employ its best workmanship in the manufacture of the Products.  The Company may

such changes could be implemented) of  manufacturing  the Products (a "Statement
of Effect").  The Company shall then determine whether or not it desires to make
such  changes in the  Specifications  and  Standards  by  sending  notice to the

within  sixty (60) days,  the Company  shall pay the  Manufacturer  compensation
equal to the  Manufacturer's  committed  costs  plus ten  percent  (10%) for the
deficient orders.  The Yearly Estimates are for planning purposes only and shall
not represent any commitment on the part of the Company to purchase  Products as

minimum of * units over the last  twelve  (12) month  period,  and (ii)  neither
party has given at least twelve (12) months notice of its intention to terminate
the Agreement.  Following initial production, the Manufacturer shall be entitled

(6) consecutive months.

         8. Payment.  The Company  shall pay for the Products by an  irrevocable
letter of credit at sight either for each monthly  order or for a whole  quarter
by revolving  credit at least two (2) weeks before  shipment.  The  Manufacturer
agrees to  discuss,  within six (6)  months of the date  hereof,  other  payment
terms, including payment by wire transfer.

         9.  Shipment.  The  price for all  Products  ordered  pursuant  to this
Agreement shall include  shipping,  handling,  insurance,  and all other cartage
charges to the vessel at the  Singaporean  port. All customs duties will be paid

municipalities, will be paid by the Manufacturer. The sale of all Products shall
be made F.O.B.  the  Singaporean  port,  where title to the Products and risk of
loss shall pass to the Company.

         10.  Epidemic  Failures.  In  the  event  of  an  Epidemic  Failure  in
connection  with the  Products,  upon  return of the  defective  Products to the
Manufacturer,   the  Manufacturer,  at  its  option,  shall  replace  them  with
nondefective  Products or shall  refund the  purchase  price to the Company plus
expenses of  transportation  and applicable  export taxes. The Manufacturer also
has the right at its option, to send repairmen to repair the defective  Products
or to pay the Company a fee for arranging for the local repair of such defective
Products.  Such  replacement  or  refund  shall be the  limit of  Manufacturer's
liability  in the event of an Epidemic  Failure.  An Epidemic  Failure  shall be
deemed to have occurred when, due to defects in material or  workmanship,  of an
identical nature more than 5% of the total units of a particular  production run
(with the same  manufacturing  code) is proven  defective  within  fifteen  (15)
months  from  delivery  to the  Company.  All  design  related  defects  are the
responsibility of the Company.

         11. Insurance.  The Manufacturer shall maintain  throughout the term of
this Agreement, with insurers of internationally  recognized stature,  insurance
in an amount of up to  $6,000,000  (U.S.)  covering all product  liability  type
claims relating to the Products.  The Manufacturer  agrees to add the Company as
an  additional  insured  to  such  insurance.  On  the  Company's  request,  the
Manufacturer   shall  furnish  the  Company  with  evidence  of   Manufacturer's
compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 11.

         12.  Toolings.  The  Manufacturer  shall  make  tools  which  shall  be
necessary to manufacture the Products. All such tools shall be the sole property
of the Company and shall not be used for any purpose  other than those set forth
in this Agreement. The Manufacturer shall use reasonable care in maintaining and
safekeeping  such tools and shall  maintain and update,  throughout  the term of
this  Agreement,  an  itemized  listing of the  particular  tools and their then
current location.  The Manufacturer  shall be responsible for any damage or loss
to all such tools.  The Company shall pay the costs of such tooling as set forth
in Schedule 3.

to use the  Patents,  Technical  Information,  Trademarks  and Trade  Secrets in
connection  with the  manufacture,  assembly,  packaging,  and  shipment  of the
Products  for the  Company.  The  Manufacturer  shall not sell the  Products  to
entities  other than the  Company  (unless  pursuant to a license  agreement  as
provided  in  Section  3),   transfer  any  of  its  rights   pursuant  to  this
Manufacturing  Agreement to any entity, or copy, reverse engineer,  or otherwise

or  improvements  thereon that result from or in connection  with this Agreement
shall be the sole property of the Company.  The parties further acknowledge that

Secrets  developed in connection  with this Agreement shall be the sole property
of the party who developed such improvement; provided, however, that the Company
shall have a  non-exclusive,  royalty  free license to any such  improvement  or
development  related to the  Products so long as such  Products  are made by the
Manufacturer.  Each party shall not, at any time, take or cause any action which
would be  inconsistent  with or tend to impair the rights of the other  party in
and to the Patents,  Technical Information,  Trademarks, and Trade Secrets. Each
party  understands and agrees that, other than as specifically set forth herein,

Patents, each party agrees that except as provided in this Agreement it will not
at any time during the term of this Manufacturing  Agreement or thereafter adopt
or use in any manner the name of the other party or any  trademark or trade name
of the other party  presently  subsisting  or  hereafter  developed by the other
party,  nor shall each party  adopt or use any similar  trademark  or trade name
which is or may be misleading.

         15. Inspection. The Manufacturer agrees that the Company shall have the
right to inspect  finished  Products as well as work in process  during or after
the  manufacture   process.   The  Company  agrees  to  observe  the  rules  and
instructions of the Manufacturer during such inspection. The Manufacturer agrees

         16. Identification. All Products and each significant part of a Product
that is likely to require  replacement  shall have a serial number affixed.  The
Manufacturer  agrees  to  maintain  records  of such  serial  numbers,  types of
Product,  and  replacement  parts  so that a  particular  production  lot may be
readily identified.

         17. Acceptance or Rejection.  Acceptance or rejection of Products shall
be determined solely by their conformity to the then current  Specifications and
Standards.  Acceptance  or rejection of finished  Products by the Company  shall
occur after  production  is completed  and before  shipment is effected from the
factory.  Acceptance  shall be subject to the Company's right to conduct any and
all tests and inspections,  at its expense, which the Company deems necessary or
advisable to ensure full  compliance of the Products with the  provisions of the
Specifications  and Standards.  The Company shall retain the right to reject the
Products which do not conform to any of the Specifications  and Standards.  Upon
rejection,  the Company  shall  notify the  Manufacturer  and shall  provide the
testing  data  which is the  basis for such  rejection.  The  Company  agrees to
provide the  Manufacturer  access to the rejected  Products to confirm the basis
for rejection and to determine the appropriate  remedy. The Manufacturer  shall,
at its option,  repair or replace the rejected  Products within  forty-five (45)
days of  notification.  Acceptance  pursuant to this Section shall not limit the
rights of the Company pursuant to Section 10 hereof.

         18. Confidentiality. The parties agree not to disclose any Confidential
Information  to any third party.  The parties  further agree that they shall not
disclose any Confidential Information to any employees,  agents, or consultants,
except for those for whom disclosure is necessary for the effective  performance
of their responsibilities in connection with this Manufacturing  Agreement,  and
only to the extent  required for such effective  performance.  In addition,  the
parties hereby agree to take all  reasonable and necessary  steps to ensure that
all principals,  officers, agents, employees,  representatives,  consultants, or
any other persons  affiliated in any manner do not use, modify,  disclose,  make
public,   or  authorize  any  disclosure  or  publication  of  any  Confidential
Information,  except as  permitted  herein.  Additionally,  each party agrees to
return all of the other party's  Confidential  Information and all copies of any
written  materials  delivered  to it at any  time  throughout  the  term of this
Manufacturing Agreement upon the termination of this Manufacturing Agreement.

         19. Covenant Not to Compete. The Manufacturer covenants and agrees that
for a  period  of  eighteen  (18)  months  following  the  termination  of  this
Manufacturing  Agreement,  neither it not its Affiliates will, without the prior
written  consent of the Company,  directly or indirectly,  whether as principal,
shareholder,  agents,  partner,  or otherwise,  alone or in association with any
other  person or  entity,  enter  into,  participate  in,  engage in, or own any
interest in the business of any person or entity (other than the Company)  which
is engaged in or  proposes  to engage in the  manufacture  or sale of  dual-deck
VCRs. The Manufacturer, however, shall sell to the Company and the Company shall
purchase upon the request from the  Manufacturer  its then current  inventory of
Products and/or spare parts if the Company breaches its purchase  obligation set
forth in the last sentence of Section 7 of this Agreement.

         19.1  Importance  of Covenant Not to Compete.  It is  understood by and
between the parties hereto that the covenant not to compete specified in Section
19 hereof is an essential element of this  Manufacturing  Agreement and that but
for such  covenant,  the Company would not have entered into this  Manufacturing
Agreement.

         19.2  Remedies.  Without  intending  in any way to limit  the  remedies
available in this  Manufacturing  Agreement both parties further  understand and
agree that damages at law may be an insufficient remedy if either party breaches
the covenant  contained in Section 19 hereof,  and that the other party may have
injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction,  in the United States,
Japan,  Indonesia,  Singapore,  or  elsewhere,  to  restrain  the  breach or the
threatened breach of or otherwise specifically to enforce the covenant contained
in Section 19 hereof.

         20. Events of Default. This Agreement may be terminated by either party
if the other party has  breached a material  provision of this  Agreement  which
breach has not been cured  within  ninety  (90) days after the  breaching  party
receives notice describing such breach; provided,  however, that if the event or
events  that  caused  the breach  are cured  within  the ninety  (90) day notice
period,  this Agreement  shall continue in full force and effect as if no breach
had occurred.

         21.  Indemnification.  Each party agrees to indemnify and save harmless
the other party and its subsidiaries,  officers,  directors,  agents, employees,
contractors  and legal  representatives,  from and  against  any and all claims,
demands,  actions,  causes of action, losses or liabilities,  including attorney
fees and costs,  which are hereafter made or brought against them or any of them
for the  recovery  of  damages,  which have as their basis the actual or alleged
violation by each party of any of the covenants  herein or which arise from each
party's performance, failure to perform, or failure to perform properly any term
of this  Manufacturing  Agreement.  The foregoing  indemnification  shall not be
enforceable  against the  Manufacturer  by the Company for any claims,  demands,
actions,  causes of  action,  losses  or  liabilities  resulting  from the acts,
omissions  or  negligence  of third  parties  after the  Products  have left the
possession and control of the Manufacturer.  The Company agrees to indemnify and
save  harmless  the  Manufacturer  and its  subsidiaries,  officers,  directors,
agents, employees,  contractors,  and legal representatives from and against any
and all claims,  demands,  actions,  causes of actions,  losses, or liabilities,
including  attorney fees and costs,  which are hereafter made or brought against
them or any of them for the  recovery of damages,  which have as their basis the
actual or alleged infringement, by the Company or the Manufacturer, of any third
party's patents, copyrights,  trademarks, or trade secrets or other intellectual
property  rights  arising  out  of  the   Manufacturer's  use  of  the  Patents,
Trademarks,  Know How, Trade Secrets, or Technical  Information  provided by the
Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any
claim of patent,  copyright or trade secret  infringement  which is based on any
modifications to such technology prepared or developed by the Manufacturer, with
respect to any other products not manufactured for the Company.

         22. Force  Majeure.  This  Manufacturing  Agreement is subject to force
majeure.  Either  party's  failure to perform,  in whole or in part shall not be
deemed a breach or default

is due to causes  which are beyond  either  party's  reasonable  control  and is
attributable to any act of God, public enemy, fire,  explosion,  flood, drought,
war,  riot,  sabotage,  accident  embargo,  governing  priority,  requisition or
allocation or other action by any governmental authority,  interruption or delay
in transportation, or labor trouble from whatever cause.

respect to the terms and conditions of this Manufacturing Agreement and that the
Manufacturer  is not in any  respect  acting  as an  agent  or  employee  of the
Company. This Manufacturing Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed
to  constitute  either  party as the  joint  venturer,  partner,  agent or legal
representative  of the  other,  and  neither  party  shall  have any  authority,
express, implied or apparent to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or
in the name of the other party hereto.

         24. Assignment.  This Manufacturing Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and  assigns;  provided,  however,  that neither  party may assign,  delegate or
transfer  this  Manufacturing  Agreement  or any of its  rights  or  obligations
hereunder,  whether  voluntarily  or  involuntarily,  without the prior  written
consent of the other party. Any attempted assignment or transfer by either party
