Langley, Jr. RESCISSION AGREEMENT (THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS RELEASES AND WAIVERS OF LEGAL RIGHTS) THIS RESCISSION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made as of this 22nd day of August, 2003, by and between: RHL MANAGEMENT, INC. a Nevada corporation, with its principal office located at 8233 Roxbury Road, Los Angeles, California 34711 (hereinafter referred to as "RHL"); AND O'DWYER MANAGEMENT, INC., a Florida corporation, with its principal office located at 700 Almond Street, Clermont, Florida 14711 (hereinafter referred to as "O'Dwyer") WITNESSETH THAT: WHEREAS, on or about March 19, 2003, RHL and O'Dwyer (hereinafter referred to collectively as "the parties") entered into a certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2003 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which O'Dwyer purchased from RHL 4,920,000 shares of the Common Stock of Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the "Shares"), and in consideration for the execution and delivery to RHL a promissory note from O'Dwyer, in the principal amount of $7,970,400 (the "Note"), which constituted all of the consideration for the purchase of the Shares (the transaction effected by the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Note is hereinafter referred to as the "O'Dwyer Transaction"); and WHEREAS, RHL's president and sole shareholder is Richard H. Langley; WHEREAS, RHL had initially obtained the Shares in an exchange agreement between ProHealth Medical Technologies, Inc., a reporting company under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with no active business, and the two shareholders (RHL and an individual named Lawrence Lee) of Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation, that had previously obtained the rights to valuable intellectual property; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the O'Dwyer Transaction was to divest RHL of its holdings in ProHealth Medical Technologies (renamed Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. after the merger, hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "ADNAS"); WHEREAS, potential investors believe that RHL's continued involvement with the Company could cause a negative perception due to RHL's previous administrative matter with the Securities and Exchange Commission; 1 WHEREAS, these investors have advised the Company that the O'Dwyer Transaction may not have effectively divested RHL's interest, and that as a condition precedent to any investment, a substantial divestiture would be required, and the parties now wish to rescind and reverse the O'Dwyer Transaction in order to enable RHL to instead effect a substantial divestiture through its sale of the Shares to Lawrence Lee; WHEREAS, the parties have also been advised by tax professionals that the rescission/unwinding of the O'Dwyer Transaction and cancellation of the corresponding promissory note could be accomplished without any significant tax consequences, as neither party recognized any economic benefit or detriment from the O'Dwyer Transaction, and the result of such rescission and cancellation would place the parties in their respective positions as existing prior to the O'Dwyer Transaction; and WHEREAS, the parties hereby wish to rescind the O'Dwyer Transaction and cancel the Note, with such rescission and cancellation to be effective ab initio; (i.e., as of March 19, 2003).
