2. Purchase Price. As payment in full for the Preferred Stock and the Pending Trademarks, Livewire shall pay $50,000 in cash to Brandon B. Corr, who shall receive such payment on behalf of all the Sellers (including Brandon B. Corr as owner of the Pending Trademarks) and shall issue, or cause to be transferred, to Brandon B. Corr (acting on behalf of all the Sellers) 4,000,000 shares of Livewire’s common stock, with restrictive legend (the $50,000 and the 4,000,000 shares are referred to as the “Consideration”). The Consideration, which each of the Corrs (including Brandon B. Corr individually as owner of the Pending Trademarks), do hereby represent and agree shall be payable to Brandon B. Corr on behalf of all the Corrs, shall be deemed payment in full for all of the shares of Preferred Stock owned by each of the Sellers and the assignment of the Pending Trademarks from Brandon B. Corr to APRU.

3. Effect of Execution of this Agreement by the Parties. (i) Each of the Sellers agrees and understands that upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties, all right, title and interest in and to their respective shares of the Preferred Stock shall be transferred and assigned to Livewire as of the Effective Date and such transfer shall be irrevocable except in the case of Livewire failing to pay the consideration as set forth in section 4(c), and (ii) Brandon B. Corr understands and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties, all right, title and interest he has in the Pending Trademark applications shall be transferred and assigned to APRU as of the Effective Date and such transfers shall be irrevocable except in the case of Livewire failing to pay the Consideration as set forth in section 4(c).

4. Covenants.

(a) Each of the Sellers covenant that in conjunction with the execution of this Agreement they shall provide to Tony Torgerud (President of APRU) the original certificates representing their respective shares of the Preferred Stock (if any certificate has been lost, then the parties shall execute and deliver whatever documentation that the transfer agent requires to cancel the lost certificate and re-issue a new one to Livewire). In addition, the Corrs shall execute and provide to Livewire whatever documentation required by APRU’s transfer agent which may be necessary for the Transfer Agent to effectuate the transfer of the Preferred Shares to Livewire, provided however, the Parties agree and understand that this Agreement itself serves to transfer and assign all right, title and interest in and to the Preferred Shares which transfer is irrevocable except in the case of Livewire failing to pay the Consideration as set forth in section 4(c). Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement serves to assign all right, title and interest in and to the Preferred Stock to Livewire, each of the Sellers covenant that they shall execute such further documentation necessary in order to effectuate the transfer of the Preferred Stock on the records of APRU’s Transfer Agent.

(b) Brandon B. Corr covenants that he shall execute any document, perform any act or take any action necessary to effect the assignment of the Pending Trademark applications to APRU, provided however, Mr. Corr agrees and understands that this Agreement itself serves to transfer and assign all right, title and interest in and to the Pending Trademark applications, which transfer is irrevocable except in the case of Livewire failing to pay the Consideration as set forth under section 4(c). Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement serves to assign all right, title and interest in and to the Pending Trademarks to APRU, Mr. Corr covenants that he shall execute such further documentation necessary in order to effectuate the transfer on the records of the USPTO and hereby explicitly disclaims any interest of any kind in the Pending Trademark applications, other than as assignor to APRU, which disclaimer shall become effective as of the Effective Date. Further, such disclaimer shall be irrevocable under any circumstances other than in the case of Livewire failing to pay the Consideration as set forth under section 4(c). In addition, Robert J. Corr and Sharon S. Corr each covenant that they have no interest of any kind in the Pending Trademark applications and hereby explicitly disclaim any interest of any kind in the Pending Trademark applications..

(e) The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or covenants contained herein may be cancelled, terminated, rescinded or revoked once this Agreement has been executed for any reason other than (i) the failure of Livewire to pay the Consideration as required under section 4(c) within 10-business days of the Effective Date, (ii) the failure of the Corrs to perform as required under section 4(a) within 10-business days of the Effective Date, or (iii) the failure of Brandon B. Corr to perform as required under section 4(b) within 10-business days of the Effective Date.

Nothing contained in this provision or this Agreement shall prevent a Party from waiving, or extending the time, for a defaulting Party to comply with its obligations set forth in this provision and nothing contained in this provision or this Agreement shall prevent a party, or serve to replace a party’s right, to seek (as an alternative to cancellation, termination, rescission or revocation) injunctive relief or specific performance in order to have a Court require that a defaulting party perform as required under this Agreement or to comply with its terms.

(f) The Parties shall take all necessary steps and undertake to do all such acts and take all such actions necessary to insure their compliance with their obligations set forth in this Agreement.

6. Attorneys’ Fees.

Should any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision(s) shall (i) be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable, or (ii) if it cannot be so modified, be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that it has had the benefit of advice of competent legal counsel or the opportunity to retain such counsel with respect to its decision to enter into this Agreement. The individuals whose signatures are affixed to this Agreement in a personal or representative capacity represent that they are competent to enter into this Agreement and are doing so freely and without coercion by any other Party or non-party hereto.
