Subject to early termination for material default, such Reseller Agreement shall expire either in three years or when ETI ceases to be a Subsidiary of NTL, whichever event occurs later.

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.

    (i)   the designs, specifications and working drawings for the manufacture            of such Licensed Products are furnished by Grantee; and

   (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;

    (f) an obligation to provide any manufacturing or technical information or any support or technical assistance;

                                       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.  ETI acknowledges that NTL may have     --------------------------------------                                         entered into exclusive license arrangements with other corporations or legal     entities.  The Patent License granted hereunder by NTL does not extend the     scope of any such exclusive licenses (including any which NTL is negotiating     as of the Effective Date).

Notwithstanding that such rights or such consent may be subject to the payment of a royalty or other consideration to any such third party as provided for in Section 6.09, and notwithstanding other conditions agreed with the third party, the grant of such licenses and rights shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Patent License.

Section 6.10. Patent Information.  Each Party shall, upon written request from               -------------------                                              the other Party sufficiently identifying any Patent by country, number and date of issuance, inform such other Party of the extent to which any such Patent is available for licensing under the Patent License.  If the license or rights under any such Patent are restricted in scope, or are subject to payments according to Section 6.09, a statement of the nature of any such restrictions or payments shall, on request, be provided within a reasonable time.

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.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11, the Patent     Licenses shall, for the patents owned or by a party, terminate as provided     for in Section 6.11(a) or ten years from the Effective Date, whichever is     later.

WHEREAS, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the Nominating Committee) and the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) have considered the qualifications of the ValueAct Designee and conducted such review as they have deemed appropriate.

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to appoint the ValueAct Designee on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
