As set forth in this SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (this “Agreement”)
and in exchange for the consideration specified herein provided by MobileSmith,
Inc, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), and Bob Dieterle (“Employee,”
together the “Parties”) agrees as follows:
 

1.    Company.  The term "Company" as used herein means and encompasses any one
and/or all of the following: (a) MobileSmith, Inc. a Delaware corporation, and
any subsidiary, parent company, associated entity, affiliated entity, related
entity, or division thereof, now or previously existing or hereafter created;
and (b) any current or former owner, officer, director, board member, trustee,
agent, shareholder, representative, attorney, employee, successor, assign, or
employee benefit or welfare program or plan (including the administrators,
trustees, and fiduciaries of such program or plan) of an entity encompassed by
subparagraph 1(a).

2.    Payment.  In exchange for Employee's execution of this Agreement, the
Company will pay Employee consideration as follows:

 
a.    An aggregate amount of $90,000, less applicable withholdings and
deductions that are required by law, which amount represents six months’ pay at
Employee’s most recent base salary. Employee’s Severance will be paid in six
equal installments (each a “Severance Payment”) to be paid pursuant to the
Company’s regular month-end payroll practices, the first of which will be paid
in the next month-end payroll after the Effective Date of this Agreement (such
period during which Severance Payments are owed, the “Severance Period”).
 
b.    If the Employee timely elects continued health care coverage under COBRA,
the Company will pay the full amount of the Employee’s COBRA premiums necessary
to continue the Employee’s coverage (“COBRA Premiums”) through the period (the
“COBRA Premium Period”) starting on the Separation Date and ending on the
earliest to occur of: (i) the end of the Severance Period (6 months), or (ii)
the date the Employee and any eligible dependents, if applicable, become
eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (iii)
the date the Employee ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for
any reason, including plan termination. The Company will provide payment
directly to the insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina). In
the event the Employee becomes covered under another employer’s group health
plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium
Period, the Employee must immediately notify the Company of such event. A breach
of this Agreement to make immediate notification shall result in the Employee
returning all but One Dollar of all payments made under this paragraph. Together
with the Severance Payment referenced in subparagraph 2(a), these payments are
referred to generally herein as the “Severance.”
 
c.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee was not otherwise entitled
to this Severance, and that these benefits are being given as consideration in
exchange for Employee executing this Agreement and the general release contained
herein. Employee further acknowledges that Employee is not entitled to any
additional payment or consideration not specifically referenced in this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an express
or implied policy or practice of the Company to provide these or other benefits
to any individuals other than Employee. The Company makes no representations or
warranties with respect to the tax consequences of Employee’s Severance provided
to Employee under this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that he is
responsible for payment, if any, of federal, state, or local taxes on Employee’s
Severance, as well as for any penalties or assessments thereon. Employee further
agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any claims, demands,
deficiencies, penalties, interest, assessments, executions, judgments, or
recoveries against Company for any amounts claimed due on account of Employee’s
failure to pay or delayed payment of federal, state, or local taxes, or
Employee’s treatment, handling, or other disposition of Employee’s Severance,
and for all damages sustained by Company by reason of any such claims, including
attorneys’ fees and costs.

9.    Confidentiality of Company Information.
 
            a.     Employee understands and acknowledges that during the course
of Employee’s employment by the Company, he has gained access to and learned
about confidential, secret, and proprietary documents, materials, data, and
other information, in tangible and intangible form, of and relating to the
Company and its businesses, employees, and existing and prospective customers,
suppliers, investors, and other associated third parties (the “Confidential
Information”). The Employee further understands and acknowledges that the
Confidential Information and the Company’s ability to reserve the Confidential
Information for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company is of great
competitive importance and commercial value to the Company, and that improper
use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by the Employee will cause
irreparable harm to the Company, for which remedies at law will not be adequate
and may also cause the Company to incur financial costs, loss of business
advantage, and liability under confidentiality agreements with third parties.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not
limited to, all information regarding the Company and its business not generally
known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic or any other form or medium,
including such information relating directly or indirectly to: business
processes, practices, policies, plans, operations, services, strategies,
transactions, potential transactions, negotiations, and pending negotiations;
trade secrets; sources of material; supplier or vendor information/lists;
financial information; pricing information; design information; revenue; costs;
product plans, designs or specifications; customer information or lists of the
Company or its businesses or of any other person or entity that has entrusted
information to the Company in confidence. The Employee understands that the
above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes
other information that is or was marked or otherwise identified as confidential
or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be
confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the
information is or was known or used. The Employee understands and agrees that
any Confidential Information which was developed by him in the course of his
employment by the Company shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the
Employee in the first instance.
 
b. Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally
available to and known by the public, provided that such disclosure to the
public is through no direct or indirect fault of the Employee or person(s)
acting on the Employee’s behalf. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016,
Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or
state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in
confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of
law. Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or
state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a
complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such
filing is made under seal. Further, if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation
for reporting a suspected violation of law, then Employee may disclose the trade
secret to Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in a court
proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the trade secret under
seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
 
c. The Employee agrees and covenants: (i) to treat all Confidential Information
as strictly confidential; (ii) not to directly or indirectly disclose, publish,
communicate, or make available Confidential Information, or allow it to be
disclosed, published, communicated, or made available, in whole or part, to any
entity or person whatsoever not having a need to know and authority to know and
use the Confidential Information in connection with the business of the Company
and, in any event, not to anyone outside of the direct employ of the Company
except as was required in the performance of the Employee’s employment duties to
the Company, as allowed or required by this Agreement, and only with the prior
consent of an authorized officer acting on behalf of the Company in each
instance; and (iii) not to access or use any Confidential Information, and not
to use, disclose, or copy any documents, records, files, media, or other
resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove any such documents,
records, files, media, or other resources from the premises or control of the
Company, except as was required in the performance of the Employee’s authorized
employment, as described, allowed, or required by this Agreement, or with the
prior consent of an authorized officer acting on behalf of the Company. Nothing
herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as
may be required or permitted by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the
valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized Government
Agency, provided that such disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure
required by such law, regulation, or order. The Employee shall provide written
notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Company within three
(3) days of receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of
making any disclosure to permit the Company to contest the order or seek
confidentiality protections, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion.
 
d. The Employee understands and acknowledges that his obligations under this
Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information shall commence
immediately and shall continue until such time as such Confidential Information
has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Employee’s breach of
this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement do not change or otherwise modify
the duty of loyalty and any other duties of confidentiality Employee owed to the
Company during his employment.
 
10.    Restrictive Covenants. Employee agrees and covenants that he will not,
without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in the following
activities on Employee’s own behalf, or on behalf of any other business or
entity, whether as an owner, consultant, or otherwise:
 
a. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date, Employee will not
directly or indirectly Solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or
induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Company with whom
Employee worked in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Separation
Date. As used in this sub-paragraph, “Solicit” shall mean to recruit, cause,
induce, encourage, influence, interfere with, entice, call on, or otherwise
attempt to take business or employees away from the Company.
 
b. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date, and applicable
anywhere in the United States, Employee will not own, manage, operate, control,
participate in the ownership, operation, or control of, or perform services (as
an employee, consultant or otherwise) comparable to the duties the Employee
performed for the Company during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding
the Separation Date, for any company competitive with the Business. The parties
agree, however, that the Employee’s ownership of any stock or securities (not to
exceed two (2) percent of any class of stock or securities) of a corporation,
which is a competitor of the Company, will not be a violation of the foregoing
restrictions. As used in this subparagraph, “Business” shall mean any business
related to creating, designing, customizing, coding, selling, servicing or
distributing mobile branded hospital applications for the healthcare industry or
conducting research or development with regard thereto. For purpose of clarity,
“Business” shall not include individual hospitals or other medical providers.
 
11.    Remedies. All terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement were
materially bargained for by Company. Employee agrees Company would not have an
adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed if the Employee were to
breach any provision of this Agreement, particularly the Confidentiality of
Company Information and Restrictive Covenants. The Employee acknowledges and
agrees that the services he rendered were of a special and unique character;
that he held a position uniquely essential to the management, organization or
service of the Company; that he obtained knowledge and skill relevant to the
Company’s industry, methods of doing business and marketing strategies by virtue
of his employment; and that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are
reasonable under these circumstances and that the terms of this Agreement do not
subject him to undue hardship. Employee agrees that, in the event of a breach by
the Employee, Company will be entitled to equitable relief, temporary or
permanent injunctive relief, in addition to all other damages and remedies
available at law or in equity without the necessity of showing any actual
damages or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and
without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned
equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies,
monetary damages, or other available forms of relief. The Employee and the
Company also agree that in any action or proceeding related to or arising from
this Agreement brought by either party against the other party, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
bringing or defending said action or proceeding upon entry of a definitive
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
12.    Forum and Construction. This Agreement shall be construed pursuant to the
laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of North Carolina or any
other jurisdiction). The venue for any action to enforce the terms of this
Agreement shall be in a state or federal court in Wake County, North Carolina.
This statement shall be read as a mandatory venue selection clause. The language
of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning.
Titles and headings to paragraphs in this Agreement are for the purpose of

ineffective unless in writing signed by the party against whom it is enforced.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Employee’s successors and assigns, as
well as Company’s successors and assigns. No waiver of any breach of any term of
this Agreement shall be a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.

unenforceable for any reason, Employee shall return to Company, within thirty
(30) days of such finding, any Severance provided to Employee, and all remaining

immediately stated otherwise, the provisions of this Agreement are severable and
divisible, and the invalidity of any provision shall not affect or limit the
enforceability of the remaining provisions.
 
14.    No Admission. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an acknowledgment or
admission of liability or wrongdoing by Company. Company specifically denies
having engaged in any unlawful or wrongful act or omission but enters into this
Agreement to provide the Employee with transitional assistance in the form of
the Severance Payment provided by this Agreement, and to otherwise confirm the
amicable termination of the employment relationship on mutually acceptable
terms. This Agreement shall not be construed to render the Employee a
“prevailing party” under any law, order, or regulation allowing attorneys’ fees
or costs to a party who “prevails” in any manner or sense.
 
15.    Tax Liability; Section 409(a) of the IRC. All payments made pursuant to

the maximum extent possible. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a
termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service”
under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement
comply with Section 409A and in no event, will the Company be liable for all or
any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be
incurred by Employee. To the extent necessary, each Severance Payment should be
considered an “installment” pursuant to Section 409(a) of the IRC.
