EXHIBIT 10.1

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$70,000.00 As of
June 30, 2005

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Bartram Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, with
principal office located at 215 West Main Street, Maple Shade, New Jersey,
08052, promises to pay in lawful money of the United States to DCI USA, Inc. a
Delaware Corporation, ("DCI") with principal offices located at 19 West 44th
Street New York, New York 10023 the principal sum of Seventy Thousand Dollars
($70,000.00) plus simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Said amount shall
be due and payable as follows:

      The term of this Note shall be 10 years with the entire principal and
      accrued interest due on June 30, 2015.

      The outstanding principal and accrued interest due hereunder may be
      prepaid by Bartram at any time after June 30, 2007, without penalty or
      premium.

      Payments of interest shall be made quarterly, with the first payment of
      interest due June 30, 2007 in the amount of $11,648 for the two years then
      ended. No payment of principal or interest may be made by Bartram prior to
      June 30, 2007. Thereafter, payments of interest shall be made on September
      30, December 30, March 30 and June 30.

      In lieu of cash, Bartram may repay the principal and/or interest by
      transferring shares of the common stock of DCI to DCI (including
      restricted stock) at an agreed value of $.225 per share. For example,
      assuming Bartram owes DCI $81,648 on June 30, 2007 for principal and
      accrued interest, Bartram could choose to pay the entire Note, including
      interest, by delivering to DCI 362,880 shares of DCI. If, pursuant to this
      example, Bartram chose to pay only outstanding interest, on June 30, 2007,
      then it would have the option to transfer 51,769 shares of DCI, in lieu of
      cash, in payment of the accrued interest. The market price for the DCI
      shares at the time of the transfer shall not affect the agreed-upon
      valuation of $.225 per share.

 In case one or more of the following events (each, an "Event of Default")
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred and be continuing:

a     default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of this
      Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
      the terms hereof or default in the payment of interest which default
      remains uncured for 30 days; or

b     Bartram pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law:

<PAGE>

(i)   commences a voluntary case or proceeding,

(ii)  consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
      case or proceeding,

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or
      substantially all of its property,

(iv)  makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

(v)   admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as the same become due;
      or

c a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
bankruptcy law that:

      (i) is for relief against Bartram in an involuntary case,

      (ii) appoints a custodian of Bartram or for all or substantially all of
      the property of Bartram, or

      (iii) orders the liquidation of Bartram, and such order or decree remains
      unstayed and in effect for 30 days;

      then, in each case where an Event of Default occurs, DCI, by notice in
      writing to Bartram (the "Acceleration Notice"), may, at its option,
      declare the outstanding principal hereunder to be due and payable
      immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
      immediately due and payable.

      No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to DCI is intended to
be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

      This Note shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law rules of
such state. The Bartram hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the courts sitting in New York,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in respect of actions brought against
it as a defendant, in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Note, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in
such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
The Bartram hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Note, or in any court referred to above. Bartram
further hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, suit
proceeding in any such court and waives any other right to which it may be
entitled on account of its place of residence or domicile.

      Bartram hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and
enforcement of this Note, except as specifically provided herein, and assent to
extensions of the time of payment, or forbearance or other indulgence without
notice.

<PAGE>

     Bartram shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees,
incurred or paid by the holder of this Note in attempting to collect funds due
under this Note. In the event an action is instituted for the collection of this
Note, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, at trial or on appeal,
such sums as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees, in addition to
costs and necessary disbursements.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Bartram has caused this Note to be duly executed as of
the date first set forth above.

      Re: TERM
        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED MAY 14, 2004 

      

      Dear
        Mr.
        Key, 

      

      This
        Letter refers to (i) that certain TERM
        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT NO. 912852522 DATED MAY 14,
        2004,
        between
        Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (“MLBFS”) and Aspect Systems,
        Inc. f/k/a Aspect Semiquip International, Inc. (“Customer”), including any
        previous amendments and extensions thereof (collectively the “Loan Agreement”),
        and (iii) all other agreements between MLBFS and Customer or any party who
        has
        guaranteed or provided collateral for Customer’s obligations to MLBFS, in
        connection therewith (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). Capitalized terms not
        otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan
        Documents. 

      

      Based
        on
        MLBFS’ review of the Customer’s June 30, 2005 financial statements, which
        Customer recently provided MLBFS, the Customer, as of the date of the financial
        statements, is in violation of the “Minimum Collateral Requirement” covenant
        required by the Loan Documents (the “Identified Defaults”). Under the terms of
        the Loan Documents, MLBFS has certain rights and remedies available to it
        with
        respect to the Identified Defaults. By execution below, the Customer
        acknowledges that it has been and continues to be in default of said covenant.
        Accordingly, the Customer has requested that MLBFS waive the Identified
        Defaults. MLBFS has agreed to do so, provided that Customer’s representations
        and warranties set forth herein are true and correct in all respects, and
        subject to the additional terms hereof. 

      

      MLBFS
        hereby agrees, as
        a
        one-time accommodation,
        to
        grant the waiver that the Customer has requested. Therefore, this letter
        shall
        serve to advise you that MLBFS has agreed to waive, for
        the period ending June 30, 2005 only,
        the
        Customer’s default of the “Minimum Collateral Requirement” covenant that is
        required by the Loan Agreement. 

      

      Customer
        and the other Obligors acknowledge that the waiver set forth above are limited
        precisely as written and except for the waiver of the Defaults described
        above
        for the dates specified, all other terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement
        and all other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and nothing
        contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any future Default.
        

      

      As
        we
        have discussed, MLBFS will expect full compliance with all of the loan covenants
        at all time after June 30, 2005. If Customer remains in violation of the
        loan
        covenant(s) at any time after June 30, 2005, Events of Default will have
        occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents. 

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      In
        order
        for this letter and the waiver contained herein to become effective, Customer
        and the other Guarantors must indicate acceptance on a copy of this letter
        in
        the space set forth below, and return said copy to the undersigned within
        7 days
        from the date hereof. 

      

      Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, this letter shall not serve to act as a waiver of any other
        requirements of the Loan Agreement or any other defaults that may presently
        or
        hereafter exist under the Loan Documents. 

      

      Please
        contact me at (312) 269-4428 if you have any questions. 

      

      Cordially,
