                  not such Person shall have filed a statement on Schedule 13G,
                  unless such Person shall have filed a statement on Schedule

                  Voting Securities or (z) any corporation with respect to

                  respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of
                  such corporation and the combined voting power of the then
                  outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to
                  vote generally in the election of directors is then
                  beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or
                  substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
                  beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Capital
                  Stock and Voting Securities immediately prior to such
                  acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their
                  ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock and Voting Securities, as the case
                  may be, shall not constitute a Change of Control; or

                  7.2.2 Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
                  Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
                  constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any
                  individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof
                  whose election or nomination for election by TCPI's
                  shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
                  the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be
                  considered as though such individual were a member of the
                  Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
                  individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection
                  with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
                  election of the Directors of TCPI (as such terms are used in
                  Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A, or any successor section,
                  promulgated under the Exchange Act); or

                  7.2.3 Approval by the shareholders of TCPI of a
                  reorganization, merger or consolidation (a "Business
                  Combination"), in each case, with respect to which all or
                  substantially all holders of the Outstanding Capital Stock and
                  Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
                  Combination do not, following such Business Combination,
                  beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of,
                  respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
                  the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
                  securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
                  directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting
                  from Business Combination; or

                  7.2.4 A complete liquidation or dissolution of TCPI or the
                  sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
                  assets of TCPI other than to a corporation with respect to
                  which, following such sale or disposition, more than 20% of,
                  respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
                  the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
                  securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
                  directors is then owned beneficially, directly or indirectly,
                  by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
                  who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock and Voting Securities immediately
                  prior to such sale or disposition in substantially the same
                  proportion as their ownership of the Outstanding Capital Stock
                  and Voting Securities, as the case may be, immediately prior
                  to such sale or disposition.

                  7.2.5 In the event that the beneficial ownership attributable
                  to Jack L. Aronowitz's ownership of the Outstanding Capital
                  Stock or Voting Securities of TCPI ("Aronowitz Shares") is
                  reduced to less than 20%, then the 20% threshold number
                  contained in the foregoing paragraphs of this Article VII
                  shall be reduced in direct proportion to such reduction, but
                  in no event, less than 15%. By way of

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  example, if the Aronowitz Shares are reduced to 18% of the
                  Outstanding Capital Stock or Voting Securities, then the 20%
                  provisos contained in the other paragraphs of Article VII
                  shall be reduced to 18%.

         7.3 For purposes of Article VII, a "Change of Control Event" shall
mean: (i) Employee's employment with TCPI is terminated by TCPI for any reason
whatsoever or (ii) Employee terminates this Agreement with Good Reason or (iii)
the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent with the position of
Employee pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or a reduction or alteration
in the nature or status of Employee's responsibilities from those specified in
Article II or(iv) reduction in Employee's Base Salary in effect on the date a
Change in Control occurs or (v) Employee is required to perform his duties at a
location greater than twenty-five (25) miles from the current headquarters of
TCPI for a period exceeding thirty (30) days during a twelve month period.

         7.4 The provisions of this paragraph 7.4 shall apply only within the
twenty-four month period immediately following a Change of Control. TCPI's
obligation to pay Employee the compensation and to make the arrangements
provided in this Article VII herein shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, duty to mitigate, or other right
that the TCPI may have against him or anyone else. The amount shall not be
reduced by reason of Employee's securing other employment or for any other
reason. All amounts payable by TCPI hereunder shall be paid without notice or
demand, and in no event later that seven business days after such payments
become due. Except as expressly provided herein, TCPI waives all rights that it
may now have or may hereafter have conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise,
to terminate, cancel or rescind this Agreement in whole or in part. Each and
every payment made hereunder by TCPI shall be final and TCPI will not seek to
recover all or any part of such payment from Employee or from whomsoever may be
entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever. TCPI may withhold for income tax
purposes any amounts required to be withheld under applicable tax statutes and
regulations.

                        CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION
               DUTY TO RETURN INFORMATION AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

notes, financial information and all other information including copies thereof
produced by photocopy machines, computer programs, facsimile or otherwise
(collectively, the "Information") furnished to Employee or to which Employee is
exposed or obtains pursuant to this Agreement is confidential and proprietary to

cause irreparable injury to TCPI. Accordingly, Employee expressly agrees that:

                  9.1.1 Any Information which Employee receives is exposed to or
                  obtains pursuant to this Agreement, either in writing,

                  third party, person or entity and will not use such
                  Information except as specifically authorized by this

                  thereof, Employee shall be in compliance with TCPI's Conflict
                  of Interest policy as it may exist from time-to-time.

                  9.1.5 Immediately upon the termination or expiration of this
                  Agreement, Employee shall deliver to TCPI all Information
                  (regardless of the format which such Information takes) and
                  Employee shall not retain any copies of such Information. Upon
                  request, the Employee shall sign a statement prepared by TCPI
                  acknowledging that Employee has surrendered all such
                  Information to TCPI.
