It is not easy to explain, because depending on the deal profile, any one of the following could be prime contractor :
- the software product company
- the hardware vendor
- a potential 3rd party integration company

Bottom line, usually is : "who amongst the above 3 is willing to take the risk, and able to convince the customer/prospect, that they are bankrolled adequately to be able to pay for failure to deliver".

whoever takes on the prime contractor role, runs the risk of not meeting #s for that project, for any number of reasons. which goes back to my original comment : "if the project is successful, the money WILL come in". (long as we dont dump the stock on a quarterly basis, things would work out right in the long term, for a company with a successful track record).

cheers, kumar
