Exhibit 10.1

Separation Agreement and Release

1.Severance Payments; Salary and Benefits.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Employment Agreement, in lieu of the amounts set forth in Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement which is hereby superseded in all respects by this Section 1, subject to Employee signing on or before the twenty-first (21^st) day following the Date of Termination, and not subsequently revoking, this Agreement, and Employee’s continued compliance with Sections 5 and 6 of the Employment Agreement, Employee shall receive the following:

(a) An amount in cash equal to One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($137,500), payable in the form of salary continuation in regular installments over the six- (6-) month period following the Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; and   

(b) If Employee elects to receive continued medical, dental or vision coverage under one or more of the Company’s group healthcare plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall directly pay, or reimburse Employee for, the COBRA premiums for Employee under such plans during the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending upon the earliest of (1) the last day of the Severance Period, (2) the date that Employee becomes no longer eligible for COBRA, or (3) the date Employee becomes eligible to receive healthcare coverage from a subsequent employer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to Employee a gross monthly payment in an amount to cover the full monthly COBRA premium that Employee would be required to pay to continue Employee’s group health coverage in effect on the Date of Termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), less the amount the Employee would have had to pay to receive group health coverage for the Employee based on the cost sharing levels in effect on the Date of

Termination, which payments shall be made regardless of whether Employee elects COBRA continuation coverage and shall commence in the month following the month in which the Date of Termination occurs and shall end on the earlier of (1) the last day of the Severance Period, (2) the date that Employee becomes no longer eligible for COBRA or (3) the date Employee becomes eligible to receive healthcare coverage from a subsequent employer.

In addition, to the extent not already paid, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay or provide to the Employee all other payments or benefits described in Section 3(c) of the Employment Agreement, subject to and in accordance with the terms thereof.

2.Release of Claims.  Employee agrees that, other than with respect to the Retained Claims, the foregoing consideration/severance payments represent settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company, its parent, any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of their current and former officers, directors, equity holders, managers, 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 her own behalf and on behalf of any of Employee’s affiliated companies or entities and any of their respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, other than with respect to the Retained Claims, 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, charge, duty, obligation, 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 (as defined in Section 7 below), including, without limitation:
