individual, Make Your Move, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its assignees, and
Viscus Coffee International, Inc., Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Xxxxxxx

following facts:
X. Xxxxx Rolling is an individual and a married man who is the CEO of Make
Your Move, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
B. Make Your Move, Inc. ("MYM") is a publicly owned Nevada corporation
located in Reno, Nevada. MYM originated as DCP, Limited, a Nevada limited
liability company, in 1996, and DCP Limited manufactured and distributed board
games. At the end of the calendar year 2000, MYM's CEO, Xxxxx Rolling, began to
explore the possibility of merging with, or entering into some other type of
business relationship with another business entity that could bring a "high
tech" element to game play.
C. Viscus Coffee International, Inc. is a Delaware corporation ("Viscus"),
located in 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. Viscus is
engaged in the business of developing coffee shops, selling coffee and related
products under the "Viscus" name and xxxx.
D. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx is an individual and an unmarried man who is the
replacement CEO of for Viscus.
E. In or about August, 2001, the principals of MYM and Viscus entered into
negotiations regarding a exclusive supplier agreement for future Viscus coffee
shops. A draft of an "Exclusive Supplier Agreement" was circulated and discussed
which set forth in detail the contemplated exclusive supplier agreement and
arrangement between MYM and Viscus, in which MYM would supply all of the
computers, monitors and related products and also provide the service for all
the high tech equipment associated with the Viscus coffee shops. The "Exclusive
Supplier Agreement " was never finalized or executed by the parties due to
Viscus failing to secure an agreement with Wal*Mart Stores, Inc.

with the exclusive supplier agreement and the parties desire, through this
Agreement, to dissolve and rescind any agreements made between them during the
negotiations pertaining to the written "Exclusive Supplier Agreement." Through
this Agreement, the parties desire to rescind any relationship that may have
arisen between them, and to bring this entire matter to a final conclusion and
settlement to avoid incurring any further costs and expenses incident to the
above-described negotiations. Therefore, the parties each give their full,
complete, and Mutual Release of all Claims to the other, expressly recognizing
that by the making of this Agreement and by its execution, the parties do not
admit liability or wrongdoing of any kind on their part, or on the part of
anyone else.

including, without limitation, the mutual promises and covenants contained
