terms shall apply to an Order, unless agreed upon by both parties in
writing.
2. PRICES
2.1 All prices and license fees listed on Attachment B are for delivery
FOB Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (the "FOB Point") and are net of all

costs and expenses incurred by Concurrent in connection with such
Equipment which are not recovered by Concurrent within such period. In
the event of any such cancellation of an Order prior to the Order

14. LICENSE OF SOFTWARE
14.1 The Software provided hereunder is furnished to Comcast under a
nontransferable, nonexclusive license for use solely on the Equipment
on which first installed for the sole purpose of operating the

14.2 Comcast shall not remove any copyright, trademark, proprietary rights,
legal or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of the
Software.
14.3 Comcast shall not sell, license, sublicense, rent, lease or otherwise
transfer or assign the Software, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of Concurrent, except
that Comcast may transfer the Software to an affiliate of Comcast,
provided that the Equipment on which such Software is used is also
transferred to such affiliate and such affiliate agrees in writing to
be bound by the Software license terms set forth in this Agreement.
14.4 No reproduction rights in or to the Software or related documentation
are granted to Comcast under this Agreement. Comcast agrees that it

such notice to cure such breach. If the breach is not cured within the
applicable cure period and the license is terminated in accordance
with this Section14.5, Comcast shall immediately return the applicable
Software and related documentation and any copies thereof to
Concurrent. Comcast's right to cure any breach in accordance with this
Section 14.5 shall not affect Concurrent's right to obtain injunctive

15.1 Concurrent warrants that the Equipment shall be fully functional and
free from defects in material and workmanship, and shall materially

Period"). The foregoing warranty shall not apply unless the VOD
Products are operated in accordance with Concurrent's manuals
furnished with the VOD Products. Written notice of any claimed defect
must be given within thirty (30) days after such defect is first
discovered. Concurrent's obligation under such warranty is limited, at
its option, to the repair or replacement of the Equipment or
components or parts thereof which do not comply with such warranty.
Such repair or replacement shall be made at Concurrent's designated
plant or repair facility, and shall be at Concurrent's expense;

perform in material conformance with its published specifications for
a period of **** from the Installation Date. In the event of any
failure to so perform, Concurrent shall, at the request of Comcast,
use reasonable commercial efforts to repair or circumvent any defect
affecting such performance; provided that such reparation or
circumvention shall be Comcast's sole remedy for any such failure of
the Software to perform in accordance with the warranty in this
Section15.2. It is understood that Concurrent does not warrant that
the Software will be error-free.
15.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, VOD Products that are
not manufactured or developed by Concurrent, but are supplied or
sublicensed by Concurrent, and which are wholly or partially
integrated into a system are warranted only to the extent, and subject
to the terms, of the original warranty given by the manufacturer of
such VOD Products to Concurrent. Comcast shall give prompt written

for the Equipment purchased in such Order at an additional cost equal
to the product of (x) **** and (y) the purchase price set forth in the
Order for such Equipment.
15.5 The warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not apply to VOD
Products requiring adjustments, correction, repair or replacement, or
increase in service time, caused by:
(a) electrical work external to the VOD Products, or the attachment or
use of accessories or other devices, including networking devices, not
furnished, approved or recommended by Concurrent; or failure to properly
maintain the same;
(b) accident, transportation, neglect or misuse;
(c) alterations, including, but not limited to, any deviation from
circuit or network designs or structural equipment recommended by
Concurrent, installation or removal of Product features not recommended by

Concurrent;
(d) failure to provide and maintain a suitable installation
environment with all facilities specified by Concurrent (including, but not
limited to, failure of, or failure to provide, adequate electrical power,
air-conditioning, humidity control) or from use of supplies or materials
not meeting Concurrent's specifications;
(e) repair or replacement of consumable supplies or parts which have
reached the end of their useful life; or
(f) the use of a Product for other than the purposes for which it is
designed.
15.6 CONCURRENT MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OTHER THAN THOSE SET
FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT
ARE EXPRESSLY MADE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
-6-
15.7 Concurrent shall, at its expense, defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Comcast from and against any claim of infringement of any United
States patents or copyrights by any VOD Products manufactured or
developed by Concurrent, provided that (i) Concurrent is promptly
informed in writing of such claim and furnished a copy of each
communication, notice or other action relating to the alleged
infringement, (ii) Concurrent shall have control over the defense and
negotiations for a settlement or compromise, (iii) Concurrent is given
all reasonable authority, information and assistance from Comcast
necessary to defend or settle such suit or proceeding (at Concurrent's

the prior written consent of Concurrent. The foregoing obligation of
Concurrent does not apply to VOD Products or portions or components
thereof (a) which are modified by persons or entities other than
Concurrent (or persons or entities employed or contracted by
Concurrent) if the alleged infringement relates to such modification
unless such modification was recommended or approved by Concurrent or
(b) combined with other products, processes or materials not supplied
or recommended by Concurrent where the alleged infringement relates to
such combination. If any claim that Concurrent is obligated to defend
has occurred or, in Concurrent's opinion, is likely to occur,
Concurrent may, at its option, either (i) procure for Comcast the
right to continue to use the applicable VOD Product or (ii) replace or
modify the VOD Product so it becomes non-infringing.
16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except for Concurrent's obligations under Section 15.7 above, and except
for personal injury or tangible property damage caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Concurrent in the performance of services hereunder,
Concurrent's liability in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of or in
connection with the performance of any Product, shall not exceed the purchase
price or license fee paid by Comcast with respect to such Product that is the

negligence of Concurrent; and (iii) provide that such policy will not be
cancelled or amended except after thirty (30) days advance written notice
to Comcast, mailed to the address indicated herein.
18. CONFIDENTIALITY
18.1 It is anticipated that each party may be required to exchange certain
confidential information ("Information") to the other in the course of
performing this Agreement. From the date of disclosure, and until ****
years following such date, the recipient of Information ("Recipient")
shall maintain the Information in confidence and use the Information
solely to perform its obligations or enforce its rights under this
Agreement, using at least the same degree of care as it employs to
protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but not
less than a reasonable standard of care, provided that the Information
is identified in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure, or
if orally disclosed, is identified as confidential at the time of
disclosure and confirmed in writing within twenty (20) days after such
oral disclosure. Recipient shall have no obligation hereunder with
respect to any Information that is:
(a) generally known to the public at the time of disclosure, or
becomes known to the public without breach of this Agreement;
(b) known to the Recipient prior to the disclosure, or is
independently developed by the Recipient without reference to or use of any
other portion of the Information;
(c) obtained by the Recipient in good faith from a third party not
under obligation of secrecy to the disclosing party (hereafter referred to
as "Disclosing Party"); or
(d) the subject of a court or government agency order to disclose,
provided that the Recipient gives prompt written notice to the Disclosing
Party to allow the Disclosing Party to contest such order.
The Recipient shall have the burden of proving that any of the above
exceptions apply by means of documentary evidence available at the time
Recipient claims the exception first became applicable.
18.2 Title to all tangible forms of the Information, and all copies
thereof, shall be and remain with Disclosing Party. Recipient shall
not copy or otherwise reproduce, in whole or in part, any Information
without the prior written authorization of Disclosing Party, except as
may be reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement.
Recipient shall not disclose any Information to any third party other
than its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
having a need to know such Information to support performance of this
Agreement, provided that each such party given access to any such
Information is subject to a written confidentiality agreement whose
terms are substantially similar to this Section 18.2. Recipient shall
promptly return or destroy all tangible forms of the Information, and
copies thereof, upon Disclosing Party's request or termination of this
Agreement, and if such Information is destroyed, shall promptly
provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party of
such destruction.
18.3 It is understood, however, that Concurrent has performed substantial
development relating to the design and manufacture of digital video
and other products, and that Concurrent has relationships with other
companies which may be competitors of Comcast. It is further
understood that Comcast has relationships with other companies that
may be competitors of Concurrent. Neither this Agreement, nor receipt
of Information hereunder, shall limit either party's independent
development, manufacture or marketing of products or systems involving
technology or ideas similar to the VOD Products or other products or
systems disclosed in any Information or otherwise, nor will this
Agreement or receipt of Information hereunder prevent either party
from entering into discussions or agreements for the purchase or
licensing of products or systems similar to the VOD Products with
third parties, including competitors of the other party.

by either party hereto, on December 31, 2001.

failure continues for sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of
written notice of such failure;
c) assigns this Agreement, or any obligation or right under this
Agreement, to a third party that is not an Affiliate of such party; or

In the event of a default, the non-defaulting party may terminate the
Agreement and any outstanding Orders by written notice to the
defaulting party.
19.4 Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either
party of any of its then-accrued obligations, including without

THE MEDIAHAWK 2000 VIDEO-ON-DEMAND SYSTEM
The MediaHawk VOD System is an end-to-end solution consisting of:
- THE MEDIAHAWK 2000 VIDEO SERVER
- THE MEDIAHAWK BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
8.5 MEDIAHAWK 2000 VIDEO SERVER
------------------------------
Concurrent's MediaHawk 2000 is a scalable, high performance video server
designed for the unique and demanding requirements of interactive
video-on-demand applications. It is fully integrated with Scientific Atlanta's
and Motorola's digital cable head-end, transport networks, and set top boxes as
well a wide variety of third party VOD hardware and software products. Its
flexible design provides for both centralized and distributed arrangements,
allowing servers to be placed at the most appropriate and cost effective
locations. Each chassis can be configured to support up to 320 interactive
video streams at 3.8 Mbps or as few as 80 streams. When multiple servers are
used the system can be scaled to thousands of streams, supporting hundreds of
thousands of subscribers. Video content for each server is maintained on a high
capacity, fiber channel disk array containing up to 24 disk drives. Each
chassis can store up to 22,200 minutes of content (3.8 Mbps) or 222 full-length
movies that are accessible to all sessions simultaneously. The MediaHawk disk
arrays are arranged in a RAID level 5 configuration (4 groups of 6 drives),
delivering a high degree of fault tolerance. Other fault tolerant features such
as redundant power supplies, intelligent fans, and cross video module polling
make the MediaHawk 2000 an extremely reliable solution. To address space
concerns, MediaHawk's small footprint and slim height allow operators to place a
great deal of power where space is limited. For example, four MediaHawk servers
offering 1280 streams and storing 888 titles at 3.8 Mbps can fit in a single
RETMA rack. Finally, the MediaHawk 2000 Video Server is cost effective,
offering superior price/performance and ensuring an optimal return on
investment.
In Summary, the MediaHawk 2000 Server offers:
- High scalability: Scales from 80 streams to thousands of streams
- Multi-Platform Integration: Supports both the SA and Motorola platform
using the same hardware
- Flexible Implementation: Supports both centralized and distributed
environments
- High Density: A single chassis offers 320 streams and 22,200 minutes of
storage (Encoded at 3.8 Mbps)
- Fault Tolerance: Intelligent monitoring, RAID 5 level support, and no
single points of failure
- Small Footprint: Dimensions (17.7W x 17.5H x 28D)
- Cost Effectiveness: Superior price/performance

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
--------------------------
CONCURRENT'S SA BASED VOD SOLUTION features the PRASARA Business Management
System (BMS), a comprehensive content, subscriber, order, billing, and royalty
payment system designed to satisfy the needs of cable system operators. The
PRASARA BMS contains the following modules:
1. CUSTOMER ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The BMS Customer Access Management System (CAMS) collects and maintains relevant
information about subscribers, including demographics, consumer preferences,
credit card information, and billing data. This enables cable service providers
to track the services and features preferred by customers, maintain
transactional records, and accurately xxxx subscribers.
2. PROVIDER ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The BMS Provider Account Management System (PAMS) collects and maintains
pertinent information about content providers, business affiliates, and their
associated products. PAMS maintains the information necessary to generate
royalty or commission affidavits for the providers and to communicate with
legacy accounting systems to report revenue. PAMS includes a product management
tool that enables easy maintenance (activate/deactivate, change price) of the
provider's products and services.
3. CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Content Management System (CMS) is used to manage the interactive media
assets (video, audio, etc.) that will be offered using the VOD system. The CMS
identifies and tracks media assets through the content staging and loading
procedures and ensures that content usage complies with the contractual rules
defined in the PAMS.
4. ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The BMS Order Management System (OMS) provides the cable service provider with
the ability to process subscribers' orders and ensure the accurate routing of
fulfillment information. For example, when a subscriber orders VOD content the
OMS will receive the order from the set top box, populate the BMS database
tables, generate a corresponding fulfillment record, and update the cable
billing system via the billing interface. The OMS also supports the integration
of ITV and e-commerce applications.
5. PROPAGATION MANAGER
The Propagation Manager is used to distribute content to or remove content from
remote servers from a central operations center. The Propagation Manager works
in cooperation with the Content Management System (CMS) and the Provider Account
Management System (PAMS) to ensure that availability windows are adhered to by
pro-actively prompting the administrator to add or remove content. Content can
be propagated to all servers simultaneously or to specific servers, providing
the cable system operator a high degree of flexibility.
6. HEALTH MONITOR
The Health Monitor alerts administrators in the event of a system failure.
CONCURRENT'S MOTOROLA BASED VOD SOLUTION features the Vivid Business Management
Tool (BMT), a comprehensive content, subscriber, order, billing, and royalty
payment system designed to satisfy the needs of cable system operators. The
Vivid BMT contains the following modules:

The CSR console allows the entry and maintenance of subscriber information,
including demographics, consumer preferences, credit card information, and
billing data. This enables cable service providers to track the services and
features preferred by customers, maintain transactional records, and accurately
xxxx subscribers.
9. SYSTEM MANAGER
The System Manager is used to enter standard and custom genres, movie
packages, leases, and menu system types that are used to specify the
characteristics of media assets when their descriptions are added to the
database.
10. DEVICE MANAGER
The Device Manager is used to enter information about the VOD hardware and
applications at the network center. This information enables the modular system
components to work together. The Device Manager also contains a

(video, audio, etc.) that will be offered using the VOD system. It is also used
to collect and maintain content provider information and to generate royalty or
commission affidavits. Content propagation and removal are also controlled
using the content manager.
12. USAGE TOOLS
The Vivid Business Management Tool contains a variety of usage tools that allow
cable system operators to analyze customer usage patterns and buy rates, as well
as other pertinent marketing information related to VOD services. This
information can be helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of various marketing
schemes and determining the optimal cycle for refreshing media assets.

ON-SITE AND CUSTOM COURSES
The flexibility of on-site classes is provided by the Training Center for those
customers who want to enroll a group of students in the same course. The
customer can realize a substantial savings in travel costs.
Instead of a customer having to pay for multiple students' travel expenses to
Concurrent, they need only cover the instructor's cost of travel and expenses to
their site. Even greater savings are realized for larger classes. Besides the
differences in travel costs, savings are also realized in tuition costs when the
maximum class size is utilized.
In addition to these reductions in cost, there are several intangible benefits
from choosing on-site courses:
Employees will be trained on the Concurrent VOD Products for which they will be
responsible.
Multiple employees will not be absent from the customer's facility
simultaneously.
Optimum scheduling can be achieved based on customer requirements.
On-site instruction includes one set of training materials, which may be
reproduced by the customer for the number of students enrolled in the class.
Should the implementation of a Video-On-Demand system require training which is
not one of the regularly scheduled courses as listed in the published schedule,
a customized course can be prepared and taught at the Training Center or
on-site. This customized course can take the form of modifying the format of an
existing course or developing a completely new course.
