Exhibit 10.5




SEPARATION AGREEMENT




This Separation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 4, 2009 by and
between Daniel Kelly, an individual (“Kelly”), and HealthSport, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“HealthSport”), with respect to the following facts:



A. Kelly has served as an independent consultant for HealthSport pursuant to an independent
consultant agreement with HealthSport (the “Consultant Agreement”). Kelly has served as a director
of the HealthSport, and in the past, also served as the HealthSport’s chief executive officer.
Kelly is not an officer of HealthSport as of the date of this Agreement.



B. Kelly now desires to terminate the Consultant Agreement and Kelly’s position of independent
consultant with the HealthSport.



C. Kelly and HealthSport now desire to release one another from certain claims that they may
have against one another arising out of Kelly’s Consultant Agreement with HealthSport, with Kelly’s
past employment with HealthSport and otherwise prior to the date of this Agreement.



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and
intending to be legally bound, HealthSport and Kelly agree as follows:



Section 1. Resignation. Kelly hereby resigns as an independent consultant of
HealthSport effective as of the date of this Agreement. Kelly shall remain a director of the
HealthSport. The Consultant Agreement is terminated as of the date of this Agreement. Kelly shall
not be an employee of HealthSport. Kelly will return to HealthSport all property owned by
HealthSport, including all originals and copies of the following, whether in Kelly’s possession or
previously removed by Kelly from the HealthSport’s premises and still existing, and whether
recorded on paper, computer disk, other computer readable-form, or any other medium: all computers,
office equipment, company assets, lists, correspondence, books, letters, records, financial data,
product information, formulas, sales information and other materials and other materials and
writing owned by HealthSport or used by it in connection with the conduct of its business.



Section 2. Separation Payment. As separation compensation, HealthSport shall, subject
to Kelly’s satisfaction of any withholding or other taxes that may be due:



(i) Pay to Kelly the sum of $45,000 on or before December 1, 2009 and $10,000 on the first day
of each of the next nine (9) months beginning January 1, 2010 for an aggregate payment of $135,000;
and



(ii) Issue 100,000 unregistered shares of common stock of HealthSport to Kelly on or before
December 1, 2009.



Kelly shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable taxes associated with this
Agreement.


 


 









 





Section 3. Section 409A Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with the
requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“409A”). In the event this Agreement or
any benefit paid to Kelly hereunder is deemed to be subject to 409A, Kelly hereby consents to the
Company adopting such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in its reasonable
discretion, to comply with 409A. If upon Kelly’s “separation from service” within the meaning of
409A, he is then a “specified employee” (as defined in 409A), then solely to the extent necessary
to comply with 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under 409A, the Company shall defer payment
of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to 409A payable as a result of and within six (6)
months following such separation from service until the earlier of (i) the first business day of
the seventh month following Kelly’s separation from service, or (ii) ten (10) days after the
Company receives written notification of Kelly’s death. Any such delayed payments shall be made
without interest. In addition, to the extent required by 409A, any expense reimbursement payments
to Kelly must be made by no later than the end of Kelly’s taxable year following the taxable year
in which the expense is incurred. Such reimbursement or in-kind benefit rights may not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The Company (nor any of its directors, employees
or agents) shall not be liable to Kelly or other persons as to any unexpected or adverse tax
consequence realized by Kelly or other person as a result of this Agreement or any payment or
benefit provided under this Agreement.



Section 4. Indemnification Claims Not Released. Kelly retains, and does not release in
this Agreement any rights to indemnification in accordance with the terms of HealthSport’s
articles of incorporation or bylaws. In addition, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
Kelly from any damages, actions or liability arising from any claims made by Toshiba Copier against
Kelly or the Company related to the rental of its copiers to the Company.



Section 5. General Release. Except for the claims set forth in Section 4 above, Kelly
for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, fully and forever
releases and discharges HealthSport and its current, former and future parents, subsidiaries,
related entities, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers,
directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns (collectively, “Releases”), with respect to
any and all claims, liabilities and causes of action, of every nature, kind and description, in
law, equity or otherwise, which have arisen, occurred or existed at any time prior to the signing
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all claims, liabilities and causes of
action arising out of or relating to Kelly’s employment relationship with HealthSport prior to the
date of this Agreement.

Section 6. Knowing Waiver of Employment-Related Claims. Kelly understands and agrees
that, with the exception of potential employment-related claims identified below, he is waiving any
and all rights he may have had, now has, or in the future may have, to pursue against any of the
Releases any and all remedies available to him under any employment-related causes of action,
including without limitation, claims of wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of public policy, defamation,
discrimination, personal injury, physical injury, emotional distress, claims under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Federal
Rehabilitation Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Family Rights
Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the provisions of the California Labor Code and any other federal,
state or local laws and regulations relating to employment, conditions of
employment (including wage and hour laws), perquisites of employment (including but not
limited to claims relating to stock and/or stock options) and/or employment discrimination. Claims
not covered by the release provisions of this Agreement are (i) claims for unemployment insurance
benefits, (ii) claims under the California Workers’ Compensation Act, and (iii) claims for
indemnity under the California Labor Code, (iv) claims arising from HealthSport’s nonperformance
under this Agreement and (v) any challenge to the validity of Kelly’s release of claims under the

Kelly expressly waives any right to recovery of any type, including damages and reinstatement, in
any administrative or court action, whether state or federal, and whether brought by him or on his
behalf, related in any way to the matters released herein.



Section 7. Knowing Waiver of ADEA Claims. Kelly acknowledges that he is knowingly and
voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the federal Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, as amended. He also acknowledges that the consideration given for this
waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which he was already was entitled. Kelly
further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing, as required by law, that: (i) his

(8th) day after this Agreement is executed by Kelly.



Section 8. Waiver of Civil Code § 1542. Kelly expressly waives any and all rights and
benefits conferred upon him by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which
states as follows:




“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him or her must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”



Kelly expressly agrees and understands that the release given by him pursuant to this Agreement
applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated claims, liabilities and causes of action
which he may have against any of the other Releases.



Section 9. Severability of Release Provisions. Kelly agrees that if any provision of
the release given by him under this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, it will not affect the
enforceability of the remaining provisions and the courts may enforce all remaining provisions to
the extent permitted by law.

never to sue any of the Releases, or otherwise institute or participate in any legal or
administrative proceedings against any of the Releases, with respect to any claim covered by the
release provisions of this Agreement, unless he is compelled by legal process to do so. Kelly
promises and agrees that he shall not advocate or incite the institution of, or assist or
participate in, any suit, complaint, charge or administrative proceeding by any other person

the foregoing obligation to maintain the confidentiality of HealthSport’s confidential information
will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
