MUTUAL RESCISSION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
THIS
MUTUAL RESCISSION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
(the
“Rescission Agreement”),
is made
and entered into March 12, 2007, by and among Edulink, Inc., a Nevada
corporation with its principal place of business located at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Edulink"); a majority of Edulink shareholders
listed on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Edulink
Shareholders”); Mega Media Group, Inc., a New York Corporation with its
principal place of business located at 000 Xxxxxxxx, 0xx
Xxxxx,
Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
("Mega
Media”) and the Mega Media shareholders listed on Schedule B attached hereto and
made a part hereof (“MM Shareholders”) (collectively, Mega Media and the MM
Shareholders shall be known as the “MM Group”).
Premises
A. Pursuant
to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange by and among Edulink
and the MM Group dated August 10, 2006 (the "Exchange Agreement"), which closed
on August 11, 2006 (the “Effective Time”), Edulink acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Mega Media and Mega Media became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Edulink (the “Reverse Merger”). No shares of Edulink were issued
to the MM Group.
B. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Exchange Agreement, this Rescission
Agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Exchange Agreement. Any
capitalized term used herein and not defined herein shall have the same meaning
ascribed to such term in the Exchange Agreement.
C. Contemporaneously
with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, certain Edulink shareholders
listed on Schedule B attached hereto and made a part hereof delivered to the
MM
Group duly executed irrevocable proxies.
D. On
or
about August 28, 2006 (the “Suspension Date”), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) suspended trading of Edulink's common stock because Edulink
was
delinquent in filing its 1934 Exchange Act filings for several years prior
to
the Reverse Merger (the “Trading Suspension”). After the Suspension Date,
Edulink's prior management disclosed for the first time to Mega Media and
Edulink's new executive officers and directors that there was an outstanding
comment letter from the SEC issued prior to the Merger that warned of probable
suspension of trading. As a consequence of the Trading Suspension and draining
much of its resources to bring all of Edulink’s filings current, Mega Media has
not been able to carry out its business plan and cannot effectively do so while
Edulink still allocates its personnel and financial resources to matters
relating to ongoing filings required by the SEC.
1
E. The
Board
of Directors of each of Edulink and Mega Media have each mutually agreed to
and
determined that is fair to and in the best interests of their respective
corporations and shareholders to rescind the Exchange Agreement and unwind
the
Reverse Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby as if they never
occurred, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Rescission Agreement.
F. A
majority of each of the Edulink shareholders and MM Shareholders has approved
by
written consent this Rescission Agreement and the transactions contemplated
and
described hereby and thereby, including without limitation to rescind the
Exchange Agreement and unwind the Reverse Merger and the transactions
contemplated thereby as if they never occurred, upon the terms and subject
to
the conditions set forth in this Rescission Agreement.
G. Effective
ab
initio,
and
subject to the terms set forth herein, each of Edulink, Edulink Shareholders,
Mega Media and the MM Shareholders mutually agree to rescind the Exchange
Agreement and unwind the Reverse Merger and the transactions contemplated
thereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Rescission Agreement.
