                 hereunder, and shall ensure that the Product shall be, in
                 strict accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
                 laws and regulations and in accordance with the highest
                 commercial standards.

            3.5  Replacement Product. Unless Thomson elects to designate a third
                 party manufacturer or to manufacture the Product itself under
                 Section 4.1 below, DPI shall provide to Thomson the
                 opportunity, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement,
                 to purchase such quantities of Products from DPI as Thomson
                 reasonably anticipates may be required to replace defective
                 Products for a period of seven (7) years after expiration of
                 this Agreement.

            3.6  Thomson Trademarks. DPI shall apply Thomson trademarks and
                 logos to the Product and packaging in accordance with Thomson
                 specifications, all as reasonably acceptable to DPI.

            3.7  Recalls. If at any time a government agency orders Thomson to
                 conduct a product safety recall or a field fix program with
                 respect to the Product, or Thomson undertakes, with DPI's
                 consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, a product safety
                 recall or field fix program, Thomson will notify DPI within
                 thirty (30) days. DPI shall (1) repair or replace defective
                 Product units or, at Thomson's option, credit Thomson's
                 account, and (2) reimburse Thomson for Thomson's documented
                 reasonable and necessary expenses, including labor, materials
                 and shipping expenses, in conducting such product safety recall
                 or field fix program.

Section 4: Product Manufacturer.

            4.1  Selection of Manufacturer. Until the completion of the initial
                 term, the Product shall be manufactured by DPI's contract
                 manufacturer, or by such other third party manufacturer as may
                 be mutually acceptable to DPI and Thomson. From and after the
                 completion of the Initial Term, Thomson may in its discretion
                 designate a third party manufacturer for the Product or may
                 manufacture the Product on its own behalf. In addition, from
                 and after the completion of the Initial Term, at the request of
                 DPI, Thomson shall make the election referred to in the
                 immediately preceding sentence. In either event DPI shall use
                 its best efforts to facilitate an efficient transfer of the
                 manufacturing capability to such third party manufacturer or to
                 Thomson, as the case may be. The parties shall at that time
                 negotiate a mutually acceptable nonexclusive license of DPI's
                 intellectual property rights related to the Products necessary
                 for Thomson to manufacture or to have manufactured for it the
                 Products.

            4.2  Product Orders. Thomson shall order Product from time to time
                 by issuing a firm purchase order not less than ninety (90) days
                 in advance of the date that Thomson requires delivery of such
                 Product in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof. DPI shall
                 utilize the Thomson purchase orders as the basis for issuing
                 purchase orders to its manufacturer. Thomson shall issue to DPI
                 its forecast of Product purchases on a rolling six (6) month
                 basis, but such forecasts shall be estimates only and not
                 binding purchase commitments.

            4.3  Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss with respect to
                 the Products shall pass to Thomson when the Products are
                 delivered to a carrier designated by Thomson.

            4.4  Product Specifications. DPI and Thomson shall cooperate in all
                 reasonable respects with respect to the oversight and
                 instruction of any third party manufacturer of the Product.
                 Such third party manufacturer of the Product shall use the DPI
                 specifications attached hereto as such specifications may be
                 amended or supplemented from time to time. DPI shall provide
                 Thomson with the specifications and such other information
                 relating thereto as Thomson may reasonably request. DPI shall
                 [ILLEGIBLE] in advance, with Thomson prior to changing the
                 specifications, and in connection therewith Thomson shall have
                 the right to request changes to the specifications, with such
                 changes to be made with DPI's consent, which shall not be
                 unreasonably withheld.

Section 5: Patents, Trademarks or Trade Names

            5.1  Third Party Infringement. DPI will use commercially reasonable
                 efforts to prevent third parties from marketing and/or selling
                 in the Territory products incorporating or infringing DPI
                 patents.

            5.2  Trademarks. Product shall bear the "DPI Technologies" logo in a

                 have the exclusive right to use the DPI trademark and logo
                 during the term of this Agreement on the Product and to
                 advertise and promote the Product, except for DPI's use outside
                 the Territory. Thomson shall have the right to utilize the
                 "DPT", trademark in conjunction with other brad names owned or
                 licensed by Thomson except to be extent any such utilization
                 would violate any agreement under which Thomson licenses any
                 such brand names. Except as set forth in the preceding
                 sentences, without the express written consent of DPI, Thomson
                 may not use any DPI mark, trademark or tradenames. Any use of
                 or reference to any DPI mark, trademark or trade name by
                 Thomson shall inure solely to the benefit of DPI. Thomson shall
                 not apply for, maintain or acquire any United States or foreign
                 trademark relating to

                                       5
<PAGE>

                 the marketing or sale of the Product without the express
                 written consent of DPI which may be granted or withheld in
                 DPI's sole discretion. Thomson shall use commercially
                 reasonable efforts to inform DPI of any known infringement by
                 third parties of any DPI mark, trademark or trade name used by
                 Thomson pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the expiration or
                 termination of this Agreement, Thomson shall immediately cease
                 all and any use of all DPI marks, trademarks or trade names,
                 except that Thomson may continue to sue such marks, trademarks
                 or trade names solely in connection with the sale of Product in
                 Thomson's inventory at the time of such cancellation. Nothing
                 contained herein shall be construed in anyway to permit DPI to
                 use any of Thomson marks, trademark or trade name.

            5.3  Patents. Except as contemplated in Section 4.1 above, nothing
                 in this Agreement grants to either party any rights or licenses
                 under the other party's patents.

                 specified, DPI shall make reasonable arrangements at Thomson's
                 expense for shipment. All costs for insurance, handling,
                 special packaging or similar charges and all sales, use, excise

                 receipt by Thomson in Thomson's warehouse of such units. This
                 warranty does not extend to Thomson supplied components.

     the items which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by
     Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense furnished such work or service

17.A. or elsewhere in the Lease Landlord, at its option, may take all or any of
the following actions:

          (a) Landlord may cure for the account of Tenant any such default of
     Tenant and immediately recover as additional rent any reasonable
     expenditures made and the amount of any obligations incurred in connection
     therewith, plus per annum interest equal to four (4) point(s) above the
     prime rate of PNC Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (as the same may exist
     from time to time) ("Prime Rate") from the date of any such expenditure; or

          (b) Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this Lease and recover as
     a calculation of its lost profits, all Minimum Rent, additional rent and
     other rent which has accrued prior to the date of said default and which is
     due for the balance of the Term and declare the same to be immediately due
     and payable. It is agreed that in determining the amount of any future
     payments due Landlord of Tenant's OMC and Tenant's Tax Charge, Landlord may
     make such determination based upon the sum thereof for the fill year
     immediately prior to the event of default. The sum set forth above as
     aforesaid shall be discounted to present value at the then Prime Rate (the
     "Lost Profit Sum"). Contemporaneously with the demand for such Lost Profit
     Sum, this Lease shall be deemed terminated and Tenant shall immediately
     quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in accordance with (d) below.
     Tenant's liability for the payment of the Lost Profit Sum shall survive the
     termination of the Lease; or

          (c) Accelerate the whole or any part of the rent for the entire
     unexpired balance of the Term, as well as all other charges, payments,
     costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, and any rent or
     other charges, payments, costs and expenses if so accelerated shall, in
     addition to any and all installments of rent already due and payable and in
     arrears, and any other charge or payment herein reserved, included or
     agreed to be treated or collected as rent and any other charge; expense or
     cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant which may be due and payable and in
     arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and provisions of
     this Lease, such accelerated rent and other charges,

                                     - 33 -

<PAGE>

     payments, costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance. Such sum
     is hereinafter referred to as the "Accelerated Rent". For such purposes, to
     determine all items of the additional rent component of the Accelerated
     Rent, Landlord may make a determination based upon such sums for the full
     year immediately prior to the event of default, or otherwise in Landlord's
     reasonable judgement.

          (d) Landlord, at its option, may serve notice upon Tenant that this
     Lease and the then unexpired Term hereof shall cease and expire and become
     absolutely void on the date specified in such notice, to be no less than
     five (5) days after the date of such notice, without any right on the part
     of the Tenant thereafter to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due
     or by the performance of any term, provision, covenant, agreement or
     condition broken; and, thereupon and at the expiration of the time limit in
     such notice, this Lease and the Term hereof granted; as well as the right,
     title and interest of the Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire
     and become void in the same manner and with the. same force and effect
     (except as to Tenant's liability) as if the date fixed in such notice were
     the date herein stated for expiration of the Term. Thereupon, Tenant shall
     immediately quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises by summary
     proceedings, detainer, ejectment or otherwise and remove itself and all
     other occupants thereof and, at Landlord's option, any property thereon
     without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor. No
     such expiration or termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of this
     liability and obligations under this Lease, whether or not the Premises
     shall be relet, all of which shall survive such expiration or termination;
     or

          (e) Landlord may, at any time after the occurrence of any event of
     default, whether or not the Lease has been terminated as aforesaid,
     re-enter and repossess the Premises and any part thereof with or without
     process of law, provided no undue force shall be used, and shall have the
     option, but not the obligation either in its own name, as agent for Tenant
     if this Lease has not been terminated or for its own behalf if this Lease
     has been terminated, to relet all or any part of the Premises; provided
     that Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant
     or observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting. The
     failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof
     shall not release or affect Tenant's liability hereunder, nor shall
     Landlord be liable for failure to relet, or in the event of reletting, for
     failure to collect the rent thereof, and in no event shall Tenant be
     entitled to receive any excess of net rents collected over sums payable by
     Tenant to Landlord hereunder. No such re-entry or taking possession of the
     Premises shall be construed as an election on the Landlord's part to
     terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election by Landlord
     is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,
     Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any
     previous breach and default. For the purpose of such reletting,

                                     - 34 -

<PAGE>

     Landlord may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in
     or to the Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord desirable or
     convenient, and the cost of such decoration, repairs, changes, alterations
     or additions shall be charged to and payable by tenant as additional rent
     hereunder, as well as any reasonable brokerage and legal fees expended by
     Landlord; and any sums collected by Landlord from any new tenant obtained
     on account of the Tenant shall be credited against the balance of the rent
     due hereunder as aforesaid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly; on the
     days when the rent would have been payable under this Lease, the amount due
     hereunder less the amount obtained by Landlord from such new tenant, if

registers and other personal property of any kind or nature whatsoever at. any
time or from time to time within the Premises; whether owned by Tenant or others

well as thereafter subject to the lien of Landlord and distraint for any and all
Rent not paid when due, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord such lien on the
Subject Property and the right and remedy of distraint thereof together with the
right and remedy of "Self-Help" (hereinafter defined). Such lien of Landlord
shall be conclusively presumed to have been perfected and distraint of the
Subject Property to have occurred by and on the date of a written notice given
to Tenant pursuant to any provision of Section 17 hereof or a written notice
given to Tenant of the occurrence of an Event of Default (whichever written
notice is first given). The term "Self Help" means and shall be any action or

otherwise, the Subject Property. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and
empowers Landlord and any agent of and/or anyone else acting for Landlord to
exercise the right and remedy of Self-Help, Tenant agreeing that the exercise
thereof is absolutely privileged and shall not constitute a breach or default of
this Lease by Landlord or grounds for damages or other relief in favor of Tenant
or any one directly or indirectly claiming by, through or under Tenant and
Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, all agents
of and anyone else acting for Landlord, therefrom.

     (3) Landlord shall have the right of injunction (including, without
limitation, specific performance) in the event of an Event of Default or threat

conditions, covenants or terms hereof to restrain the same and the right to
invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity, whether or not other remedies,
indemnity or reimbursements are herein provided. The rights and remedies given
to Landlord in this Lease or at law or in equity are distinct, separate and
cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord,
shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other.

force, exempting any of Tenant's property on the Premises or elsewhere from
distraint, levy or sale in any legal proceedings taken by Landlord to enforce
any rights under this Lease. Tenant further waives the right of inquisition on
any real estate that may be levied upon to collect any amount which may become
