 For the attention of Mike Carrender (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Carl Freer (Managing Director, Gizmondo Europe Limited)("Gizmondo")
       -------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sirs,

   Tiger Telematics, Inc (the "Company", to include any holding company of the
company, subsidiary, associated company, affiliate company or successor entity)

   Potential acquisition of certain subsidiaries or assets and liabilities of
          Warthog plc ("Warthog" or the "Vendor") (the "Transaction")

This letter sets out the terms of engagement of Durlacher Ltd  ("Durlacher")  by
the Company to act for it as its exclusive  financial adviser in relation to the
Transaction  (the  "Engagement").  It is  understood  that the  Transaction  may
include  some or all of the  businesses,  subsidiaries,  assets and  liabilities
currently owned by Warthog plc and that the  consideration is likely to comprise
a combination  of Tiger shares and a smaller  element of cash. For the avoidance
of doubt,  the terms of the  Engagement  represent an agreed basis for an assets
and  liabilities  transaction  only and assume the completion of the transaction
within 30 days. In the event that the  transaction  were to become a UK offer or
reverse takeover  governed by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers,  Durlacher
would  need to  propose  and  agree an  alternative  fee  structure,  likely  to
encompass a higher monthly retainer  (reflecting a greater  complexity of issues
to contend with), documentation fee and a success fee.

Durlacher's  Standard  Terms and  Conditions  and  Indemnity  are  contained  in
Schedules 3 and 4 respectively of this letter and are deemed to form an integral
part of the Engagement.

Durlacher  has provided and will  provide  formal  advice to the Company and its
Board of Directors in relation to the  Transaction  as  specifically  set out in
Schedule 1 to this letter.  In  consideration  of the services to be rendered by
Durlacher, the Company shall pay or procure payment to Durlacher of the sums set
out in Schedule 2 to this letter, plus VAT if applicable, at the times stated in
Schedule  2.  Durlacher  will  deliver to the  Company  proper VAT  invoices  as
applicable prior to the time payment is due.

DURLACHER

Durlacher's obligation in relation to the Engagement is to advise the Company as
we see fit, in what we perceive to be the Company's best interests, in the light
of  circumstances  prevailing at the time at which such advice is given. For the
avoidance of doubt,  Durlacher shall not be responsible for providing any advice
in  relation  to the  Company's  obligations  to the SEC,  NASDAQ  or any  other
responsibilities under US law or any other US regulatory body.

Durlacher  is a  financial  institution  which is a member of the  London  Stock
Exchange  Plc  and  regulated  by the  FSA  pursuant  to the  provisions  of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

This Engagement shall be deemed to have commenced on 12 October 2004.

The schedules  hereto are deemed to be incorporated in this letter.  Please sign
and return the attached  copy of this letter to indicate  your  agreement to its
terms.

Yours faithfully,

                                   SCHEDULE 2
                                   ----------

                         Fees, Commissions and Expenses

1      For the services  described in Schedule 1, a  non-refundable  retainer of
       25,000 GBP (plus VAT if  applicable)  will be payable  by the  Company to
       Durlacher upon signing of this Engagement.

2      In the event of successful  completion of the Transaction,  a success fee
       of 50,000 GBP (plus VAT if applicable)  will be payable by the Company to
       Durlacher.  Successful  completion of the Transaction  shall be deemed to
       have  occurred  upon the signing of the sale and  purchase  agreement  in
       respect of the  Transaction.  For the  avoidance of doubt,  the timing of
       payment  for this fee shall not be  contingent  upon the  release  of any
       funds  or  securities  held  in  escrow  to  satisfy  part  or all of the
       consideration to be paid in the Transaction, nor shall it be dependent in
       any way upon  any  other  conditionality  contained  within  the sale and
       purchase agreement.

       For the  purpose  of this  Engagement,  the  Transaction  shall  mean any
       agreement or series or  combination  of agreements  whereby,  directly or
       indirectly,  a  material  interest  in  some  or all  of the  businesses,
       subsidiaries,  assets or liabilities of Warthog plc is transferred to the
       Company  for  consideration,  including,  without  limitation,  a sale or
       exchange of capital stock or assets,  a lease of assets with or without a
       purchase option, a merger or consolidation, a tender or exchange offer, a
       leveraged buy-out, the formation of a joint venture,  minority investment
       or partnership.

3      All out of pocket  expenses  incurred  by  Durlacher,  at its  reasonable
       discretion,  payable as notified to the  Company.  For the  avoidance  of
       doubt such  expenses  may include  costs of legal  advice,  provision  of
       conference call facilities, travel and subsistence.

                                   SCHEDULE 3
                                   ----------

1.     Application
       -----------

       These are the  standard  terms and  conditions,  on and subject to which,
       Durlacher will provide any services to the Company.  These standard terms
       and  conditions  remain in full  force and  effect  unless  and until the
       relationship   between   Durlacher  and  the  Company  is  terminated  in
       accordance  with  paragraph  13. Where there is any conflict  between the
       express terms of any letter of engagement  from  Durlacher to the Company
       (an  "Engagement  Letter") and these terms and  conditions,  the existing
       Engagement Letter will prevail.

2.     Durlacher Advice
       ----------------

       The Company  agrees that any advice  rendered  by  Durlacher  is provided
       solely for the purposes of any relevant  engagement between Durlacher and
       the Company and for the  Company's  benefit and may not be used or relied
       on for any other purpose  without the prior written consent of Durlacher.
       No  reference  to  Durlacher  or to  its  advice  is to be  made  in  any
       publication  made by the Company or any holding company of the Company or
       by any subsidiary or associated company of such holding company (together
       "the Group") or on their  behalf,  without the prior consent of Durlacher
       unless required by any legal or regulatory obligation.

3.     Fees, Commissions and Expenses
       ------------------------------

       Any fees,  commissions or expenses payable as described in Schedule 2 may
       be invoiced by  Durlacher  Limited,  Durlacher  Corporation  plc or other
       companies  owned by Durlacher  Corporation  plc, as  appropriate.  To the
       extent that  Durlacher  incurs  charges on the  Company's  behalf such as
       London  Stock  Exchange  or  Takeover  Panel fees or charges  for issuing
       announcements  via a  primary  information  provider,  such  fees will be
       recharged to the Company.

4.     Indemnity
       ---------

       The  indemnity  contained  in  Schedule  4 is  deemed  to be part of this
       letter.  By executing the  counterpart of this letter the Company accepts
       such  terms  and  conditions  and  agrees  to be bound  by the  indemnity
       contained in Schedule 4.

5.     Provision of Information
       ------------------------

       The Company  agrees that it will provide all  information  concerning the
       business and affairs of the Group which is relevant to Durlacher  for the
       provision  of the  services  pursuant  to any  Engagement  Letter  and to
       provide all such other  information as Durlacher may reasonably  request.
       The Company undertakes that all information so provided shall be true and
       accurate in all material respects,  will not be misleading,  and will not
       contain any material  omissions.  The Company  agrees with Durlacher that
       Durlacher  will  not be  responsible  for the  verification  of any  such
       information  and shall accept no  responsibility  for its  accuracy.  The
       Company  undertakes that every statement of opinion or intention  therein
       will be honestly held and fairly based and that if anything occurs within
       a reasonable time thereafter to render any such

                                                                               5

DURLACHER

       statement untrue, unfair or misleading, it will promptly notify Durlacher
       and take all steps as Durlacher may require to correct such statement.

6.     Approval of Documents
       ---------------------

       The Company agrees that it will not, and it will procure, in so far as it
       is  legally  able,  that  none  of its  officers,  directors,  employees,
       representatives  and  agents  from  time to time,  subsidiaries,  holding
       company (if any) and each of the subsidiaries of such holding company and
       each of their respective officers, directors, employees,  representatives
       and agents from time to time (all  together  called  "Associates")  will,
       publish or permit or procure the  publication of any document,  statement
       or  communication  in  connection  with or relating to Durlacher  for the
       provision of the services  pursuant to these terms and conditions  and/or
       any Engagement  Letter without the prior consent of Durlacher.  Durlacher
       shall not be responsible for ensuring the truth,  accuracy,  completeness
       or fairness of any statement or  publication  made by or on behalf of the
       Company or any of its advisers in connection or relating to Durlacher for
       the  provision  of the  services  pursuant to these terms and  conditions
       and/or any Engagement Letter , this being the sole  responsibility of the
       Company  and  its   Directors.   The  Company   will  ensure  that  every
       announcement,  public  statement  or document  made or  published  by the
       Company or any Associate or on its or their behalf  relating to Durlacher
       for the provision of the services  pursuant to these terms and conditions
       and/or any  Engagement  Letter will comply with all  applicable  laws and
       regulations.   If  for  any  reason  any  such  document,   statement  or
       communication  is published or made without the consent of Durlacher  the
       Company  acknowledges  that  Durlacher  shall be  entitled to publish any
       documents, statements or communications as it thinks fit in the interests
       of Durlacher.

7.     Powers of Durlacher
       -------------------

       The  Engagement   confers  on  Durlacher  all  powers,   authorities  and
       discretions on the Company's  behalf which are necessary for,  reasonably
       incidental  to, or  customary  in the  provision  of, the  services to be
       provided pursuant to that engagement. The Company hereby agrees to ratify
       and confirm everything,  which Durlacher shall lawfully and reasonably do
       in the exercise of such powers, authorities and discretion.

8.     Material Interests
       ------------------

       So far as Durlacher's own activities are concerned,  potential  conflicts
       may on occasion  arise  between its duties to the Company and to other of
       its clients and between its duties to the Company and its own  interests.
       Durlacher  has  established,  as  permitted  under  the Rules of the FSA,
       "Chinese Wall" procedures  designed to ensure that in providing corporate
       finance services to any particular  client, the individuals are insulated
       from information known to individuals working in other divisions.

       The Company  accepts that Durlacher  may, on occasion,  have interests or
       duties which  conflict with the Company's  interests and would  otherwise
       conflict with the duties owed by Durlacher to the Company. Durlacher will
       be  obliged  to  disregard  any such  interest  when it is acting for the
       Company.

                                                                               6
<PAGE>

DURLACHER

       The Company also accepts  that, in acting for it,  Durlacher  will not be
       required  to  disclose  to it,  nor to make use for its  benefit  of, any
       information known to Durlacher which (i) belongs to or is confidential to
       another client of Durlacher or (ii) belongs to or is  confidential to any
       of its holding  company,  subsidiary or fellow  subsidiary or (iii) which
       belongs to or is confidential to Durlacher and relates to some other part
       of its business than the provision of corporate finance services.

9.     Confidentiality
       ---------------

       Each of Durlacher  and the Company  undertakes to keep  confidential  any
       confidential information concerning the business,  affairs,  directors or
       employees  of the  other  which  comes  into its  possession  during  any
       engagement  and not to use any such  information  for any purposes  other
       than that for which it was provided. The Company acknowledges and accepts
       that Durlacher (or a Durlacher  Associate,  as defined in Schedule 4) may
       be required or that it may be,  having  regards to the  circumstances  be
       reasonably  advisable for Durlacher or a Durlacher  Associate to disclose
       information  and  deliver  documentation   relating  to  the  Company  to
       governmental  or  regulatory   agencies  and  authorities  and  expressly
       authorises  any such  disclosure  and  delivery.  All  correspondence  or
       documentation  written by or contributed to by Durlacher or any Durlacher
       Associate  in  relation to any  engagement  and in the custody or control
       shall remain the sole property of Durlacher.

       The Company  acknowledges and accepts that Durlacher may be prohibited or
       that it may be inappropriate for Durlacher to disclose information to the
       Company  by  reason of law or  duties  of  confidentiality  owed to other
       persons.

       The Company  agrees that  Durlacher  may,  with the prior  consent of the
       Company  and if  appropriate  and on a  confidential  basis,  provide any
       Durlacher  Associate,  which could assist in the provision of services by
       Durlacher  pursuant to these terms and  conditions  and/or any Engagement
       Letter, with relevant information about the Group or that engagement.

10.    Company's Money
       ---------------

       Funds belonging to the Company which come under the custody or control of
       Durlacher or any Durlacher Associate during the provision of its services
       hereunder shall be treated as client money for the purposes of the Client
       Money Rules  contained  in the FSA  Handbook - Conduct of Business  Rules
       where those Regulations  require Durlacher or the Durlacher  Associate to
       do so.

11.    Legal and Regulatory Requirements
       ---------------------------------

       The Company  confirms and undertakes that it has all necessary powers and
       has obtained all necessary authorisations, consents and approvals validly
       and lawfully to enter into any relevant  Engagement  Letter,  these terms
       and conditions and the indemnity comprised in Schedule 4.

       The Company undertakes that (save as expressly  disclosed to Durlacher in
       writing)  it has and  undertakes  that it shall  maintain  all  necessary
       consents  and  authorisations  for  Durlacher  to carry out any  relevant
       engagement. The Company agrees that it will comply and will, in so far

                                                                               7
<PAGE>

DURLACHER

       as it is legally able,  procure that all its Associates  will comply,  in
       all material  respects,  with all relevant  laws and  regulations  in any
       relevant  jurisdiction  including,  in relation to the United Kingdom all
       relevant  provisions of the Companies  Acts,  the Financial  Services and
       Markets Act 2000, The Public Offers of Securities  Regulations  1995, the
       Criminal  Justice Act 1993,  the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers,  the
       Substantial Acquisition Rules, the instructions of the Panel on Takeovers
       and Mergers and the Rules and  Regulations of the London Stock  Exchange,
       Alternative  Investment Market and Ofex (as applicable).  In carrying out
       its  obligations  to  the  Company  pursuant  to the  Engagement  Letter,
       Durlacher is also subject to (as well as the range of applicable  laws) a
       number  of rules  and  regulations  and the  requirements  of a number of
       regulators.  The Company  agrees that the duties of  Durlacher to it will
       not restrict  the freedom of Durlacher to take all steps which  Durlacher
       considers to be reasonably  necessary to comply with the laws,  rules and
       regulations applicable to Durlacher.

       The Company  undertakes to obtain  appropriate  advice  (including  legal
       advice) in respect of all laws and regulations which may be applicable to
       it in the UK or any other  jurisdiction in connection with any engagement
       and to  communicate  such advice to Durlacher if it is or may be relevant
       to the carrying out by Durlacher of its services to the Company.

12.    Transactions in Investments
       ---------------------------

       Any  transactions  and/or  investments  undertaken by Durlacher for or on
       behalf of the Company will be undertaken  subject to the Rules of the FSA
       and the rules and customs of the  exchange or market  and/or any clearing
       house on or through which such  transactions  are undertaken,  settled or
       executed.

       The  Company  will  consult  and notify  Durlacher  (through  Durlacher's
       corporate  finance  department)  before  any  dealings  take place in its
       securities  or those of any  company in relation  to which  Durlacher  is
       advising the Company, by the Company or any of its directors or employees
       (and connected persons within the meaning of paragraph 11 of the appendix
       to Chapter 16 of the Listing  Rules of the London  Stock  Exchange),  and
       such  dealings   should  usually  be  dealt  through   Durlacher   unless
       specifically agreed otherwise.

13.    Termination
       -----------

       Either  Durlacher or the Company may terminate the engagement  covered by
       this  agreement by giving one month's  written notice to the other party.
       The Company shall be liable to pay all fees covered in Schedule 2 of this
       letter  up to and  including  the date on which any  notice to  terminate
       takes  effect (on a pro rata basis if  applicable).  Termination  will be
       effective  upon receipt of such notice.  Termination  will not affect any
       accrued legal rights or  obligations  which may have already  accrued nor
       will it affect  the  provisions  of this  Schedule  3 of this  Engagement
       Letter, paragraph 9 of this letter or the indemnity contained in Schedule
       4 which  will  remain in full  force and  effect.  In the event  that the

ELECTION TO DEFER

 

	2.1  	A Director may elect, on or before December 31 of any Year, to irrevocably defer payment of all or a specified part of all Fees earned during the Year following such election and succeeding Years (until the Director ceases to be a Director or elects (in writing) to change such election); provided, however, that with respect to Year 2004 a Director may elect, before the first day of the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in which this Plan becomes effective, to defer all or a specified part of all Fees earned on or after the date of adoption of this Plan (and which have not been paid to him). Any person who shall become a Director during any Year, and who was not a Director of the Company on the preceding December 31, may elect, before the Director’s term begins, to defer payment of all or a specified part of such Fees earned during the remainder of such Year and for succeeding Years. Any Fees deferred pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be paid to the Director at the time(s) and in the manner specified in Article IV hereof.

 

	2.2  	The election to participate in the deferred compensation portion of the Plan shall be designated by submitting a letter in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the "Election Form") to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company. 

 

	2.3  	The deferral election shall continue from Year to Year unless the Director changes such election by written request delivered to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company at least one (1) month prior to the commencement of the Year for which such changed election shall be effective. If the Director amends his existing election to defer Fees in order to receive Fees in cash or in Shares following each fiscal quarter, such Director may not subsequently re-elect to defer payment of Fees for at least one (1) Year.

 

ARTICLE III  

 

 

DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS

 

	3.1  	The Company shall maintain separate accounts on its books and records for the Fees deferred by each Director, based on the elections each Director has made. 

 

	3.2  	If a Director has elected to defer a portion of his Fees, the Company shall credit, on the tenth day after the Company announces its quarterly results, an account (the "Share Account") established for each Director with the number of hypothetical Shares equal to (x) the deferred Fees otherwise payable to the Director in such fiscal quarter as to which an election to receive share-related deferred compensation has been made, divided by (y) the average Fair Market Value of the Shares over the applicable fiscal quarter. 

	
 4

	 	 	 
	

	 

	3.3  	The Company shall credit, on the date that any dividends are paid with respect to the hypothetical Shares, the Share Account of each Director who has elected to defer Fees with the number of hypothetical Shares equivalent to (x) the product of (a) the amount of any dividend paid, multiplied by (b) the number of hypothetical Shares represented in the relevant Director’s Share Account, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date. 

 

	3.4  	If adjustments are made to the authorized or issued share capital of the Company as a result of split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations and the like, an appropriate adjustment shall also be made in the number of hypothetical Shares credited to the Directors’ Share Account.

 

	3.5  	The value of such Shares shall be computed to two decimal places.

 

	3.6  	This Plan is intended to be a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation arrangement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give a Director, a Director’s beneficiary or any other Person any interest in the assets of the Company or create any kind of fiduciary relationship between the Company and any such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the effective date of the Plan, the Company may establish a "rabbi trust" or any other arrangement it wishes in order to provide for the payment of obligations arising under the Plan, so long as it does not constitute funding for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

 

ARTICLE IV  

 

 

PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION

 

	4.1  	Amounts contained in a Director’s Share Account shall be distributed beginning upon the earliest of the (i) first day of the Year following any removal or separation from the Board; (ii) termination of this Plan; and (iii) date that a Director designates on the Election Form as the date of distribution. The total amounts credited to a Director’s Share Account shall be paid in Shares (equal to the number of hypothetical Shares that have accumulated in the Director’s Share Account pursuant to Article III), unless the Company elects to pay total amounts credited to a Director’s Share Account in cash.

 

	4.2  	Each Director shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who is to succeed to his right to receive payments hereunder in the event of his death. Any designated beneficiary shall receive payments in the same manner as the Director would have received payments if he had lived. In case of a failure of designation or the death of a designated beneficiary without a designated successor, the balance of the amounts contained in the Director’s Share Account shall be payable in accordance with Section 4.1 to the Director’s or former Director’s estate in full on the first day of the Year following the Year in which he dies. No designation of beneficiary or change in beneficiary shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Director and filed with the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
