This Mutual Exclusive Supplier Rescission Agreement and Release of all

individual, Make Your Move, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its assignees, and

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.
F. Certain issues have arisen, such that the parties desire not to
proceed 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.
