Exhibit 10.1
SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

The Executive and the Company are each referred to herein as a “Party” and are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:
R-1. The Company and Executive entered into that certain employment agreement effective April 29, 2020 pursuant to which the Company employed Phelps as its Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). Phelps’s employment with the Company was thereafter expanded to include the roles of President and Chief Financial Officer.
R-2. The Executive is also currently a member of the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to an earlier agreement with the Company (the “Phelps Director Agreement”).
R-3. The Executive has alleged that the Company owes him $660,000 for accrued but unpaid compensation through March 31, 2022 for his services as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer and for his services as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company disputes owing the Executive that amount.
R-4. The Parties are entering into this Separation Agreement to provide for some terms regarding the severance of Executive’s employment with the Company, including his employment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, and to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions, and demands that the Executive may have against the Company and any of the Releasees as defined below, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment with or separation from the Company.
R-5. For purposes of clarity, this Separation Agreement does not end Phelps’s tenure as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
AGREEMENT:
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each Party, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Severance of Employment with the Company. The Executive resigns his employment with the Company and from his positions as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, and all other positions he holds with the Company, excluding his position as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective July 18, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). The Executive acknowledges that his resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies (including accounting or financial policies) or practices. In light of the Executive’s resignation, the Parties further agree that the Employment Agreement is hereby terminated effective as of the Separation Date and that any advance notice required by either of them to terminate the Employment Agreement under that agreement is hereby waived.
2. [Reserved.]
3. Separation Payment. Subject to the Executive executing and returning this Separation Agreement and this Separation Agreement becoming effective as provided in Section 29 below, the Company shall provide the Executive with a severance payment consisting of three convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Separation Payment”), two of which shall be for the principal amount of one hundred thousand and zero/100 United States dollars ($100,000.00) each and in the form substantially appended hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively, and the third of which shall be for the principal amount of two hundred thousand and zero/100 United States dollars ($200,000.00) and in the form substantially appended hereto as Exhibit C, and further provided that the Executive properly executes and returns each of those three convertible promissory notes to the Company by the deadline set forth in Section 29 below.

Upon issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Debt shall be deemed paid in full and this Note shall be terminated.

All remedies hereunder and at law or in equity shall be cumulative. In the event that it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect the Debt or to protect or foreclose the security for the Debt or to defend against any claims asserted by Borrower under this Note, Borrower also agrees to pay to Holder all costs of collection or defense incurred by Holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services of counsel whether or not suit be brought.

7. SAVINGS CLAUSE
This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is not the intention of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

A breach under this Note that has not been cured within ten (10) business days following written notice from Holder shall constitute an “Event of Default.” So long as an Event of Default exists, Holder may, at its option, without notice or demand to Borrower, declare the Debt immediately due and payable. All remedies hereunder and at law or in equity shall be cumulative. In the event that it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect the Debt or to protect or foreclose the security for the Debt or to defend against any claims asserted by Borrower under this Note, Borrower also agrees to pay to Holder all costs of collection or defense incurred by Holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services of counsel whether or not suit be brought. During the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at the rate equal to six percent (6.00%).

7. SAVINGS CLAUSE
This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is not the intention of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
