          omission of Lessee, requirements of the holder of a mortgage or deed
          of trust covering the Premises, or increased valuation of the
          Premises. Lessee shall pay any such premium increases to Lessor within
          30 days after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement or
          other satisfactory evidence of the amount due. If the insurance
          policies maintained hereunder cover over improvements in addition to

          such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or
          other modification except after ten (10) days' prior written notice to
          Lessor. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of
          such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof, or
          Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee,
          which amount shall be payable upon demand. Lessee shall not do or
          permit to be done anything which shall indicate the insurance policies
          referred to in paragraph 8.2.

          Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or employees, and from

          deposit as has not therefore been applied by Lessor.

10.  REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

     10.1 Payment of Tax Increase. Lessor shall pay all real property taxes
          applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that Lessee shall pay,
          in addition to rent, the amount, if any, by which real property taxes
          applicable to the Premises increase over the fiscal tax year
          1999/2000. Such payment shall be made by Lessee within thirty (30)
          days after receipt of Lessor's written statement setting forth the
          amount of such increase and the reasonable computation thereof. If the
          term of this Lease shall not expire concurrently with the expiration
          of the tax fiscal year, Lessee's liability for increased taxes for the
          last partial Lease year shall be prorated on an annual basis.

     10.2 Definition of "Real Property" Tax. As used herein, the term "real
          property tax" shall include any form of assessment, license fee,
          commercial rental tax, levy, penalty, or tax (other than inheritance
          or estate taxes), imposed by any authority having the direct or
          indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal
          government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other
          improvement district thereof, as against any legal or equitable
          interest of Lessor in the premises or in the real property of which
          the Premises are a part, as against Lessor's right to rent or other
          income therefrom, or as against Lessor's business of leasing the
          Premises.

     10.3 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
          Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real
          property taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
          the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor
          from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets

                                       7
<PAGE>

          or such other information as may be reasonably available. Lessor's
          reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

     10.4 Personal Property Taxes.

          (a)  Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
               and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
               other personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or
               elsewhere. When possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures,
               Furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be
               assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.

          (b)  If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with
               Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
               attributed to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written
               statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's
               property.

11.  UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
     telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises,
     together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately
     metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be
     determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered with other premises.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

     12.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
          operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise
          transfer or encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this
          lease or in the Premises, without Lessor's prior written consent,
          which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold. Any attempted
          assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such
          consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

     12.2 No Release of Lessee. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting or
          assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter the
          primary liability of lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
          obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of
          rent by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a
          waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or
          subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or
          subletting.

     12.3 Attorney's Fees. In the event that Lessor shall consent to sublease or
          assignment under paragraph 12.1, Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable
          attorneys' fees no to exceed $250.00 incurred in connection with
          giving such consent.

     12.4 Lessor's Election. Lessee's request for consent to any transfer
          described in Paragraph 12.1 above shall be accompanied by a written
          statement setting forth the details of the proposed transfer,
          including the name, business and financial condition of the
          prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer
          (e.g., the term of and rent and security deposit payable under any
          assignment or sublease, and any other information Lessor deems

                                       8
<PAGE>

          relevant. Lessor shall have the right (a) to withhold consent, if
          reasonable; (b) to grant consent; or (c) if the transfer is a sublease
          of the premises or an assignment of this Lease, to terminate this
          Lease as effective date of such sublease or assignment, in which case
          Lessor may elect to enter into a direct lease with a proposed assignee
          or sublessee.

13.  DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.

     13.1 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
          shall constitute a material default and breach of this lease by
          Lessee:

          (a)  The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Less.

          (b)  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
               payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due,
               where such failure shall continue for a period of three days
               after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee.

          (c)  The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
               conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
               performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above,
               where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after
               written notice hereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however,
               that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than 30
               days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not
               be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within
               said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure
               to completion.

          (d)  (i) The making by Lessee of any general assignment, or general
               arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or
               against Lessee of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt
               or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law
               relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed
               against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days; (iii) the
               appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
               substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or
               of Lessee's interest in this Lease, here possession not restored
               to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or
               other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
               located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease,
               where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days.

     13.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by
          Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or
          demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or
          remedy, which Lessor may have by reason of such default or breach:

          a)   Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
               lawful means, in which Case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee
               shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor.
               In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all
               damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default
               including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession

                                       9
<PAGE>

               of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
               renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's
               fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at
               the time of award by the court having jurisdiction that Lessee
               proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing
               commission paid by Lessor pursuant to Article 15 applicable to
               the unexpired term the Premises, Lessor shall have the option of
               (I) retaking possession of the Premises and recovering from
               Lessee the amount specified in this Paragraph 13.2(a),or (II)
               proceeding under Paragraph 13.2(b).

          b)   Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this lease
               shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have
               abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to
               enforce all of Lessor's right and remedies under this Lease,
               including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due
               hereunder.

          c)   Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
               under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.

     13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails
          to perform obligations required of Lessor fails to perform obligations
          required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later
          than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to
          the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
          Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished
          to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform
          such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's
          obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for
          performance then lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences
          performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently
          prosecutes the same to completion.

     13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
          to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to
          incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which
          will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are
          not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
          which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
          deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or
          any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or
          Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due,
          Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 10% of such overdue
          amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a
          fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason
          of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor
          shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect
          to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of
          other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late
          charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3)
          consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become
          due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly,
          notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

                                       10

14.  CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
     power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
     power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
     terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority
     takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the
     floor area of the improvements on the premises, or more than 25% of the
     land area of the Premises which is not occupied by any improvements, is
     taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in
     writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee
     written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten
     (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession)
     terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such
     possession . If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the
     foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
     portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in
     the proportion that the floor area has taken bears to the total floor area
     of the building situated on the Premises. Any award for the taking of all
     or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any
     payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the
     property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
     diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as
     severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
     award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and removable
     personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
     of such condemnation, Lessor shall, to the extent of severance damages
     received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage
     to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that
     Lessee has been reimbursed therefore by the condemning authority. Lessee
     shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to
     complete such repair.

15.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

               unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating

               as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to
               which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and
               (II) acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any
               uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying
               such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be
               conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
               encumbrancer of the Premises.

          b)   Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall
               be conclusive upon Lessee (I) that this Lease is in full force
               and effect, without modification except as may be represented by
               Lessor, (II) that there are no uncured defaults in Lessor's
               performance, and (III) that not more than one month's rent has
               been paid in advance.

<PAGE>

          c)   If Lessor desires to finance or refinance the Premises, or any
               part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender
               designated by Lessor such financial statement of Lessee as may be
               reasonably required by such lender. Such statements shall include
               the past three years" financial statements of Lessee. All such
               financial statements shall be received by Lessor in confidence
               and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

     15.2 Lessor's Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
          the owner or owners at\the time in question of the fee title or a
          lessee's interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as
          expressed provided in Paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of
          such title or interest, Lessor herein named (and in case of any
          subsequent transfers the then grantor) shall be relieved from and
          after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Lessor's
          obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the
          hands of lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in
          which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The
          obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall,
          subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns,
          only during their respective periods of ownership.

     15.3 Severability. The invalidity of any provision of the Lease as
          determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way
          affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

     15.4 Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided,
          any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at 10%
          per annum from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse
          or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease.

          by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.

     15.8 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
          be in writing and may be served personally or by regular mail,
          addresses to Lessor and Lessee respectively at the address set for the
          after their signatures at the end of this Lease.

     15.9 Waivers. No Waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
          waiver of any on any other provision. Lessor's consent to or approval
          of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of
          Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The
          acceptance of rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of
          such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

     15.10 Recording. Lessee shall not record this Lease without Lessor's prior
          written consent, and such recordation shall, at the option of Lessor,
          constitute a non-curable default of Lessee hereunder. Either party

                                       12
<PAGE>

          shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to

          and indemnity Lessor against all damages incurred by Lessor from any
          delay by Lessee in vacating the Premises. If Lessee does not vacate
          the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
          and Lessor thereafter accepts rend from Lessee, Lessee's occupancy of
          the Premises shall be "month-to-month " tenancy, subject to all of the
          terms of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except
          that the rent shall be increased by twenty percent (20%).

     15.12 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
          exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other
          remedies at law or in equity.

          provisions of Paragraph 15.2, this Lease shall bind the parties, their
          personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be
          governed by the laws of the state of California.

     15.15 Subordination.

          a)   This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any
               ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation
               for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of
               which the Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on
               the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications,
               consolidations, replacements and extensions of thereof.
               Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet
               possession of the premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is
               not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the rent and
               observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless
               this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any
               mortgages, trust or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease
               prior to the lien of it's mortgage, deed of trust or ground
               lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this
               Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or
               ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to
               the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the
               date of recording thereof.

          b)   Lessee agrees to execute any document required to effectuate such

          action to enforce the terms hereof to declare rights hereunder, the
          prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be

     15.19 Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of the Lease by Lessee, or a
          mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
          the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or
          may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor or
          any or all of subtenancies.

     15.20 Corporate Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, each individual
          executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and
          warrants that he is duty authorized to execute and deliver this Lease
          on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted
          resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation or in

          of such buildings and grounds, including parking areas, landscaped
          areas, walkways and other facilities provided for the common use and
          convenience of other occupants. Notice of such rules and regulations

          above or below ground storage tanks. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          Lessee may without prior written permission of Lessor keep and use
          ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be sued by
          Lessee incidental to Lessee's normal course of business so long as
          such use does not require permits or permissions of any governmental
          authority, is in full compliance with all applicable law, and does not
          expose persons, the Premises or neighboring properties to meaningful
          risk of injury, contamination, or damage, or expose Lessor to any
          liability therefore. If hazardous or toxic material activity related
          to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises, whether or not permitted by
          Lessor or by law, results in injury, contamination, or damage to
          persons or the Premises or liability to Lessor (a " Hazardous Event"),
          Lessee shall at Lessee's sole cost and expense take all actions
          necessary, subject to Lessor's prior approval, to protect persons, the
          Premises and Lessor, and to restore the Premises to their condition
          prior to their condition prior to the Hazardous Event. Lessor reserves
          the right subsequent to the Hazardous Event to take such actions at
          Lessee's sole cost and expense, which Lessor in Lessor's sole
          discretion deems necessary or convenient to protect persons, the
          Premises, and Lessor, any such actions or failure to act shall not
          subject Lessor to any liability or release Lessee of Liability or
          responsibility hereunder or at law. Lessee shall indemnify, defend,
          and hold harmless Lessor, its officers, agents, employees, lenders,
          mortgagees, and ground Lessors from any and all costs, expenses,
          losses, actions, suits, claims, permits, attorneys and consultants
          fees, loss of rents, diminution in value, judgments, sentences,
          penalties, takings, and any other liability whatsoever in connection
          with or related to a Hazardous Event. Lessee's covenants, warranties
          and indemnities contained herein shall expressly survive the
          expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

     15.24 Lessee has inspected the Premises and agrees to accept it in its
          existing condition.

     15.25 Lessee is aware of and shall obtain at Lessee's sole cost and expense
          a City of Industry Use Permit and comply with requirements of the Los
          Angeles County Fire Department.

     broker or any agents or employees as to the legal sufficiency, legal
     effect, or tax consequences of this Lease or the transaction relating
     thereto. Lessee represents and acknowledges that Lessee has made its own
     independent investigation and sought its own independent council regarding
     this Lease and the transaction relating thereto.

Dear Matthew M. Monroe:
This  letter  of  understanding  is  to  confirm  our  discussions regarding the
agreement  between  DRM,  Inc.  (DRM)  and subsidiaries (RMC Group, Inc. and RMC
Group  Canada,  Ltd.)  and  Peoplesway.Com,  Inc.  (Peoplesway).

DRM  assigns  Peoplesway  as  its  exclusive worldwide sales and marketing agent
effective  January  1, 2002.  We feel this agreement will be mutually beneficial
to  DRM  and  Peoplesway  to  increase  the  DRM  product line's presence in the
marketplace  and  sales  and  revenues  for  Peoplesway.

Peoplesway  agrees  to  make its best effort to market the DRM product lines and
other  product lines that DRM may elect to offer through alliances and affiliate
programs.  Peoplesway  will  also  market  and maintain the sites of site owners
within  the  multi-eNetwork  on  its  server.  This  will  include acquiring all
necessary equipment, programming and staff to necessary to provide this service.
In  addition to products, DRM will also provide warehouse space (aprox. 1900 sq.
ft.),  office  space  (approx.  2600  sq.  ft.), customer service, warehouse and
management  personnel,  supplies  and  other  items  necessary  to  promote  the
products.

Each  subsidiary  of  DRM  will  also  invoice  Peoplesway  for all services and
personnel  provided on their behalf at actual costs, plus a management fee of 3%
of  Product  Volume.

The  product  cost will be invoiced to Peoplesway at cost plus 10%.  The invoice
will  be  submitted  based  on  the  cost  of  the  product  sold  each  month.
This  agreement  will  be  reviewed  every  12  months  and  revised  as needed.

We  are  excited  about the opportunity for growth by both our companies through
our  internet  sales  and  marketing agreement.  If we can be of any assistance,
please  do  not  hesitate  to  contact  us.
Regards,

R.  H.  Smtih
Vice  President  /  Secretary
