Guttenberg, Erin Dominick, John Dominick, Kimberly A. Pavlin, Chris Springer,
Gregg Weeder, Dena Weeder and Martha J. White, collectively the shareholders
(the "Shareholders") of Home Loan.Com, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Loan").
Whenever both parties are collectively referred to in this Agreement, they shall
be designated as the "parties".

     The parties wish to provide for the Shareholders's exchange of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Loan which consist of 1,006 shares in exchange
for shares of NLMC according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     The parties agree as follows:

     1.   The Acquisition.

          1.1  Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
               Agreement, at the Closing to be held as provided in Section 1.3,
               NLMC shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of
               Loan and as of the Closing, Loan shall own the Assets listed in
               Exhibit A ("Assets") free and clear of all encumbrances except as
               disclosed on Exhibit B ("Encumbrances").

          1.2  Purchase Price. Shareholders will exchange their 1,006 shares in
               Loan for 5,633,600 shares of common stock of NLMC ("Shares")
               which shall be taken as restricted investment stock pursuant to
               investment representations and restrictive legends under the
               federal securities laws. Each share of Loan shall be exchanged
               for 5,600 Shares of NLMC.

               NLMC shall hold in escrow one million (1,000,000) of Regina
               Mitchell's portion of the Shares which shall be deemed nonvoting
               Shares until released. These shall be released not later than
               September 30, 2000, provided that (a) NLMC has received at least
               $250,000 in financing since signing this agreement at not less
               than $0.40 per share, and (b) Loan's business has produced sales
               for the two months ended August 31, 2000 averaging at least
               $200,000 per month, with no less than break-even operating cash
               flow after deduction of operating expenses (including all general
               and administrative overhead expenses, but excluding outside costs
               of advertising, expansion, acquisitions and web-site
               development). It is understood that the parties will seek to
               finance such outside costs of advertising, expansion,
               acquisitions and web-site development primarily out of additional
               equity funding. NLMC shall exert good faith best efforts to
               achieve the above results with Loan, but shall cancel the one
               million (1,000,000) Shares if said results are not achieved.

          1.3  The Closing; Place and Time. The closing of the sale and purchase
               of the Shares (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of
               Arnold P. Guttenberg, Esq., Denver, Colorado, no later than the
               close of business on March 10, 2000, or at such other place, date
               and time as the parties may agree in writing.

          (h)  Each Shareholder acknowledges and is aware that the following
               legend will be imprinted on the Shares subscribed to by each
               Shareholder:

                    "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
                    CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
                    WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
                    EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE U.S.
                    SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
                    "1933 ACT"), AND ARE "RESTRICTED

                    SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT
                    PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

          (i)  Each Shareholder acknowledges and is aware of the following, in
               addition to other information included in the information
               provided to each Shareholder:

               (i)  The Shares are a speculative investment and involve a high
                    degree of risk of loss by each Shareholder of each
                    Shareholder's total investment.

               (ii) There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of
                    the Securities. The Shares can not be transferred, pledged,
                    hypothecated, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are
                    registered under the Act of an exemption from such
                    registration is available and established to the
                    satisfaction of NLMC; except as provided in Section 5.5
                    below, the Shareholders have no rights to require that any
                    transfer of the Shares be registered under the Act; there
                    will be a limited public market for NLMC's Common Stock; and
                    accordingly, each Shareholder may have to hold the Shares
                    indefinitely; and it may not be possible for each
                    Shareholder to liquidate each Shareholder's investment in
                    NLMC.

     5.   Representations and Warranties of NLMC:

          NLMC represents and warrants to Shareholders as follows:

          5.1  Organization of NLMC; Authorization. NLMC is a corporation duly
               organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
               of Utah with full corporate power and authority to execute and
               deliver this Agreement as it pertains to any representations or
               undertakings of Shareholders. The execution, delivery and
               performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all
               necessary corporate actions of Loan and this Agreement
               constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Loan, enforceable
               against it in accordance with its terms.

          5.2  NLMC Review of Records. NLMC is a sophisticated business entity
               and an accredited investor and has been given an opportunity to
               review provided corporate records and accountings for Loan and is
               acquiring such assets of Loan after satisfaction of its own due
               diligence standards.

          5.3  Brokers and Finders. NLMC has not employed any broker or finder
               or incurred any liability for any brokerage or finder's fees or
               commission or similar payments in connection with any of the
               transactions contemplated hereby.

                                        8
<PAGE>

          5.4  Conflict as to NLMC. Neither the execution and delivery of this
               Agreement nor the performance of NLMC's obligations hereunder
               will (a) violate any provision of the certificate of
               incorporation or by-laws of NLMC or (b) violate any statute or
               law or any judgment, decree, order regulation or rule of any
               court or other governmental body applicable to NLMC.

          5.5  Registration of Shares. NLMC shall file a Registration Statement
               including the 5,633,600 Shares acquired by the Shareholders under
               this Agreement (and the additional shares in 2.1 (e) above) as
               soon as reasonably feasible within sixty (60) to one hundred
               twenty (120) days from the date of Closing. Said Registration
               Statement shall require the audited financials of Loan, the
               completion of NLMC's Form 10K and 10Q filings with the Securities
               and Exchange Commission, and legends on the certificates for the
               5,633,600 Shares restricting sale of more than 5% per month per
               Shareholder (for a period ending June 1, 2002) after
               effectiveness of the Registration Statement for all owners of
               more than 200,000 Shares of NLMC including current owners of said
               Shares (said 5% per month based on the number of shares held at
               Closing shall apply to each month and shall not be increased by
               aggregation with months in which such sales do not occur).

          5.6  Filings. Promptly after this Closing, NLMC shall cause to be
               filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,
               if necessary, the event report on Form 8-K, which report shall
               provide information relative to the consummation of the
               transaction provided for in this Agreement.

          5.7  Outstanding Shares. NLMC expects that certain existing debts,
               described hereto on Exhibit F will be settled in exchange for
               Shares and upon extinguishment (or partial extinguishment) of
               said debts and subsequent to the issuance of the 5,633,600 Shares
               to Shareholders, NLMC will have no more than 12,133,600 issued
               and outstanding Shares, except for Shares issued pursuant to cash
               financing received subsequent to February 1, 2000.

     6.   Conduct of Loan's Business Prior to the Closing.

          6.1  Operation in Ordinary Course. Between February 1, 2000 and the
               Closing date, Loan and its subsidiaries have and shall conduct
               their businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course.

          6.2  Business Organization. Between the date of this Agreement and the
               Closing date, Shareholders shall use their reasonable efforts,
               and shall cause Loan and each of its subsidiaries to use its
               respective reasonable efforts, to (a) preserve substantially
               intact the business organization of Loan and each of its
               subsidiaries and keep available the services of the present
               officers and employees of Loan and each of its subsidiaries, and
               (b) preserve in all material respects the present business
               relationships and good will of Loan and each of its subsidiaries.

          6.3  Corporate Organization. Between the date of this Agreement and
               the Closing date, Shareholders shall not cause or permit Loan of
               its subsidiaries to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of
               any of its properties or assets (including, but not limited to,
               rights with respect to patents and registered trademarks and
               copyrights or other proprietary rights), in an amount which is
               material to the business or financial condition of Loan and its
               subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except in the ordinary course of
               business.

     7.   Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.

          7.1  Survival. Each representation, warranty and covenant contained in
               this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered

               Representations, Warranties and Covenants").

          7.2  Indemnification by Shareholders. Shareholders shall indemnify and
               hold harmless NLMC, and shall reimburse NLMC for, any loss,
               liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney's
               fees) (collectively, "Damages") arising from or in connection
               with (a) any inaccuracy in any of the Surviving Representations,
               Warranties and Covenants of Shareholders in this Agreement or (b)
               any failure by Shareholders to perform or comply with any
               agreement in this Agreement.

          7.3  NLMC shall indemnify and hold harmless Shareholders, and shall
               reimburse Shareholders for, any damages arising from or in
               connection with (a) any inaccuracy in any of the Surviving
               Representations, Warranties and Covenants of NLMC in this
               Agreement, (b) any failure by NLMC to perform or comply with any

                    satisfied at the time at which the Closing (as it may be
                    deferred pursuant to Section 1.3) would otherwise occur or
                    if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes
                    impossible.

                                       10

                    satisfied at the time at which the Closing (as it may be
                    deferred pursuant to Section 1.3), would otherwise occur of
                    if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes
                    impossible.

          8.2  Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant
               to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall terminate without any

                                       11
<PAGE>

          10.4 Exclusive Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all
               prior agreements among the parties with respect to its subject
               matter and is intended (with the documents referred to herein) as
               a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
               among the parties with respect thereto and cannot be changed or
               terminated orally.

          10.5 Type B Reorganization. The parties intend that the transaction
               described in this Agreement will qualify as a reorganization
               under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
               as amended (the "Code") and that the result in exchange of Shares
               will not result in recognition of any gain or loss to NLMC under
               Section 1032(a) of the Code or to the Shareholders under Section
               354(a)(1) of the Code and the provisions of this Agreement shall
               be interpreted consistent with that purpose and any provision
               inconsistent thereto shall be deemed null and void.

          10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
               counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but
               all of which together shall be the complete and binding
               Agreement, provided however, initially, NLMC is prepared to sign
               the Agreement with Regina Mitchell and Arnold P. Guttenberg, with
               the remaining Shareholders to sign at or prior to Closing.

          10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and (unless otherwise provided) all
               amendments hereof and waiver and consents hereunder shall be
               governed by the internal law of the State of Colorado, without
               regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

          10.8 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
               be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
               successors and assigns.

Pavlin, Chris Springer, Gregg Weeder, Dena Weeder and Martha J. White
(collectively the "Shareholders"); and

     WHEREAS, the Exchange Agreement provided that the Shareholders Loan
exchanged all of the outstanding and issued shares of Loan in exchange for
5,633,600 shares of NLMC; and

     WHEREAS, as a result of the Exchange Agreement, Loan became a wholly owned
subsidiary of NLMC; and

     WHEREAS, Regina Mitchell has advanced funds and provided other
consideration to Loan and is therefore a creditor of Loan; and

     WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement believe that it is in the best
interests of the parties that any and all amounts that are owed to Regina
Mitchell should be extinguished, canceled and terminated; and

     WHEREAS, Regina Mitchell has agreed to accept shares of NLMC in exchange
for all amounts owed to her and NLMC is willing to satisfy the debt of its
wholly owned subsidiary in exchange for its shares.

     THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

     1.   NLMC shall cause to be issued 199,000 shares to Regina Mitchell in

                                                            ------------

                         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT dated as of the 1st day of December, 1999, between KELLWOOD
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, hereinafter called (the "Corporation"),
and HAL J. UPBIN residing at 625 South Skinker Boulevard, Clayton,
Missouri 63105-2301, hereinafter called (the "Executive").

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

     1. Employment.  (a) The Corporation hereby employs Executive in an
        ----------
executive capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer, for the
period (the "Employment Period") commencing as of December 1, 1999, and
ending on January 31, 2004.  Executive hereby accepts such employment in
St. Louis, Missouri, and agrees to devote his full time and effort to
the services of the Corporation in such executive capacity, and as a
Director, if elected, with such other duties as may be reasonably
assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and to act
in an executive capacity and/or as a Director without additional
compensation for any of its subsidiaries, affiliated companies or others
as the Board of Directors shall require.  Any outside directorships
shall be agreed upon and approved in advance by the Board of Directors.

     (b)  In the event Executive shall become disabled during the Employment
period, the Corporation shall continue to pay his salary at the same
rate and times as in effect on the date of disability.  The Corporation
shall also continue to provide Executive with all benefits to which he
is entitled hereunder.  If such disability continues for a continuous
period of one year, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, at its
option, may thereafter terminate the employment of Executive.  For
purposes of this Employment Agreement, disability shall mean a mental or
physical illness or condition which in the reasonable judgment of the
Board of Directors renders Executive incapable of performing his duties
as required hereunder.

     (c)  If Executive dies during the Employment Period, the Corporation
shall continue to pay his salary, at the same rate and times as in
effect on the date of his death, to the representative of Executive's
estate, or otherwise as Executive may by will direct, for a period of
one year after his death.

     2. Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Corporation
        -----------
shall pay to Executive for all services rendered by him to the
Corporation in any capacity a minimum annual salary at the rate of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) to be paid in twelve equal monthly
payments.  Executive's salary shall be reviewed yearly,
contemporaneously with the January 31 year end.  The first such review
will be as of January 31, 2001.

     3. Other Compensation.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
        ------------------
shall be entitled to participate in all compensation and benefit
programs (including but not limited to life, medical and disability
insurance, retirement, vacation, automobile, St. Louis Club membership,
cash and stock bonus, and stock options) as the Corporation may from
time to time offer or make available to other officers employed by the
Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The Corporation also shall provide
Executive and his family medical and major medical insurance coverage on
the same basis as provided to other officers of the Corporation.  The
Corporation shall also provide Executive the special Retirement and
Death Benefit he is now entitled to under that certain "Death Benefit
Agreement" dated June 2, 1994; as well as coverage under the
Corporation's Directors and Officers Liability Policy.

     4. Expenses.  The Corporation agrees to reimburse Executive for all
        --------
travel, entertainment and other expenses reasonably incurred by
Executive in rendering the services called for by this Agreement,
provided that Executive shall submit vouchered expenditures in
reasonable detail to the Corporation.  Corporation shall issue credit
cards to Executive on the same basis as other officers of the Company
for this purpose.

     5. Vacation.  Executive shall be entitled each year to a vacation
        --------
of four weeks, during which time his salary shall be paid in full, to be
taken at such time or times that Executive may reasonably select.

     6. Confidential Information.  Executive agrees not to disclose or
        ------------------------
use at any time except in pursuit of the business of the Corporation,
any confidential information of the Corporation, whether Executive has
such information in his memory or embodied in writing or other physical
form.  For purposes of this Agreement the phrase "confidential
information" means all information relating to the Corporation which (a)
is known only to the Corporation's employees including former employees
of the Corporation or employees of affiliated companies, or others in a
confidential relationship with the Corporation, and (b) relates to
specific business matters, such as operational procedures of the
Corporation or customers or accounting procedures of the Corporation.

     7. NonCompete.  Executive agrees that, while payments are being
        ----------
made to him hereunder, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage in or
have a substantial interest in any business (except for ownership of
less than 5% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any class of
any corporation) which at the time shall be in whole or substantial part
competitive with any part of the business carried on by the Corporation
or its subsidiaries now or at any time until the end of the Employment
Period, either for his own or family's benefit or with any person, firm
or corporation whatsoever other than the Corporation and its
subsidiaries.  Executive further agrees that he will report to the Board
of Directors of the Corporation any substantial business dealings
between himself or his family and

                                  69
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Corporation or any of its subsidiaries including dealings between the
Corporation and a company in which he or any of his family has a
substantial financial interest.  Executive agrees to immediately
terminate the business dealing if the Board of Directors of the
Corporation determines in good faith that a conflict exists.

     8.  Corporation's Successor.  In the event that the Corporation
         -----------------------
shall at any time be liquidated or dissolved (either in whole or in
substantial part), be merged with or consolidated into any other
corporation or corporations, or in the event that all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation shall be sold or otherwise
transferred to another corporation, the provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successor of the
Corporation to which such assets shall be sold or transferred (the
"Corporation's Successor").  The term "Corporation" wherever used in
this Agreement shall include the Corporation's Successor.

     9.  Severance. If at any time during the Employment Period the
         ---------
Corporation terminates the Executive's employment without Cause, then
Executive shall, (a) be entitled to receive monthly base salary at the
annual rate then in effect for the balance of the Employment Period, and
(b) provided that Executive has been employed for at least the first
three months of the fiscal year, be entitled to receive a prorated
portion of the year end cash bonus Executive would have earned based on
full fiscal year results with said bonus payable at the normal time.
Proration examples would be: two months = 0%; six months = 50%; nine
months = 75%; etc.  If at any time during the employment period, (a)
this Agreement terminates as a result of the death of the Executive, (b)
this Agreement terminates as a result of the Executive voluntarily
quitting, (c) the Corporation terminates the Executive for disability in
accordance with paragraph 1(b), or (d) the Corporation terminates the
Executive for Cause in accordance with this paragraph, then all of the
Executive's rights under this Agreement which would accrue following the
date of that termination shall cease.  For these purposes "Cause" shall
mean (i) the continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform
his duties with the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting
from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness - which is
addressed in paragraph 1(b)) after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to him by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which
the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed
his duties or (ii) the engaging by the Executive in misconduct which is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Corporation monetarily or
otherwise and the existence of Cause is determined in good faith by the
Corporation's Board of Directors.

     10.  Mitigation.  Executive shall not be obligated to seek other
          ----------
employment in mitigation of the amounts payable under any provision of
this Agreement.  However, should he commence other employment, any

                                  70
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

compensation received from such employment and related to services he
performs prior to January 31, 2004, shall offset and reduce the
Corporation's obligations to make the payments under this Agreement.

     11.  Waiver.  No waiver of any breach or failure to perform the
          ------
terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
the parties hereto unless the same shall be in writing.  Any such waiver
shall be for one time only and shall not be for any future breach of
failure to perform under the terms of this Agreement.

     12.  Inventions.  Any and all inventions, designs and the like
          ----------
created by Executive during the term of this Agreement, which relate to
or are connected with the business then being conducted by the
Corporation, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the
Corporation.  The Corporation shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense, to take out copyrights or obtain letters patent on any such
inventions, designs and the like, and such copyrights and renewals
thereof shall likewise be the sole and exclusive property of the
Corporation.  Executive shall, at no cost or expense to him, cooperate
in effectuating the registration of any claim to copyright or patent or
any other proceedings to afford protection thereunder.

     13.  Notices.  All notices, requests, offers, demands and other
          -------
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effectively
given or made when mailed by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, and when directed to the party at the address given
herein, or to such other address as either party may hereafter designate
in writing.
