MUTUAL RESCISSION AGREEMENT
This
MUTUAL RESCISSION
AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
October 14, 2004, by and between
NuWay Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("NMED"); Eduardo A. Ruiz, an individual
residing in Florida ("E-RUIZ"); Luis A.
Ruiz, an individual residing in Florida
("L-RUIZ");
and Premium Medical
Group,
Inc., a Florida corporation ("PREMIUM
MEDICAL GROUP"). In this Agreement, E-Ruiz
and L-Ruiz are collectively referred to as
"PMG SHAREHOLDERS".
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Parties entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement as of
January
30, 2004 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
whereby NMED agreed to purchase one hundred
percent of the issued and outstanding stock (the "PMG SHARES") of Premium
Medical Group, a medical supply company, from L-Ruiz and E-Ruiz (the
"TRANSACTION"), with the effect to make
Premium Medical Group a wholly owned
subsidiary of NMED;
WHEREAS,
in exchange for the PMG Shares, the PMG Shareholders were
entitled to receive from NMED 30,000,000 shares of NMED's common stock (the
"NMED SHARES"), with a right to receive additional shares (or have shares
subtracted from the 30,000,000 amount) depending on the revenue
generated by
Premium Medical Group during the one year following the closing of the
Transaction;
WHEREAS,
a condition
precedent to each
party's obligation
to close the
Transaction was the delivery of the PMG Shares to NMED and the
NMED Shares to
the Premium Medical Group shareholders
(E-Ruiz and L-Ruiz),
which condition was
never met in that neither party delivered
the required share certificates;
WHEREAS,
subsequent to the
Transaction date, Premium Medical Group failed
to engage an auditor to perform an audit of
its books and records in accordance
with the requirements of Form 8-K, Item 7,
as then in effect, and
NMED did not
have the financial resources to pay for
such engagement, and
thus the audit was
never performed, and the amended Form 8-K
was never filed;
WHEREAS,
the Parties never fully consummated the Transaction, in that, in
addition to the above, the Parties never
consolidated
their operations, NMED
never appointed management or otherwise
managed the affairs of
Premium Medical
Group, and NMED never exercised any
rights or powers (or received any benefits)
due a shareholder of a corporation; and
WHEREAS,
given the foregoing,
the Parties have
determined that it is
in
the best interest of the Parties mutually
to rescind the Purchase Agreement and
return the Parties to their respective
positions prior to the Transaction.
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing and
of the covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties
hereinafter contained, and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, NMED, the PMG Shareholders, and Premium Medical Group agree as
follows:
