Exhibit 10.18

TERMINATION AGREEMENT

This is a termination agreement (this "Agreement") of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 8, 2016 (the "SPA"), by and between Energy Efficiency Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company ("EEI"), and JanOne Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc., which in 2016 was domiciled in Minnesota ("JanOne"). EEI and JanOne are sometimes individually referred to herein as a "Party" or, collectively, as the "Parties." The Effective Date" of this Agreement is December 31, 2019.

WHEREAS, EEI and JanOne entered into the SPA and, contemporaneously therewith, certain agreements collateral thereto (i.e., (i) a 3% Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the "Initial Note") with a five-year term in the initial principal amount of $103,092.78 (inclusive of an original issue discount) and (ii) a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Initial Warrant"), exercisable for the purchase of up to 166,817 (pre-split) shares of JanOne's common stock);

WHEREAS, as obligated under the SPA, JanOne issued to EEI an aggregate of 619,547 pre-reverse split shares (or 123,909 post-reverse split shares) of JanOne's common stock as "Commitment Shares" (as that term is defined therein);

WHEREAS, EEI converted all of JanOne's obligations in favor of EEI under the Initial Note into shares of JanOne's common stock;

WHEREAS, EEI has not exercised the Initial Warrant in full or in part;

WHEREAS, the terms and conditions of the SPA obligate EEI to lend to JanOne up to $7,500,000 (net of original issue discount) upon JanOne providing a series of Put Rights (as defined therein) to EEI for a five-year period that expires on November 8, 2021;

WHEREAS, the business reasons that caused JanOne to enter into the SPA in 2016 are no longer extant and, accordingly, JanOne desires to relieve in full EEI of its obligations under the SPA; and

WHEREAS, for various internal business reasons, EEI is amenable to being relieved in full of its obligations under the SPA.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these presents and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.Termination of Parties' Rights, Duties, and Obligations. All of the rights, duties, and obligations of each of EEI and JanOne under the SPA are terminated as of the Effective Date.

2.Return of Certain of the Commitment Shares. EEI shall return to JanOne for cancellation 122,257 (post-reverse split) of the Commitment Shares and shall be entitled retain up to 1,652 (post-reverse split) of the Commitment Shares. Such to-be-cancelled 

LIVE and EEI Termination Agreement.31

 

number is the product of a ratio, the numerator of which is 100,000 (which represents the purchase price of the Initial Note) and the denominator of which is 7,500,000 (which represents the aggregate maximum purchase price under the SPA for all of the potential subsequent notes), in each case without taking into account the original issue discount for the Initial Note and all potential subsequent notes. EEI represents and warrants to JanOne that it has not sold or otherwise transferred any of the Commitment Shares.

3.Maintenance of the Initial Warrant. JanOne acknowledges that EEI may maintain ownership, exercise, or otherwise dispose of (a) the Initial Warrant, all in accordance with its terms and conditions and, if relevant, (b) the shares of JanOne's common stock underlying the Initial Warrant or into which the Initial Warrant may be or may have been exercised in whole or in part.

4.Mutual Release. Except to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and as otherwise provided hereinbelow, each of the Parties, on behalf of themselves, their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives, attorneys, affiliates and related entities, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns, and agents, hereby releases and discharges the other Party, and its respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives, attorneys, affiliates and related entities, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns, and agents and each of them from any and all actions, claims, causes of action, judgments, liens, promises, agreements, contracts, obligations, transactions, indebtedness, costs, damages, losses, lawsuits, arbitrations, appeals, claims, liabilities, indemnifications, debts, demands, attorneys' fees, or costs Of expenses of any nature whatsoever relating to the SPA, the Initial Note, the Initial Warrant, and all transactions contemplated thereby.

5.Waiver of Unknown Claims. It is the intention of the Parties that this mutual release be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and release of each and every claim, whether known or unknown, that either of the Parties may have against the other Party respect of the SPA, the Initial Note, the Initial Warrant, and all transactions contemplated thereby. In furtherance of this intention, each Party acknowledges that it is familiar with California Civil Code §1542, which provides 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 DEBTOR."

Each Party expressly waives and relinquishes any right or benefit it might have under §1542 of the California Civil Code or any relevant similar statute to the full extent that it may lawfully waive such rights and benefits.

6.Miscellaneous Provisions.

Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
