                                       TO
                          LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

     This  FORBEARANCE  to  Loan  and Security Agreement (this "Forbearance") is
entered  into  this 11th day of August, 2006, by and between SILICON VALLEY BANK
("Bank")  and  CONCURRENT  COMPUTER  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Borrower")  whose  address is 4375 River Green Parkway, Duluth, Georgia 30096.

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security
Agreement  dated  as of December 23, 2004 (as the same has been or may from time
to  time  be  amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "Loan Agreement")
pursuant  to  which  Bank  has  extended  credit  to  Borrower  for the purposes
permitted  in  the  Loan  Agreement;  and

     WHEREAS, Borrower is currently in default of the Loan Agreement for failing
to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.2(c) of the Loan Agreement as
of  June  30,  2006  (the  "Existing  Default");  and

     WHEREAS,  Borrower  has  requested  that  Bank  forbear from exercising its
rights  and remedies against Borrower from the date hereof through September 15,
2006 (the "Forbearance Period") in order to allow the parties sufficient time to
negotiate  an  amendment  to  the  Loan  Agreement  to restructure the financial
covenants on mutually acceptable terms, which amendment is expected to include a
waiver  with  respect  to  the  Existing  Default;  and

     WHEREAS,  although Bank is under no obligation to do so, Bank is willing to
forbear  from  exercising  its  rights and remedies against Borrower through the
Forbearance Period on the terms and conditions set forth in this Forbearance, so
long  as Borrower complies with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in
this  Forbearance  in  a  timely  manner;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good
and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  adequacy  of  which  is hereby
acknowledged,  and  intending  to  be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     1.   DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized  terms  used  but  not  defined  in  this
Forbearance  shall  have  the  meanings  given  to  them  in the Loan Agreement.

     2.   FORBEARANCE.

          2.1  FORBEARANCE  PERIOD.  So  long as no Event of Default, other than
the  Existing  Default,  occurs,  subject  to the terms and conditions set forth
herein,  Bank  shall  forbear  from  filing  any  legal action or instituting or
enforcing  any  rights  and  remedies  it  may have against Borrower through the
Forbearance  Period.  Except as expressly provided herein, this Forbearance does
not constitute a waiver or release by Bank of any Obligations or of any existing
Event  of  Default other than the Existing Default or Event of Default which may
arise  in  the  future  after  the  date  of  execution of this Forbearance.  If
Borrower  does not comply with the terms of this Forbearance, Bank shall have no
further obligations under this Forbearance and shall be permitted to exercise at
such  time  any  rights and remedies against Borrower as it deems appropriate in
its  sole  and  absolute discretion.  Borrower understands that Bank has made no
commitment  and  is  under  no  obligation  whatsoever  to  grant any additional
extensions of time at the end of the Forbearance Period, irrespective of whether
an amendment to the Loan Agreement has been entered into prior to the end of the
Forbearance  Period.

<PAGE>
          2.2  FORBEARANCE  TERMS.  During  the  Forbearance  Period,  Borrower
agrees  to  deliver to Bank, on or before September 1, 2006, a revised operating
budget (including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements, by
quarter) for the remainder of Borrower's 2007 fiscal year.  Borrower agrees that
the  failure  to  deliver  such  revised budget by such date shall constitute an
immediate  Event of Default and shall entitled Bank to terminate the Forbearance
Period  without  notice  to  Borrower.

     3.   LIMITATION  OF  FORBEARANCE.

          3.1  This  Forbearance  is effective for the purposes set forth herein
and  shall  be  limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a
consent  to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or condition
of  any Loan Document, or (b) otherwise prejudice any right or remedy which Bank
may  now  have  or  may  have in the future under or in connection with any Loan
Document.

          3.2  This  Forbearance  shall  be  construed in connection with and as
part  of  the  Loan  Documents  and  all  terms,  conditions,  representations,
warranties,  covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents are hereby
ratified  and  confirmed  and  shall  remain  in  full  force  and  effect.

     4.   REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES.  To  induce  Bank to enter into this
Forbearance,  Borrower  hereby  represents  and  warrants  to  Bank  as follows:

          4.1  Immediately  after  giving  effect  to  this  Forbearance (a) the
representations  and  warranties  contained  in  the  Loan  Documents  are true,
accurate  and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof (except to
the  extent  such  representations  and warranties relate to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct as of such date and excluding therefrom the
effect  of  the  Existing  Default),  and (b) no Event of Default other than the
Existing  Default  has  occurred  and  is  continuing;

          4.2  Borrower  has the power and authority to execute and deliver this
Forbearance  and  to  perform  its  obligations  under  the  Loan  Agreement;

          4.3  The organizational documents of Borrower delivered to Bank on the
Closing  Date  remain  true,  accurate  and  complete and have not been amended,
supplemented  or  restated  and are and continue to be in full force and effect;

          4.4  The  execution  and  delivery by Borrower of this Forbearance and
the  performance  by  Borrower  of its obligations under the Loan Agreement have
been  duly  authorized  by  all  necessary  action  on  the  part  of  Borrower;

          4.5  The execution and delivery by Borrower of  this  Forbearance  and
the  performance  by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Agreement do not
and  will  not  contravene  (a)  any  law  or regulation binding on or affecting
Borrower, (b) any contractual restriction with a Person binding on Borrower, (c)
any  order, judgment or decree of any court or other governmental or public body
or  authority,  or  subdivision  thereof,  binding  on  Borrower,  or  (d)  the
organizational  documents  of  Borrower;

          4.6  The  execution  and  delivery by Borrower of this Forbearance and
the  performance  by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Agreement do not
require  any  order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of,
or  filing,  recording or registration with, or exemption by any governmental or
public  body  or  authority, or subdivision thereof, binding on either Borrower,
except  as  already  has  been  obtained  or  made;  and

                                        2
<PAGE>
          4.7  This Forbearance has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower
and  is  the  binding  obligation  of  Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in
accordance  with  its  terms,  except  as  such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium or other similar
laws  of  general  application and equitable principles relating to or affecting
creditors'  rights.

     5.   PRIOR  AGREEMENT.  The  Loan  Documents  are  hereby  ratified  and
reaffirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.  This Forbearance is not a
novation  and  the terms and conditions of this Forbearance shall be in addition
to and supplemental to all terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents.
In  the  event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Forbearance and the
terms of such documents, the terms of this Forbearance shall be controlling, but
such  document  shall  not otherwise be affected or the rights therein impaired.

     6.   RELEASE  BY  BORROWER.

          6.1  FOR  GOOD  AND  VALUABLE  CONSIDERATION,  Borrower hereby forever
relieves,  releases,  and  discharges  Bank and its present or former employees,
officers,  directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, and each of them, from
any  and  all  claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts,
agreements,  costs  and  expenses,  actions and causes of action, of every type,
kind,  nature,  description  or  character whatsoever, whether known or unknown,
suspected  or  unsuspected,  absolute  or  contingent,  arising out of or in any
manner  whatsoever  connected  with  or related to facts, circumstances, issues,
controversies  or  claims existing or arising from the beginning of time through
and  including the date of execution of this Forbearance (collectively "RELEASED
CLAIMS").  Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Claims shall include any
and  all  liabilities  or  claims  arising  out  of  or in any manner whatsoever
connected  with  or  related  to  the  Loan  Documents, the Recitals hereto, any
instruments,  agreements  or  documents  executed  in connection with any of the
foregoing  or  the  origination,  negotiation,  administration, servicing and/or
enforcement  of  any  of  the  foregoing.

          6.2  In  furtherance  of this release, Borrower expressly acknowledges
and  waives  any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code,
which  provides  as  follows:

          "A  GENERAL  RELEASE  does  not  extend  to claims which the
          creditor  does  not  know or expect to exist in his favor at
          the  time  of  executing  the release, which if known by him
          must  have  materially  affected  his  settlement  with  the
          debtor."  (Emphasis  added.)

          6.3  By  entering into this release, Borrower recognizes that no facts
or  representations  are  ever  absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover
facts  in  addition  to  or  different  from  those  which it presently knows or
believes  to  be true, but that it is the intention of Borrower hereby to fully,
finally  and  forever  settle and release all matters, disputes and differences,
known  or  unknown,  suspected  or  unsuspected; accordingly, if Borrower should
subsequently  discover  that  any fact that it relied upon in entering into this
release  was  untrue,  or  that  any  understanding  of the facts was incorrect,
Borrower  shall  not  be  entitled  to set aside this release by reason thereof,
regardless  of  any  claim  of mistake of fact or law or any other circumstances
whatsoever.  Borrower  acknowledges  that  it  is  not  relying upon and has not
relied  upon  any  representation  or statement made by Bank with respect to the
facts  underlying  this  release or with regard to any of such party's rights or
asserted  rights.

          6.4  This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and/or
as  a  cross-complaint  or  counterclaim  against  any  action,  suit,  or other
proceeding  that  may  be  instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of this
release.  Borrower  acknowledges that the release contained herein constitutes a
material  inducement  to  Bank  to  enter  into  this

                                        3
<PAGE>
Forbearance,  and  that  Bank  would not have done so but for Bank's expectation
that  such  release  is  valid  and  enforceable  in  all  events.

          6.5  Borrower  hereby  represents  and  warrants  to Bank, and Bank is
relying  thereon,  as  follows:

               (a)  Except as expressly stated in this Forbearance, neither Bank
nor  any  agent,  employee  or  representative of Bank has made any statement or
representation  to  Borrower  regarding  any  fact  relied  upon  by Borrower in
entering  into  this  Forbearance.

               (b)  Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining
to  this  Forbearance  and  all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems
necessary.

               (c)  The terms of this Forbearance are contractual and not a mere
recital.

               (d)  This  Forbearance  has  been carefully read by Borrower, the
contents  hereof  are  known and understood by Borrower, and this Forbearance is
signed  freely,  and  without  duress,  by  Borrower.

               (e)  Borrower  represents  and  warrants  that it is the sole and
lawful  owner  of  all right, title and interest in and to every claim and every
other  matter  which it releases herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned
or  transferred,  or  purported  to  assign  or transfer, to any person, firm or
entity  any  claims  or other matters herein released.  Borrower shall indemnify
Bank,  defend  and  hold  it  harmless from and against all claims based upon or
arising  in  connection  with  prior  assignments  or  purported  assignments or
transfers  of  any  claims  or  matters  released  herein.

     7.   COUNTERPARTS.  This  Forbearance  may  be  executed  in  any number of
counterparts  and  all  of  such  counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute  one  and  the  same  instrument.

     8.   EFFECTIVENESS.  This  Forbearance  shall  be deemed effective upon (a)
the due execution and delivery to Bank of this Forbearance by each party hereto,
(b)  Borrower's  payment  of a forbearance fee in an amount equal to $3,500, and
(c)  Bank's  receipt  of  the Acknowledgment of Forbearance and Reaffirmation of
Guarantors  substantially  in  the  form  attached  hereto  as  Schedule 1, duly
executed  and  delivered  by  each  Guarantor,.

     9.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Forbearance and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the  State  of  Georgia.

                            [Signature page follows.]

        per
        annum which shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of (a) the Maximum

      1.    Definitions.
        When used in this Note, the following terms shall have the respective meanings
        specified herein or in the Section referred to:

      

      “Business

        Texas.

        Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of a sufficient number of
        shares
        of all classes of stock then outstanding of Maker entitled to vote in the
        election of directors, empowering such “person” or “group” to elect a majority
        of Maker’s Board of Directors, who did not have such power before such
        transaction, a tender offer is announced for the Company’s equity securities, or
        a sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets.

      

      “Contingent

        agreement, or other agreement or arrangement designated to protect a Person

        include endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of
        business. The amount of any Contingent Obligation shall be deemed to be an
        amount equal to the stated or determined amount of the primary obligation

        determinable, the maximum reasonably anticipated liability in respect thereof

        the holder hereof may, at its option, (i) declare the entire unpaid balance
        of principal and accrued interest of the Obligation to be immediately due
        and
        payable without presentment or notice of any kind which Maker waives pursuant
        to
        Section 3 herein, (ii) trigger the prepayment fee referred to Section 2(b)
        above, (iii) reduce any claim to judgment, and/or (iv) pursue and enforce
        any of
        Payee’s rights and remedies available pursuant to any applicable law or
        agreement; provided, however, in the case of any Event of Default specified
        in
        (v) or (vi) of Section 6(a) above with respect to Maker, without any notice
        to
        Maker or any other act by Payee, principal of and interest accrued on this
        Note
        shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
        or
        other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Maker.

      

      7.    Usury
        Laws. Regardless of any provisions contained in this Note, the Payee shall
        never
        be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply
        as
        interest on the Note, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the
        event Payee ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess,
        such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
        of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and, if the principal balance
        of
        this Note is paid in full, then any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid
        to
        Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any
        specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Maker and Payee shall,
        to
        the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any
        non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated
        as
        interest payments hereunder) as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than
        as
        interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c)
        spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term
        of
        this Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such
        term.

      

      8.    Costs.
        If
        this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it
        is
        collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy,
        receivership or other court proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all costs of
        collection, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees, including all costs of appeal.

      

      9.    Notices.
        Any notice that may be given by either Maker or Payee shall be in writing
        and
        shall be deemed given upon the earlier of the time of receipt thereof by
        the
