The prices at which the selling stockholders may sell the shares will be

negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares to or
with the assistance of broker-dealers, who may receive compensation in excess of
their customary commissions.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of computer systems for both the emerging
video-on-demand market through our Xstreme division and real-time applications
through our Real-Time division. We provide computer hardware (our video servers)
and related software, referred to as our video-on-demand systems, primarily to
residential cable television operators. We also provide high-performance
computer systems, referred to as our real-time systems, for simulations, data
acquisition and industrial process applications. We market our real-time systems
to government agencies, government suppliers and commercial markets where the
immediate capture and delivery of information is critical. We expect that
substantially all of our future revenue growth will come from our Xstreme
division, which began commercial sales in 1999.
Our video-on-demand systems consist of digital video servers and related
software that enable cable operators to deliver video-on-demand to their
subscribers. In order to provide video-on-demand, the cable operator's system
must be upgraded to carry digital, rather than analog, signals, and the cable
subscriber must have a digital set-top box. We expect that all seven of the
largest U.S. cable system operators will begin deploying video-on-demand
services in one or more residential markets by mid-2002. We believe we are
well-positioned to be a provider of choice to these cable operators.
Initially, we focused our video-on-demand business on the development of
systems compatible with Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. digital cable equipment. In
October 1999, we acquired Vivid Technology, Inc. and obtained technology
compatible with Motorola digital cable equipment. We recently introduced our
MediaHawk Model 2000 video-on-demand system, which is compatible with both
Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola equipment. As a result, we believe we are one of
the few video-on-demand system providers currently providing technology
compatible with both Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola digital cable equipment,
the two largest providers of digital headend (cable) equipment and digital
set-top boxes used in the United States.
A real-time system is specially designed to acquire, process, store, and
display large amounts of rapidly changing information in real-time that is, with
microsecond response as changes occur. We have over 30 years of experience in
real-time systems, including specific expertise in systems, applications
software, productivity tools, and networking. Our systems provide real-time
applications for gaming, simulation, engine test, air traffic control, weather
analysis, and mission critical data services such as financial market
information. We plan to develop a new real time operating system on the Linux
platform to provide our real time customers an alternative to our original,
proprietary platform.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981 under the name Massachusetts
Computer Company.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the
selling stockholders. All the proceeds will be received by the selling
stockholders. We will receive proceeds if and when the warrants are exercised by
the selling stockholders, and those warrant proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering all 2,054,431 shares covered by this prospectus on
behalf of the selling stockholders. We have registered the shares to permit the
selling stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest that receive their shares from the selling stockholders
as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the
date of this prospectus to resell the shares when they deem appropriate.
We issued Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares
of our common stock directly from us. The warrant was originally issued on
August 17, 1998, in connection with an agreement with Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
to jointly develop and market a video-on-demand system. Under the agreement, we
were able to receive early development releases from Scientific-Atlanta. In
addition, we have jointly developed a system architecture that is compliant with
AOL Time Warner video-on-demand architecture requirements. Further,
Scientific-Atlanta may in certain circumstances have the right to receive
additional warrants to purchase up to a maximum of 8,000,000 additional shares
of our common stock under the agreement. The granting of these additional
warrants will be based upon performance goals measured by the revenue we receive
from sales of equipment to systems employing Scientific-Atlanta's equipment. To
date, no additional warrants have been granted. In January 2001,
Scientific-Atlanta transferred the warrant to purchase the 2,000,000 shares
covered by this prospectus to an affiliate, Scientific-Atlanta Strategic
Investments, L.L.C. The warrant is currently exercisable at a price of $5.00 per
share and must be exercised on or before August 17, 2002.
We issued Comcast Concurrent Holdings, Inc. warrants to purchase 54,431
shares of our common stock directly from us. A warrant to purchase 50,000 shares
was issued on March 29, 2001, in connection with a multi-year strategic purchase
agreement with Comcast. A warrant to purchase 4,431 shares was issued to Comcast
Concurrent Holdings on October 9, 2001, because performance goals under the
agreement were met. We are generally obligated to issue new warrants to purchase
shares of our common stock to Comcast Concurrent Holdings at the end of each
quarter through March 31, 2004, based upon performance goals measured by the
number of subscribers to Comcast's cable service with the ability to utilize our
video-on-demand systems. We will also issue additional warrants to purchase
shares of our common stock, if at the end of any quarter the total number of
Comcast cable subscribers with the ability to utilize our video-on-demand system
exceeds specified threshold levels. The warrant to purchase 50,000 shares is
currently exercisable at a price of $5.196 per share and must be exercised by
March 29, 2005. The warrant to purchase 4,431 shares is currently exercisable at
a price of $6.251 per share and must be exercised by October 9, 2005.
The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholders, the
number of shares of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders as of
October 19, 2001, the number of shares that may be offered under this
prospectus, and the number of shares of our common stock owned by the selling
stockholders after this offering is completed. We have prepared this table based
on information provided to us by the selling stockholders. Other than as
described above, neither of the selling stockholders has had a material
relationship with us within the past three years. The number of shares in the
column "Number of Shares Being Offered" represent all of the shares that the
selling stockholders may offer under this prospectus. We do not know how long
the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we
currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling
stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares. The shares offered by this
prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Our common stock may be offered for sale and sold in one or more
transactions, including block transactions, at a fixed price or prices, which
may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices or at prices determined on a negotiated
or competitive bid basis. Shares of common stock may be sold directly, through
agents designated from time to time, or by such other means as may be specified
in any supplement to this prospectus. Participating agents or broker-dealers in
the distribution of any of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any
discount or commission received by any underwriter and any participating agents
or broker-dealers, and any profit on the resale of shares of common stock
purchased by any of them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions under the Securities Act.
Shares of our common stock may be sold through a broker-dealer acting as
agent or broker or to a broker-dealer acting as principal. In the latter case,
the broker-dealer may then resell such shares of common stock to the public at
varying prices to be determined by the broker-dealer at the time of resale.
To the extent required, the number of shares of common stock to be sold,
information relating to the underwriters, the purchase price, the public
offering price, if applicable, the name of any underwriter, agent or
broker-dealer, and any applicable commissions, discounts or other items
constituting compensation to such underwriters, agents or broker-dealers with
respect to a particular offering will be set forth in an accompanying supplement
to this prospectus.
If underwriters are used in a sale, shares of common stock will be acquired
by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Shares of
common stock may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates
represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more
firms acting as underwriters. The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a
particular underwritten offering of shares of common stock will be named in the
supplement to this prospectus relating to that offering and, if an underwriting
syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be stated on
the cover of the prospectus supplement.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock
registered by the registration statement may be sold in those states only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
4
Any person participating in the distribution of common stock registered
under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject
to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by
any such person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any
person engaged in the distribution of our common stock to engage in
market-making activities with respect to our common stock. These restrictions
may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person
or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common
stock.
Upon sale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus,
the shares of common stock registered by the registration statement will be
freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation-a derivative action), if
they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable
to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. Article
XXIII of our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for indemnification of our
directors, officers, employees and agents for expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments or fines of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding.
Article 11 of our restated certificate of incorporation provides that
directors shall not be liable for monetary damages resulting from a breach of
their fiduciary duties, except for liability for any of the following: (1) any
breach of the duty of loyalty to us and our stockholders; (2) acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law; (3) as provided under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (which provides that directors are personally liable for unlawful dividends
or unlawful stock repurchase or redemptions); or (4) any transaction from which
a director personally derived any improper personal benefit. If the Delaware
General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of Article
11 to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of any of our directors shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as so amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification of
Article 11 shall not increase the personal liability of any of our directors for
any act or occurrence taking place prior to such repeal or modification, or
otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of any of our directors
existing hereunder prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
We have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and executive
officers (each, an "Indemnitee" and collectively, the "Indemnitees"). The
indemnity agreements provide a contractual right to indemnification to the
Indemnitees for certain expenses incurred due to actions, suits or other
proceedings brought against them in their capacity as directors, officers,
employees or agents of us or any of our subsidiaries.
II-1
We maintain director and officer liability insurance policies on behalf of
any person who is or was a director or officer of us or our subsidiary companies
providing for insurance against any liability incurred by him or her in any such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such. The policies contain
various reporting requirements and exclusions.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Delaware Corporation law, the
purchase agreement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES TO BE ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT

January 8, 2001 No. 002
Originally Issued: August 17, 1998
WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
CONCURRENT COMPUTER CORPORATION
This certifies that Scientific-Atlanta Strategic Investments, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company, and its registered successors and assigns
(the "Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from Concurrent
------
Computer Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), having a place of
-------
business at 4375 RiverGreen Parkway, Duluth, Georgia 30096, for cash at the
price of $5.00 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") at any time or from time
--------------------
to time after January 8, 2001 (the "Commencement Date") up to and including 5:00
-----------------
p.m. (Eastern time) on August 17, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), two million
---------------
(2,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), upon surrender to the Company at
------------
its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the
Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of
Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and upon payment in cash
or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price for the number of shares for
which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
1.1. GENERAL. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the
Holder, at any time or from time to time after the Commencement Date up to and
including the Expiration Date for all or any part of the shares of Common Stock
(but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder. The
Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant
shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of
such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have been surrendered, properly endorsed, together with the completed, executed
Form of Subscription, and payment made for such shares. Certificates for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased,
1
together with any other securities or property to which the Holder hereof is
entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the
Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the rights
represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a purchase of
less than all the shares of Common Stock which may be purchased under this
Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock
purchasable under the Warrant surrendered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such
denominations of Common Stock as may be required by the Holder hereof and shall
be registered in the name of such Holder.
2. SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants
and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Common Stock when and as required to provide for the exercise in full
of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such
action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be
issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common
Stock is listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
effect a registration under federal or state securities laws with respect to
such exercise. If at any time the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant hereto, together with the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of (i) all then-outstanding
securities (whether debt or equity) of the Company convertible or exchangeable
for Common Stock and (ii) all then-outstanding warrants and options to purchase
Common Stock, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then
authorized by the Company's articles of incorporation but unissued, the Company
shall promptly amend its articles of incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock such that there shall be a sufficient number
of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available at all times to
effect the exercise hereof.
3. ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. The Stock Purchase Price or shares issuable
hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence
of certain events described in this Section 3.
3.1. ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS, COMBINATIONS, DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits. If the Company shall, at any time or
------------------------------
from time to time, effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Stock Purchase Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased by
multiplying (i) such Stock Purchase Price, by (ii) a fraction:
2
(A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such
subdivision; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such
subdivision.
(b) Adjustment for Stock Combination. If the Company shall, at any time
---------------------------------
or from time to time, effect any combination of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Stock Purchase Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased by
multiplying (i) such Stock Purchase Price, by (ii) a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such
combination; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such
combination.
(c) Date Adjustment Effective. Any adjustment under paragraph (a) or (b)
-------------------------
of this Section 3.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date
on which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Adjustment for Stock Dividend or Distribution. In the event the
--------------------------------------------------
Company shall, at any time or from time to time, make or issue, or fix a record
date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock,
then, and in each such event, the Stock Purchase Price payable upon exercise of
this Warrant then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance
or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of
the business on such record date, by multiplying (i) the Stock Purchase Price
payable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect, by (ii) a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the total number
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date, plus (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution; provided however, that if
such a record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not
fully paid, or such distribution is not fully made, on the date fixed
therefor, then the Stock Purchase Price shall be recomputed
accordingly as of the close of business on such record date.
3
In the event that the Holder elects to exercise such Warrant after any
record date for determining holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock but prior to
the date on which such dividend is paid, the Company may defer, until such
dividend is paid, the issue to the Holder of all of the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant solely by
reason of the adjustment made to the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph
(d) of this Section 3.1 on the record date for such dividend; provided however,
that the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Holder, issue to the
Holder a written certificate or other instrument evidencing the Holder's right
to receive such additional shares of Common Stock.
3.2. DIVIDENDS IN OTHER STOCK AND PROPERTY; RECLASSIFICATION. If at
any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of
stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor,
(A) any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time
directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other
distribution,
(B) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or
(C) additional stock or other securities or property (including cash)
by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares
or similar corporate rearrangement (other than an event for which
adjustment is otherwise made pursuant to Section 3.4 below), then and
in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this
Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares
of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other
securities and property (other than cash paid or payable as a cash
dividend) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise
had he been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date
on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to
receive such other shares of stock and other securities and property.
3.3. REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
SALE. If any reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected
in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and
adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter
have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common
Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or
other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
4
hereby. In any reorganization described above, appropriate provisions shall be
made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to
the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not effect
any such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by
written instrument, executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder
hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company,
the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be
entitled to purchase.
3.4. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder of this Warrant at the
address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, and, in case of a
Holder with an address of record outside of the United States, by facsimile, and
confirmed in writing by first class air mail. The notice shall be signed by the
Company's chief financial officer and shall state the nature of such adjustment,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of effecting the adjustment and
the facts upon which such adjustment is based. If at any time in addition to
any of the adjustments set forth in this Section 3, an increase in the number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock is required pursuant to Section 2
hereof, the Company shall promptly provide to the Holder a certificate of the
Secretary of the Company certifying that the requisite number of shares of
Common Stock have been authorized to permit the exercise of the Warrant.
3.5. OTHER NOTICES. If at any time:
(1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common
Stock;
(2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock
payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the
holders of its Common Stock;
(3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders
of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of
the capital stock of the Company; or consolidation or merger of the Company; or
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all
of its assets to, another corporation; or
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of
such Holder as shown on the
5
books of the Company, (a) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice (by
the method set forth in Section 3.4 above) of the date on which the books of the
Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution
or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the
same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause
(a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)
shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or conversion, as the case may be.
3.6. CERTAIN EVENTS. If any change in the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not,
in the reasonable opinion of the Company, fairly protect the purchase rights of
the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles
of such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant or the application of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase
rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of
the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase Price the total
number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the Warrant been
exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such shares until
after the event requiring adjustment.
4. ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.
5. CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
6. NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of
the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of
the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of
this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable
hereunder until and only to the extent that this Warrant shall have been
exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to
6
any liability of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its
creditors.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder hereof shall have the following rights:
7.1. DEMAND REGISTRATION. The Holder hereof shall have the right
to request, on one (1) occasion, that the Company prepare and promptly file a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") covering the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
---------------
exercise hereof (but not less than 500,000 shares) and the Company shall use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as
expeditiously as possible. Upon the receipt of such written request, the
Company shall give prompt written notice to all the Holders that it shall use
its best efforts to effect such registration; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Company shall not be required to effect any registration pursuant to this
Section 7.1:
(A) unless it shall have received written assurance that the
Warrant will be exercised no later than the closing of the sale of the Common
Stock to be sold pursuant to the related registration statement; or
(B) at any time prior to the expiration of a period of such
number of days following the date on which any previous distribution attempted
in respect of a registration requested pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall have
been terminated without being consummated as shall be determined by the lead
managing underwriter of any such underwritten offering (or, in the event no
underwriter shall have participated in such terminated distribution, by an
investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Holder)
to be reasonably necessary and appropriate to effect the successful distribution
of securities in a subsequent registration requested pursuant to this Section
7.1, but in any event not more than 90 days after any such registration shall
have been terminated or not consummated; or
(C) at any time, as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall have reasonably determined that (1) such registration would have a
material adverse effect on any plan by the Company to engage in any acquisition
of material assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, or similar
transaction, (2) such registration would require the Company to file a
registration statement which includes audited financial statements as of any
date other than the date as of which the Company regularly prepares audited
financial statements and if the preparation thereof would entail material
out-of-pocket expense on the part of the Company, (3) such registration would
have a material adverse effect on the distribution of a registered primary
offering of equity securities by the Company pursuant to a registration
statement filed no more than four months before the date of such demand in
connection with which the Holder was offered the opportunity to participate
pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, or (4) the Company has received a written
opinion of independent counsel, a copy of which will be provided to the Holder,
that the securities requested to be registered are freely tradable without
registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; in any of the events
described in clauses (C) (1), (C) (2), (C) (3) or (C) (4), the Company may delay
commencement of its efforts to effect the registration pursuant to this
7
Section 7.1 until the earlier to occur of (x) the expiration of the 90-day
period following the date on which such registration was requested or (y) such
time as the circumstances requiring such a delay in registration cease to exist,
provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to delay any such
-------- -------
registration for more than one such 90-day period; and provided, further,
-------- -------
however, that in any of the events described in clauses (C) (1), (C) (2), (C)
(3), or (C) (4), the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw such request and,
notwithstanding anything else provided herein, such demand shall not count as
the permitted demand registration as described in this Section 7.1.
7.2. PIGGYBACK RIGHTS. In addition, each time the Company shall
determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, (excluding
a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or a registration statement on Form S-1
covering solely an employee benefit plan) in connection with the proposed offer
and sale for money of any of its securities either for its own account or on
behalf of any other security holder, the Company shall give prompt written
notice of such determination to the Holder hereof. The Holder hereof shall
provide a written request to the Company if it desires to participate in such
registration (the "Holder Notice"), accompanied by this Warrant, duly endorsed,
-------------
together with a Form of Subscription attached hereto, duly filled in and signed,
and the prompt payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price
for the shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in accordance with
Section 1 hereof, stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be registered,
which Holder Notice must be given within twenty (20) days after the receipt by
the Holder of the Company's notice. Upon receipt of the Holder Notice, the
Company shall cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the Holder hereof has requested registration to be
included in such registration statement and registered under the Securities Act,
all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the
prospective seller or sellers of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof
to be so registered. If the registration of which the Company gives written
notice pursuant to this Section 7.2 is for a public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holder as a part of its written
notice. In such event, the right of the Holder hereof to registration pursuant
to this Section 7.2 shall be conditioned upon the Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's shares of Common Stock in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein.
If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register
any of its securities and prior to the effective date of the registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company will give
written notice of such determination to the Holder, and, upon giving such
notice, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Common
Stock acquired upon exercise of the Warrant in connection with such registration
(but not from its obligation to pay the registration expenses in connection
therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Holder to request
that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 7.1.
If, in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 7.2, the
lead managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion,
the total number of securities requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and
adversely affecting the offering price of such securities by such
8
underwriters (such opinion to state the reasons therefor), the Company will
promptly furnish the Holder with a copy of such opinion and will include the
Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of the Warrant in such registration to
the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such
offering, determined as follows:
(i) if such registration as proposed by the Company involves a
primary registration of its securities, (x) first, the securities the Company
-----
proposes to sell, and (y) second, securities of the Company (including without
------
limitation securities issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of other
securities of the Company, and including the Common Stock to be acquired upon
exercise of the Warrant) pursuant to contractual rights, pro rata among the
--- ----
holders thereof (or, where appropriate, of the securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for the securities to be registered) on the basis of
the number of shares of such securities requested to be included by such
holders; and
(ii) if such registration as proposed by the Company was requested
by holders of securities of the Company other than the Holder, (x) first, such
-----
securities held by the holders initiating such registration, and (y) second,
------
securities of the Company (including without limitation securities issuable upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of other securities of the Company, and
including the Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of the Warrant)
requested to be included in such registration pursuant to contractual rights,
pro rata among the holders thereof (or, where appropriate, of the securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the securities to be
registered) on the basis of the number of shares of such securities requested to
be included by such holders.
7.3. PROCEDURE. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions of this Section 7 to effect the registration of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof under the Securities Act, the Company,
at its expense and as expeditiously as possible shall, in accordance with the
Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations, prepare and file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration
----------
statement with respect to such securities and shall use its best efforts to
cause such registration statement to become and remain effective until the
securities covered by such registration statement have been sold, and prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary
to keep such registration statement effective and such registration statement
and prospectus accurate and complete until the securities covered by such
registration statement have been sold. The Company shall furnish to the Holder
participating in such registration and to the underwriters of securities being
registered such number of copies of the registration statement and each
amendment and supplement thereto, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and
such other documents as such underwriters and holders may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the public offering of such securities. In addition, the
Company shall otherwise take such other actions as are necessary and appropriate
to effect any such registration in compliance with all provisions of the
Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, including, without
limitation, using its best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered
by such registration statement under such state securities or Blue Sky laws of
such jurisdictions as reasonably necessary to effect the sale thereof and such
other actions as the Holder shall reasonably request.
9
8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.
9. NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other and shall be sent to any
such holder located outside of the United States by facsimile confirmed in
writing by first class air mail.
10. BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the
covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the holder hereof.
11. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience
only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall
be governed by, the laws of the State of Georgia.
12. LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

Concurrent Computer Corporation
Attention: President
The undersigned, _________________________________________ ("Purchaser"),
---------
intends to acquire up to ______________________ shares of the Common Stock (the
"Common Stock") of Concurrent Computer Corporation (the "Company") from the
------------- -------
Company pursuant to the exercise or conversion of a certain Warrant to purchase
Common Stock held by Purchaser. The Common Stock will be issued to Purchaser in
a transaction not involving a public offering and pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
--------------
and applicable state securities laws. In connection with such purchase and in
order to comply with the exemptions from registration relied upon by the
Company, Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
Purchaser is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account, to hold for
investment, and Purchaser shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition
of the Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or the General Rules and
Regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") or in violation of any applicable state securities law.
---
Purchaser has been advised that the Common Stock has not been registered
for initial issuance under the Securities Act or state securities laws on the
ground that this transaction is exempt from registration, and that reliance by
the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on Purchaser's
representations set forth in this letter.
Purchaser has been informed that under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, the Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless it is
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available with respect to
any proposed transfer or disposition by Purchaser of the Common Stock.
13
Purchaser also understands and agrees that there will be placed on the
certificate(s) for the Common Stock, or any substitutions therefor, a legend
stating in substance:
The securities evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under
the securities act of 1933, as amended, or under any applicable state securities
laws. The securities may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such
registration or an exemption therefrom under such act and under any applicable
state securities laws.
Purchaser has carefully read this letter and has discussed its requirements
and other applicable limitations upon Purchaser's resale of the Common Stock
with Purchaser' s counsel.

Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to the Development Agreement Regarding
Video-On-Demand System, between Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. ("Scientific-Atlanta")
and Concurrent Computer Corporation ("Concurrent"), dated August 17, 1998 (the
"Agreement") and the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of Concurrent
Computer Corporation reissued to Scientific-Atlanta Strategic Investments,
L.L.C. ("SASI" and together with Scientific-Atlanta, "S-A"), dated January 8,
2001 (the "Warrant"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Warrant.
In consideration of the agreements of the parties contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the
parties hereby acknowledge, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees as follows:
1. Shelf Registration Rights. Concurrent and S-A hereby agree that
-------------------------
Concurrent will, at its expense, prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement that covers all
----------
of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the
"Shares") to be offered on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
-------
under the Securities Act (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). Concurrent
----------------------------
further agrees to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus contained
therein as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective
until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Shares have been sold or (ii)
the date on which the Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act and could be sold in one transaction in accordance with the
volume limitations contained in Rule 144(e)(1) under the Securities Act. S-A
acknowledges that is has used its one (1) demand right pursuant to Section 7.1
of the Warrant in causing Concurrent to file the Shelf Registration Statement.
2. Blackout Period for Shelf Registration Statement. Concurrent and S-A
------------------------------------------------
hereby agree that if Concurrent is in possession of material nonpublic
information that it deems advisable not to disclose or is engaged in active
negotiations or planing for a merger or acquisition or disposition transaction,
Concurrent may deliver written notice to S-A to the effect that S-A may not make
offers or sales under the Shelf Registration Statement for a period not to
exceed sixty (60) days from the date of such notice; provided, however, that
Concurrent may only deliver two such notices during any twelve month period.
3. Shelf Registration Notice. S-A will deliver a written notice to
-------------------------
Concurrent (the "Shelf Registration Notice") that S-A intends to make offers or
-------------------------
sales under the Shelf Registration Statement prior to any such offer or sale. If
Concurrent determines that it is necessary to amend or supplement the
prospectus, Concurrent will cause such amendment or supplement to be prepared
and filed with the Commission as soon as possible, and in no event later than
ten (10) business days after receipt of the Shelf Registration Notice. S-A will
not offer or sell any Shares under the Shelf Registration Statement until it has
received from Concurrent copies of the prospectus, as amended or supplemented as
the case may be, and has received written notice from Concurrent that the Shelf
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments have become effective.
Further, S-A shall notify Concurrent upon completion of such offer and sale or
at such time as S-A no longer intends to make offers or sales under the Shelf
Registration Statement.
4. Performance Warrants. S-A acknowledges that Concurrent's decision to
--------------------
file the Shelf Registration Statement should not be construed as an agreement to
file a registration statement covering shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of any "performance warrant" issued to S-A in the future (such warrants
are referred to in Section 9.2 of the Agreement and a form of such warrant is
included as Exhibit D to the Agreement) on a delayed or continuous basis
---------
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Each performance warrant granted
to S-A will be governed by the terms of such warrant.
5. Counterparts. This letter agreement may be executed in two or more
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
6. Governing Law. This letter agreement shall be governed by and
-------------
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia, without
giving effect to choice of law provisions.
If the foregoing accurately reflects our understanding, please sign below
to evidence your acceptance and agreement with the foregoing and return one copy
of this letter to the undersigned, whereupon it shall become a binding
agreement.

2. Registration Under the Securities Act.
(a) Demand Registration.
-------------------
(i) Subject to the provisions set forth in this Section
2(a)(i), at any time and from time to time, any Holder or Holders may elect, by
giving written notice thereof to the Company, to require the Company to use its
reasonable best efforts to register all or a portion of the Registrable
Securities of such Holder or Holders (each, an "INITIATING HOLDER," and,
collectively, the "INITIATING HOLDERS") under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts
to register the Registrable Securities upon such demand only if the number of
Registrable Securities to be so registered is at least (A) 65,000 shares (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations,
reclassifications and other similar events) or (B) all of the Initiating
Holder's shares of Registrable Securities, if such Holder holds fewer than
65,000 shares of Registrable Securities. Promptly following such demand, the
Company shall (A) give notice to each other Holder of Registrable Securities of
such demand, which notice shall set forth the identity of the Initiating
Holders, and (B) use its reasonable best efforts, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(a), to cause to be declared or become effective under
the Securities Act a Form S-3 registration statement providing for the
registration of, and the sale in accordance with the intended method or methods
of distribution thereof by the Initiating Holders of, the Registrable Securities
to be so registered. Any other Holder of Registrable Securities may elect, by
giving written notice to such effect to the Company no later than 10 business
days after the Company shall have given the notice referred to in clause (A) of
the preceding sentence, to have all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable
Securities included in such registration, and such Holder shall thereby become
an Initiating Holder with respect to such registration for all purposes
hereunder. If the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3, the
registration statement shall be filed using such form as may be available for
the proposed distribution by the Initiating Holders with which it is least
burdensome for the Company to comply. Subject to the provisions in Section 5
and, as set forth in Section 10, the termination of the registration rights
granted under this Agreement, the Holders shall be limited to two demands made
under this Section 2(a)(i) for an underwritten registration of Registrable
Securities and the Company shall not be required to effect any registration (A)
within 90 days of the effective date of any registration made under Section 2(a)
or Section 2(b) or (B) within 90 days of the date on which any registration has
been withdrawn under Section 2(c).
(ii) If, in connection with a registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), any managing underwriter shall advise
the Initiating Holders in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the
registration statement of some or all of the Registrable Securities sought to be
registered by the Initiating Holders creates a substantial risk that the price
per unit that such Initiating Holders will derive from such registration will be
materially and adversely affected or that the number of Registrable Securities
sought to be registered is too large a number to be reasonably sold, the Company
will include in such registration statement such number of Registrable
Securities as the Initiating Holders are so advised can reasonably be sold in
such offering, or can be sold without such an effect, allocated pro rata and
without any priority as between the Initiating Holders, in proportion to the
number of Registrable Securities that each Initiating Holder owns or has the
right to acquire relative to
- 3 -
the total number of Registrable Securities that all Initiating Holders own or
have the right to acquire.
(b) "Piggyback" Registration.
-----------------------
(i) If, at any time, the Company proposes to register any of
its Common Stock, Rights or other equity securities under the Securities Act on
Form S-1, Form S-2 or Form S-3 (or an equivalent general registration form then
in effect) for purposes of an offering or sale by or on behalf of the Company of
its Common Stock, Rights or other equity securities for its own account (a
"PRIMARY OFFERING"), or upon the request or for the account of any holder of its
Common Stock, Rights or other equity securities (a "SECONDARY OFFERING"), or for
purposes of a combined primary and secondary offering (a "COMBINED OFFERING"),
then each such time the Company shall, at least 20 business days prior to the
time when any such registration statement is filed with the Commission, give
prompt written notice to the Holders of its intention to do so. Such notice
shall specify, at a minimum, the number and class of shares, Rights or equity
securities so proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such
registration statement, any proposed means of distribution of such shares,
Rights or securities, any proposed managing underwriter or underwriters of such
shares, Rights or securities and a good faith estimate by the Company of the
proposed maximum offering price thereof, as such price is proposed to appear on
the facing page of such registration statement. Upon the written direction of
any Holder or Holders, given within 15 business days following the receipt by
such Holder of any such written notice (which direction shall specify the number
of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the
intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall include in such
registration statement any or all of the Registrable Securities then held by
such Holder requesting such registration (a "SELLING HOLDER") to the extent
necessary to permit the sale or other disposition of such number of Registrable
Securities as such Holder has so directed the Company to be so registered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall not have any right under this
Section 2(b)(i) if the registration proposed to be effected by the Company
relates solely to shares of Common Stock, Rights or other equity securities
which are issuable solely to officers or employees of the Company or any
subsidiary thereof pursuant to a bona fide employee stock option, bonus or other
employee benefit plan or as direct consideration in connection with a merger,
exchange offer or acquisition of a business.
(ii) If the Company proposes to register shares of Common
Stock, Rights or other equity securities for purposes of a primary offering, and
any managing underwriter shall advise the Company and the Selling Holders in
writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the registration statement of
some or all of the Registrable Securities sought to be registered by such
Selling Holders creates a substantial risk that the price per unit the Company
will derive from such registration will be materially and adversely affected or
that the number of shares, Rights or securities sought to be registered
(including, in addition to the securities sought to be registered by the
Company, any securities sought to be included in such registration statement by
any other stockholder pursuant to "piggyback" registration rights (a "PIGGYBACK
STOCKHOLDER") and those sought to be registered by the Selling Holders) is too
large a number to be reasonably sold, then the Company will include in such
registration statement such number of shares, Rights or securities as the
Company, the Piggyback Stockholders and such Selling Holders are so advised can
be sold in such offering without such an effect (the "PRIMARY
- 4 -
MAXIMUM NUMBER"), as follows and in the following order of priority: (A) first,
such number of shares, Rights or securities as the Company, in its reasonable
judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound financial
practice, shall have determined, and (B) second, if and to the extent that the
number of shares, Rights or securities to be registered under clause (A) is less
than the Primary Maximum Number, shares, Rights or securities of each Selling
Holder and Piggyback Stockholder pro rata, and without any priority as between
the Selling Holders and such Piggyback Stockholders, in proportion to the number
sought to be registered by each Selling Holder and each such Piggyback
Stockholder relative to the number sought to be registered by all the Selling
Holders and all such Piggyback Stockholders, which in the aggregate, when added
to the number of shares, Rights or securities to be registered under clause (A),
equals the Primary Maximum Number.
(iii) If the Company proposes to register shares of Common
Stock or other equity securities for purposes of a secondary offering, upon the
request or for the account of any holder thereof pursuant to "demand"
registration rights of such holder including, without limitation, the Provider
or any other Holder (each a "REQUESTING HOLDER"), and any managing underwriter
shall advise the Requesting Holder or Holders and the Selling Holders in writing
that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the registration statement of some or all
of the shares, Rights or securities sought to be registered by the Requesting
Holders and of the Registrable Securities sought to be registered by the Selling
Holders creates a substantial risk that the price per unit that such Requesting
Holder or Holders and such Selling Holders will derive from such registration
will be materially and adversely affected or that the number of shares, Rights
or securities sought to be registered (including any securities sought to be
registered at the instance of the Requesting Holder or Holders, any securities
sought to be included in such Registration Statement by any Piggyback
Stockholder and those sought to be registered by the Selling Holders) is too
large a number to be reasonably sold, the Company will include in such
registration statement such number of shares, Rights or securities as the
Requesting Holders and the Selling Holders are so advised can reasonably be sold
in such offering, or can be sold without such an effect (the "SECONDARY MAXIMUM
NUMBER"), as follows and in the following order of priority: (A) first, such
number of shares, Rights or securities as the Requesting Holder shall have
requested, and (B) second, if and to the extent that the number of shares,
Rights or securities to be registered under clause (A) is less than the
Secondary Maximum Number, shares, Rights or securities of each Selling Holder
and Piggyback Stockholder pro rata, and without any priority as between the
Selling Holders and each such Piggyback Stockholders, in proportion to the
number sought to be registered by each Selling Holder and such Piggyback
Stockholder relative to the number sought to be registered by all the Selling
Holders and all such Piggyback Stockholders, which, in the aggregate, when added
to the number of shares, Rights or securities to be registered under clause (A),
equals the Secondary Maximum Number.
(iv) If the Company proposes to register shares of Common
Stock, Rights or other equity securities for purposes of a combined offering,
and any managing underwriter shall advise the Company, the Requesting Holder or
Holders and the Selling Holders in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion
in the registration statement of some or all of the Registrable Securities
sought to be registered by the Selling Holders and any shares, Rights or
securities sought to be registered by Piggyback Stockholders creates a
substantial risk that the price per unit the Company and/or the Requesting
Holders will derive from such registration will
- 5 -
be materially and adversely affected, then the Company will include in such
registration statement such number of shares, Rights or securities as the
Company, the Requesting Holders, the Piggyback Stockholders and the Selling
Holders are so advised can be sold in such offering without such an effect (the
"COMBINED MAXIMUM NUMBER"), as follows and in the following order of priority:
(A) first, such number of shares, Rights or securities as the Company, in its
reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound
financial practice, shall have determined, and any shares, Rights or securities
sought to be registered by any Requesting Holders, (B) second, if and to the
extent that the number of shares, Rights or securities to be registered under
clause (A) is less than the Combined Maximum Number, shares, Rights or
securities of each Selling Holder and Piggyback Stockholder pro rata, and
without any priority as between the Selling Holders and each such Piggyback
Stockholders, in proportion to the number sought to be registered by each
Selling Holder and each such Piggyback Stockholder relative to the number sought
to be registered by all the Requesting Holders and Selling Holders, which, in
the aggregate, when added to the number of shares, Rights or securities to be
registered under clause (A), equals the Combined Maximum Number.
(c) Withdrawals. Any Holder having notified or directed the Company
-----------
to include any or all of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a registration
statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof shall have the right to
withdraw such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable
Securities designated for registration thereby by giving written notice to such
effect to the Company at least five business days prior to the anticipated
effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such
withdrawal, the Company shall amend such registration statement and take such
other actions as may be necessary so that such withdrawn Registrable Securities
are not included in the applicable registration and not sold pursuant thereto,
and such withdrawn Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable
Securities in accordance herewith. No such withdrawal shall affect the
obligations of the Company with respect to Registrable Securities not so
withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a registration pursuant to
Section 2(a) if such withdrawal shall reduce the total number of Registrable
Securities to be so registered to less than 65,000 shares (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications and
other similar events), then the Company shall, prior to the filing or
effectiveness, as appropriate, of such registration statement, give each Holder
of Registrable Securities so to be registered notice, referring to this
Agreement, of such fact and, within 10 business days following the giving of
such notice, either the Company or the Holders of a majority of such Registrable
Securities may, by written notice to each Holder of such Registrable Securities
and the Company, as the case may be, elect that such registration statement not
be filed or, if it has theretofore been filed, that it be withdrawn. During
such 10 business day period, the Company shall not file such registration
statement or, if it has theretofore been filed, shall use its reasonable best
efforts not to permit it to become effective. In the event of any election
contemplated by the proviso to the next preceding sentence, no registration
statement with respect to Registrable Securities shall thereafter be filed with
the SEC without compliance with all of the procedures set forth in Section 2(a)
hereof.

(a) In the event that, following any demand pursuant to Section
2(a)(i) hereof but prior to the filing of a registration statement in respect of
such demand, (i) the Company, after consultation with outside counsel,
determines reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a registration statement filed hereunder would require disclosure of
non-public material information, the disclosure of which at such time could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or
affairs of the Company or a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any extraordinary engagement
or activity by the Company, including, without limitation, any material
acquisition of assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar
transaction, and (ii) the Company gives the Initiating Holders written notice of
such determination (which notice shall include a copy of the resolutions of the
Board of Directors of the Company reflecting such determination), the Company
shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)(i) hereof, be entitled to
postpone for up to 60 days the filing of any registration statement otherwise
required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof (the
- 12 -
number of days of any such postponement is hereinafter called a "REGISTRATION
POSTPONEMENT PERIOD").
(b) At any time when a registration statement covering Registrable
Securities is effective, upon written notice from the Company to the Holders of
Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the
underwriters, if any, thereof and the sales or placement agents, if any,
therefor, that the Company, after consultation with outside counsel, has
determined reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of non-public
material information, the disclosure of which at such time could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or affairs of the
Company or a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries to engage in any extraordinary engagement or activity by
the Company, including, without limitation, any material acquisition of assets
or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, such Holders,
underwriters and agents shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the registration statement until the earlier of (i) 60 days after
the Company notifies the Holders, underwriters and agents of such good faith
determination, or (ii) such time as the Company notifies the Holders,
underwriters and agents that such material information has been disclosed to the
public or has ceased to be material or that sales pursuant to the registration
statement may otherwise be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of
sales by the Holders until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder is
hereinafter called a "SALES BLACKOUT PERIOD").
(c) No Registration Postponement Period or Sales Blackout Period
shall be commenced by the Company within 90 days after the end of a Registration
Postponement Period or Sales Blackout Period, and the Company shall not be
permitted to commence more than two Registration Postponement Periods or Sales
Blackout Periods, collectively, in any 12 month period.
(d) No Registration Postponement Period or Sales Blackout Period
shall preclude any sales of Registrable Securities that the Holder thereof may
effect in compliance with Rule 144 without registration of such Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act; provided that the Holder otherwise conforms
with the requirements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
---------------
(a) Indemnification by the Company. Upon the registration of any
------------------------------
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Holders, their respective officers, directors, members and
partners, and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the
meaning of the Securities Act ("HOLDER INDEMNITEES"), from and against any and
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or
several, to which they or any of them may become subject, including any amount
paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly
reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred
by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions shall arise out
of, or shall be based upon, any violation or alleged violation by the Company of
the Securities Act, any blue sky laws or securities laws of
- 13 -
any state or county in which the Registrable Securities are offered, and
relating to action taken or action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with such offering, or shall arise out of, or shall be based upon,
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included
therein) relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by
reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable to any Holder
Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission, if such statement
or omission shall have been (i) made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of any Holder
Indemnitee for inclusion in such registration statement (or in any preliminary
or final prospectus included therein), or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or (ii) made in any preliminary prospectus and the final prospectus
shall have corrected such statement or omission and a copy of such final
prospectus shall have been delivered to the Holder Indemnitee prior to the time
such final prospectus is required to be delivered by such Holder Indemnitee
under applicable law. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnitee
and shall survive the transfer of such securities. The foregoing indemnity
agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have to
any Holder Indemnitee.
(b) Indemnification by the Holder and Any Underwriters. The Company
--------------------------------------------------
may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any
registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof and to entering into
any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the Company shall have
received an undertaking from the Holder thereof and from each underwriter named
in such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and all other Holders, if any, of Registrable Securities
selling under the same registration statement, their respective officers and
directors and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the
meaning of the Securities Act (the "COMPANY INDEMNITEES"), from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or
several, to which they or any of them may become subject, including any amount
paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly
reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred
by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions,
insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions shall arise
out of, or shall be based upon, any violation or alleged violation by the Holder
or underwriters of the Securities Act, any blue sky laws or securities laws of
any state or country in which the Registrable Securities are offered, and
relating to action taken or action or inaction required of the Holder or
underwriters in connection with such offering, or shall arise out of, or shall
be based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement (or in any preliminary or final
prospectus included therein) relating to the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case (i)
- 14 -
only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in, or such fact is
omitted from, information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of
the Holder for inclusion in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or
final prospectus included therein), and (ii) if such statement or omission is
incorporated by the Company in any preliminary prospectus, only to the extent
that such statement or omission shall not have been corrected in writing by or
on behalf of the Holder prior to the time the final prospectus is required to be
delivered by the Company under applicable law. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Company Indemnitee. The foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability
that the Holder and underwriters may otherwise have to any Company Indemnitee.
(c) Indemnification Procedures. In case any proceeding (including
--------------------------
any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 6, such person
(the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing. No
indemnification provided for in subsection (a) or (b) shall be available to any
person who shall fail to give notice as provided in this subsection (c) if the
indemnifying party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to
which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the
failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not
relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability that it or they may
have to the indemnified party for indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) or
(b) to the extent it was not materially prejudiced. In case any such proceeding
shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and
shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred the fees and expenses of the
counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel, in the written opinion
of such counsel, would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party does not promptly defend
the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such
indemnified parties (in addition to local counsel if required). Such firm shall
be designated in writing by the Holder in the case of Holder Indemnitees and by
the Company in the case of Company Indemnitees. The indemnifying party shall
not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The obligations of the
Company and the Holders and underwriters under this Section 6 shall survive the
- 15 -
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration
effected pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
(d) Limitations on Indemnity.
------------------------
(i) The indemnity provided for hereunder shall not inure to the
benefit of any indemnified party to the extent that the claim is based on such
indemnified party's failure to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as then applicable to the person asserting
the loss, claim, damage or liability for which indemnity is sought.
(ii) In no event shall the liability of any Holder or
underwriter under this Section 6, whether for indemnification or contribution,
exceed the net proceeds received by the Holder or underwriter from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration effected pursuant to Section
2 hereof.
(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
------------
Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
expenses or judgments referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by
applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such claim, liability, loss, damage, expense or judgment in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the circumstances that resulted in such claim, liability, loss,
damage, expense or judgment, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take into account the
equitable consideration referred to in this paragraph (e).
7. DESIGNATION OF MANAGING UNDERWRITER(S).
--------------------------------------
(a) Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities
-------------------
covered by any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof are
to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or
underwriters thereof shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm
designated by the Initiating Holders, provided that such designated managing
underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(b) Company Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities
--------------------
covered by any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof are
to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or
underwriters thereof shall be designated by
- 16 -
the Company, and no Holder of Registrable Securities so to be offered shall be
entitled to participate therein unless such Holder agrees to sell its
Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms of the underwriting arrangement as
agreed upon between the Company and the designated managing underwriter or
underwriters, and to complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement.
8. RULE 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits
--------
of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, the
Company shall:
(a) make and keep adequate current public information with respect to
the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each Holder upon written request (A) a written
statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (C) such other
reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request and
as is publicly available to enable such Holder to avail itself of any rule or
regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without
registration;
provided that nothing in this Section 8 shall require the Company to take any
action that would subject the Company to the requirements of the Exchange Act if
at such time the Company is not subject to the requirement of the Exchange Act.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company to
---------------------------------
use its reasonable best efforts to register Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 2 hereof may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by a Holder to a
transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities (or Rights or other securities
upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of which Registrable Securities are
issuable) without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld), except that a Holder may assign its rights to
cause the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to register Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof (a) to an Affiliate of such Holder or
(b) to a person that holds least 65,000 shares (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications and other
similar events) of Registrable Securities (or Rights or other securities upon
the conversion, exchange or exercise of which Registrable Securities are
issuable) following the transfer or assignment; provided, however, that (i) the
transferor furnishes to the Company prior to such transfer written notice of the
name and address of such assignee or transferee and the securities with respect
to which such registration rights are being assigned or transferred and such
other information as the Company may reasonably request and (ii) the transferee
agrees in writing reasonably acceptable to the Company concurrently with such
assignment or transfer to be subject to all restrictions set forth
- 17 -
in this Agreement with respect to the rights assigned or transferred to such
transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no assignment or transfer of the
rights to cause the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof in accordance with this
Section 9 shall relieve the transferor of responsibility for any of its
obligations hereunder and (y) the rights to cause the Company to use reasonable
best efforts to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 may not
be assigned by a Holder to SeaChange International, Inc, nCUBE Corporation or
Diva Systems Corporation, unless with respect to provision (y) of this Section
9, such corporation is: (A) an Affiliate of such Holder, (B) the purchaser of
substantially all of the assets of such Holder or an Affiliate of such Holder,
(C) the purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of a division or
line of business of such Holder or an Affiliate of such Holder, or (D) in the
case of a consolidation or merger in which such Holder is not the surviving
entity, to the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger. Any attempted
assignment or transfer by a Holder of any rights to cause the Company to use its
reasonable best efforts to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2
hereof in violation of this Section 9 shall be null and void.
10. TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. A Holder's registration rights
----------------------------------
provided hereunder with respect to any Registrable Securities shall terminate
upon the earlier of (a) the second anniversary of the date on which the shares
of Common Stock that are the subject of such Registrable Securities are actually
issued to such Holder or (b) the date on which all Registrable Securities issued
or issuable to such Holder on the basis of a cash exercise price may be sold in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
11. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company shall not (a) grant
--------------------------
registration rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock, Rights or other
equity securities that would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this
Agreement, or (b) enter into or become bound by, or permit any subsidiary of the
Company to enter into or become bound by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument that would prohibit, be
violated by, conflict with or provide that a default would arise from, the
compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, except for any such
prohibitions, violations, conflicts or defaults that, individually and in the
aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole and would not impair, delay or restrict the
exercise by the Holders of their rights hereunder. The Company represents and
warrants that it is not currently a party to any agreement with respect to any
of its equity or debt securities granting any registration rights to (i) any
person that would prohibit, be violated by, conflict with or provide that a
default would arise from, the compliance by the Company with any of the
provisions herein or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (ii) any customer of the Company other than Comcast and its
Affiliates.

Re: Concurrent Computer Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Concurrent Computer Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration of 2,054,431
shares of common stock (the "Shares"), as described in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Shares will be issued to the selling stockholders upon exercise of
(i) the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of Concurrent Computer
Corporation reissued to Scientific-Atlanta Strategic Investments, L.L.C. on
January 8, 2001, (ii) the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of Concurrent
Computer Corporation issued to Comcast Concurrent Holdings, Inc. on March 29,
2001 and (iii) the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of Concurrent Computer
Corporation issued to Comcast Concurrent Holdings, Inc. on October 9, 2001 (the
"Warrants").
As such counsel, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents,
certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to form the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In all
such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original
documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies submitted
to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, and as to certificates of
public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be
accurate. As to matters of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon
statements and representations of representatives of the Company and public
officials.
The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the corporate
law of the State of Delaware (which includes the Delaware General Corporation
Law, applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial
decisions concerning those laws), and no opinion is expressed with respect to
the laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the
opinions expressed herein. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein,
and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated
herein.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the following: (1) the Shares
that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants will continue to be duly
authorized on the dates of such issuance and (2) on the date on which the
Warrants are exercised, such Warrants will have been duly executed, issued and
delivered by the Company and will constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles and the discretion of courts in granting
equitable remedies.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the other limitations and
qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
(i) The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware; and
(ii) The Shares to be issued to the selling stockholders upon exercise of
the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to
advise you after the effective date of the Registration Statement of facts or
circumstances that come to our attention or changes in law that occur which
could affect the opinions contained herein. This letter is being rendered solely
for the benefit of the Company in connection with the matters addressed herein.
This opinion may not be furnished to or relied upon by any person or entity for
any purpose without our prior written consent.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ King & Spalding
