Corporation; and,

         WHEREAS,  the Corporation desires to create a series of Preferred Stock
designated  as Series D  Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the  "Series D Preferred
Stock") by filing a Certificate of Designation of the Rights and  Preferences of
the Series A Preferred  Stock for filing with the Nevada  Secretary  of State to
set forth the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock.

         RESOLVED,   the  Board  (as  defined  below)  hereby   establishes  and

Stock are set forth in this Resolution.

         1.  Dividend Rate and Rights.  Holders of the Series D Preferred  Stock

                  2.1. Right to Convert.  Each share of Series D Preferred Stock
shall be convertible,  at the option of the holder thereof and subject to notice
requirements  of paragraph  2.2, at any time after the issuance of such share of
Series D Preferred  Stock,  into such number of shares of Common  Stock equal to
the quotient  obtained by dividing the Liquidation  Price (as defined in Section
3.1) by the Conversion Price (as defined  herein).  For purposes of this Section
2.1, the following definitions shall apply:

<PAGE>

                  A.  "Conversion  Price" shall be 50% of the average of the Per
Share Market  Values during the three (3) Trading Days  immediately  preceding a
Conversion Date.

                  B. "Exchange  Act" means the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
         as amended.

                  C. "Per Share Market Value" means on any  particular  date (a)
the closing bid price per share of Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin
Board or on such Subsequent  Market on which the shares of Common Stock are then
listed or quoted,  or if there is no such price on such date,  then the  closing
bid price on the OTC  Bulletin  Board or on such  Subsequent  Market on the date
nearest  preceding  such date, or (b) if the shares of Common Stock are not then
listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or a Subsequent  Market,  the closing
bid  price  for a share of  Common  Stock  in the  over-the-counter  market,  as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau  Incorporated or similar  organization
or agency  succeeding  to its  functions  of  reporting  prices) at the close of
business  on such  date,  or (c) if the  shares  of  Common  Stock  are not then
reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar  organization
or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices),  then the average of
the "Pink Sheet"  quotes for the relevant  conversion  period,  as determined in
good faith by the Corporation.

                  D.  "Subsequent  Market"  means the New York  Stock  Exchange,
American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or Nasdaq National Market.

                  E. "Trading Day" means (a) a day on which the shares of Common
Stock are traded on such  Subsequent  Market on which the shares of Common Stock
are then listed or quoted,  or (b) if the shares of Common  Stock are not listed
on a Subsequent  Market, a day on which the shares of Common Stock are traded in
the  over-the-counter  market,  as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (c) if
the shares of Common  Stock are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin  Board,  a day on
which the shares of Common  Stock are quoted in the  over-the-counter  market as
reported  by  the  National  Quotation  Bureau   Incorporated  (or  any  similar
organization or agency succeeding its functions of reporting prices);  provided,
however,  that in the event  that the  shares of Common  Stock are not listed or
quoted as set forth in (a), (b) and (c) hereof,  then Trading Day shall mean any
day except Saturday,  Sunday and any day which shall be a legal holiday or a day
on which  banking  institutions  in the State of New York or State of California
are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.

         2.2. Notice of Conversion.  Each Series D Preferred  Stock  stockholder
who desires to convert  into the  Corporation's  Common Stock must provide a ten
(10) day written notice to the  Corporation of its intent to convert one or more
shares of Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  The  Corporation  may, in
its sole  discretion,  waive  the  written  notice  requirement  and  allow  the
immediate exercise of the right to convert.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         2.3.  Mechanics of  Conversion.  No  fractional  shares of Common Stock
shall be issued upon  conversion  of Series D Preferred  Stock and the number of
shares of Common  Stock to be issued  shall be  determined  by  rounding  to the
nearest  whole  share (a half  share  being  treated  as a full  share  for this
purpose).  Such conversion  shall be determined on the basis of the total number
of shares of Series D Preferred  Stock the holder is at the time converting into
Common  Stock and such  rounding  shall  apply to the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon aggregate conversion. Before any holder shall be entitled to
convert, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates  representing Series
D  Preferred  Stock to be  converted,  duly  endorsed or  accompanied  by proper
instruments  of transfer,  at the office of the  Corporation  or of any transfer
agent,  and shall given written notice to the Corporation at such office that he
elects to  convert  the same.  The  Corporation  shall,  as soon as  practicable
thereafter,  issue a  certificate  or  certificates  for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled.  The  Corporation  shall, as
soon as practicable after delivery of such  certificates,  or such agreement and
indemnification  in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed  certificate,  issue
and  deliver  to such  holder  of  Series D  Preferred  Stock a  certificate  or
certificates  for the number of shares of Common  Stock to which such  holder is
entitled  as  aforesaid  and a check  payable to the holder in the amount of any
cash amounts  payable as the result of a conversion  into  fractional  shares of
Common  Stock.  Such  conversion  shall be deemed to have been made  immediately
prior to the close of  business on the date of such  surrender  of the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock to be converted.

         2.4.  Adjustments to Conversion  Price - Merger or  Reorganization.  In
case of any  consolidation  or  merger of the  Corporation  as a result of which
holders of Common Stock become  entitled to receive other stock or securities or
property, or in case of any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Corporation to another  corporation,  the Corporation  shall mail to each
holder of  Series D  Preferred  Stock at least  thirty  (30)  days  prior to the
consummation of such event a notice thereof, and each such holder shall have the
option to either (i) convert such  holder's  shares of Series D Preferred  Stock
into shares of Common Stock  pursuant to this Section 2 and  thereafter  receive
the number of shares of stock or other  securities or property to which a holder
of the  number of shares of Common  Stock of the  Corporation  deliverable  upon
conversion  of such Series D Preferred  Stock would have been entitled upon such
consolidation,  merger or  conveyance,  or (ii) exercise  such  holder's  rights
pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

         2.5. No  Impairment.  The  Corporation  will not, by  amendment  of its
Articles of  Incorporation,  or through any  reorganization  transfer of assets,
consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue or sale of  securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation,  but will at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section  2 and in the  taking  of  all  such  action  as  may  be  necessary  or
appropriate  in order to protect  the  Conversion  Rights of the  holders of the
Series D Preferred Stock against impairment.

         2.6.  Certificate  as to  Adjustments.  Upon  the  occurrence  of  each
adjustment or  readjustment  of the  Conversion  Price of the Series D Preferred
Stock pursuant to this Section 2, the  Corporation at its expense shall promptly
compute such  adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish to each holder of Series D Preferred  Stock a certificate  setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment  and the calculation on which such adjustment or

                                       3
<PAGE>

readjustment is based.  The Corporation  shall,  upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Series D Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished
to such  holder  a like  certificate  setting  forth  (i) such  adjustments  and
readjustments,  and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if
any, of other  property  which at the time would be received upon the conversion
of the Series D Preferred Stock.

         2.7.  Notices  of  Record  Date.  In the  event  of any  taking  by the
Corporation  of a record  of the  holders  of any  class of  securities  for the
purpose of  determining  the  holders  thereof  who are  entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in
previous  quarter) or other  distribution,  the  Corporation  shall mail to each
holder of  Series D  Preferred  Stock at least  ten (10) days  prior to the date
specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

         2.8. Common Stock Reserved.  The Corporation  shall take such action as
is necessary to amend the Articles of  Incorporation to authorize such number of
shares of Common  Stock as shall from time to time be  sufficient  to effect (a)
conversion  of the Series D Preferred  Stock,  and (b)  issuance of Common Stock
pursuant to any outstanding  option,  warrant, or other rights to acquire Common
Stock.

         3. Liquidation Preference.

         3.1. In the event of any liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation,  whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"),  the assets of
the  Corporation  available  for  distribution  to  its  stockholders  shall  be
distributed as follows:

                  A. The  holders  of the  Series  D  Preferred  Stock  shall be
entitled to receive, prior to the holders of the other series of Preferred Stock
and prior and in preference to any  distribution  of the assets or surplus funds
of  the  Corporation  to the  holders  of  any  other  shares  of  stock  of the
corporation by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount equal to $0.01
per share  (the  "Liquidation  Price")  with  respect  to each share of Series D
Preferred  Stock,  plus all declared but unpaid  dividends  with respect to such
share.

                  B. If upon  occurrence of a  Liquidation  the assets and funds
thus  distributed  among the  holders of the Series D  Preferred  Stock shall be
insufficient  to permit  the  payment to such  holders of the full  preferential
amount,  then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation  legally  available
for  distribution  shall  be  distributed  among  the  holders  of the  Series D
Preferred  Stock  ratably in  proportion to the full amounts to which they would
otherwise be respectively entitled.

                  C. After  payment of the full amounts to the holders of Series
D Preferred  Stock as set forth above in paragraph (1), any remaining  assets of
the  Corporation  shall be distributed  pro rata to the holders of the Preferred
Stock and Common Stock (in the case of the Preferred Stock, on an "as converted"
basis into Common Stock).

         3.2. For purposes of this Section 3, a Liquidation  shall not be deemed
to include (i) the  acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of
any  transaction  or  series  of  related   transactions   (including,   without
limitation, any reorganization,  merger or consolidation) and (ii) a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation,  unless the Corporation's

                                       4
<PAGE>

stockholders of record as constituted  immediately  prior to such acquisition or
sale will,  immediately  after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities
issued as consideration for the Corporation's  acquisition or sale or otherwise)
hold at least  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  voting  power of the  surviving  or
acquiring entity.

         3.3.  If any of the  assets of the  Corporation  are to be  distributed
other  than in cash under this  Section  3, then the board of  directors  of the
Corporation shall promptly engage independent  competent appraisers to determine
the value of the assets to be distributed  to the holders of Preferred  Stock or
Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser's valuation,
give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock of the appraiser's valuation.

         4. Voting Rights.  Except as otherwise  required by law, the holders of
Series D Preferred  Stock and the  holders of Common  Stock shall be entitled to
notice  of any  stockholders'  meeting  and to vote as a single  class  upon any
matter submitted to the  stockholders for a vote as follows:  (i) the holders of
Series D Preferred  Stock shall have such  number of votes as is  determined  by
multiplying  (a) the number of shares of Series D  Preferred  Stock held by such
holder,  (b) 0.0000004,  and (c) the number of issued and outstanding  shares of
the  Corporation's  Common  Stock  on  a  Fully-Diluted  Basis  (as  hereinafter
defined),  as of the record  date for the vote,  or, if no such  record  date is
established,  as of the  date  such  vote is  taken or any  written  consent  of
stockholders  is solicited;  and (ii) the holders of Common Stock shall have one
vote per share of Common Stock held as of such date. "Fully-Diluted Basis" shall
mean that the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation's
Common  Stock  shall be  calculated  to include  (a) the shares of Common  Stock
issuable upon  exercise  and/or  conversion  of all of the following  securities
(collectively,  "Common Stock  Equivalents"):  all  outstanding  (a)  securities
convertible  into  or  exchangeable  for  Common  Stock,  whether  or  not  then
convertible  or  exchangeable  (collectively,   "Convertible  Securities"),  (b)
subscriptions,  rights, options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock,
whether or not then exercisable  (collectively,  "Options"),  and (c) securities
convertible  into or  exchangeable  or  exercisable  for Options or  Convertible
Securities and any such underlying Options and/or Convertible Securities.

         5. Reissuance.  No share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock acquired
by the  Corporation  by reason of conversion  or otherwise  shall be reissued as
Series D Preferred  Stock,  and all such shares  thereafter shall be returned to
the  status  of  undesignated  and  unissued  shares of  Preferred  Stock of the
Corporation.

         6. Notices. Unless otherwise specified in the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, all notices or communications  given hereunder shall be
in writing and, if to the Corporation, shall be delivered to it as its principal
executive  offices,  and if to any holder of Series D Preferred Stock,  shall be
delivered  to it at  its  address  as it  appears  on  the  stock  books  of the
Corporation.

         This Rescission Agreement ("Rescission  Agreement") is made and entered

Inc.,  a Nevada  corporation  (the  "Company"),  D&R Crane,  Inc.,  a California
corporation (the "Target"), Jody R. Regan and Dawnelle Patrick, (each a "Selling
Stockholder" and, collectively, the "Selling Stockholders").

                                    RECITALS

         A. Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase  Agreement  dated as of July
21, 2004 (the  "Agreement"),  the  Selling  Stockholders  collectively  sold 400
shares of common  stock of the Target  (the  "Target  Shares") to the Company in
exchange  for  the  issuance  by the  Company  of an  aggregate  of  100,000,000
"pre-split"  shares (the "Pre-Split  Common Shares") of common stock,  par value
$0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and 5,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock of the Company (the "Series C Shares") to the Selling Stockholders.

         B. On October 18,  2004,  the  Company  conducted a 1,000 for 1 reverse
stock split of its Common Stock,  pursuant to which the Pre-Split  Common Shares
were reduced to 100,000 shares (the "Common Shares") of Common Stock.

         C. On October 22, 2004, the Selling Stockholders converted the Series C
Preferred  Shares into an  aggregate  of  500,000,000  shares  (the  "Conversion
Shares")  of Common  Stock.  The  Common  Shares and the  Conversion  Shares are
collectively referred to as the "Company Shares").

         D. The Company,  the Target,  and the Selling  Stockholders now wish to
formally rescind the Agreement and the transactions thereunder, on the terms and
subject to the conditions as contained in this Rescission Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1.  Incorporation  of  Recitals.  The  foregoing  Recitals  are  herein
incorporated by this reference.

         2. Rescission of Agreement.

                  2.1 The  Company,  the Target,  and the  Selling  Stockholders
         hereby  mutually  agree to rescind the  Agreement and void it ab initio
         and to rescind the Company Shares and void and cancel them ab initio.

                  2.2 The  Selling  Stockholders  will  return the  certificates
         evidencing  the  Company  Shares to the  Company's  transfer  agent for
         cancellation   accompanied   with  stock   assignments   separate  from
         certificate executed by each Selling  Stockholder,  signature medallion
         guaranteed, transferring the Company Shares to the Company.

                  2.3 The Company will return the certificates  representing the
         Target Shares to the Selling  Stockholders,  along with executed  stock
         powers, in form and substance  satisfactory to the Selling Stockholders
         and the Target, for purposes of assigning and transferring all of their
         right, title and interest in and to the Target Shares.

                  2.4 Dawnelle Patrick shall resign as a director and as an
         officer of the Company.

                  2.5  Each  party  hereto  will,  before,  at,  and  after  the
         Effective  Date,  execute and deliver  such  instruments  and take such
         other  actions as the other party or  parties,  as the case may be, may
         reasonably  require in order to carry out the intent of this Rescission
         Agreement.  Without  limiting the generality of the  foregoing,  at any
         time after the  Closing,  at the  request of the  Company,  and without
         further consideration, the Target and the Selling Stockholders (a) will
         execute and deliver such  instruments  of sale,  transfer,  conveyance,
         assignment  and  confirmation  and take such  action as the Company may
         reasonably  deem  necessary or  desirable in order to more  effectively
         transfer,   convey  and  assign  the  Target   Shares  to  the  Selling
         Stockholders or to cancel the Company Shares, and (b) will execute such
         documents  as and take such action as the Company may  reasonably  deem
         necessary or desirable in order to prepare and file any future  report,
         registration  statement or definitive  proxy statement that the Company
         seeks to file with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or the Securities  Exchange Act of
         1934, as amended.

                  and directors contemplated by this Rescission Agreement.

                  2.7  The  Company   shall   indemnify  and  hold  the  Selling
         Stockholders  and the Target harmless in respect of any and all claims,

                  unforeseen, real or imaginary, alleged or actual, suspected or
                  unsuspected,  known or unknown,  liquidated or non-liquidated,
                  of any kind or nature or description whatsoever,  arising from
                  the beginning of the world through the date of this  Agreement
                  which each of the Company  Parties ever had,  presently  have,
                  may have, or claim or assert to have, or hereafter  have,  may
                  have,  or claim or assert to have,  against  any of the Target
                  Parties,  including, but not limited to, any and all actual or
                  implied  claims,  demands  and  causes  of  action  in any way
                  relating  to the  rights,  duties  and  obligations  under the
                  Agreement (the "Company Released Claims");  provided, however,
                  that this  release  shall not affect the rights of the Company
                  Parties  under this  Rescission  Agreement  or under any other
                  agreement,  certificate  or instrument  executed and delivered
                  pursuant to this Rescission Agreement.

                           2.9.2 The Target  Parties on behalf of themselves and

                  through them, and all persons acting by, through,  under or in

                  each  and  all  of  the  Company  Parties  and  all  of  their

                  known or unknown, liquidated or non-liquidated, of any kind or
                  nature or description  whatsoever,  arising from the beginning
                  of the world through the date of this Agreement  which each of
                  the Target  Parties ever had,  presently  have,  may have,  or
                  claim or assert to have, or hereafter have, may have, or claim
                  or  assert  to  have,  against  any  of the  Company  Parties,
                  including,  but not  limited to, any and all actual or implied
                  claims,  demands  and causes of action in any way  relating to
                  the rights,  duties and  obligations  under the Agreement (the
                  "Target  Released  Claims");   provided,  however,  that  this
                  release  shall not affect  the  rights of the  Target  Parties
                  under this Rescission  Agreement or under any other agreement,
                  certificate or instrument  executed and delivered  pursuant to
                  this Rescission Agreement..

                           2.9.3 The  Company  Parties  and the  Target  Parties
                  (collectively,  the "Parties") acknowledge and understand that
                  hereafter  they may  discover  or  appreciate  claims,  facts,
                  issues or concerns in addition to or different from those that
                  they now know or believe to exist with  respect to the subject
                  matter of this  Agreement  that,  if known or suspected at the
                  time of execution  of this  Agreement,  might have  materially
                  affected  the   settlement   embodied   herein.   The  Parties
                  nevertheless  agree  that the  general  releases  and  waivers
                  described  in  Paragraphs  2.9.1 and 2.9.2  above apply to any
                  such  additional  or  different  claims,   facts,   issues  or
                  concerns.   The  Parties  acknowledge  that  this  release  is
                  intended  to be very  broad and is a  critical  element of the
                  Parties' settlement.

                           2.9.4 It is the  intention  of the  Parties  that the
                  foregoing  general  releases  shall be effective  for use as a
                  protective  bar to all  Company  Released  Claims  and  Target
                  Released  Claims  (collectively,  the  "Released  Claims") and
                  shall  terminate  all  of  the  Parties'  rights,  duties  and
                  obligations, if any, under the Agreement. In furtherance,  and
                  not in  limitation  of such  intention,  the  general  release
                  provided for herein shall be, and shall remain in effect, as a
                  full and complete release, notwithstanding the later discovery
                  or existence of any  additional or different  facts or claims,
                  without limitation.

                           2.9.5  The  Parties  acknowledge  that they have been
                  advised by their  respective  attorneys  and are familiar with
                  and understand the provisions of California Civil Code Section
                  1542 as well as all provisions of federal law and Nevada state
                  law that may provide  any right or benefit  that is similar in
                  any material  respect to  California  Civil Code Section 1542,
                  which provides as follows:

                                       4
<PAGE>

                           A general release does not extend to claims which the
                           creditor  does  not know or  suspect  to exist in his
                           favor at the time of executing the release,  which if
                           known  by  him  must  have  materially  affected  his
                           settlement with the debtor.

                           2.9.6 The Parties  hereby  voluntarily  and expressly
                  waive and  relinquish  each and every  right or benefit  which
                  they may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 and all
                  provisions  of  federal  law and  Nevada  state  law  that may
                  provide any right or benefit  that is similar in any  material
                  respect to the rights and benefits  afforded under  California
                  Civil Code  Section  1542,  to the full  extent  that they may
                  lawfully waive such rights. The Parties  acknowledge that they
                  may hereafter  discover facts in addition to or different from
                  those  which  they  presently  know  or  believe  to  be  true
                  regarding  the  subject  matter of the  dispute  and the other
                  matters herein  released,  but agree that they have taken that
                  possibility into account and that it is their intention hereby
                  to fully,  finally and forever settle and release the matters,
                  disputes and differences,  now known or unknown,  suspected or
                  unsuspected,  arising  out of or in any  way  relating  to the
                  matters released pursuant to this Agreement,  and to terminate
                  any and all  rights,  duties and  obligations  of the  Parties
                  under the Agreement.

                           2.9.7  The  Parties  hereto   acknowledge  that  they
                  expressly understand that this Agreement and the settlement it
                  represents  (a) is  entered  into  solely  for the  purpose of
                  avoiding any possible future expenses, burdens or distractions
                  of litigation  and (b) in no way  constitutes  an admission by
                  any  party  hereto of any  liability  of any kind to any other
                  party or of any  wrongdoing on the part of any of the Parties.
                  In  this  connection,   the  Parties   specifically  deny  any
                  liability in  connection  with any claims which have been made
                  or could have been made,  or which are the subject  matter of,
                  or arise from, or are connected directly or indirectly with or
                  related in any way to the rights, duties and obligations under
                  the Blake  Agreements,  including,  but not  limited  to,  any
                  violation  of any federal or state law  (whether  statutory or
                  common law),  rule or regulation,  and the Parties deny that a
                  violation  of any  such  law,  rule  or  regulation  has  ever
                  occurred.

                  2.10  From  time  to  time  hereafter,   and  without  further
         consideration,  each party  agrees to execute  and  deliver  such other
         instruments  of transfer and take such other actions as the other party
         may  reasonably  request  in  order  to more  effectively  reflect  the
         rescission  of the  transactions  contemplated  by the Agreement and to
         void it ab initio.
..
         3.  MISCELLANEOUS.

                  3.1 Successors and Assigns.  The rights and obligations of the
         parties under this Rescission Agreement shall not be assignable without
         the  written  consent  of the  Company,  the  Target,  and the  Selling
         Stockholders  and any such  purported  assignment  with  their  written
         consent shall be void ab initio. Except as otherwise expressly provided
         herein,  all  covenants  and  agreements  contained in this  Rescission
         Agreement  by or on behalf of any of the  parties  hereto will bind and
         inure to the benefit of the  respective  successors  and assigns of the
         parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

                  3.2 Severability.  Whenever  possible,  each provision of this
         Rescission  Agreement  will  be  interpreted  in such  manner  as to be
         effective and valid under  applicable law, but if any provision of this
         Rescission  Agreement  is held to be  prohibited  by or  invalid  under
         applicable  law, such provision will be ineffective  only to the extent
         of such prohibition or invalidity,  without  invalidating the remainder
         of this Rescission Agreement or the other documents.

                  3.3 Counterparts. This Rescission Agreement may be executed in
         two or more  counterparts,  any  one of  which  need  not  contain  the
         signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts when taken
         together will constitute one and the same agreement.

                  3.4 Litigation  Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding
         is brought for the enforcement of this Rescission Agreement, or because
         of  an  alleged  dispute,  breach,  default,  or  misrepresentation  in
         connection  with  any of the  provisions  thereof,  the  successful  or
         prevailing  party or parties  shall be entitled  to recover  reasonable
         attorneys'  fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding,
         in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

                  3.5 Governing Law;  Jurisdiction of Disputes.  This Rescission
         Agreement  shall be  governed  by and  construed  under the laws of the
         State of Nevada. In the event of any disputes between the parties under
         this Agreement,  the parties agree to litigate the dispute  exclusively
         win the  Federal or state  courts  located in Orange  County,  State of
         California.

                  3.6 Entire Agreement.  This Rescission  Agreement  constitutes
         the entire  agreement and  understanding of the parties with respect to
         the   subject   matter   thereof,   and   supersedes   all   prior  and
         contemporaneous agreements and understandings.
