&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Severance Cash Payment**. A severance cash payment in an amount equal to two (2) months of Mr. Phadke's base salary (the "Severance Payment"), representing $45,833.32, subject to applicable payroll deductions, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll cycle over a two-month period commencing on March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Acceleration of Restricted Stock Units**.

[Intentionally Omitted]

**RE: SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS**

This Separation Agreement and General Release of All Claims ("**Agreement**") is entered into between Piyush Phadke ("**Executive**") and reAlpha Tech Corp. its past and present owners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, predecessors and assigns (collectively referred to as "Employer" or "Company").

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by Employer;

WHEREAS, Executive and Employer wish to enter into this Agreement regarding this employment relationship, the terms of Executive's separation from employment, and all other terms, conditions and circumstances of employment and separation from employment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants made by Executive and Employer and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged by the parties, it is agreed that:

1. Executive's last day of work for Employer is February
25, 2026 (hereafter referred to as "**Separation Date** "). Executive acknowledges that the Executive has been paid all
wages, bonuses, expenses and benefits due to the Executive as of Separation Date.

 

2. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and as consideration
for Executive's promises, Employer hereby agrees to provide you with (i) an amount representing two (2) months of your current
salary as severance payments (referred to herein as the "**Severance Payments** "). Such amount, which shall be paid out
of the payroll and subject to applicable payroll deductions, will be paid in with the Company's current payroll cycle and (ii)
accelerate the vesting of 82,539 restricted stock units (the "**RSUs**") granted to Executive on April 30, 2025 pursuant
to the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and as may be further amended from time to time, the "**2022 Plan** "),
and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated April 30, 2025 (the "**Award Agreement** "). Pursuant to the terms
of the Award Agreement, the RSUs were scheduled to vest on April 30, 2026. The Award Agreement is hereby amended solely to the extent
necessary to give effect to the acceleration provided herein, and all other terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and the 2022
Plan shall remain in full force and effect. Subject to Sections 8, 11 and 12 below, the Company shall settle the RSUs by issuing to Executive
82,539 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), registered under the Company's
effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-291057) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2025
(the "Registration Statement").

The issuance of Shares in settlement of the RSUs shall be made within sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which Executive's release of claims contained herein becomes effective and irrevocable (the "**Release Effective Date**"), which shall be the date on which the applicable revocation period set forth in Section 17 expires without revocation by Executive; provided that if such sixty (60) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the issuance shall be made in the second calendar year; and provided further that in no event shall the issuance be made later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the end of the calendar year in which the Release Effective Date occurs. It is the intent of the parties that the settlement of the RSUs hereunder shall qualify for the short-term deferral exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered consistent with such intent. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall have no right, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year in which settlement occurs.

![](ea028243901_ex10-1img1.jpg)

Executive acknowledges that the accelerated vesting and settlement of the RSUs provided under this Agreement are conditioned upon, and would not occur but for, Executive's timely execution and non-revocation of this Agreement, and that such accelerated vesting would not otherwise be provided in the absence of the mutual covenants herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Tax Withholding**. Executive acknowledges that the settlement
of the RSUs constitutes ordinary compensation income to Executive in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the issuance
date, subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and employment tax withholding. The Company shall satisfy its withholding
obligations by withholding from the Shares a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory withholding amount
required, unless Executive and the Company agree in writing to an alternative withholding method prior to the issuance date. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" means the closing price of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq on the trading
day immediately preceding the issuance date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Section 16 Reporting.** To the extent Executive is or
was subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the "**Securities Act** "), Executive acknowledges
that the settlement of the RSUs and the acquisition of the Shares constitutes a reportable transaction requiring the filing of a Form
4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission within two business days of the settlement date. The Company agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Executive in connection with such filing. Executive acknowledges that the forfeiture or termination of any remaining unvested RSUs
as of the Separation Date may also constitute a separately reportable transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **No Further Equity Rights.** Except as expressly provided
in this Section 2, all RSU awards, stock options, and other equity or equity-based awards held by Executive that remain unvested as of
the Separation Date shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the Separation Date without further consideration, and Executive shall have
no further right, title, or interest in any equity or equity-based award of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Clawback.** Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
Shares shall remain subject to the Company's Clawback Policy adopted pursuant to SEC Rule 10D-1 and the applicable listing standards
of Nasdaq, as such policy may be amended from time to time, to the same extent as if the RSUs had vested pursuant to their original terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e.** **No Legend.** Due to the fact that the Shares are registered
on the Registration Statement, no restrictive legend shall be required on the book-entry records evidencing the Shares, except to the
extent required by applicable law in respect of affiliate resale restrictions or as otherwise required by the Company's transfer
agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**f.** **Securities Laws Acknowledgments.** (i) Executive acknowledges
that, to the extent Executive is or was an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act as of the Separation Date, Executive's ability to resell the Shares may be subject to the volume, manner of sale, and other
limitations of Rule 144 for a period of 90 days following the date on which Executive ceases to be an affiliate. Executive agrees not
to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Shares in violation of applicable securities laws; and (ii) Executive acknowledges that
any sale or transfer of the Shares remains subject to the Company's Insider Trading Policy to the extent applicable following the
Separation Date.
