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 201 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, California 90401 (“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 598 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10012 ("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.

All agreements entered into as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, including but not limited to the Edulink Shareholder’s Irrevocable Proxy’s, are terminated effective ab initio.

2.  Deliveries.Within five (5) business days of the execution of this Rescission Agreement, the following shall occur:
