Yes, but we do not know the specifics or the possible alternatives (maybe it is just more expensive to have non-exclusivity). Also it is in the manufacturers interest to claim DRM exclusivity since they then can get away with only supporting one format.
Mobile Phones and PDAs have no problem supporting more than one format so obviously other types of contracts are available for some devices at least.
