This Severance and Release Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Lisa Davis on behalf
of yourself, your heirs, administrators, agents and representatives (''You") and Electronic Classroom of
Tomorrow, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as their officers, directors, agents,
representatives, shareholders and employees (collectively referred to as "ECOT").

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be
legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

1, Severance. In exchange for your promises in this Agreement, ECOT will provide you the
Severance Benefits described in Section 2. Your Severance Date is July 5, 2017.

2. Severance Benefits.

a. You shall be entitled to Severance Pay in an amount equal to two (2) weeks base
salary ("Severance Pay''). The Severance Pay will be paid on the basis of your annual base salary in effect
on June 30, 2017, less applicable withholdings and payroll deductions. The Severance Pay will be made in
installments beginning on or about the first payroll period following the Effective Date of this Agreement in
accordance with ECOT's regular payroll periods and practices. This Agreement will become effective after
the seven-day period described in Section 14 expires without your revocation.

b. You will receive continued health care coverage, concurrently with COBRA, in the
plan in which you are currently enrolled, at the payroll deduction rate through August 31, 2017. Beginning on
September 1, 2017, you will be eligible for continued health care coverage through COBRA, but at the full
COBRA premium.

c. If you are employed in a position in which you accrue sick time, you will receive a
lump sum payout equal to 25% of your sick time bank ("Sick Time Payout") as it existed on your Severance
Date. If you are employed in a position in which you receive paid time off, as opposed to sick time, you will
receive a lump sum payout equal to 75% of your paid time off bank ("PTO Payout") as it existed on your
Severance Date. If you are employed in a position in which you receive both sick time and paid time off, you
will receive a lump sum payout equal to 25% of your sick time bank and 75% of your PTO bank as they
existed on your Severance Date.

d. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you acknowledge that the
benefits you will receive under this Agreement are greater than those benefits you would have been entitled
to receive upon Severance of employment in the absence of this Agreement.

3. Re-employment by ECOT. If you accept a position with ECOT prior to receipt of all the
Severance Pay provided in this Agreement, you will forfeit any unpaid Severance payments.

4. Confidentiality of this Agreement. You agree not to disclose, or discuss with, any person
(other than your spouse, attorney and tax or other financial advisor) any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, except as may be required to notify a potential employer of your confidentiality obligations.
Except as permitted in this Section 4, disclosure of any term of this Agreement is a material breach.

5. Waiver & Release of Employment Claims. You, for yourself and your successors, assigns,
heirs, agents and legal representatives, knowingly and voluntarily agree to waive and release ECOT,
including its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, and its related, affiliated, and
associated companies (including without limitation the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West and

relating to wrongful termination, breach of contract (express or implied), breach of implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, misrepresentation (intentional, fraudulent or negligent), estoppel, public policy violation,
whistleblowing, defamation, infiiction of emotional distress (intentional or negligent), negligence, personal
injury of any kind and invasion of privacy.

in an investigation conducted by certain government agencies. You acknowledge and agree, however, that
you are releasing and waiving your right to any individual monetary recovery should any government agency
pursue any claims on your behalf that arose prior to the effective date of this Agreement. You are also not
waiving or releasing any of your employee benefits that have already vested according to the terms of
ECOT's benefits plans.

d. You agree that you have been properly paid for all hours worked, have not suffered
any on-the-job injury for which you have not already filed a claim and you have been properly provided any
