This Settlement Agreement and General Mutual Release (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 3, 2010, by and between Endeavor Power Corp., a Nevada corporation (“EDVP”), and Andrew I. Telsey, P.C., a Colorado professional corporation (“Telsey”). EDVP and Telsey are sometimes referred to herein as “Party” or “Parties”.


RECITALS


A.

Whereas Telsey has previously rendered certain services to EDVP as legal counsel.  


B.

Whereas, as a result of negotiations between EDVP and Telsey, the Parties have proposed a resolution that they deem to be fair and equitable, and by this Agreement, Telsey and EDVP wish to compromise, resolve, waive and release any and all claims, known or unknown, by and between them as fully set forth herein which exist or may exist today.


C.

Whereas, each party, without admitting any liability whatsoever, enters into this Agreement to settle all disputes, claims and actions between the Parties, as well as to settle any and all events or relationships between the Parties.


AGREEMENT


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged, the Parties covenant and agree as follows:


A.

Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated by reference herein.


B.

Consideration. As full consideration for this Agreement hereunder, Telsey shall receive $10,000, which was directly deposited into Telsey’s operating bank account on July 21, 2010. In exchange, Telsey has agreed to provide the Company with copies of any and all documents prepared and executed for the Company during his time as counsel for the Company.

 

C.

Breach; Action for Damages.  Either Party may seek damages against the other resulting from a breach of this Agreement.


D.

No Waiver.  The waiver by any party of the performance of any covenant, condition, promise or breach shall not invalidate this Agreement, nor shall it waive that Party’s or any other Party’s right to future performance of such covenant, condition or promise.  The failure to pursue or the delay in pursuing any remedy or in insisting upon full performance any covenant, condition or promise shall not prevent a party from later pursuing remedies or insisting upon full performance for the same or similar defaults, breaches or failures.


E.

Notices.  All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall either be delivered in writing personally or sent by overnight mail delivery or sent by certified first class mail, postage prepaid, deposited in the United States mail, and properly addressed to the Party at its address set forth on the signature page hereto, or at any other address that such Party may designate by written notice to the other Parties.  Notice shall be effective immediately upon personal delivery, after five (5) calendar days if made by regular mail or after two (2) business days if given by overnight mail or by facsimile.


F.

Mutual Release.  Telsey, on the one hand, and EDVP, on the other hand, for themselves and their respective predecessors, successors, affiliates, officers, directors, principals, partners, employees, executors, beneficiaries, representatives, agents, assigns, attorneys, and all others claiming by or through them hereby release and forever discharge each other and their respective predecessors, successors, affiliated entities, subsidiaries, parent companies, affiliates, officers, directors, principals, partners, employees, executors, beneficiaries, representatives, agents, assigns, and attorneys from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, claims and demands of any kind, nature or description, known or unknown, of any kind whatsoever, whether based upon a tort, contract or other theory of recovery, and whether for compensatory damages, punitive damages or other relief in law, equity or otherwise, that any of the Parties has ever had, now has, or hereafter can, shall or may have for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the day of the date of this Agreement, including without limitation all claims arising out of or relating to the Services.  


G.

Release of Unknown Claims Arising from Actions.  The Parties acknowledge that they are familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:





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.


The Parties expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefits which they may have under, or which may be conferred upon them by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, as well as under any other similar state or federal statute or common law principle, with respect to all claims alleged, or that could have been alleged, including without limitation any and all claims relating to or arising out of the Services.  The Parties acknowledge that such waiver shall not prevent the Parties from seeking damages against the other resulting from a breach of this Agreement.


H.

Representation of Comprehension of Document, Undertakings and Representations and Warranties.


1.

In entering into this Agreement, the Parties hereto represent that they have read the contents of this Agreement, that the terms of this Agreement have been explained to them by their attorney, that those terms are fully understood and voluntarily accepted by them, that they have relied upon the legal advice of their respective attorney, who is an attorney of their own choosing, and that hereafter no such party shall deny the validity of this Agreement on the ground that he, she or it did not have adequate advice of counsel.


2.

Each party to this Agreement has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Agreement and of all the matters pertaining thereto as it deems necessary.  In entering into this Agreement provided for herein, each party assumes the risk of any misrepresentation, concealment, or mistake.

3.

Each party is aware that it may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the matters related herein.  Nevertheless, it is the intention of the Parties to fully, finally, and forever settle and release all such matters and claims relative thereto, which do now exist, may exist, or heretofore have existed between them. In furtherance of such intention, the releases given herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete releases of all such matters, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts relative thereto.


I.

Disclaimer of Liability.  It is understood and agreed that this Agreement is a compromise of disputed claims by and between EDVP and Telsey, and that neither the release specified herein nor the negotiation of this Agreement shall be considered as admissions of any liability whatsoever.

All prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and negotiations are superseded and merged herein.
