Notwithstanding any provision of the Source Code              -----------------                                                  License, ETI shall not be required to honour any product warranty or intellectual property indemnity set forth in the Source Code License, to the extent that such breach of warranty or indemnity relates to a defect in any of the Entrust Products as of the Effective Date or the infringement or misappropriation of any third party rights incorporated into the Entrust Products as of the Effective Date.

   (ii)   such designs, specifications and working drawings are in sufficient           detail that no additional design by the manufacturer is required other           than adaptation to the production processes and standards normally           used by the manufacturer which change the characteristics of the           products only to a negligible extent;

                                       6

  (c) to make and have made, to use and have used, and to maintain machines,     tools, materials and other manufacturing instrumentalities, and to use and     have used methods and processes, insofar as such machines, tools, materials,     other manufacturing instrumentalities, methods and processes are involved in     or incidental to the development, manufacture, installation, testing,     maintenance or repair of Licensed Products, or to the training of personnel     in the use of such Licensed Products; provided, however, that the rights     granted in this Section 6.03(c) shall not serve to enlarge the scope of the     rights granted in Section 6.03(b);

Section 6.04. Limitations to Patent Licenses.  Nothing contained in a Patent               --------------------------------                               License shall be construed as:

    (a) requiring the filing of any application for a Patent or utility model,





or the prosecution, maintenance or defense of any such application;

    (b) the maintenance or defense of any Patent;

    (c) a warranty or representation by Grantor, or admission by Grantee, as to the validity or scope of any Patent;

    (d) a warranty or representation that any manufacture, sale, lease, use, or importation of a Licensed Product, or the provision of any Licensed Service, by Grantee shall be free from infringement of any intellectual property right of Grantor other than those Patents under which and to the extent to which licenses are in force under the Patent License;

    (e) an agreement to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement;

                                       7

      (i) an obligation upon grantor to make any determination as to the applicability of any Patent to any product, Licensed Product or Licensed Service of Grantee.

Section 6.06 NTL Right to Cross-License.  The licenses granted hereunder do not              ---------------------------                                        include for the Grantee the right to grant sublicenses to any third party except as expressly provide in Section 6.03.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, NTL shall be entitled to sublicense the Entrust Patents to meet its obligations under its existing Patent cross license agreements.  For so long as ETI is an NTL Subsidiary, NTL shall also be entitled, as part of its continuing Patent cross licensing program, to sublicense Entrust Patents under new Patent cross license agreements provided that the rights granted in the Entrust Patents pursuant to any such new Patent cross license agreements do not materially exceed those rights customarily granted under NTL's existing Patent cross license agreements (as of the Effective Date) and ETI obtains the benefit of all Nortel Patents involved.

Section 6.07. Excluded Patents.               -----------------

(a) Assigned Patents.  It is recognized that Grantor may have entered into or     -----------------                                                             may hereafter enter into a contract with, or a subcontract directly for the     benefit of, a third party to undertake development work partially or     completely financed by such third party and that Grantor may be required     under such contract or subcontract (either unconditionally or by reason of     any action or inaction thereunder) to assign to such third party its rights     to grant, or may now or hereafter be restrained by such third party from     granting, licenses to Grantee under Patents arising out of such work or     covered by such contract or subcontract.  The resulting inability of Grantor     to grant the licenses purported to be granted by it under such Patents shall     not be considered to be a breach of the Patent License.  In such case, upon     request by the Grantee, Grantor shall make reasonable efforts to secure     rights and licenses for the Grantee from the third-party equivalent to those     provided in the Patent License.

(b) Patents Subject to Exclusive Licenses.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Patent License     shall terminate immediately upon ETI ceasing to be a Subsidiary of NTL.

(b) Subject to the other sections of this Article VI, any termination of the     licenses and rights granted to one Party and its Subsidiaries under the     Patent License shall not affect the licenses and rights granted to the other     Party and its Subsidiaries.

         1.1      Throughout this Agreement, and unless the context otherwise                   requires, the terms shown on Exhibit A (whether or not                   capitalized) shall have the meanings there specified. If other                   terms are defined in the text of this Agreement, then                   throughout this Agreement, those terms shall have the meanings                   respectively ascribed to them.

2.       OFFICE SPACE

         2.1      During the term of this Agreement, LKPL will provide                   Axiometric with a license to use office space in LKPL's                   corporate facility in Columbia, Maryland, free of charge.

         2.2      LKPL will allow Axiometric to use enough office space for two                   individuals and associated equipment in locations convenient                   for LKPL's purposes for as long as that space is available and                   not needed by LKPL for its own purposes. Axiometric will have                   access to LKPL's telephone system, internet connections,                   conference room, and printers.

         2.3      If LKPL requires space used by Axiometric for LKPL's own                   purposes, then LKPL will attempt in good faith but without                   having any obligation to continue to provide Axiometric with                   comparable space. If LKPL deems itself unable to continue to                   provide Axiometric work space without expanding LKPL's                   facilities, and if LKPL determines it will be in its own best                   interests to expand its facilities, then LKPL will afford                   Axiometric the opportunity to lease space in the new                   facilities under a mutually acceptable separate commercial                   rental agreement. If Axiometric does not then wish to rent                   office space from LKPL, then LKPL may terminate Axiometric's                   license to use work space in LKPL's facility upon 60 days                   notice.

         2.4      Axiometric shall be solely responsible for providing all                   equipment, furniture, supplies and other personal property                   that Axiometric deems appropriate to operate its business.                   LKPL will have no obligation to provide any special facilities                   or infrastructure unless otherwise negotiated.

         2.5      LKPL will have no liability whatsoever for any of Axiometric's                   equipment, furniture, supplies or other personal property;                   Axiometric will use the space at its sole risk.

         2.6      Axiometric will have the right to terminate the license to use                   the office space and to move out of the office space at any                   time upon two weeks notice.

         2.7      Axiometric must at all times use the office space strictly in                   accordance with terms and conditions stated in LKPL's lease                   for the space.

         2.8      Axiometric must indemnify and hold LKPL and its officers,                   directors, stockholders, agents, contractors, employees and                   guests (collectively, the Indemnified Parties) harmless from                   and against any and all Loss that the Indemnified Parties may                   incur arising from or relating to Axiometric use of the office                   space, including but not limited to any Loss suffered by the                   Indemnified Parties as a result of any negligent acts or                   omissions of Axiometric, its employees, agents, contractors                   and representatives, or anyone else working under Axiometric                   or in the office with the permission of Axiometric.

3.       AUTOMATIC METER READING

         Axiometric and LKPL agree to jointly pursue accessing and commercially          penetrating the AMR market by developing a suite of qualified and          commercially marketable product suites for that market, marketing and          selling that suite of products. The following shall be the general          roles and responsibilities of the two companies with respect to AMR          efforts:

         3.1      AMR Products

                  3.1.1    Water Meter Development: Axiometric and LKPL are                            jointly developing an AMR product for remote reading                            of residential water utility meters (hereafter the                            Water Meter). The Water Meter is a hardware device                            with integral software. The software includes, under                            license, the Axiometric wireless mesh networking                            intellectual property. The Water Meter is capable of                            interfacing with a variety of water meter registers,                            recording water usage, logging various exceptional                            conditions, and reporting them via a radio link. The                            Water Meter is also capable of forming a mesh network                            with other Water Meters to extend the radio reporting                            range using the aforementioned Axiometric mesh                            networking intellectual property. The Water Meter                            software and hardware are based on existing                            Axiometric electric meter AMR hardware and software                            products; joint ownership of the Water Meter does not                            convey joint ownership of those existing products or                            of the mesh networking intellectual property.

                           New software and hardware designs and intellectual                            property developed in the course of the Water Meter                            development are jointly owned; specifically, the                            algorithms used to collect data directly from a Water                            Meter using a point-to-point link (drive-by data                            collection), the specific hardware designs related to                            water register interface, battery power management,                            and other intellectual property specifically

                           described and mutually agreed in writing as                            amendments to this Agreement. Joint ownership conveys                            to each party individually the right to use, sell,                            modify, and create derived works from said                            intellectual property, as well as the right to                            sub-license these rights to others.

                  3.1.2    Energy AMR Product Suite: Axiometric has developed an                            AMR product suite for use in energy (electric)                            metering consisting of a meter insert for interfacing                            to energy meters, recording usage and exceptional                            conditions, and transmitting the information via                            radio to a central collector. Axiometric has also                            developed mesh networking intellectual property to                            allow the meter inserts to relay information from                            insert to insert thus extending the range and                            reliability of such information transmissions.                            Axiometric has also developed a central collection                            unit (hereafter Mesh Controller or Gateway) capable                            of collecting usage and other information from a                            large number of meter inserts and relaying that                            information onto another communications medium                            (radio, GSM, etc.) for delivery to a processing                            system. Axiometric has also developed processing                            software for recording the collected data to a                            database, presenting

                           and managing that information, and exporting the data                            to other processing systems.  This collection of                            products forms an energy metering (electric) AMR                            Product Suite that is owned by Axiometric.

                  3.1.3    Axiometric and LKPL may develop other AMR Product                            Suites (e.g. for gas metering) and ownership of those                            AMR Product Suites will be held individually by the                            developer of the suite or jointly if mutually agreed                            to in writing.

         3.2      Marketing and Sales: Regardless of ownership and in order to                   coordinate marketing and prevent overlap and confusion by                   customers and potential customers, all sales and marketing                   shall be conducted as follows:

                  3.2.1    Axiometric shall have the exclusive right to market                            and sell AMR Product Suites to entities whose                            corporate headquarters are physically located in the                            United States and U.S. territories with the exception                            of Datamatic as defined in 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 below

                           a.       Each party will provide to the other a                                     quarterly report (in hard copy and                                     electronic copy (if applicable)) showing the                                     AMR Product Suite sales including the Gross                                     Proceeds and the Production Costs.

                           b.       Each party shall have the right to conduct                                     an audit after the end of each calendar year                                     to verify the accuracy of the other party's                                     quarterly reports for that year, provided                                     the audit must be initiated no later than                                     June 30th of each year, and that if no such                                     audit is conducted, then the quarterly                                     reports for that year will be deemed                                     accurate.

                           c.       In the event a Payee's audit shows that the                                     Gross Proceeds or Production Costs of the                                     Payor resulted in an under-payment to the                                     Payee, then the Payor shall have the right,                                     at the Payor's cost, to have its own auditor                                     verify the Payee's audit. If the Payor audit                                     confirms the report of the Payee's auditor,                                     then the Payor will pay the deficiency                                     within fifteen (15) days from the time Payee                                     invoices for the deficiency.

The purpose and intent of this strategic alliance is to combine the resources and talents of, TKCI and SIC, in order to take advantage of every opportunity permitted by tribal sovereignty to create revenue streams in multiple areas in conjunction with operating partners that have existing marketing and customers in place, thereby limiting the capital requirements and risk.

The structure may also be used for additional compatible acquisitions which will also fuel growth.
