of the Customer's competitive position through the provision of
regular technology working parties which will directly assist in the

working party be established during the 1st calendar quarter 1993 and
thereafter on a calendar quarterly basis. Where such system
developments will be of benefit to the Customer, the Supplier will
offer to the Customer an appropriate credit to upgrade the installed
systems. Such appropriate credits will be determined on a case by case
basis and will take into consideration a mutually agreed percentage of
the audited depreciated book value of the equipment being impacted.

COMPATIBLE WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THE SUPPLIER DOES NOT
REQUIRE THE EXISTING PRODUCT TO BE REPLACED OR UPGRADED.

FEATURE DEVELOPMENT BEING LIMITED ON THAT PRODUCT OR
PREFERRED ON AN ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS,
SUPPLIER SHALL PROMPTLY ADVISE CUSTOMER OF THE OCCURRENCE
OF SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AND ARRANGE TO MEET AND MUTUALLY
AGREE UPON THE METHOD OF PROCEEDING.

Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) capacity for the Cable Television
(CATV) environment as detailed in the Supplier's response to the
RFP section 3.3.2.8 are not achieved, provided that the failure
to achieve such recommended maximum BHCA capacity is not
attributable to the introduction of additional Software features
or to a traffic volume and/or call mix varying from that detailed
in the BHCA capacity predictions.
C10.2 Customer may Order the BRISC 50 processor with the Order for an
initial Switch at the incremental price of (pound)25,000.

CLAUSE C31, is hereby added to detail the Software utilisation discount
available to Supplier, now stated as follows:
C31 ORDER AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION PROCESS FOR A NEW SWITCH
C31.1 Customer may procure a new Switch by issuing an Order. Such Order
shall state the number of lines, Acceptance Date and any other
pertinent information. Supplier's acceptance of such Order shall
be in compliance with Clause 2.4 of this Agreement.
C31.2 Upon receipt of such Order or as previously agreed between the
parties, Supplier and Customer shall establish a date for a
Customer Information (C/I) meeting, which will further define the
site specific requirements for the Switch.
C31.3 Subject to Clause 2.4.4, Customer shall be obligated to procure
Product(s), Software and Services, and Supplier shall be
obligated to provide Product(s), Software and Services, under
this Exhibit C only when an Order has been accepted by Supplier.
C31.4 Upon completion of the C/I, Supplier shall respond to Customer
with a QUOTATION which provides a detailed breakdown of THE
PRICES AND DISCOUNTS FOR Products, Software and Services required
to meet Customer's requirements and Specifications as defined in
the C/I. At such time the Order will be amended and agreed
between the parties in writing to reflect the changes resulting
from the C/I.
Page 9
C31.5 THE C/I WILL IDENTIFY A UTILISATION FACTOR WHICH ARISES AS A
RESULT OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE AND
REPRESENTS THE PORTION OF PLD OR GPP LINES THAT ARE ANTICIPATED
TO BE UTILISED BY CUSTOMER. THIS UTILISATION FACTOR WILL BE USED
TO DETERMINE A UTILISATION DISCOUNT RATE WHICH IS NOT TO EXCEED
15% AND IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
UTILISATION DISCOUNT RATE = 100% - UTILISATION FACTOR.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A SOFTWARE UTILISATION DISCOUNT WILL BE CALCULATED BY APPLYING
THE UTILISATION DISCOUNT RATE TO ALL GPP OR PLD LINES DETAILED
WITHIN THE C/I FOR THAT PARTICULAR ORDER AT THE RATE OF
[Confidential Portion Omitted] PER LINE. THE [Confidential
Portion Omitted] REPRESENTS THE BASE SOFTWARE PORTION OF THE
PRICE PER SWITCH LINE DETAILED IN CLAUSE C4.1. THE SOFTWARE
UTILISATION DISCOUNT AS CALCULATED WILL BE DETAILED WITHIN
SUPPLIER'S QUOTATION DESCRIBED IN CLAUSE C31.4. FOR THE AVOIDANCE
OF DOUBT SUBSCRIBER LINE DRAWER (SLD) LINES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE
SOFTWARE UTILISATION DISCOUNT CALCULATION.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SOFTWARE UTILISATION DISCOUNT = GPP OR PLD LINES * UTILISATION
DISCOUNT RATE *[Confidential Portion Omitted]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE:- THE CI FOR A 50,700 LINE SWITCH (50,400 GPP LINES
AND 300 SLD LINES) IDENTIFIES A UTILISATION FACTOR OF 85%
UTILISATION DISCOUNT RATE OF 15% WILL APPLY (100% - 85%)
SOFTWARE UTILISATION DISCOUNT WILL BE [Confidential Portion
Omitted] CALCULATED AS (50,700-300) * 15% *[Confidential
Portion Omitted]
C31.6 SUPPLIER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CLAW BACK THE SOFTWARE UTILISATION
DISCOUNT IF SUBSEQUENT TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS OR MATURITY OF THE
NETWORK SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE UTILISATION FACTOR.
