for an additional, fixed 60 month period ("First Renewal Term"). The
fees
Page 2
that will apply during the First Renewal Term will be as set forth in
Exhibit 1. Notice of Licensee's election so to extend must be given to
OSI not less than three months before the end of the Initial Term.
(c) Second Option to Renew. Provided Licensee is not then in breach of
----------------------
this Agreement, Licensee will have the option to extend the First
Renewal Term, in one or more fixed increments of 12 months each, for
up to a total of an additional 60-month period following the
expiration of the First Renewal Term ("Second Renewal Term"). The fees
that will apply during the Second Renewal Term will be as set forth in
Exhibit 1. Notice of Licensee's election so to extend must be given to
OSI not less than three months before the end of the First Renewal
Term and/or not less than 60 days before the end of any 12-month
renewal period, as applicable.
(d) Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated (1) by
------------------------
either party on breach by the other party remaining uncured 60 days
after notice specifying the breach with particularity, or (2) by
notice if the other party becomes insolvent, bankrupt or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors.
Page 3
(e) Effect of Non-Renewal. If Licensee elects not to renew this Agreement
---------------------
under Sections 4(b) or 4(c), as applicable, then not less than 60 days
before the expiration of this Agreement, the parties will meet to (1)
determine the scope of Licensee's then-current use of the OSI
Software, and (2) agree pricing that will apply to Licensee's
continued use, if any, of the OSI Software. Absent agreement, pricing
for continued use of the OSI Software, which will be on a month-to-
month basis for not more than 12 months and will be set, at the
prorated portion of the fees that would otherwise have been in effect
during the period of the month-to-month extension had the Agreement
not then expired. Licensee may elect not to receive Services for the
OSI Software during this month-to-month extension period and, if
Licensee so elects, the fees otherwise applicable to that period will
be decreased to reflect the absence of Services.
(f) Termination of Licenses. The licenses granted in Section 5 will
-----------------------
terminate on the earliest of the following to occur: (1) termination
of this Agreement by OSI under Section 4(d), (2) as to any Related
Entity, (a) six months following the date the entity ceases being a
Related Entity if the entity has independently entered into a direct
contract with OSI obligating it to observe all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and limiting its use of the OSI Software
to those uses in effect immediately prior to the date it ceased to be
a Related Entity, or (b) on the date the entity ceases being a Related
Entity if it has not entered into such a direct contractual
relationship with OSI, (3) a violation by Licensee of Sections 5(i) or
5(k), or (4) notice from Licensee. On termination of a license,
Licensee will immediately destroy or return to OSI all copies of the
OSI Software covered by that license that are then in its possession
or under its control. Except as may be negotiated between the parties
pursuant to Section 4(e), Licensee will have no continuing rights to
the OSI Software, whether alone or as part of Combined Software.
(g) Survival. On expiration or termination of this Agreement, the
--------
obligations of Licensee to pay amounts owed to OSI and to discharge
any liability incurred before expiration or termination will survive,
together with the provisions of Sections 2, 4, 5, and 7 - 11.

8. WARRANTIES
----------
(a) Limited Warranty. OSI warrants that:
----------------
(1) Except as set forth in Exhibit 3, each NetExpert Framework
Software will operate substantially as described in its
Documentation for one year after, and all other OSI Software will
operate substantially as described in the Documentation
accompanying the OSI Software, for 90 days after, a physical copy
of the OSI Software is first delivered to Licensee.
(2) All OSI Software will function, in its normal operation, as
follows: (1) values for current dates before, during and after
the Year 2000 will not cause interruptions in normal operation,
except that because of UNIX limitations, current dates greater
than or equal to 2038 cannot be supported on 32 bit machines, or
64 bit machines using 32 bit dates, (2) manipulations of date-
related data will produce desired results before, during and
after the year 2000 and management of stored dates greater than
or equal to 2038 will not cause problems on 32 bit machines, (3)
date elements in interfaces and data storage will permit
specification of century to eliminate date ambiguity, (4) for any
date element represented without century, two digit years greater
than or equal to 69 will convert to 19xx and two digit years less
than 69 will convert to 20xx, and (5) leap years will be properly
processed and recognized. No warranty is provided for any date
related problems caused by Vendor Software, or by any other
software or any hardware connected to OSI Software.
(3) OSI Software does not and will not contain any "Self-Help Code"
or any "Unauthorized Code." As used in this Agreement, "Self-Help
Code" includes any backdoor, time bomb, drop dead device or other
software routine designed to disable a computer program
automatically with the passage of time or under positive control
of a person other than Licensee, but does not include any (a)
authorization keys or other code designed to limit use of the OSI
Software to specific purposes or on specific equipment, or (b)
software routines designed to permit OSI (or any other person
acting on authority of OSI) to obtain access to Licensee's
computer systems (e.g., remote access via modem) for purposes of
authorized maintenance or technical support. "Unauthorized Code"
means any virus, Trojan Horse, worm or other software routines
designed to permit unauthorized access or to disable, erase or
otherwise harm software, hardware or data. The term "Unauthorized
Code" does not include Self-Help Code.
(b) Modifications and Vendor Software. OSI makes no warranty as to any
---------------------------------
portion of OSI Software that is modified, altered or combined with any
other software, such as Rulesets, and as to any of the related
Page 6
Documentation provisions, unless the modifications, alterations or
combinations have been performed by or with the prior, written
approval of OSI.
(c) Pre-Release OSI Software. Licensee may request copies of Pre-Release
------------------------
OSI Software (such as "alpha" or "beta" versions of new or existing
OSI Software) as an accommodation for Licensee's evaluation, comment
and familiarization. Pre-Release OSI Software is provided without
warranty of any nature but the provisions of Section 10 will apply.
Pre-Release OSI Software may contain bugs and inoperable features that
may not be corrected. OSI may change Pre-Release OSI Software
significantly before commercial release, or even not produce a
commercial product based on Pre-Release OSI Software.
(d) Warranty Limitations. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT 3, THIS
--------------------
SECTION STATES THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES FOR OSI SOFTWARE. EXCEPT FOR
THOSE WARRANTIES, OSI SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS-IS." NO OTHER WARRANTY,
ORAL OR WRITTEN, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. OSI does not warrant that
the OSI SOFTWARE will (1) meet Licensee's requirements, (2) perform in
ANY operating environment OTHER THAN THE ONE SET FORTH IN ITS
DOCUMENTATION, OR (3) be uninterrupted or error free in ITS operation.
OSI does not warrant that any defect or malfunction CAN OR WILL BE
corrected. IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED. The limited warranties
in this Section will not apply to, and OSI will have no warranty
obligation with respect to, any defect or malfunction (1) that results
from improper modification or use by Licensee, from hardware,
software, interfacing or supplies other than those provided by OSI in
the form provided by OSI, or from any cause other than ordinary use,
or (2) where the nonconformity cannot be reproduced, where OSI is not
provided with a the parameters, procedures or conditions which
generate the problem in sufficient detail to permit it to isolate the
code which causes the problem, or where OSI is not provided with all
data files, rules, Licensee Software and system access necessary to
reproduce and analyze the problem.
9. LIMITATIONS, REMEDIES
---------------------
(a) Exclusive Remedies. Licensee's sole remedy for a breach of the limited
------------------
warranty in Section 8(a) will be for OSI to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to restore the OSI Software to substantially
conforming condition under the terms of Exhibit 3 or, if OSI is unable
after such efforts to restore the OSI Software, then for Licensee to
obtain a refund equal to the depreciated value of the non conforming
OSI Software (based on a 48 month life beginning on its date of
delivery) on its return to OSI.
(b) Aggregate Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY
-------------------
FOR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE TOTAL AMOUNTS TO BE PAID TO OSI UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT. THIS LIMITATION WILL (1) APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
OF ACTION, WHETHER CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT
LIABILITY, AND (2) NOT APPLY TO INDEMNITY UNDER SECTION 10, TO A
BREACH OF SECTIONS 5,7, 10 OR 11(A), OR TO LIABILITY FOR REAL PROPERTY
DAMAGE, DEATH OR BODILY INJURY CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF OSI OR ITS VENDORS.
(c) Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
-------
ACTION, FOR LOST DATA, REVENUES, PROFITS OR SAVINGS, OR FOR INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES. THIS
LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO A BREACH OF SECTION 11(a).
10. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY
----------------------
(a) Indemnification by OSI.
----------------------
(1) So long as Licensee complies with the terms of Sections 5 and 7
of this Agreement, OSI will defend Licensee against any claims,
and indemnify and hold Licensee harmless against any judgments,
directly
Page 7
or indirectly resulting from a claimed infringement or violation
of any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other
intellectual property right with respect to OSI Software. OSI
will have no liability for any such claims or judgments based
solely on (a) the actions of Licensee, its employees or agents,
(b) use of a version, modification or adaptation of OSI Software,
if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a then-
current unaltered release of OSI Software, (c) use of Combined
Software, if OSI Software operated independent of the Combined
Software is not the cause of the infringement, or (d) use of OSI
Software in combination with any computer software, hardware or
data not delivered in that combination by OSI or expressly
approved, in writing to Licensee, for use in that combination by
OSI.
(2) On receiving notice of a claimed infringement, OSI may (a) settle
on terms that permit continued use of OSI Software, (b)
discontinue distribution of the OSI Software that is the cause of
the claim and provide a reasonable substitute for OSI Software
without any decrease in functionality, (c) modify OSI Software to
be non-infringing, or (d) if the foregoing remedies are not
reasonably available, grant Licensee a credit for the depreciated
value of the relevant portion of OSI Software (based on a 48
month life beginning on the date of its delivery) and accept its
return.
(3) THIS SECTION PROVIDES LICENSEE'S SOLE REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT OF
PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
(b) Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee will defend OSI and its Vendors
---------------------------
against any claims, and indemnify and hold OSI and its Vendors
harmless against any judgments, directly or indirectly resulting from
any claimed infringement or violation of any copyright, patent or
other intellectual property right with respect to the OSI Software to
the extent that Licensee Software or any of the acts described in
Section 10(a)(1)(a) - (d) is the cause of the claimed infringement or
violation.
(c) Cooperation. Notwithstanding the above, an indemnifying party is under
-----------
no obligation to defend or indemnify another party unless: (1) the
indemnifying party has been promptly notified of the claim or suit and
furnished with a copy of each pleading, communication, notice and
other action relating to the claim or suit; (2) the indemnified party
permits the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party's expense,
to assume sole authority to conduct the trial or settlement of the
claim or suit and any negotiations related to it; and (3) the
indemnified party promptly provides all information and assistance
reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in connection with the
claim or suit.
11. GENERAL
-------
(a) Confidential Information. In the course of their dealings, each party
------------------------
will acquire Information about the other, including Information
regarding business activities and operations, technical information
and trade secrets of the party and its partners. Each party will hold
in confidence any Information that it receives from the other party,
not use that Information for purposes other than performance of this
Agreement and not disclose the Information except to those employees
and advisors who (1) have a need to know the same, and (2) are bound
by law or have agreed in writing to maintain the Information in
confidence. Information includes all nonpublic aspects of the OSI
Software, including programs, methods of processing, program design
and structure, the interaction and unique programming techniques
employed, and performance data and test results. The term
"Information" also includes the nonpublic plans of OSI and Vendors for
new products and services, product improvements and marketing
strategies. If a party discovers Information has been improperly used,
disseminated or published, it will immediately notify the other party
and take all reasonable actions to minimize the impact of the
disclosure.
(b) Excluded Information. Even if marked as confidential, the obligations
--------------------
in Section 11(a) will not apply to Information generally available to
or known to the public, known by the receiving party without
obligation of confidentiality before the negotiations leading to this
Agreement, independently developed by the receiving party outside the
scope of this Agreement, lawfully disclosed to the receiving party
without restriction by a third party having the right to make the
disclosure or required to be publicly disclosed to a tribunal. In the
case of required disclosures to tribunals, the receiving party will
promptly notify the other party of the proceeding and fully assist the
disclosing party to obtain protective orders maintaining the
confidentiality of the Information.

----------
of law, by either party, either in whole or in part, without the prior
consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that OSI may assign this Agreement
without such consent in connection with any merger, acquisition or
other combination with or by OSI, or in connection with the sale of
all or substantially all of OSI's assets, whether directly or
indirectly, provided the surviving entity or the acquiror of those
assets, as applicable, agrees in writing to be bound by all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding
on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of
California, excluding its choice of law principles. The United Nations

arbitration (such as the fees and expenses of the arbitrator)
will be borne by the parties in such amounts or proportions as
the arbitrator may determine.
(3) The award of the arbitrator will be (a) in writing (including
reasons), and (b) final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon
the award may be entered and enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction.
(4) In no event will the arbitrator award damages that are not
permitted under the express terms of this Agreement.
(5) Without prejudice to the AAA Rules, either party may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for such interim relief as it
considers appropriate, without the need to post bond or other
security, or if required, then the minimum bond or other security
permitted.
(h) Equitable Relief. Any breach of a party's obligations with respect to
----------------
intellectual property rights will cause irreparable injury for which
there are no adequate remedies at law. The aggrieved party will be
entitled to equitable relief in addition to all other remedies that
may be available, without the posting of bond or other security, or if
required, then the minimum bond or security so required.
(i) Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable or held in default for a
-------------
failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement,
other than to make payment for amounts owing or to comply with
Sections 5 and 7, due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, so
long as the party takes all reasonable steps to avoid and minimize the
impact of such cause. A party suffering an event of force majeure will
notify the other party
Page 9
as promptly as is reasonably possible regarding the nature of the
event and its estimate of when the event will no longer apply.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Enterprise Professional
----------------
Services Agreement of even date between the parties, including their
respective Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior
communications, both oral and written, between the parties. Except as
set forth in Section 11(k), this Agreement may not be modified, and no
rights will be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by a
duly authorized representative of both parties. If the terms of this
Agreement conflict with the terms of any of its Exhibits, the Exhibits
will prevail. As used in this Agreement, the term "including" means by
way of example and not limitation.
(k) Modifications to Exhibits. OSI may change Exhibits 3, 4 and 6 to this
-------------------------
Agreement by notice to Licensee at least 30 days in advance of the
change. Any change to an Exhibit will reflect the same terms as OSI
may from time to time generally make available to its customer base.
(l) Waivers. No waiver by a party of a breach of this Agreement will
-------
constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other
provision of this Agreement.
(m) Execution. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
---------
each of which will be deemed an original and all of which will
constitute together one agreement. A counterpart delivered to a party
by facsimile or similar electronic means will be deemed an original,
equivalent in all respects to a manually executed counterpart.
(n) Intentional Risk Allocation. The provisions of this Agreement reflect
---------------------------
an informed, voluntary allocation between the parties of the risks
(known and unknown) that may exist in connection with this Agreement.
This voluntary allocation was a material part of the bargain between
the parties and the economic and other terms were negotiated and
agreed to by the parties in reliance on that allocation.
(o) Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors.
-----------------------
Under no circumstances will the employees of one party be deemed the
employees of the other for any purpose. This Agreement does not grant
authority for either party to act for the other in an agency or other
capacity, or to make commitments of any kind for the account of or on
the behalf of the other.
(p) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
------------
invalid or unenforceable, it will be deemed to be modified to the
minimum extent necessary to be valid and enforceable. If it cannot be
so modified, it will be deleted and the deletion will not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision unless, as a result,
the rights of either party are materially diminished or the
obligations and burdens of either party are materially increased so as
to be unjust or inequitable.
(q) Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise provided, the rights and
-------------------
remedies in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other
remedies available at law or equity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by
their duly authorized representatives.

Exhibit 3
SERVICES
1. DEFINITIONS
-----------
(a) Defect. An error in OSI Software or a failure of OSI Software to
------
conform substantially with its then-current Documentation that can be
reproduced by OSI. Defects fall into three categories as follows:
(1) Priority 1 (Production System Failure). Licensee's primary
--------------------------------------
production system (a) is completely unavailable, (b) has a
problem that occurs with sufficient frequency that the system is
effectively rendered inoperable, or (c) is affected such that
critical business processes are unavailable. In each case, no
Workaround can be immediately identified. For Priority 1 Defects,
both OSI and Licensee will commit full-time resources to resolve
the situation.
(2) Priority 2 (System Impairment). Licensee's business processes are
------------------------------
impacted or impaired, but Licensee's primary production system
still functions.
(3) Priority 3 (Minor Fault). A Priority 1 or 2 Defect where a
------------------------
Workaround has been identified, the impact on Licensee is minor,
the Defect has no material operational impact on Licensee, or the
Defect does not require immediate attention.
(b) Emergency Release. A new version of OSI Software that incorporates
-----------------
Patches to rectify one or more Priority 1 or Priority 2 Defects. An
Emergency Release may include additional Documentation.
(c) Patch. Replacement of, or provision of an addition to, a portion or
-----
module of OSI Software. A Patch may include additions or replacement
to existing Documentation
(d) Remote Access. Access to Licensee's systems required by OSI to provide
-------------
Services, which may include dedicated connection, dial-up modem,
internet, telnet or other means by which OSI can gain the required
access.
(e) Workaround. A modification to the procedures Licensee follows or the
----------
data it supplies when using OSI Software. A Workaround is designed to
enable OSI Software to operate without materially and adversely
affecting Licensee's ability to use OSI Software in its production
environment.
2. GENERAL
-------
(a) NetExpert Framework Software. Provided Licensee (1) is not in breach
----------------------------
of this Agreement, and (2) has provided OSI with timely Remote Access
to the affected system, OSI will provide to Licensee the Services
specified below. Services will be provided only for the current
generally available release and for the immediately preceding release,
with all OSI recommended NetExpert(R), operating system, database and
other patches applied. Other than the current generally available
release and the immediately preceding release, OSI will provide
Services for superseded releases on a time and materials basis.
(b) Application Components and Rulesets. Because Application Components
-----------------------------------
and Rulesets may vary between end-users even for the same network
element, management operation or other operation, and because
Application Components and Rulesets may be modified by others after
delivery by OSI, unless otherwise agreed to by OSI in writing,
Services for Application Components and Rulesets are provided only on
a time and materials basis. The following Sections describe the
limited Services available for Application Components and Rulesets
when such Services are made available by OSI.
Page 15
3. UPDATE AND ENHANCEMENT SERVICES
-------------------------------
(a) NetExpert Framework Product Updates. When available, OSI will provide
-----------------------------------
Licensee at no additional cost with new and interim versions of
NetExpert Framework Software, including any enhancements or extensions
thereto, at the time each version is generally made available to its
other customers. OSI will make such revisions, enhancements or
extensions to NetExpert Framework Software as it deems necessary and
appropriate.
(b) Application Components and Rulesets. Generally, Application Components
-----------------------------------
and Rulesets are only updated on a time and materials basis.
Occasionally OSI may update an Application Component or Ruleset for a
new release of network element software, but unless OSI has agreed
otherwise with Licensee, that updated Application Component or Ruleset
will be made available for license by payment of a separate license
fee, and integration and customization of that Application Component
or Ruleset into Licensee's system will be required either by OSI, by
Licensee or by a party contracted by Licensee.
4. EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICES
--------------------------
(a) Extended Warranty. As part of the Services for OSI Software, the
-----------------
limited warranties provided in Section 8(a) of the Agreement will,
subject to the terms of the Agreement, be extended for the OSI
Software as set forth in this Section 4.
(b) NetExpert Framework Products. If Licensee believes that there is a
----------------------------
Defect in NetExpert Framework Software, Licensee will (1) promptly
notify OSI, describing the parameters, procedures and conditions that
result from the Defect in sufficient detail to permit OSI to isolate
the code that caused the Defect, and (2) provide OSI with all data
files, database rules, Licensee Software and Remote Access (and where
required by OSI, onsite access) required to reproduce and analyze the
Defect. If OSI is unable to reproduce the Defect, it will have no
responsibility to take further action.
(c) Application Components and Rulesets. If Services are available for
-----------------------------------
Application Components or Rulesets, the OSI Extended Warranty only
covers Application Components and Rulesets in the form provided by
OSI. On receipt by OSI of the notice described in Section 4(b), OSI
will analyze the Application Component or Ruleset to determine if the
Defect is reproducible. OSI will have no obligation for Defects not in
the original Application Component or Ruleset as provided by OSI.
(d) Response Times. On notice of a Defect, during normal business hours
--------------
(unless Extended Services are purchased) OSI will initiate work to
verify the Defect, advise Licensee of its plans for resolving the
Defect, and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Defect,
as follows:
(1) Priority 1. OSI will promptly initiate work to verify a Priority
----------
1 Defect within two hours of being notified and will try to
resolve the Defect within 5 business days.
(2) Priority 2. OSI will initiate work to verify a Priority 2 Defect
----------
no later than the next business day and will try to resolve the
Defect within 10 business days.
(3) Priority 3. OSI will initiate work to verify a Priority 3 Defect
----------
within 30 business days and will try to include a Patch for the
Defect in the next update or version of OSI Software provided
Licensee.
OSI will also promptly notify Licensee if a Defect cannot be resolved
within the above time periods and will cooperate in good faith with
Licensee to arrive at an alternative period for resolution
(e) Response. OSI will work diligently to resolve Priority 1 and
--------
Priority 2 Defects with a Workaround, Patch or Emergency Release.
Whenever practical, OSI will verbally advise Licensee of a
Workaround, followed by a confirmation posted on WebTAC or
otherwise provided in writing to Licensee. If a Workaround does
not resolve the Defect, OSI will use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide a Patch or Emergency Release. If a Workaround
is provided and resolves the Defect, it will be downgraded to
Priority 3.
5. HOTLINE SERVICES
---------------
Telephone Hotline Support will be available from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday (excluding OSI holidays) for
Extended Warranty Services and General Support Services.
6. WEBTAC
------
Page 16
Subject to system availability, which OSI will make commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain, Licensee will have 24 hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week access
to OSI's Technical Assistance Center on the World Wide Web, URL
▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/. Use of OSI's WebTAC is subject to the terms and
procedures posted on that site.
7. GENERAL MATTERS
---------------
(a) Contacts and Internal Support.
-----------------------------
(1) Adelphia will designate one employee who will be the primary
contact person and one employee who will be the backup contact
person (either of whom is the "Contact Person") for all matters
related to Services. The Contact Person will have successfully
completed all relevant OSI training. Only the Contact Person will
use Extended or Hotline Services or OSI's WebTAC.
(2) All requests for Services or other assistance will be made
through Adelphia's Contact Person. Licensee will take and
document the following actions (to the extent appropriate) both
before and after reporting a Defect to OSI, and will commit
appropriate resources to working on the Defect until its source
has been agreed:
(A) maintaining an up-to-date record of system changes, such as
upgrades, patches and modifications to operating systems,
databases, device software and Products;
(B) gathering all relevant information from the user reporting
the Defect;
(C) identifying the nature of the Defect;
(D) reproducing the error and documenting the steps required for
that reproduction;
(E) eliminating physical causes, such as connections, device
malfunctions and memory or CPU problems;
(F) examining logs, records, archives, core files and other user
documentation;
(G) reaching, where possible, a tentative conclusion regarding
causation;
(H) providing OSI with proper Remote Access and any required
assistance; and
(I) to the extent appropriate, interfacing with distributors of
interfacing systems such as the operating system, database
programs and other hardware and software, and working with
those distributors to eliminate or identify errors in their
systems.
(b) Cancellation. Services for OSI Software will be canceled if and when
------------
the license for the OSI Software is terminated. In such event, OSI
will refund to Licensee a prorata portion of previously paid Services
fees. Cancellation of Services will not, of itself, constitute
termination of the Agreement.
(c) Modifications and Unauthorized Uses. OSI will have no obligation to
-----------------------------------
support OSI Software if it (1) has been modified by Licensee, or (2)
is being used in violation of the terms of the Agreement. If a
reported Defect is not a Defect in OSI Software but is actually a
problem caused by user error, modification of the OSI Software by a
party other than OSI, or third party hardware or software, OSI may
invoice Licensee on a time and materials basis for efforts provided by
OSI personnel above 8 hours for each such Defect.
(d) Limitations. UNDER THE OSI EXTENDED WARRANTY, OSI WILL USE ITS
-----------
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO REPAIR DEFECTS, BUT OSI DOES NOT
GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR ALL DEFECTS, OR THAT ANY
REPAIR WILL BE SATISFACTORY TO LICENSEE.
Page 17
Exhibit 4
---------
TRAINING
--------
Licensee may use OSI Training credits to:
(1) Attend pre-scheduled OSI training classes in Folsom, California.
Student registration is required in advance of any class and is
subject to class availability. The training classes and the training
units are set out in OSI Training Course Catalogue.
(2) Reserve a full class at OSI training at OSI's facilities in Folsom,
California and select the class modules to be taught. Each class may
contain up to 12 students. One class day for 12 students equates to 48
training units.
(3) Schedule a class to be taught at Adelphia facilities. Classes must be
arranged with OSI 2 months in advance. One class day for 12 students
equates to 48 training units.
For any training at Adelphia's facilities, the following will apply:
Prerequisite Information.
------------------------
OSI will require the following information about the classroom systems 3-4 weeks
prior to arrival.
. Host names and host IDs of all of the workstations and servers on the
classroom network.
. Classroom network configuration for the technical training classroom.
. The classroom power requirements and/or irregularities. Is the voltage
220v, 110v, etc. Should OSI expect brownouts, surges, or frequent
outages?
. Name, address, phone and fax numbers, email or Internet address of a
contact at Adelphia's site that will facilitate training setup.
. Full address and phone number of where training will be held. Also
provide a local map if available.
. Full address and phone number of where training materials should be
shipped.
Local Support.
-------------
Since the OSI instructor will not have local knowledge of the UNIX environment,
a UNIX system administrator and DAB for support will need to be provided. They
must have administrative authority over the hardware and software in the
training room. They also must be available for system support throughout the
duration of the training.
The OSI instructor will also need a local point of contact. This person will
provide the instructor access to the building where the classes are to be
conducted and local information as needed.
Completed Before Arrival.
------------------------
The classroom facilities must be completely setup before the instructor arrives
at the site. This includes setting up:
. Student seating, classroom furniture, and amenities.
. The classroom network. All workstations must be able to operate on the
same network, and mount ifs filesystems exported by the server.
If this work is not completed prior to the instructor's arrival, it could delay
the start of training.
Page 18
System Configuration.
--------------------
The following requirements state the minimum requirements for an OSI technical
training class. The classroom systems need not be the exact models specified.
However, they should be systems equivalent to those specified.
Server
------
The classroom will require one system that will function as the classroom's
file and database server.
-------------------------------------------------
Sparc Ultra 1170
Model
-------------------------------------------------
256mb
Real Memory
-------------------------------------------------
Disk Drive(s) 4 gigabytes
-------------------------------------------------
Clients
-------
The classroom will require one client workstation for every two students.
Each client workstation will access filesystems on the server via nfs. Each
student workstation will need one partition that is at least one gigabyte
in size. Students to install NetExpert during the System Administration
class will use this partition. OSI typically uses the /opt filesystem for
this purpose
-------------------------------------------------
Sparc Ultra 170
Model
-------------------------------------------------
128mb
Real Memory
-------------------------------------------------
2 gigabytes
Disk Drive One partition must be at
least 1 gigabyte in size
-------------------------------------------------
Ethernet Hub
------------
The hub needs enough ports to support all of the machines in the room, as
well as the instructor's laptop PC.
Classroom Installation.
----------------------
The OSI instructor will bring a Sun 9.2 Sparc Unipack external disk drive. This
disk drive contains all of the necessary data to conduct the Basic Rules
Development, Basic VisualAgent, and Basic Operator classes. This data includes
the NetExpert and Informix installations, UNIX user accounts, and license files
necessary to conduct the class.
Classroom setup normally requires two days for installation and testing. The OSI
instructor, with the assistance of the local system administrator, will:
. Attach and install the hard drive to the classroom fileserver via a SCSI
connection.
. Mount the filesystems on the external hard drive locally on the
fileserver.
. Install the user accounts on the fileserver.
. Export the external hard drive's filesystems via nfs.
Page 19
. Mount the external hard drive's filesystems on the clients.
. Install the external hard drive's filesystems on the clients.
The instructor will install the user accounts on the workstations by backing up
the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files on each workstation and then
overwriting them with the passwd, group, and shadow found on the external hard
drive. During breakdown at the end of the training session, the instructor will
restore the original passwd, group, and shadow files to their original
locations.

fees prior to the last day of the term ("Expiration Date"). In the event

Licensee. Licensee has the right to pay renewal fees and other related
fees. In the event Licensee pays the renewal fees and Licensor is of the

DSI by an officer of Licensor stating that a release condition has not

--------
Licensee in writing. Such dispute will be settled by arbitration in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").
Licensor and Licensee will each select one arbitrator and a third
arbitrator will be selected unanimously by said arbitrators. If said
arbitrators are unable to select the third arbitrator within ten (10) days,
the parties consent to the selection of the third arbitrator by the AAA
Administrator. Unless otherwise agreed to by Licensor and Licensee,
arbitration will take place at San Francisco, California.
16. Indemnification. Licensor and Licensee agree to defend and indemnify DSI
---------------
and hold DSI harmless from and against all claims, actions and suits,
whether in contract or in tort, and from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, penalties, counsel fees, and
other expenses of any nature (including, without limitation, settlement
costs) incurred by DSI as a result of performance of the Agreement except
in the event of a judgment which specified that DSI acted with gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

materials prepared pursuant to the Agreement. Licensor and Licensee will be

one individual to receive notices from DSI and to act on behalf of Licensor
and Licensee respectively in relation to the performance of their
obligations as set forth in the Agreement and to notify DSI immediately in
the event of any change from one designated representative to another in
the manner stipulated in Exhibit A.

-------
or signature believed to be genuine and may assume that any person giving
any written notice, request, advice or instruction in connection with or
relating to the Agreement has been duly authorized to do so. DSI is not
responsible for failure to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement due
to causes beyond DSI's control.
The Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.
Page 24
The Agreement, including any Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all previous communications, representations, understandings, and
agreements, either oral or written, between the parties.
If any provision of the Agreement is held by any court to be invalid or
unenforceable, that provision will be severed from the Agreement and any
remaining provisions will continue in full force.
20. Fees. All service fees will be due in full at the time of the request for
----
service. Annual renewal fees will be due in full upon the receipt of
invoice unless otherwise specified by the invoice. If invoiced fees are not

percent per month (18% per annum) from the date of the invoice for all late
payments.

fees, DSI shall notify Licensor and Licensee at least ninety (90) days
prior to the renewal of the Agreement. For any service not listed on the
Fee and Service Schedule, DSI shall provide a quote prior to rendering such

OBLIGATIONS OF DATA SECURITIES INTERNATIONAL
If the fees are current, Data Securities International, Inc. (DSI) is obligated
to hold these Deposit Materials and treat them as called for in the specific
Escrow Agreement between the parties. The specific Escrow Agreement between the
parties obligates DSI not to disclose, divulge nor otherwise make available to
any third party the deposited materials except pursuant to an agreement between
Licensor and DSI. DSI shall have no obligation to any licensee or other third
party except Registered and/or Subscribed Licensees accepted by DSI, to the
extent provided in a writing signed by DSI. DSI shall have the right to modify
or cancel this Agreement without the consent of any third party unless expressly
prohibited from doing so by an agreement signed by DSI.
Upon the receipt of an Exhibit B, DSI will visually match the listed items on
the Exhibit B to the labeling of the material ("Deposit Inspection"). DSI will
not be responsible for the contents or for validating the accuracy of Licensor's
labeling. Acceptance will occur when DSI signs the Exhibit B document concluding
that the Deposit Inspection is complete.
DEFINITIONS

Replacement Materials.
Supplemental Materials are materials that are to be added to the existing
Deposit by Licensor. The Supplemental Materials will be incorporated into the
existing Deposit and treated as the whole.
Replacement Materials are materials which replace the entire Existing Deposit.
Licensor may request to replace the entire Existing Deposit. The Existing
Deposit that has been contractually allowed to be replaced will be dealt with as
specified in the specific Escrow Agreement between the parties, or its Exhibits
and Addenda.
DSI reserves the right to destroy the Existing Deposit for which return of
deposit fees have not been paid. DSI will notify Licensor of such action.

Exhibit 6
---------
OSI CUSTOMER ADVISORY BOARD
The purpose of OSI's Customer Advisory Board ("CAB") is to involve a select
group of users in the definition and execution of OSI's short and long term
product strategies.
The CAB will assist OSI in:
. planning product direction.
. defining specific product requirements.
. validating that specifications and prototypes effectively address the
requirements.
. testing pre-release products, including beta testing and, where
appropriate, testing in a production environment prior to general
availability.
In this cooperative arrangement, Adelphia will have the opportunity to work
closely with OSI's internal product teams. These teams are comprised of
individuals from product management, development, technical publications, QA,
customer support, professional services, sales and marketing. Interaction will
be via meetings, conference calls and written documentation.
Adelphia will kick off the program with a meeting in Folsom to discuss product
direction and requirements, and to meet the OSI product teams. As design and
development continues, OSI will follow up with correspondence and meetings to
validate progress. As beta test periods approach, Adelphia will prepare in
advance by attending training classes at OSI and configuring its test
environment. OSI will monitor beta installations and Adelphia will be requested
to report on product performance. For some products or features, we may mutually
agree to follow the beta test with a limited test in a production environment.
Because some members of the CAB may compete with each other, to facilitate free
discussion of strategic direction, most meetings used to solicit input and
feedback will be conducted with individual CAB members. Training classes and
general information meetings may be conducted for the group as a whole.
Adelphia Benefits.
-----------------
Adelphia will have input on the strategic direction of OSI product development,
regular interaction with OSI's product development and support personnel, the
opportunity to evaluate OSI pre-release products, and the ability to have its
technical personnel gain a detailed understanding of the capabilities of
NetExpert(TM) software and OSI's future development plans.
Adelphia Obligations.
--------------------
Adelphia agrees to the following:
. It will designate one key technical employee as its CAB representative.
That employee or one or more designees with appropriate experience in
network management issues will participate in each phase of the
program, reviewing materials, attending meetings and providing OSI with
feedback on the issues raised;
. As new pre-release products are provided to Adelphia, it will create an
appropriate test environment with OSI assistance, and provide feedback
to OSI on the performance of the pre-release products and suggestions
for its improvement;
. Adelphia will be responsible for all of your costs incurred in
connection with its CAB participation.
Page 29
OSI's Commitment.
----------------
. OSI will conduct regular meetings of the CAB and will provide CAB
members with its plans for product development and improvement;
. OSI will provide pre-release products relevant to Adelphia's operations
as soon as they are available;
. OSI will assist you Adelphia setting up an appropriate test environment
for pre-release products;
. OSI will provide the highest consideration of all suggestions and
comments.
Protection of Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Rights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
. During Adelphia's participation in the CAB, it will be provided with
some of OSI's most sensitive confidential information, including
product development plans, specifications, pre-release products, flow
charts, and other nonpublic information relating to OSI's products,
code, marketing and finances. Adelphia may also provide OSI with its
confidential information, although comments, suggestions, improvements
and other communications from Adelphia to OSI regarding OSI products
become the sole property of OSI. OSI may use them without compensation
or attribution, and Adelphia will take all reasonable steps requested
by OSI to confirm OSI's sole ownership of all rights arising from them.
Each party will hold in confidence all confidential information of the
other and the other's licensors, not use that information for purposes
other than the evaluation, design, improvement, marketing and
development of OSI products and not disclose that information except to
those employees and advisors who (1) have a need to know it to assist
in the party's efforts under this arrangement, and (2) are bound by law
or have agreed in writing to maintain the information in confidence. If
either party discovers that confidential information of the other has
been improperly used, disseminated or published, it will immediately
notify the other party and take all reasonable actions to minimize the
impact of the disclosure.
. Adelphia will be provided from time to time with OSI products
(including software, manuals and other documentation) such as beta and
other pre-release versions of existing or new products, patches and
upgrades. OSI grants Adelphia a nonexclusive, nontransferable license
to (a) use those products in executable code form only, on computers
owned or leased by it and located in its facilities at the address
noted above or another location approved by OSI in writing to assist
OSI in testing and debugging those OSI products and to use those OSI
products for its internal business purposes in connection with that
assistance, and (b) make backup copies of those OSI products only as it
reasonably requires for that purpose. No other rights are granted to
Adelphia by this agreement. Without limitation, Adelphia will not use
those OSI products to monitor or control any third party's network,
produce revenue for you, demonstrate or provide those OSI products to
any other party, or develop products owned by any party other than OSI.
On request from OSI, or on termination of Adelphia's participation in
the CAB, Adelphia will immediately cease use of those OSI products,
return those OSI products to OSI, remove all copies, whole or partial,
from any media and provide OSI with a written statement from an officer
stating that all of those copies have been either destroyed or
returned.
. All right, title and interest to copyrights, trade secrets, patents and
other intellectual property rights in OSI products will remain the
exclusive property of OSI and its licensors. Adelphia may input data as
required to use OSI products for the purposes requested by OSI under
the CAB, but it will not make, alter, adapt, modify or make derivative
works of OSI products or merge OSI products into other programs or
materials. Adelphia will not make copies of OSI products except as
permitted in this agreement. Adelphia will not decompile, disassemble
or otherwise reverse engineer any executable code, object code or
source code of OSI products, or decode, de-encrypt, reverse engineer or
otherwise attempt to avoid any authorization keys and other
Page 30
security devices in OSI products. Adelphia will be solely responsible
for obtaining any hardware and licenses for other products required for
you to use OSI products.
. Any OSI products or services provided in connection with the CAB are
provided "as is," and OSI will have no responsibility for correcting
any errors, modifying OSI products in any way or for providing a
commercially available product based upon OSI products or for support
or updates to OSI products and services. OSI MAKES NO WARRANTIES,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO OSI PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, INCLUDING
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Adelphia acknowledges that OSI products in beta-
test or pre-release form may contain "bugs," inoperable features and
other defects which may not be corrected by OSI, and that the purpose
of its use of OSI products is to help OSI develop OSI products.
Adelphia assumes all risks arising from its possession and use of OSI
products.
. EXCEPT IF ONE OF THE PARTIES VIOLATES THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
OF THE OTHER PARTY, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE
FORM OF ACTION, FOR LOST REVENUES, PROFITS OR SAVINGS, OR FOR INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF IT HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES.
Legal Terms and Conditions.
--------------------------
. Compliance with Laws. OSI products and all related rights, technical
--------------------
data and information are subject to controls imposed by the U.S.
Government and other countries. Adelphia will comply with all of those
controls and all other applicable laws, regulations, codes and
ordinances.
. No Assignment. Adelphia's membership in the CAB and any of its rights
-------------
and obligations under this agreement will not be assigned or delegated
without OSI's written approval.
. Disputes. Despite our best intentions, disputes may arise under or in
--------
connection with this agreement. We will make very effort to resolve any
dispute informally to both parties' satisfaction, but if we cannot
resolve a dispute informally, it will be resolved exclusively in the
federal or state courts located in Sacramento, California, without a
jury. Both parties waive any right to a jury trial and consent to the
personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of those courts for that
purpose. This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of
law provisions, and will be deemed to have been entered into and wholly
performed in Sacramento County, California.
. Equitable Relief. Any breach of either party's obligations with respect
----------------
to the intellectual property rights of the other will cause irreparable
injury for which there are no adequate remedies at law. Each party and
its licensors will be entitled to equitable relief in addition to all
other remedies that may be available, without the posting of bond or
other security or, if required, then the minimum bond or security so
required.
. Entire Agreement. This agreement is the entire agreement between the
----------------
parties with respect to the CAB and supersedes all previous
communications, both oral and written, between the parties. No waiver,
amendment or modification of this agreement will be effective unless in
writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party against
whom enforcement is sought. No waiver by a party of a breach of this
agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of that or any
other provision of this agreement.
. Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors and
-----------------------
not partners or joint venturers. Under no circumstances will the
employees of one party be deemed the employees of the other for any
purpose. This agreement does not grant authority for either party to
act for the other in an agency or other capacity, or to make
commitments of any kind for the account of or on the behalf of the
other.
Page 31
. Term. The terms of this letter will apply so long as Adelphia
----
participates in the CAB. Adelphia's participation in the CAB may be
terminated, at its option, with 30 days' notice, but the Protection of
Confidential Information provisions, the Intellectual Property Rights
provisions and the Legal Terms and Conditions provisions set forth
above will survive that termination.
