Exhibit 10.30

Settlement Agreement & Release

This Settlement Agreement & Release ("Agreement"), dated this 29^th day of November, 2021, is by and between:

EMED, Blue Ridge, Steinberg and Kaplan may be collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS:

Whereas, beginning on December 14, 2018, and terminating on July 1, 2020, EMED issued to Steinberg and Blue Ridge a series of promissory notes, an accounting of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1, containing all principal and interest owed, and fully incorporated herein by reference. The Parties confirm that the promissory notes listed on Exhibit 1 fully and completely list all outstanding promissory notes issued by EMED to Steinberg or Blue Ridge as of the date hereof (the “EMED Notes”).

WHEREAS, Steinberg and Kaplan were formerly husband and wife. On June 15, 2020, Kaplan filed a petition for divorce under case number 20FL003764N in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Diego. On April 16, 2021, the Court entered judgment of dissolution of their marriage.

WHEREAS, the judgment of dissolution included a global agreement executed between Steinberg and Kaplan (the “Global Agreement”), which dealt with the resolution of many of the interests between Steinberg and Kaplan, including with respect to Electromedical Technologies, Inc. By operation of the Global Agreement, among other provisions, Kaplan is entitled to fifty percent (50%) in and to all of Steinberg’s right, title and interest in and to any Electromedical equity, rights, preferences, future issuances or other assets, whether direct or indirect, including by way of Steinberg’s direct or indirect ownership of Blue Ridge or any other entity, including by way of loan, note or agreement to or in favor of EMED or any of EMED’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or affiliates, including the EMED Notes.

WHEREAS, EMED owes Blue Ridge and Steinberg a balance due of $231,500 in principal and $18,370.27 in interest on all outstanding EMED Notes, totaling $249,870.27.

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into good faith discussions to retire the balance of principal and interest owed under the EMED Notes, and the Parties deem it to be in their shared best interests to avoid the commencement of legal action, including, but not limited to (i) a civil action for damages filed in any court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) an arbitration in any venue, or (iii) any other civil action of any kind or sort consistent with any applicable law and the EMED Notes, and to resolve any and all disputes between them finally and forever regarding the EMED Notes in order to avoid the inconvenience, costs and expenses related to any and all such legal actions, upon the terms and condition set forth herein, including the application of California law to this Agreement; and,

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
