          EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT,  made  and  entered  into  as of the 4th day of
February  2005  by  and  between  CONCURRENT  COMPUTER  CORPORATION,  a Delaware
corporation  ("Concurrent"  or  the "Company"), and John Welch (the "Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :
                              - - - - - - - - - - -

          WHEREAS,  the  Company desires to employ the Employee and the Employee
desires  to  accept  such  employment  with  the  Company;

          NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained  herein  and  for  other  good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree  as  follows:

     1.     Employment
            ----------

          The  Company  hereby  employs  the  Employee  and  the Employee hereby
accepts  employment  with the Company for the term set forth in Section 2 below,
in  the position and with the duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 3
below,  and  upon  other  terms  and  conditions  hereinafter  stated.

     2.     Term
            ----

          The term of employment hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and
shall  continue  until  otherwise  terminated  by  either  party  at any time in
accordance  with  the  terms  hereof.

     3.     Position;  Duties;  Responsibilities
            ------------------------------------

          3.1  It  is  intended  that at all times during the term of employment
hereunder,  the  Employee shall serve as Vice President - Research & Development
reporting to the Chief Operating Officer of the Company.  The Employee agrees to
perform such senior executive and managerial services customary to such position
as  are necessary to the operations of the Company and as may be assigned to him
from  time  to time by the Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer or
by  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  (the  "Board  of  Directors").

          3.2  Throughout  the  term of employment hereunder, the Employee shall
devote his full time and undivided attention during normal business hours to the
business  and affairs of the Company, as appropriate to his responsibilities and
duties  hereunder,  except  for  reasonable  vacations  and  illness  or  other
disability,  but  nothing  in  this  Agreement  shall preclude the Employee from
devoting  reasonable periods required for serving as a director or member of any
advisory committee of not more than two (at any time) "for profit" organizations
involving  no conflict of interest with the interests of the Company (subject to
approval  by  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  which  approval  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld), or from engaging in charitable and community activities,
or  from  managing  his  personal  investments,  provided such activities do not
materially  interfere  with  the  performance of his duties and responsibilities
under  this  Agreement.

     4.  Compensation
         ------------

          4.1     Salary
                  ------

               For  services  rendered  by  the  Employee  during  the  term  of
employment  hereunder,  the  Employee  shall  be paid a salary, payable in equal
biweekly  installments  (or,  if  different, payable in accordance with the then
existing  applicable  payroll  policy  of  the  Company,  but  in  no event less
frequently  than  equal  monthly  installments) at an annualized rate of no less
than  $215,000,  such  salary  to  be  reviewed  for increase annually with such
increases,  if  any,  as  shall  be  awarded taking into account such factors as
corporate  and  individual  performance  and  general  business  conditions.

          4.2     Annual  Bonus  Opportunity
                  --------------------------


                                                                               1
<PAGE>
               During  the  term  of  employment hereunder, the Employee will be
provided  an  annual  bonus  opportunity  in  a  target  amount  of  40% of base
compensation  (pro-rated based on the Employee's start date). The objectives for
each  year  and  other  terms  and  conditions of the bonus opportunity shall be
established  by  the  Chief Executive Officer and shall be reasonably consistent
with  the  business  plan  of  the Company for such year established in advance.

          4.3     Employee  Benefit  Plans
                  ------------------------

               During  the  term  of  employment hereunder, the Employee will be
eligible  to  participate in all employee benefit programs of the Company now or
hereafter made available to senior executives, in accordance with the provisions
thereof  as  in  effect  from time to time.  In any event, the Employee shall be
entitled  to  vacation  days at the rate of four weeks per calendar year or such
greater  amount  as  may  be provided by Company policies in effect from time to
time.

          4.4     Business  Expense  Reimbursements
                  ---------------------------------

               During  the  term  of  employment hereunder, the Employee will be
entitled  to  receive  reimbursement  by  the  Company  for  all  reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  by  him  (in accordance with the policies and
procedures  established  by  the  Company  for  its senior level executives), in
connection  with  his  performing  services  hereunder.

     5.     Consequences  of  Termination  of  Employment
            ---------------------------------------------

          5.1     Death
                  -----

               In  the  event  of  the  death of the Employee during the term of
employment  hereunder, the estate or other legal representatives of the Employee
shall  be entitled to continuation of the salary provided for in Section 4.1 for
a  period  of  6  months  from  the date of the Employee's death, at the rate in
effect  at  such  date.

          5.2     Continuing  Disability
                  ----------------------

               Notwithstanding  anything  in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company is hereby given the option to terminate the Employee's employment in the
event  of  the Employee's Continuing Disability.  Such option shall be exercised
by  the  Company  by giving notice to the Employee of the Company's intention to
terminate  his  employment due to Continuing Disability not earlier than 15 days
from  the  receipt  of  such  notice.

               In  the event of the termination of the Employee's employment due
to  Continuing  Disability,  the  Employee  shall be entitled to compensation in
accordance  with  the  terms  of  all  disability  plan(s) made available to the
Employee  in  which he is a participant at the time of such termination, if any;
provided,  however, that for a period of 6 months from such date of termination,
the  Employee  shall receive an amount at least equal to the salary provided for
in  Section 4.1 above, at the rate in effect at the time of such termination, to
the  extent  not  provided  under  any  such  disability plan.  Other rights and
benefits  under  employee  benefit plans and programs of the Company, generally,
will be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and
programs.

               For  purposes  hereof,  Continuing  Disability  shall  mean  the
inability  to  perform  the  essential  functions  connected with the Employee's
duties  hereunder,  with  or  without  reasonable accommodation, which inability
shall have existed for a period of 250 days, even though not consecutive, in any
24  month  period.   In  the  event the Employee does not agree with the Company
that  his  inability  may  reasonably  be expected to exist for such period, the
opinion  of  a  qualified medical doctor selected by the Employee and reasonably
satisfactory  to  the  Company  shall  be  determinative.

               If,  following  a  termination  of  employment  hereunder  due to
Continuing  Disability,  the  Employee becomes otherwise employed (whether as an
employee,  consultant  or  otherwise,  but  not solely as a member of a board of
directors),  any  salary  or  other  benefits earned by him from such employment
shall  be  offset against any disability compensation or salary continuation due
hereunder.


                                                                               2
<PAGE>
          5.3     Termination  by  the  Company  for  Due  Cause
                  ----------------------------------------------

               Nothing  herein  shall  prevent  the Company from terminating the
employment  of  the  Employee  for  Due  Cause.  The  Employee shall continue to
receive  salary  and any accrued and due bonus payments provided for herein only
through the period ending with the date of such termination and any other rights
and  benefits  he  may  have  under  employee  benefit plans and programs of the
Company,  generally,  shall  be  determined in accordance with the terms of such
plans  and  programs.  The term "Due Cause", as used herein, shall mean that (a)
the  Employee has committed a willful serious act, such as embezzlement, against
the Company intended to enrich himself at the expense of the Company or has been
convicted  of  a  felony  involving  moral turpitude or (b) the Employee has (i)
willfully  and  grossly  neglected  his  duties  hereunder or (ii) intentionally
failed  to  observe  specific  directives  or  policies  of Employee's immediate
superior, the Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors, which directives or
policies  were  consistent  with  his  positions,  duties  and  responsibilities
hereunder,  and  which  failure had, or continuing failure will have, a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company.  Prior  to any such termination, the Employee
shall  be  given  written notice by the Chief Executive Officer that the Company
intends  to terminate his employment for Due Cause under this Section 5.3, which
written  notice  shall  specify the particular acts or omissions on the basis of
which  the  Company  intends  to so terminate the Employee's employment, and the
Employee  (with  his  counsel, if he so chooses) shall be given the opportunity,
within  15  days of his receipt of such notice, to have a meeting with the Board
of  Directors  to  discuss  such  acts or omissions and given reasonable time to
remedy  the  situation, if it is deemed by the Board of Directors, in their good
faith  business  judgment,  to be remediable.  In the event of such termination,
the  Employee  shall  be  promptly  furnished written specification of the basis
therefore  in  reasonable  detail.

          5.4     Termination  by  the  Company  other  than  for  Due  Cause
                  -----------------------------------------------------------

               The  foregoing  notwithstanding,  the  Company  may terminate the
Employee's  employment  for  whatever  reason  it  deems  appropriate; provided,
however,  that in the event such termination is not based on death or disability
as  provided  in  Sections  5.1  or  5.2,  above, or on Due Cause as provided in
Section  5.3  above,  the  Employee  will  be  entitled  to  receive  Severance
Compensation  (as  defined  below).

               For  purposes  of  the  foregoing,  Severance  Compensation shall
consist  of  salary continuation for a period of six (6) months from the date of
termination  (the  "Salary  Continuation  Period"),  payable  in  equal biweekly
installments  (or,  if  different,  payable in accordance with the then existing
applicable  payroll  policy of the Company, but in no event less frequently than
equal  monthly  installments),  at  the  rate in effect, pursuant to Section 4.1
above,  immediately  prior  to  such  termination.

               During  the  period beginning with the Employee's termination and
continuing  through  the  Salary  Continuation  Period, the Company will use its
reasonable  best  efforts to continue the Employee's eligibility under its group
life  insurance,  hospitalization,  medical and dental plans. In order to obtain
such  benefits,  the  Employee  will  have  to  pay the amount that would be the
Employee's  responsibility if he were still employed.  To the extent Employee is
not  eligible  under  the  terms  of one or more of such plans and programs, the
Company  will  provide  the Employee with the economic equivalent for the Salary
Continuation  Period.  For  this  purpose,  "economic equivalent" shall mean the
cost  the  Employee  would  incur  if  he were to provide himself with a benefit
comparable  to  the  reduced  or  eliminated  benefit.  The  amount  paid to the
Employee  as  the  economic  equivalent,  less the amount of the premium payment
which  is  the  Employee's responsibility in accordance with the Company benefit
plan,  will  be  "grossed-up", if taxable (that is, the amount necessary to make
the  Employee  whole  after  taking into account (i) the cost of the benefit and
(ii)  additional  income taxes, if any, incurred by the Employee on amounts paid
to  him  pursuant  to  this  sentence).

               The  foregoing  notwithstanding,  upon  a  termination triggering
Severance  Compensation  payments  hereunder  the  Company  shall  be  under  no
obligation  to  continue  the Employee's coverage under any long term disability
plan  or  program;  and  the  date  of  such  termination  shall be considered a
termination  for  purposes  of participation in the Company's Retirement Savings
Plan.

               Except  as  specifically  set  forth  in  this  Section  5.4, the
Employee shall not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits following a
termination  of  employment  by  the  Company  as  provided in this Section 5.4.


                                                                               3
<PAGE>
          5.5     Constructive  Termination of Employment by the Company without
                  ---------------------------------------------- ---------------
          Due  Cause
          ----------

               Anything  herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company:

               (A)  demotes  or  otherwise  elects or appoints the Employee to a
lesser  office than set forth in Section 3.1 or fails to elect or appoint him to
such  position;

               (B)  causes  a  material  change  in  the  nature or scope of the
authorities,  powers,  functions,  duties  or  responsibilities  attached to the
Employee's  position  as  described  in  Section  3.1;

               (C)  decreases  the Employee's salary or annual bonus opportunity
below  the levels provided for by the terms of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (taking into
account  any  salary increases made from time to time in accordance with Section
4.1);

                    (D)  materially reduces the Employee's benefits under any
employee benefit plan, program, or arrangement of the Company (other than a
change that affects all employees similarly situated) from the level in effect
upon the Employee's commencement of participation; or

               (F)  commits  any  other  material  breach  of  this  Agreement,

then such action (or inaction) by the Company, unless consented to in writing by
the Employee, shall constitute a termination of the Employee's employment by the
Company  other  than  for  Due  Cause pursuant to Section 5.4 above.  If, within
thirty  (30)  days of learning of the action (or inaction) described herein as a
basis  for a constructive termination of employment, the Employee (unless he has
given written consent thereto) notifies the Company in writing that he wishes to
effect  a  constructive  termination  of his employment pursuant to this Section
5.5,  and such action (or inaction) is not reversed or otherwise remedied by the
Company  within 30 days following receipt by the Company of such written notice,
then  effective  at  the end of such second 30 day period, the employment of the
Employee  hereunder  shall  be deemed to have terminated pursuant to Section 5.4
above.


          5.6     Voluntary  Termination  by  Employee
                  ------------------------------------

               In  the  event  the Employee terminates his employment of his own
volition  (other  than as provided in Section 5.5 above), such termination shall
constitute  a  voluntary  termination  and  in  such event the Employee shall be
limited  to  the  same  rights  and  benefits  as  provided  in  connection with
termination  for  Due Cause under the second sentence of Section 5.3 above.  For
the  purposes  hereof,  a  decision  by the Employee to voluntarily retire shall
constitute  a  voluntary  termination.

     6.     Protective  Agreement
            ---------------------

               Employee  agrees  that,  following  any termination of employment
with  Company,  Employee  will  not,  directly  or  indirectly,  for  the Salary
Continuation  Period,  plus  one (1) year, (a) engage in or provide any services
substantially  similar  to the services that Employee provided to the Company at
any  time  during  the last twelve (12) months of Employee's employment to or on
behalf  of  any  person or entity offering products or services competitive with
the  Company Business (defined below) anywhere in the continental United States.
The  Employee  acknowledges  and  agrees  the  continental  United States is the
primary  geographic area in which the Company competes in its business and thus,
by  virtue of Employee's senior executive position and responsibilities with the
Company,  also  the  primary  geographic  area of Employee's employment with the
Company.    "Business"  means  the sale of products and services that enable (1)
broadband  providers  to  stream  video  to  customers, and (2) high performance
computing  designed  to  acquire,  process,  store,  analyze,  and display large
amounts  of  rapidly  changing  information with microsecond response as changes
occur.

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


                                                                               4
<PAGE>
               This  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company or any corporation or other entity to which the Company may transfer
all  or  substantially  all its assets and business and to which the Company may
assign  this  Agreement,  in which case "Company" as used herein shall mean such
corporation  or  other  entity.

          7.2     Assignment  by  the  Employee
                  -----------------------------

               The  Employee  may  not assign this Agreement or any part thereof
without  the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld
by  the  Company for any reason it deems appropriate; provided, however, nothing
herein shall preclude the Employee from designating one or more beneficiaries to
receive  any  amount  that  may be payable following the occurrence of his legal
incompetency or his death and shall not preclude the legal representative of his
estate  from  assigning  any  right  hereunder to the person or persons entitled
thereto  under  his  will or, in the case of intestacy, to the person or persons
entitled thereto under the laws of intestacy applicable to his estate.  The term
"beneficiaries",  as  used  in  this  Agreement,  shall  mean  a  beneficiary or
beneficiaries  so designated to receive any such amount or if no beneficiary has
been so designated the legal representative of the Employee (in the event of his
incompetency)  or  the  Employee's  estate.

     8.     Arbitration
            -----------

          Any  dispute  or  controversy  arising  out of, in connection with, or
relating  to  this  Agreement or the Employee's employment by the Company or its
termination  shall  be settled exclusively by arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia by
one  arbitrator  in  accordance  with  the  employment  arbitration rules of the
American  Arbitration  Association  then in effect; provided, however, that this
arbitration agreement shall not preclude the Company from seeking to enforce the
Protective  Agreement  in  any court of competent jurisdiction without resort to
arbitration.  The  arbitrator's  award  may  include the manner in which fees of
counsel  and other expenses in connection with the dispute or controversy are to
be borne by the parties.  The arbitrator's authority and jurisdiction is limited
to  interpreting  and  applying the express provisions of this Agreement and the
arbitrator  shall  not  have  the authority to alter or add to the provisions of
this  Agreement.  Judgment  may  be  entered  upon the arbitrator's award in any
court  of  competent  jurisdiction.

Employee's Initials_______________   Company's Initials_________________________

As a condition precedent to any arbitration hereunder, prior to the commencement
of any formal arbitration proceeding, the parties shall participate in a one-day
mediation  session in an attempt to amicably resolve the disagreement that is to
be  the  subject  matter  of  the  arbitration  proceeding.

     9.     Governing  Law
            --------------

provided  in  the  Agreement,  no  waiver  by  any party hereto of any breach by
another  party  hereto  of  any  condition  or  provision of the Agreement to be
performed  by  such  other  party  shall  be  deemed  a  waiver  of a similar or
dissimilar  provision  or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time.
