furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement, Versa
Card issued 18,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $.001 to MGL
originally evidenced by certificate 3553 dated November 27, 2007 (the “Original Acquisition

certificate 3724 dated September 19, 2008, and 7,592,000 Original Acquisition
Shares are evidenced by certificate 3728 dated October 15,
2008. Following the issuance of the Original Acquisition Shares,
Versa Card issued 7,500,000 shares to JK evidenced by certificate 3719 dated
September 8, 2008; 2,000,000 shares to Celebrity Foods, Inc. (“CFI”) evidenced by
certificate 3718 dated September 8, 2008; and 500,000 shares to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
(“Xxxxxxx”) evidenced by
certificate 3722 dated September 8, 2008; (the “Additional

The
parties desire to rescind the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition
Agreement, by (a) Versa Card returning to MGL all of the capital stock of
FVS, (b) JK returning to Versa 16,925,334 Original Acquisition Shares
evidenced by certificates 3724 and 3728 (the “JK Tendered Shares”) and
retaining 408,000 Original Acquisition Shares currently held in street name (the
“JK Retained Shares”),
(c) the holders of the Third Party Shares returning to Versa all Third
Party Shares, (d) the holders of the Additional Shares returning to Versa
all Additional Shares to Versa Card, except for 100,000 shares to be retained by
CFI (the “CFI Retained
Shares”), and (e) the execution of this Agreement.
As used
in this Agreement, “Tendered
Shares” means the JK Tendered Shares, the Third Party Shares, and the
Additional Shares minus the
CFI Retained Shares, and “Retained Shares” means the JK
Retained Shares and the CFI Retained Shares. The Tendered Shares are
listed on Exhibit

agent to issue and deliver a certificate evidencing the CFI Retained Shares
promptly after receipt of certificate 3718.

Shares to cancel the Tendered Shares, subject to the issuance of the CFI

(a) Xxxxxxx
hereby resigns as an officer, employee, and director of Versa, and as a member
of any committee of the Board of Directors of which Xxxxxxx is a member,
effective the Effective Date. Xxxxxxx releases Versa of and from any
and all liability or obligation whatsoever for compensation, back pay, benefits,
and other remuneration.
(b) Xxxxxx

5. Resale Limitation. JK and

the weekly trading volume falls below 250,000 shares per week or
(b) the trading market is changed to the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York
Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange. If the Resale
Restriction is violated, Versa Card shall have the right to place a stop
transfer order with the Transfer Agent and cancel a number of Retained Shares
equal to 200% of the number of Retained Shares sold in excess of the Resale
Restriction. Upon request JK and CFI shall provide evidence of

(a) Once
the Retained Shares have been held for 6 months from the original date of
issuance, Versa Card shall fully cooperate the holders of the Retained Shares in
causing the restrictive legends to be removed from the certificates evidencing
the Retained Shares, if and to the extent the holder of such shares is not then
an affiliate of Versa Card and if and when thereafter that such holder is not an
affiliate of Versa Card, Versa Card shall promptly after request fully cooperate
in causing the removal of such restricted legend.
-2-
(b) Neither
Versa Card, nor any Versa Stockholder Releasor, nor any party acting on its or
their behalf, shall initiate any action to cancel, reduce, stop transfer, or
terminate the Retained Shares or to interfere with the lawful disposition of the
Retained Shares in accordance with Rule 144.
(c) Versa
Card covenants that for six (6) months after the Effective Date (the “Protected Period”), Versa
Card shall not effect any reverse stock split, stock consolidation, or any other
corporate reorganization, merger, or similar transaction that would reduce the
total number of outstanding shares of stock of Versa Card or any successor
company on a pro-rata basis (a “Transaction”), except for one
1 for 2 reverse stock split, unless Versa Card shall issue a additional shares
of Common Stock to JK and CFI so that the number of shares of Common Stock held
by JK and CFI immediately following the Transaction is equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock held by JK and CFI immediately before such Transaction
(the “Gross
Up”). For clarity, the Gross Up shall not apply to the initial
Transaction during the Protected Period, but would apply to any subsequent
Transaction during the Protected Period. The Gross Up shall not apply
after the Protected Period. If after, or in connection with, the
initial Transaction during the Protected Period, Versa issues to Hamouth or any
affiliate of Hamouth additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible
into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for, Common Stock (“Securities”), Versa shall
make a written irrevocable offer to issue a proportional number of Securities to
JK and CFI on the same terms and conditions that such Securities were offered to
Hamouth or an affiliate of Hamouth. JK and CFI shall have 30 days

Hamouth to accept the offer.
