The Manager Company Announcement Office ASX Ltd Level 4, 20 Bridge Street Sydney, NSW 2000

Dear Sir/Madam

$1,200,000 CONVERTIBLE NOTE FACILITY

TZ Limited (the " Company ") refers to its announcement dated 18 March 2010 (the “March Announcement” ) with respect to the binding Memorandum of Understanding (the " MOU ") between the Company and QVT Fund LP ( “QVT” ) and Quintessence Fund L.P. ( “Quintessence” ) (together, the “QVT Funds” ).

The Company confirms that the $1,200,000 loan facility being provided by the QVT Funds has been completed today, which has allowed the Company to borrow a further $1,200,000. The conditions set out in item 3 of the March Announcement have been satisfied and the Company has today issued 1,714 senior unsecured convertible notes with a total face value of $1,714,000 ($1,000 per convertible note) ( “Series III Convertible Notes” ) as follows:

  1. 1,547 Series III Convertible Notes issued to QVT; and

  2. 167 Series III Convertible Notes issued to Quintessence.

The Series III Convertible Notes have the key terms as set out in item 1(c) of the March Announcement. An Appendix 3B is attached in respect of the 1,714 Series III Convertible Notes.

Series III Convertible Notes

The QVT Funds are to lend $1,200,000 to the Company in payment of the subscription price for 1,200 of the above Series III Convertible Notes.

As set out at item 1(a)(ii) of the March Announcement, under the terms of the MOU the Company was required to issue additional Series III Convertible Notes (in addition to the 1,200 Series III Convertible Notes) with a face value equal to the aggregate of:

  • (i) the QVT Fund’s costs and expenses paid or payable in connection with the issue of the Series III Convertible Notes to the QVT Funds;

  • (ii) the QVT Fund’s costs and expenses relating to the Company’s annual general meeting held on 26 February 2010 (the “2009 AGM” ); and

  • (iii) costs and expenses incurred by the QVT Funds in connection with the Company’s default under the Convertible Note and Option Subscription Deed (the “Series I Note Deed” ) dated 24 December 2007 between the Company and the QVT Funds for failing to pay the interest due on 31 December 2008,

to the extent those costs and expenses are not satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares in the Company to the QVT Funds as approved under resolution 9(e) passed at the 2009 AGM.

During the negotiation of the formal document concerning the matters set out in the MOU which was completed today, the QVT Funds agreed:

  • (i) to release the Company from any claims that the QVT Funds may have against the Company for the payment of interest on payments previously made by the QVT Funds on the Company’s behalf during the period from 1 June 2009 to 22 April 2010; and

  • (ii) to release the Company from any interest liability for the 2010 calendar year on the 12,000 Series I Convertible Notes that were converted into 12,000,000 ordinary class shares on 26 March 2010.

Because of the additional costs incurred by the QVT Funds in finalising the formal document required under the MOU and in finalising the amendments needed to be made to the Series I Note Deed to enable Series III Convertible Notes to be issued, the number of additional Series III Convertible Notes required to be issued to the QVT Funds increased to 514 (which is 114 more than the number of additional Series III Convertible Notes referred to in item 1(a)(ii) of the March Announcement).

Accordingly the Company has issued a total of 1,714 Series III Convertible Notes to the QVT Funds today, namely 1,200 Series III Convertible Notes in exchange for the loan of $1,200,000 from the QVT Funds and 514 Series III Convertible Notes in reimbursement of $514,000 of costs and expenses owing by the Company to the QVT Funds.

Shareholder approvals

The Company will seek shareholder approval at its next annual general meeting to allow the QVT Funds to convert the 1,714 Series III Convertible Notes into ordinary class shares in the Company and to give effect to the proposed restructure of the terms of the 3,000,000 options issued to the QVT Funds under the Series I Note Deed as set out in item 2 of the March Announcement.

Release of shares from escrow

As announced at item 4 of the March Announcement, the Company has agreed to release from escrow 1,200,000 ordinary shares held by the QVT Funds that were to be the subject of a voluntary escrow arrangement agreed by the QVT Funds and the Company and announced to the ASX on 28 January 2010. The Company hereby gives notice in accordance with Listing Rule 3.10A that 1,200,000 of the 12,000,000 ordinary shares issued to the QVT Funds on 26 March 2010 will be released from escrow on 10 May 2010.

Yours faithfully,
