EXHIBIT 10.1

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this 9^th day of May, 2019 by and between Specialty Microwave Corporation, a New York corporation (“Specialty” or the “Seller”), and Amplitech Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Purchaser”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

	1.	Seller shall sell and the Purchaser shall purchase, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, the assets of Specialty’s business as described on Exhibit A (the “Assets”) but excluding the art work and other personal items as set forth on Exhibit A-1 (“Excluded Items”).

	2.	The Purchaser shall pay to Specialty Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($850,000) Dollars (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus the lower of (i) cost or (ii) market value of inventory, as determined after the audit of such inventory, of Specialty on hand as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing (as such term is defined below in this Section 2) (the “Inventory Purchase Price,” and together with the Base Purchase Price, the “Asset Purchase Price”). Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($500,000) Dollars of the Asset Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer or cashier’s check on the Closing Date (as such term is defined below in Section 5). Up to One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 ($125,000) Dollars of the Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($500,000) Dollars to be paid on the Closing Date shall be initially be considered the Inventory Purchase Price. In the event the Inventory Purchase Price is determined to be greater than One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 ($125,000) Dollars, such additional amount shall be paid in cash at the Closing Date above the Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($500,000) Dollars. The balance of the Asset Purchase Price shall be paid in a secured promissory note of Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”). The Note shall be secured by a pledge of the Assets to be conveyed to Purchaser under that certain Asset Pledge Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D (the “Pledge Agreement”). Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($50,000) Dollars of the Asset Purchase Price shall be paid as a refundable down payment (“Earnest Money”) upon the execution hereof. The funds shall be deposited into the IOLA account of Haley Weinblatt & Calcagni, LLP (“Escrow Agent”), located at New York Commercial Bank, 1601 Veterans Highway, Islandia, NY 11749. Escrow Agent hereby accepts its designation as Escrow Agent hereunder and agrees to hold and disburse the Earnest Money as herein provided. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any acts taken in good faith, shall only be liable for Escrow Agent's willful default or gross negligence, and may, in Escrow Agent's sole discretion, rely upon the oral or written notices, communications, orders or instructions given by Purchaser or Seller.

		If either party makes any other written demand upon Escrow Agent, in the manner required for notices set forth in this Agreement, for payment of the Earnest Money, then Escrow Agent shall give written notice, in accordance with this Agreement, to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment of the Earnest Money pursuant to the aforesaid demand within ten (10) days after the delivery, as determined in accordance with this Agreement, of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment in accordance with the aforesaid demand. If Escrow Agent receives written objection from the other party to the proposed payment of the Earnest Money pursuant to the aforesaid demand within such ten (10) day period or if for any other reason Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Earnest Money until otherwise directed by written instructions from Sellers and Purchaser or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of a dispute between Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement sufficient in the discretion of Escrow Agent to justify Escrow Agent's doing so, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain or to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in Escrow Agent's hands under the terms of this Agreement, together with such legal proceedings as it deems appropriate, and thereupon to be discharged from all further duties under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in any such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and counsel fees and disbursements which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by it in connection with Escrow Agent's acceptance of this appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder or the performance of Escrow Agent's duties hereunder, including, without limitation, any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that if Escrow Agent shall be found guilty of willful default or gross negligence under this Agreement, then, in such event, Escrow Agent shall bear all such losses, claims, damages and expenses; and provided further that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any liability to Escrow Agent under this indemnity provision for any cost of litigation incurred by Escrow Agent, including, without limitation, attorney fees, arising or caused solely by the conduct of the other party which results in a dispute solely between the other party and Escrow Agent.

	3.	Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, and convey to the Purchaser the Assets free of all liabilities and liens, other than the lien of Seller described in the Note.

	4.	In addition to the purchase and sale of the Assets, Purchaser shall purchase from Stephen Faber (“Property Owner”), on the Closing Date, that certain real property and all improvements located at 120 Raynor Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779 (the “Property”) for a purchase price of One Million Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($1,200,000.00) Dollars. Such sale and purchase shall be completed pursuant to a Contract for Sale of Real Property (the “Property Sale Agreement”). The Property Owner will take back a promissory note from the Purchaser (the “Property Note”) in the amount of One Million Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($1,050,000.00) Dollars that will be secured by a first mortgage loan on the Property. The Property Note shall have a term of five (5) years, accrue interest at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum, and be amortized on a twenty (20) year amortization schedule. Specialty and the Purchaser hereby mutually agree that their respective obligations to sell and purchase the Assets are expressly conditioned on performance by the Property Owner and the Purchaser of their respective obligations to close on the sale of the Property.

	5.	The actions to be taken by the parties hereto to close the transaction shall take place at a Closing (the “Closing”), which shall occur on the first business day following the completion of an unqualified audit by the Purchaser’s independent public accountant of the financial statements of Specialty for the years ending November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2018, and a review of the financial statements of Specialty for the interim periods ending February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2019 ("Closing Date"), at the office of the Purchaser, located at 620 Johnson Avenue, Bohemia, NY 11716. The Closing Date is targeted to occur on before July 31, 2019. At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all documents necessary to take possession of the Assets, and good and sufficient instruments of transfer, reasonably conveying and transferring the Assets to Purchaser. Such delivery shall be made against payment thereof and delivery to the Seller of the Asset Purchase Price. The instruments of transfer shall contain warranties that Seller has good and marketable title in and to the Assets.

	6.	On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Seller, the Asset Purchase Price in the manner described above.

	7.	It is the parties’ intention that on the Closing Date, the Purchaser and Chris Baars shall enter into an Employment Agreement in a form substantially similar to the agreement set forth on Exhibit C, attached hereto.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

$_____________	Dated as of May __, 2019
	Bohemia, New York

THIS SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”), is entered into as of this ___ day of May, by Amplitech Group Inc. (“Maker”), in favor of Specialty Microwave Corporation (“Payee”), in light of the following facts and circumstances:

WHEREAS, Payee has agreed to sell Maker, one hundred percent (100%) ownership, in certain Assets, as defined in that Asset Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and between the Maker and the Payee (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), with a portion of the purchase price being this Note, and concurrently with the execution of this Note Maker executes and delivers the Asset Pledge Agreement (as defined below) in favor of Payee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in light of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Maker and Payee hereby agree as follows:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Maker hereby promises to pay to Payee, at its office or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Note, the principal sum of _______________ Thousand and__/100 Dollars ($_______) (the “Principal”), as described below.

1. Interest Rate. Six percent (6%) interest per annum.

2. Payment. Payment of the Principal and the accrued interest shall be due and payable in sixty (60) equal monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of_______________ ($_____) Dollars each beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after the date of this Note.

3. Late Charges. In the event that payment is not received within ten (10) days of the date that it is due, then in addition to any default interest payments due hereunder, Maker shall also pay, within twenty (20) days after the date such payment was due, a late charge in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the amount of such overdue payment.

4. Default Interest Rate. So long as any Event of Default exists hereunder, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and at all times after maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby (whether by acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, or if such increased rate of interest may not be contracted for, charged, or collected under applicable law, then at the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be collected from Maker under applicable law (the “Default Interest Rate”), and such default interest shall be immediately due and payable. Default interest chargeable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest not paid when due with respect to any obligation evidenced hereby shall be added to the unpaid principal balance owing under this Note and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate applicable to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

5. Maker’s Agreements. Maker hereby acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Payee’s actual damages resulting from any late payment or default, and such late charges and default interest are reasonable estimates of those damages and do not constitute a penalty. The remedies of Payee in this Note or in any document entered into in connection with this Note, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together, in Payee’s discretion.

6. Voluntary Prepayment. Maker may, at any time, prepay the obligations evidenced by this Note.

7. Lawful Money. All principal and interest due hereunder is payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds.

8. Waivers. Maker, for itself and its legal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection.

9. Event Of Default; Security Interests; Guaranties; Reconveyance Of Deed Of Trust.

A. Event of default. The following events shall constitute and be referred to herein as an “Event of Default”:

(i) the failure of Maker to make the payment owing under this Note within ten (10) days after written notice from Payee that such payment is due; or (ii) proceedings shall be commenced by the Maker for the appointment of a receiver for the Maker or any of its assets and a receiver being duly appointed therefor; or (iii) a petition shall be filed by the Maker under any provision of any bankruptcy or similar statute; or (iv) there is an assignment of fifty percent (50%) or more of its assets by the Maker for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) proceedings shall be commenced against the Maker either (a) for the appointment of a receiver and a receiver being duly appointed, or (b) under any provision of any bankruptcy or similar statute, either of which shall continue unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) days; or (vi) through any action of Maker, without the prior written consent of the Payee, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the assets of Maker are assigned, sold, conveyed or otherwise transferred (other than in the ordinary course of business); then, and in any such event, the aggregate amount of all unpaid principal hereunder shall thereupon automatically become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, or any other act by the Payee, all of which are hereby waived by the Maker.

Upon an Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable immediately, at Payee’s option, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of protest, of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

B. Security Interests. It is agreed that this Note is secured by that certain Asset Pledge Agreement dated of even date herewith by Maker in favor of Payee (the “Asset Pledge Agreement”). Concurrently with the execution of this Note, Maker will execute and cause the execution and delivery of the Asset Pledge Agreement.

10. Defense Waivers. Maker hereby waives any right to assert against Payee any defense (legal or equitable), set off, counterclaim, or claims which Maker individually may now or any time hereafter have against Payee or any other party liable to Payee in any manner or way whatsoever.

11. No Implied Waivers. No act, failure, or delay by Payee shall constitute a waiver of any of Payee’s rights and remedies. No single or partial waiver by Payee of any provision of this Note, or of a breach or default hereunder or thereunder, or of any right or remedy which Payee may have, shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right, or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right, or remedy on a future occasion. No waiver by Payee shall affect Payee’s rights to require strict performance of this Note.

12. Assignment. Payee may assign this Note at any time without the consent of the Maker to Stephen Faber or to a trust established by him.

13. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it should become necessary to employ counsel to construe or enforce this Note, Maker agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of the Payee, irrespective of whether suit is brought, including, without limitation, any and all pre-judgment and post-judgment attorneys' fees and costs incurred (including, without limitation, fees and costs incurred in connection with any matter arising under Title 11 of the United States Code).

14. Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, Maker shall not be obligated to pay, and the holder hereof shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve, or take interest (“interest” being defined, for purposes of this paragraph, as the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable law that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received, or paid under this Note) in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. During any period of time in which the interest rate specified herein exceeds such maximum rate, interest shall accrue and be payable at such maximum rate. For purposes of this Note, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the transaction between Maker and the holder of this Note which lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful, non-usurious rate of interest on such transaction and this Note, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

15. Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each paragraph applies equally to this entire Note.

16. Amendments in Writing; Counterparts. This Note may not be changed, modified, amended, or terminated except in a writing signed by Maker and Payee. This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Note.

17. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE. THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. MAKER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO SUCH VENUE AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY COURT ORDERED RELIEF.

11. Reasonable Care The Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care, and as further described below.

12. Remedies Upon Default If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Secured Party may, without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the Pledgor at its notice address as provided ten days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, the Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as the Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law.

At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(d) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

13. Intentionally Omitted.

14. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

15. Security Interest Absolute The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of the Secured Party and liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Pledgor against the Secured Party; or

(e) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Party that might vary the risk of the Pledgor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Pledgor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

16. Amendments None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party and the Pledgor, and then such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

17. Addresses For Notices All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Secured Promissory Note, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses as specified on the signature pages hereof or as to either party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.
