before such sale or
disposition.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Secured Party may (but need not), upon notice to the Pledgor, exercise all
voting and other rights of the Pledgor as a holder of the Collateral and the
Secured Party shall receive all permitted dividends and distributions, if any,
made for the account of the Pledgor as a holder of the Collateral.
(c) Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, any sums due from Secured Party or TWUK
under any employment, consulting, severance, non-competition or similar
agreement, including without
8
limitation that certain employment agreement between TWUS and Employee dated
September 24, 2001, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or
augmented from time to time, (all of the aforementioned, "Compensation
Agreements") may be, on an after-tax basis applied to or set off against any
obligations of Employee to Secured Party under this Agreement, the Promissory
Note or the Indemnification Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that to the extent there exist or are determined to exist inconsistencies
between the terms and provisions of any Compensation Agreement and this
Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.
8.2. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any
act (except pursuant to the execution of a written instrument pursuant to
Section 12 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of
Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Promissory Note shall operate
as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under the Promissory Note shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Promissory Note on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right
or remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.
Each right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided herein or in the
Promissory Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to
every other right, power or remedy provided for herein or in the Promissory Note
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. In
addition to all other rights, powers and remedies, the Secured Party shall have
the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the Code.
SECTION 9. VOTING RIGHTS. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Pledgor may exercise all stockholder voting rights
pertaining to the Collateral.

agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and
