               limited to those set forward in this document. Manufacturer

               Product to be purchased under this Agreement will be purchased on
               its behalf as an original equipment manufacturer and that each
               and every Product will be incorporated by Purchaser or its
               customers into another system that Purchaser assembles, for sale
               or lease, in the regular course of Purchaser's business.
               Purchaser further certifies that the system into which each and
               every Product is incorporated will include the addition of
               hardware and/or software supplied by Purchaser which, by an
               objective examination of such






               factors as cost, product features, and pricing, represent a
               significant enhancement and transformation of the Products (with
               regard to both value and function) and result in a system
               substantially different from any of Manufacturer's systems.
               Purchaser agrees that Products intended for other purposes shall
               not be purchased under this Agreement. Upon Manufacturer's
               request, Purchaser shall furnish to Manufacturer evidence of

               qualification under this Subsection 3.1. is within the sole
               discretion of Manufacturer.

        3.2.   PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO SOFTWARE LICENSE AND OTHER
               RESTRICTIONS. The sale of each Product to Purchaser and the
               transfer of title for each purchased Product to Purchaser shall

               types of media), or any updates and modifications thereto that
               are included (collectively, "Software") or a transfer of Software
               title to Purchaser. Instead, the sale of each Product shall
               include a fully paid license for Purchaser to transfer the

               Purchaser's customers in accordance with the terms of Subsection
               6.1. below. Manufacturer shall retain full title to the Software
               and all copies thereof and Purchaser and its customers may use

               executed Software licenses. Neither Purchaser nor its customers
               shall have any access to or rights in the Software source codes.
               Neither Purchaser nor its customers shall have the right to copy,

               purchases the minimum number of the Product specified in Exhibit

               commitments in connection with the business or goodwill of
               Manufacturer or Purchaser. Termination shall not, however,

               restrictions contained in this Subsection 10.2.

        10.3.  CONFIDENTIALITY. Purchaser acknowledges that by reason of its
               relationship to Manufacturer hereunder it may have access to
               certain information and materials concerning Manufacturer's
               business, plans, customers, technology, and products that are
               confidential and of substantial value to Manufacturer, which
               value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to
               third parties. Purchaser agrees that it will not use in any way
               for its own account or the account of any third party, nor
               disclose to any third party, any such confidential information

               information. Purchaser's obligations shall not apply to
               information that: (i) is generally known to the public, or (ii)

               settlement entered against Purchaser or its customer on such
               issue in any such suit or proceeding defended by Manufacturer.
               Purchaser agrees that Manufacturer at its sole option shall be
               relieved of the foregoing obligations unless Purchaser or its
               customer notifies Manufacturer promptly in writing of such claim,
               suit or proceeding and gives Manufacturer authority to proceed as
               contemplated herein, and, at Manufacturer's expense, gives

               Products, or any part thereof, are, or in the opinion of
               Manufacturer may

               infringement of any United States patent, copyright or trademark,
               or if it is adjudicatively determined that the Products, or any
               part thereof, infringe any United States patent, copyright or
               trademark, or if the sale or use of the Products, or any part
               thereof, is, as a result, enjoined, then Manufacturer may, at its
               option and expense either: (i) procure for Purchaser and its
               customers the right under Such patent, copyright or trademark to
               sell or use, as appropriate, the Products or such part thereof;
               or (ii) replace the Products, or part thereof, with other
               suitable Products or parts of equivalent performance or
               functionality; or (iii) suitably modify the Products, or part
               thereof while maintaining equivalent performance and
               functionality; or (iv) if the use of the Products, or part
               thereof, evented by injunction, remove the Products, or part
               thereof, and refund the aggregate payments paid therefor by
               Purchaser, less a reasonable sum for use and damage. Manufacturer
               shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without
               its prior written authorization.

        12.2.  LIMITATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 12.1.
               above, Manufacturer assumes no liability for (i) infringements
               covering completed equipment or any assembly, circuit,
               combination, method or process in which any of the Products may
               be used but not covering the Products when used alone; (ii)
               trademark infringements involving any marking or branding not
               applied by Manufacturer or involving any marking or branding
               applied at the request of Purchaser; or (iii) infringements
               involving the modification or servicing of the Products, or any
               part thereof, unless such modification or servicing was done by

        13.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

        13.1.  INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The relationship of Manufacturer and
               Purchaser established by this Agreement is that of independent
               contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be

               by and construed under the laws of the State of California,
               U.S.A., except that perfection of the title reserved by
               Manufacturer in Subsection 4.13. above shall be governed by the
               laws of Purchaser's jurisdiction. The federal and state courts
               within the State of California, U.S.A., shall have exclusive
               jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of this
               Agreement. Purchaser hereby expressly consents to (1) the
               personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts within
               California, (ii) service of process being effected upon it by
               registered mail sent to the address set forth at the beginning of
               this Agreement, and (iii) the uncontested enforcement of a final
               judgment from such court in any other jurisdiction wherein
               Purchaser or any of its assets are present.

        13.3.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
               and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter
               herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No
               modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of
               any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in
               writing signed by the party to be charged.

               deemed to have been given three (3) days after deposit in the
               mail.

        13.5.  FORCE MAJEURE. Nonperformance of either party shall be excused to
               the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike,
               fire, flood, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, failure
               of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is
               beyond the reasonable control of and is not caused by the
               negligence of the nonperforming party.

        13.6.  NONASSIGNABILITY AND BINDING EFFECT. A mutually agreed
               consideration for Manufacturer's entering into this Agreement is
               the reputation, business standing, and goodwill already honored
               and enjoyed by Purchaser under its present ownership, and,
               accordingly, Purchaser agrees that its rights and obligations
               under this Agreement may not be transferred or assigned directly
               or indirectly without the prior written consent of Manufacturer
               provided that purchaser's assignment to an acquiror of all or
               substantially all of Purchaser's stock, assets or business shall
               not require Manufacturer's consent. Subject to the foregoing
               sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
               benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

        13.7.  LEGAL EXPENSES. The prevailing, party in any legal action brought
               by one party against the other and arising out of this Agreement
               shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies
               it may have, to reimbursement for its expenses, including court
               costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

        13.8.  COUNTERPARTS. This 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 instrument.

                         ADVANCE NOTIFICATION AGREEMENT

Manufacturer agrees to notify Purchaser in writing, ninety (90) days in advance
of shipments to Purchaser, any form, fit, or functional changes to products
procured by Purchaser. In the event a critical situation occurs which forces a
change to occur within the ninety (90) day notification period, Purchaser will
also be provided with immediate notification.

Furthermore, Manufacturer agrees to provide Purchaser with the option to
evaluate potential changes which affect form, fit, or function, in advance of
forecasted or requested shipments to Purchaser. If the changes are deemed
unacceptable to Purchaser, upon written notification, Manufacturer will supply
Purchaser with up to six months of the forecasted requirements at the previous
configuration before making the proposed change. If the Manufacturer is not able
to provide the previous configuration, manufacturer will

i.      accommodate the requirements of the Purchaser in the changed
        configuration, or

ii.     collaborate with, and assist the Purchaser in making changes to
        Purchaser's product to accommodate changes, or

iii.    provide end of life products per agreement.

If Purchaser does not provide a written request to evaluate the potential
changes within ten (10) working days of notification by Manufacturer,
Manufacturer is not obligated to supply Purchaser with the previous
configuration.

               upon terms and conditions or security satisfactory to such
               department.

        (b)    If, in the judgment of the Seller, the financial condition of the
               Buyer at any time does not justify continuation of production or
               shipment on the terms of payment originally specified, the Seller

               event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Buyer or in the
               event any proceeding is brought by or against the Buyer under the
               bankruptcy or insolvency laws, the Seller shall be entitled to
               cancel any order then outstanding and shall receive reimbursement
               for its cancellation charges.

        (c)    Each shipment shall be considered a separate and independent
               transaction, and payment therefor shall be made accordingly. If
               shipments are delayed by the Buyer, payment shall become due on
               the date when the Seller is prepared to make shipment. If the
               work covered by the purchase order is delayed by the Buyer,
               payments shall be made based on the purchase price and the
               percentage of completion. Products held for the Buyer shall be at

               full.

6 SHIPPING DATES All shipping dates are estimates only and are dependent upon
prompt receipt of the necessary information from Buyer. Shipments may be made in
installments. Seller shall be excused from performance and shall not be liable
for any delivery or for non delivery, in whole or in part, caused by the
occurrence of any contingency beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including
but not limited to war (whether an actual declaration thereof is made), sabotage
or other act or civil disobedience, judicial action, labor dispute, accident,
defaults of suppliers, fire, act of God, shortage of labor, fuel, raw materials

care in the prevention thereof. Seller may at its sole discretion allocate
production and delivery among Seller's customers.

7       RESCHEDULING/CANCELLATION

        (a)    No delivery delay requested by Buyer on an order placed will be
               effective unless covered by an amendment to the order that
               provides for the payment of any agreed upon costs the delay
               imposes on Seller and that it is signed by a duly authorized
               representative of Seller.

        (b)    Products returned for convenience of Buyer if accepted by Seller
               shall be subject to a restocking fee.

               of the scheduled delivery date. The amount of such charge shall
               be based on the quantity canceled and the time remaining.

        clause and the insertion, in the same place, of the words "a non
        exclusive"; and

2.2     the deletion of the words "Exhibit H" in the fourth line of that clause
        and the insertion in the same place, of the words "Exhibit G"

        such that Clause 6.1 shall, from the date of the letter be deemed to
        read:

        6.1     License to purchaser. Manufacturer hereby grants to Purchaser a

                in carrying out the Purchaser's obligations under the provisions
                of this Agreement. The license shall terminate on the
                termination of this Agreement for any reason.

3.      COM21 hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim that it
        has or which it may have as a result of any breach of Clause 6.1 which
        may have occurred prior to the date of this letter.
