Humatech Mutual Rescission Agreement






MUTUAL RESCISSION AGREEMENT 




This Mutual Rescission Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into and effective this 23rd day of July, 2003 by and between RAMMSCO, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RAMMSCO”) and Humatech, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Humatech”). RAMMSCO and Humatech shall each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” 




RECITALS 




WHEREAS, RAMMSCO and Humatech entered into a Mining Materials Purchase Agreement dated March 26, 2003 (the “Materials Agreement”), wherein RAMMSCO agreed to sell certain Materials to Humatech at agreed-upon prices (the Materials Payments). The Materials Agreement also contained agreements regarding exclusivity, confidentiality, an option to purchase additional materials, and a right of first refusal; 




WHEREAS, in contemplation of entering into the Materials Agreement, the Parties sought the advice of a tax professional about the taxable impact of the transactions contemplated thereby. Based on the advice received, and specifically the fact that the transactions would not result in a large immediate taxable event for either Party, the Parties executed the Materials Agreement; 




WHEREAS, the Parties have, subsequent to the date of the Materials Agreement, been advised that the tax advice they received prior to executing the Materials Agreement was false, and thus entered into the Materials Agreement based upon a mistake of fact; 




WHEREAS, based on the mistake of fact, the Parties now desire to mutually rescind the Materials Agreement in its entirety and terminate the obligations of either Party arising out of the Materials Agreement, effective back to the date of its execution; 




NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing by any Party hereto, the Parties covenant, promise and agree as follows: 



 

AGREEMENT 

 

1.   The Materials Agreement is rescinded in its entirety by mutual agreement of the Parties as of the date thereof. As a result of the rescission of the Materials Agreement, RAMMSCO agrees to return to Humatech the Agreement Consideration (as defined in the Materials Agreement). Neither Party will have any further obligation to the other Party. 

 

2.   Effective on the date hereof, each Party (“Releasing Party”), and its respective agents, affiliates, divisions, predecessors, successors and assigns, releases the other Party, and its present and former agents, officers, directors, attorneys, and employees, from and against any and all claims, agreements, contracts, covenants, representations, obligations, losses, liabilities, demands and causes of action which it may now or hereafter have or claim to have against that Party, which arises from or is related to Materials Agreement.

3.   Releasing Party acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement applies to all claims that Releasing Party may have against the other Party arising out of, or pertaining to, the Materials Agreement, including, but not limited to, causes of action, injuries, damages, claims for costs or losses to Releasing Party’s person and property, real or personal, whether those injuries, damages, or losses are known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, or patent or latent. Releasing Party agrees not to file any complaints, causes of action, or grievances with any governmental, state or county entity against the other Party arising out of, or pertaining to the Materials Agreement.

Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other Party if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.
