EXHIBIT C

SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

1.  Seller’s Acceptance of Scientific-Atlanta’s Offer to Buy - Any purchase
order is Scientific-Atlanta’s offer to buy from Seller on the terms and
conditions stated therein and does not constitute an acceptance of any
previously made offer by Seller. Any reference to any previously made offer by
Seller is solely for the purpose of incorporating the description and
specification of the goods and services contained therein to the extent that
such description and specification do not conflict with the description and
specification contained in this order. Acceptance of any purchase order is
expressly limited to acceptance by Seller of each and every one of these terms
and conditions or those contained in other documents expressly incorporated
herein by reference and such acceptance will be accomplished by signing and
returning the “acceptance - sign and return” copy of a purchase order, by
shipping the goods or performing the services called for therein, by
acknowledging receipt of the purchase order or by any other conduct on the part
of Seller which recognizes the existence of a contract between
Scientific-Atlanta (“S-A”) and Seller pertaining to the subject matter hereof.
Should Seller attempt to add or to vary in any degree any of these terms and
conditions by additional, inconsistent, contrary, or different terms and
conditions contained in any response to or acknowledgment or acceptance of a
purchase order, such terms and conditions shall be deemed material and are
objected to and are rejected by S-A without further notice or objection to
Seller.

2.  Changes - S-A may at any time make changes within the general scope of any
order in drawings, specifications, designs, delivery schedules, quantities,
place of delivery, and packing and shipping instructions related to this order.
If any such change causes a variation in the cost of furnishing the goods or
services covered, and/or in the time required to perform an order, an equitable
adjustment in price and/or delivery schedule shall be made. No claim by Seller
shall be valid unless submitted within 15 days from the date notice of any such
change is received by Seller. Nothing in this clause shall relieve Seller from
proceeding without delay in the performance of an order as changed. S-A
engineering, technical, and other personnel may from time to time render
assistance or give technical advice to, or exchange information with, Seller’s
personnel concerning an order. Such assistance, advice, statements, or exchange
of information shall not constitute a waiver with respect to any of Seller’s
obligations or S-A’s rights hereunder or be authority for any change in the
goods or services called for hereunder. Any such waiver or change to be valid
and binding upon S-A must be in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of S-A’s purchasing department.

3.  Prices and Taxes - By acceptance of a purchase order, Seller certifies that
the prices stated therein are not in excess of prices quoted or charged any
other purchaser in similar quantities for the same goods or services. Unless
otherwise specified, prices set forth therein shall be firm prices and shall be
deemed to include Federal, State and local taxes applicable to the sale of the
goods and/or services ordered.

4. Title - Seller shall convey good title, free from any claim or encumbrance,
to all goods sold and delivered by Seller under this Contract. Title to the
goods shall pass at the time of shipment to S-A at the destination designated
for delivery by S-A in the purchase order.

5.  Time of Delivery and Excusable Delays - If Seller fails to make delivery or
otherwise to perform at the times stated in the order, or so fails to make
progress as to create a reasonable belief that it will not deliver or otherwise
perform on time, S-A has the right to cancel, purchase elsewhere, and, unless
the delay is excusable as provided below, hold Seller accountable for any
additional costs and damages incurred by S-A. Acceptance of any items delivered
late shall not constitute a waiver of S-A’s right to demand timely performance
as to future deliveries or to recover any damages suffered because of an
inexcusable late delivery. Seller will not be liable for S-A’s additional costs
and damages if the late delivery or performance is excusable as provided herein.
To be excusable, (i) a delay must be unavoidable and due to an act of God, war,
riot or other civil insurrection, epidemic, freight embargo, unforeseeable
strike, or an act of the government in its sovereign capacity, and (ii) written
notice of the occurrence of the event causing the delay must be given to S-A as
soon as reasonably possible and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the
event occurs. If requested by S-A, Seller shall ship via premium routing to
avoid or minimize delay to the maximum extent possible. The added cost of such
shipment shall be borne by Seller unless the late delivery is excusable as
specified above, in which case each party shall bear 50% of the added cost.
Items received more than ten (10) days before scheduled date may, at S-A’s
option, be returned at Seller’s expense, or be accepted and payment therefor
withheld until it would have been due had the items arrived at the proper time.

6.  Warranty - In addition to the warranty customarily offered by Seller in
connection with the sale of similar items, Seller warrants that all items
delivered pursuant to S-A’s purchase order will be in strict conformity with the
specifications (and approved sample, if furnished) and free from defects. IT IS
MANDATORY THAT VERIFIABLE HARD EVIDENCE OF ADEQUATE INSPECTION AND TEST
CONDUCTED BY THE SELLER BE FURNISHED ALONG WITH EACH LOT OF MATERIAL SUPPLIED TO
S-A. Notice of any nonconformity or defect must be given within one (1) year
after acceptance by S-A, except that notice may be given later for defects not
reasonably discoverable within one year. Promptly after receipt of notice,
Seller shall at its own expense take all necessary action to remedy the defect
and the

[Confidential Treatment Requested]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

results thereof to S-A’s reasonable satisfaction. The foregoing remedies do not
limit or exclude any other remedies provided by law.

7.  Indemnification - Seller shall indemnify and hold S-A, its officers,
directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates and any subsequent owner
or lessee of any item delivered hereunder, harmless from any loss, damage,
liability and expense (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) on
account of damage to property, including the property of S-A and injuries
(including death) to any persons (including Seller’s employees) arising from any
occurrence caused by any tortious act or omission of the Seller, its agents,
employees, or subcontractors. Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold the
aforesaid indemnitees harmless from any and all loss, damage, liability and
expense (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from any
claim, demand or legal action based on an allegation that the manufacture, use
or sale of any item delivered hereunder infringes any patent, copyright or other
intellectual property right of a third party. Seller shall have the right, at
its expense, to defend said claims, provided, that before yielding the defense
of a claim, S-A may require that adequate security be furnished against any
potential resulting judgments. S-A does not warrant that the manufacture or
delivery of any item under any purchase order will be free from third party
claims of infringement of patents or other proprietary rights.

8.  Termination - S-A may terminate a purchase order in whole or in part at any
time by written (including e-mail) or telegraphic notice to Seller. The notice
will state whether the termination is for the convenience of S-A or because of
the failure of the Seller to fulfill its obligations thereunder. If the
termination is for the convenience of S-A, S-A will reimburse Seller for the
actual direct and indirect costs incurred by Seller in good faith in the
performance of the terminated purchase order prior to or by reason of such
termination, less any amount representing the value of useable inventory or
salvage. In no event shall reimbursement plus payments previously made exceed
the total price specified in the terminated purchase order. If the termination
is because of the failure of Seller to fulfill its obligations thereunder, S-A
shall have the right to charge Seller with the extra costs of obtaining
elsewhere items similar to those that should have been delivered by Seller and
the right to exercise any other appropriate remedies available under law.

9.  S-A Property - All materials, software, and tools furnished or paid for by
S-A shall be the property of S-A, shall be subject to removal at any time
without additional cost upon demand by S-A, shall be used only in filling orders
from S-A, shall be kept separate from other materials, software, or tools, and
shall be clearly identified as the property of S-A. Seller assumes all liability
for loss or damage with the exception of normal wear and tear, and agrees to
supply detailed statements of inventory, upon request by S-A. Seller shall not
disclose any information of S-A whether written, oral, or in electromagnetic
form, which S-A identifies as proprietary or confidential and shall only use
such information in the performance of its obligations under this order.

10.  Drawings and Specifications - S-A shall at all times have title to all
drawings and specifications furnished by S-A to Seller and intended for use in
connection with a purchase order and Seller shall not reproduce or disclose such
drawings and specifications to any person, firm or corporation other than
Seller’s employees, subcontractors, or government inspectors as necessary for
the performance of the purchase order. The Seller shall at S-A’s request or upon
completion of a purchase order, promptly return all drawings and specifications
and all copies thereof to S-A. Seller shall impose and enforce these use
restrictions on its employees, subcontractors and suppliers.

11.  Assignment - No assignment of any rights, including rights to moneys due or
to become due under a purchase order, or delegation of any duties thereunder
shall be binding upon S-A unless and until its written consent has been
obtained.

12.  Applicable Law - All purchase orders shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Georgia without regard to its rules of conflicts of laws.

13.  Compliance with Law - Seller represents and warrants that all goods
specified in a purchase order will be manufactured and furnished in accordance
with all applicable provisions of the following laws and regulations issued
thereunder: FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938, as amended (29 USC 201),
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT OF 1970, as amended (15 USC 651), and the
CONSUMER PRODUCTS SAFETY ACT, as amended (15 USC 2051). Seller agrees to
indemnify, save, and hold harmless S-A, its officers, directors, employees,
agents, subsidiaries and affiliates from any and all losses, penalties, and
expense, including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from
Seller’s non-compliance with the laws and regulations identified above and all
other laws and regulations governing Seller’s conduct in reference to a purchase
order.

14.  Product Regulatory Compliance - Goods delivered to S-A hereunder will be
manufactured, labeled, certified and will perform in compliance with all
applicable laws, regulations, standards and/or codes specified by S-A and as in
effect for the goods intended use at the time of delivery. It shall be Seller’s
responsibility to secure and maintain any and all certifications required for
the goods purchased hereunder including goods privately labeled for S-A. In
order to ensure the relevant laws and regulations are satisfactorily met, Seller
agrees to: (a) Certify to S-A that the goods delivered hereunder are in
compliance with the S-A specified regulations, laws, standards and/or codes. (b)
Provide S-A and appropriate enforcement agencies with Manufacturer’s

15  U.S. Government Procurement Law - If a government contract number appears on
the face of a purchase order or if Seller is otherwise informed that a purchase
order is placed in aid of the performance of a contract with the United States
Government, or a subcontract of any tier thereunder, then a purchase order shall
be deemed to include all terms and conditions (hereinafter “Government Terms and
Conditions”) required by law, regulation, or by such Government contract or
subcontract to be included therein. The Government Terms and Conditions shall
prevail over any other terms and conditions of such purchase order that are
inconsistent with the Government Terms and Conditions. Upon request, S-A agrees
