Exhibit 10.1
 
SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
 
 
THIS SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT is entered into on this 3rd day of February, 2017, by and between David Storey (“EMPLOYEE”) and RELM Wireless Corporation (“COMPANY”). For purposes of this Agreement, EMPLOYEE and COMPANY shall be collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
 
WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE was employed by COMPANY as an at-will employee;
 
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that EMPLOYEE’s employment shall terminate effective January 16, 2017;
 
WHEREAS, the Parties do not anticipate that they will have any disputes or grievances as a result of this termination, but desire to take action to avoid any such disputes;
 
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to terminate their relationship amicably and make certain promises and representations to achieve this objective;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in full satisfaction of any and all disputes and claims, and in consideration of the promises and releases made herein and for other good and valuable consideration, and upon the terms and conditions, the premises and promises and the covenants stated below, the Parties agree as follows:
 
1.           Employment, Board of Directors, and Insurance Coverage Dates. EMPLOYEE’S separation from employment with COMPANY is hereby acknowledged and agreed to be effective at the close of business on January 16, 2017 (“Termination Date”). Employee agrees that upon the termination of his employment, he has also resigned from any and all positions held on the Company’s Board of Directors as of the Termination Date. EMPLOYEE’S health insurance benefits will cease on January 31, 2017, subject to EMPLOYEE’S right to continue his health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). EMPLOYEE’S participation in all benefits and incidents of employment including, not limited to, accrual of bonuses, vacation and paid time off, cease as of the Termination Date. As of the Termination Date, EMPLOYEE shall be deemed to have resigned from any officer position with the Company. Subject to any press release or other statements already made by the Company, the Company will indicate in its personnel records that EMPLOYEE resigned.
 
2.           Separation Payments.
 
A.           Severance. Within ten (10) days of the date on which this Agreement becomes effective and no longer revocable, COMPANY agrees to begin to pay and EMPLOYEE agrees to accept a separation payment in the gross amount of $300,000 (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment will be paid in equal installments over a period of 12 months, in accordance with the COMPANY’S regular payroll practices beginning on the COMPANY’S first regular pay date after the Effective Date, from which there will be deducted and withheld, all taxes, including United States and all applicable state income taxes, Medicare and FICA amounts and EMPLOYEE’S portion of healthcare premium for January, 2017.

B.           Benefits. EMPLOYEE and, as applicable, the EMPLOYEE’S covered dependents, may elect to continue health care coverage by electing continuation of benefits through COBRA. If EMPLOYEE elects to continue benefits through COBRA for himself and applicable dependents, he shall pay the same dollar cost paid by EMPLOYEE as is in effect at the time of termination. If EMPLOYEE elects COBRA, COMPANY agrees to pay the difference in cost between the EMPLOYEE portion and COBRA’s actual cost for coverage through December 31, 2017 (“COBRA Subsidy”). The COBRA Subsidy shall be paid directly to EMPLOYEE on a monthly basis, subject to applicable withholdings, provided that EMPLOYEE elects COBRA coverage. If EMPLOYEE subsequently discontinues COBRA coverage for any reason prior to December 31, 2017, COMPANY’s COBRA Subsidy payments shall cease and shall not be reinstated.
 
C.           Paid Time Off/Sick Leave. EMPLOYEE acknowledges that he has received all accrued, but unused paid time off or sick leave to which he was entitled.
 
3.           Unemployment Benefits and References. COMPANY does not control the ultimate determination for an award of unemployment benefits, and it will respond truthfully to requests for information from the appropriate state agency. COMPANY will not appeal any award of unemployment compensation to EMPLOYEE. In addition, if COMPANY is contacted by potential employers of EMPLOYEE for references or information about EMPLOYEE’s employment, COMPANY will follow its standard practice and only provide EMPLOYEE’s dates of employment, title and salary.
 
4.            401(k) Retirement Plan. It is understood and agreed that EMPLOYEE did participate in a retirement plan offered by COMPANY and therefore COMPANY has no further obligation to withhold any deductions nor make any contributions to any such plan on behalf of EMPLOYEE. Therefore for purposes of the retirement plan, EMPLOYEE is no longer considered an employee and voluntary contributions will not be withheld from the Severance Payment. The Parties agree that nothing in contained in this Agreement shall impact EMPLOYEE’s rights with respect to retirement benefits that were vested as of the Termination Date and that all such rights are governed by the terms of the applicable plan.
 
5.            Mutual Release of Claims. EMPLOYEE agrees that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to EMPLOYEE by the COMPANY and its current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and subsidiaries, and predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the "Releasees"). EMPLOYEE, on his own behalf and on behalf of his respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that EMPLOYEE may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
 
a. any and all claims relating to or arising from EMPLOYEE’S employment relationship with the COMPANY, the termination of that relationship, payment of compensation or bonuses, or the failure or refusal to provide EMPLOYEE with any benefits pursuant to any employee benefit plan or arrangement maintained, administered, sponsored, or funded by the COMPANY;
 
b. any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; conversion; and disability benefits;

c. any and all claims for violation of any federal, state, or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Equal Pay Act;; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (including but not limited to any claim for denial of benefits, interference with benefits, or breach of fiduciary duty); the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; any and all amendments to any such laws; and other applicable federal, state, or local fair employment and anti-discrimination statutes not listed above;
 
d. any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination; and
 
e. any and all claims for attorneys' fees and costs.
 
EMPLOYEE agrees that the release set forth in this section will be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement. The release also does not alter EMPLOYEE’s vested retirement benefits, his rights as an existing shareholder of COMPANY or his vested rights under the Incentive Compensation Stock Option Agreement that otherwise exist, but EMPLOYEE acknowledges that all such rights are governed by the terms of the applicable plans, stock certificates or COMPANY By-Laws as appropriate. This release does not release claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, EMPLOYEE’S right to (1) respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process; (2) file a charge or complaint with or participate in a charge by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency (“Governmental Agency”) against the COMPANY; or (3) disclose information, report possible violations to, or participate in investigations or proceedings that may be conducted by any Governmental Agency. Further, such communications with any Governmental Agency will not be considered a breach of any other provision in this Agreement, including any non-disparagement or confidentiality provision. EMPLOYEE is not required to contact the COMPANY before engaging in any such communications. This Agreement does not limit EMPLOYEE’s right to receive an award from any Governmental Agency for information provided to the Governmental Agency.
 
For its part, in consideration of EMPLOYEE’s execution of this Agreement and his performance of the obligations set forth herein, the COMPANY on behalf of itself and its affiliates, subsidiaries and assigns, agrees that it shall release EMPLOYEE, and his respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, from, and agree not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that COMPANY may possess against EMPLOYEE arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement.

In the event EMPLOYEE signs this Agreement and returns it to the COMPANY in less than the 21-day period identified above, EMPLOYEE hereby acknowledges that he has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement.
 
7.           Confidentiality. EMPLOYEE agrees that the existence of this Agreement and its terms and conditions are to be held in strict confidence. EMPLOYEE further agrees not to disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any past, present or future agent or employee of COMPANY or any other individual or entity except EMPLOYEE’S spouse, his tax consultants, accountants and attorneys, state and federal taxing authority (if required and upon request), or as may be otherwise required by law. This provision will not prevent EMPLOYEE from disclosing the fact that COMPANY employed him through January 16, 2017.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly permitted by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).
