Dear  Mr.  Lippold:

     The  purpose  of  this  letter of intent ("Letter") is to set forth certain
nonbinding  understandings  and  certain  binding  agreements  between  Upgrade
International  Corporation,  a  Washington Corporation ("UPGD"), and the Cards &
More  group  ("GROUP"),  with  respect  to  an  acquisition  transaction  (the
"Acquisition")  to  be  accomplished  as  set  forth  below.

     The  numbered  paragraphs  below constitute a general guide to the material
terms  of the Acquisition, but they do not constitute a definitive agreement and
they  shall  not be enforceable unless and until the parties reach and execute a
definitive  agreement  regarding  the  Acquisition.

     1.  Transaction  Structure.  The parties contemplate that UPGD shall form a
         ----------------------
wholly-owned  subsidiary ("Newco"), that GROUP shall merge with and into. Owners
of  equity  interests  in  GROUP shall receive cash consideration for 60% of the
issued  and  outstanding  equity interests in the GROUP, as more fully described
below.  The parties contemplate that the Acquisition shall qualify as a tax-free
reorganization  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended.

     2.  Due  Diligence.  UPGD  shall  have  a reasonable period of time, not to
         --------------
exceed  30  days,  after  execution  of  the  definitive agreement regarding the
Acquisition, within which it shall finish its due diligence investigation of the
GROUP.  UPGD  shall  have  the  right  to  terminate  the  agreement  if, at the
conclusion  of  such  period  of  time,  it is not reasonably satisfied with the
results  of  its  investigation.  During the period prior to Closing, each party
shall  permit  the other reasonable access to its books, records, facilities and
personnel.

<PAGE>
     3.  Purchase Price.  Subject  to  paragraph  5, below, the "Purchase Price"
         --------------
shall be $12,000,000  for  60%  of  the  GROUP  payable  in  cash.

     4.  Financial  Condition. There shall be no decrease in GROUP's non current
         --------------------
assets,  other  than  in  connection  with normal and recurring depreciation and
amortization.  At  Closing,  GROUP's  liabilities, which shall include any GROUP
obligations to pay money (whether in connection with debt or equity securities),
shall  be  no  more  than  $100,000.

     5.  Filings  and  Approvals.  UPGD and GROUP shall cooperate to prepare and
         -----------------------
cause  to be filed a registration statement with the SEC in connection with this
acquisition. UPGD and GROUP shall further cooperate to prepare all other filings
required  to  effect  the  transaction.
Each  party  shall  bear  its  own  costs  in  connection with these filings and
approvals.

     6.  Exclusivity;  Acquisition  Proposals  and  Break-up Fee. The definitive
         -------------------------------------------------------
documentation  of  the  Acquisition shall include customary provisions regarding
the  obligation  of  GROUP  and  its  insiders  not  to solicit or encourage any
competing  acquisition  proposal,  with  appropriate flexibility left to GROUP's
Board  of  Directors  to  enable  it  to  perform  its  fiduciary  duty  to  its
shareholders,  the  violation  of  which  shall  result  in  GROUP paying UPGD a
break-up  fee  of  two  percent  (2%)  of  the  transaction  value.

     7.  Other  Terms.  The  definitive  documentation  of the Acquisition shall
         ------------
include  such  other terms and conditions, including representations, warranties
and  covenants,  customary  for  transactions  of  this type.  Additionally, the
definitive  agreement  will  include  five year (5) employment contracts for the
current  management  of  the  GROUP.

     The  following  lettered  paragraphs  constitute  the  legally  binding and
enforceable  of  agreement  of UPGD and GROUP (in recognition of the significant
costs  to  be  borne by UPGD and GROUP in pursuing the execution of a definitive
agreement  regarding  the  Acquisition),

     A.     Between  the  signing  of  this  letter  of intent and up to 30 days
thereafter,  the  GROUP  will not solicit or encourage any competing acquisition
proposal  front  any  person  other  than  UPGD,  nor  will GROUP, or any of its
stockholders, through any officer, director, agent, or otherwise, (1) solicit or
initiate,  directly  or  indirectly,  or  encourage  submission  of  inquiries,
proposals,  or offers from any potential buyer (other than UPGD) relating to the
disposition  of  the  assets  or securities of GROUP, or any part thereof (other
than sales in the ordinary course) or (2) subject to fiduciary obligations under
applicable  law as advised in writing by counsel, participate in any discussions
or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect
to,  the  disposition  of  assets or any securities of GROUP or any part thereof
during the pendency of negotiations between UPGD and GROUP, and neither UPGD nor
GROUP  will  unilaterally  terminate  these negotiations during the term of this
Letter  without  cause.

                                   Page 2 of 4
<PAGE>
     B.     For violation of the preceding paragraph  A  by  GROUP or any of its
stockholders,  through  any  officer, director, agent, or otherwise, GROUP shall
pay  UPGD  a  break-up  fee  of  2%  of  the  value  of  the  transaction.

     C.     GROUP  shall  conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent
with  prior  practices.  GROUP  will  not  make  or become obligated to make any
capital  expenditures  or  enter  or become obligated to enter into any material
contracts  outside  of  the  ordinary course of business consistent with GROUP's
prior  practice  without  GROUP's  prior written approval or engage in any other
transaction  outside  the  ordinary  course  of business consistent with GROUP's
prior  practice. GROUP will not make any payment or distribution with respect to
its  share  capital,  whether  by  way  of management fee, redemption, dividend,
bonus,  pay  increase or otherwise. The definitive agreement shall contain other
mutually  acceptable  limits  on  GROUP's  conduct of business during the period
prior  to  Closing.

     D.     Subject  to  the  terms  set  forth  in paragraph G below respecting
confidentiality  and  certain  other matters, each party will afford the other's
employees,  auditors,  legal  counsel,  and other authorized representatives all
reasonable  opportunity  and  access  during  normal  business hours to inspect,
investigate,  and  audit  their  respective  businesses.  Such  inspection,
investigation  and audit shall be conducted m a reasonable manner during regular
business  hours.

     E.     UPGD  and  GROUP  will  negotiate  in  good faith and use their best
efforts  to  arrive  at a mutually acceptable definitive agreement for approval,
execution,  and delivery on earliest reasonably practicable date. UPGD and GROUP
will  thereupon use their best efforts to effect the Closing and to proceed with
the  transactions  contemplated  by  the  definitive agreement as promptly as is
reasonably  practicable.

     F.     Each  of  the  undersigned  represents  and warrants that he has all
necessary  authority  to  execute  this  Letter  and create a binding obligation
enforceable  according  to its terms against the party on whose behalf he signs.

     G.     Each  party agrees to treat all nonpublic information concerning the
other furnished, or to be furnished, by or on behalf of the other (collectively,
the  "Information")  in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and to
take,  or  abstain from taking, other actions set forth herein, Each party shall
use  the  Information  of  the  other  solely  for the purpose of evaluating the
Acquisition,  and  it  will be kept confidential by such party on a need to know
basis;  provided  that  (i)  any  of  such  Information may be disclosed to such
party's  officers,  directors,  employees, representatives, agents, and advisors
who need to know such Information for the purpose of evaluating the Acquisition,
(ii)  any disclosure of such Information may be made to which the other consents
in writing and (iii) such Information may be disclosed if so required by law. If
the  Acquisition  is  not  consummated  each  party will return to the other all
material  containing  or  reflecting  the  Information  and  will not retain any
copies,  extracts,  or  other  reproductions  thereof.  The  provisions  of this
paragraph  G  shall  survive  the  termination  of  this  Letter.

                         Re:  Rockster, Inc. ("Rockster")
                              ---------------------------

Dear Mr. Garibaldi:

     This  letter  sets  forth  the  general  terms  and conditions of a binding
agreement ("Letter Agreement") by and between Upgrade International Corporation,
a  Washington  corporation  ("UPGRADE")  and  Rockster,  Inc.,  a  California
corporation  ("Rockster"), with respect to the purchase from Rockster by UPGRADE
of  fifty-seven  percent  (57%) of the outstanding common stock of Rockster (the
"Acquisition").  Specifically,  we  have  agreed  as  follows:

     1.     Ownership.  Marco Garibaldi is presently the majority shareholder of
            ---------
Rockster  (the  "Shareholder")  and  the authorized capital stock of Rockster is
presently  10,000,000  shares,  no  par  value (the "Shares"). Other than as set
forth on Schedule A hereto, there are no outstanding options, warrants or rights
to  purchase  the  Shares.  Other  than  as  disclosed on Schedule A hereto, the
Shareholder  is  not  aware of any agreements or commitments with respect to the
disposition  of  any of the Shares or any proxy, voting trust or other agreement
relating  to  the  voting  of  the  Shares.

     2.     Acquisition  Consideration.  In  the  Acquisition, UPGRADE agrees to
            --------------------------
purchase  directly  from  Rockster  that number of shares that will result in an
ownership  interest of fifty-seven percent (57%) of the outstanding common stock
of  Rockster  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  Five  Million  Dollars
($5,000,000),  in  a  series  of stock purchases to be completed as set forth in
Schedule  B hereto, which Schedule is incorporated herein by this reference. The
shares  intended  to be acquired as herein provided shall be issued by Rockster,
in  proportion  to  the actual monies received in each instance, upon receipt of
such  monies  as set forth in Schedule B in such number as shall be equal to the
quotient  of  the  actual  monies  delivered  to Rockster divided by $5,000,000.

     3.     Closing. The closing ("Closing") of the transactions contemplated by
            -------
this  Letter  Agreement  will  occur on January 31, 2001 (the "Closing Date") or
such  other  date  as  is  mutually  agreed  to  by  UPGRADE,  Rockster  and the
Shareholder.

            ---------

will  continue  to  conduct  its  respective operations only in the ordinary and
usual  course,  consistent  with  past  practices and will notify UPGRADE of any

as they  may  reasonably  request,  including  review  of  work  papers.  If the
examination of the books  and records identifies any matter that has or may have
a material  adverse  effect on the  financial condition of Rockster, UPGRADE may
terminate this Letter Agreement  without  further  obligation.

     7.     Securities  -  Trading. Rockster hereby agrees that between the date
            ----------------------

cause Rockster's and Rockster's officers, directors, shareholders and affiliates
to  refrain,  from  any  securities  trading  activities  with  respect  to  the
securities  of  UPGRADE.

     8.     Corporate  Approval.  Rockster  represents  and  warrants  that this
            -------------------
Letter  approval  will  receive concurrent approval form its Board of Directors.

     9.     Definitive  Agreement.      The  parties  acknowledge  that  the

Agreement").  The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to establish mutually

     12.     Confidentiality.  It  is  understood  and  agreed  any  non-public
             ---------------
information  received  by  any  party  hereto  as  a  result  of discussions and

reasonably practical to seek and obtain all necessary consents and approvals and

of  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.

     15.     Public  Disclosure.  Prior to the Closing Date, none of the parties
             ------------------
will  make  any public release of information regarding any matters contemplated

Definitive  Agreement; (iii) the Closing Date, and (iv) as otherwise required by
law.

     16.     Fees  and  Expenses.  The parties agree that each will bear and pay
             -------------------
all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  them  in  this  transaction  and  all

limitation,  fees  and  expenses  with respect to legal counsel, accountants and
investment  advisors.

     17.     Termination:  Survival.  This  Letter  Agreement  shall  expire
             ----------------------

and agreed that the provisions of Sections 12, 16 and 18 hereof will survive any
termination  or  expiration  of  this  Letter  Agreement.

     18.     Governing  Law.  This Letter Agreement and the Definitive Agreement
             --------------
will  be  governed  by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California.

     19.     Post-Closing Matters: Public Offering. Following the closing of the
             -------------------------------------
Definitive  Agreement,  it  is  acknowledged  and  agreed  that  the  day-to-day
operations  of  Rockster  shall continue to be conducted by the current officers
and  employees of Rockster, and Rockster shall be responsible for the continuing
development  of  its  technology  and  for  the  execution of its business plan;
subject,  however,  to  such  periodic  reports to UPGRADE as are agreed upon by
Rockster  and  UPGRADE.  UPGRADE,  Rockster  and  the  Shareholder  contemplate
preparing and entering into a Shareholder's Agreement setting forth the officers
and  directors  of  Rockster, requiring supermajority voting on material matters
affecting  the business of Rockster (e.g., issuance of additional capital stock,
purchase and sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Rockster, persons
serving  as  the  executive  officers and directors of Rockster, etc.). UPGRADE,
Rockster  and  the  Shareholder  further  contemplate that, assuming Rockster is
successful  in  executing  its  business plan as outlined in the Budget, UPGRADE
will  participate with Rockster in making a public offering of Rockster's common
stock  within  twelve (12) months of the closing of the Definitive Agreement, it
being  currently  contemplated  that such offering would involve the issuance of
approximately  one  million  (1,000,000)  Rockster  common shares at an offering
price  of  Twenty-Five  Dollars ($25.00) per share. It is understood and agreed,
however,  that  any  public  offering of Rockster shall be subject to prevailing
market  conditions,  the  ability  to  retain  an  underwriter to conduct a firm

commitment  underwriting  on  terms  and  conditions  acceptable to Rockster and
UPGRADE,  and  UPGRADE's  agreement with respect to the level of dilution in its
Rockster  stock  ownership  interest  resulting  from  the  public  offering.

     If  the  foregoing  accurately  sets  forth  all of the mutual terms of our
legally  binding  agreement,  please  so  indicate by duly executing each of the
copies  of  this  Letter  Agreement and returning two (2) fully executed copies.
