This Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (hereinafter, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 13th day of February 2007, by and between Isonics Corporation (“Isonics”) and James E. Alexander (“Mr. Alexander”).  Isonics and Mr. Alexander are referred to jointly herein as “the Parties.”

RECITALS

A.Mr. Alexander had been an officer, director, and employee of Isonics for more than the past ten years.

B.By this agreement, Isonics and Mr. Alexander have determined that it is in their best interests to resolve all disagreements and issues between them and to provide for the resolution of all issues relating to Mr. Alexander’s employment with Isonics, service as an officer and director thereof, and the termination of his employment and resignation as an officer and director (collectively the “Issues”) in exchange for the consideration set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and promises and for other valuable consideration as described below, and without admitting any fault or liability on the part of any of the Parties, their officers, directors, or affiliates, the Parties hereby terminate the employment agreement between Mr. Alexander and Isonics dated September 22, 1997, and further enter into this Agreement.

1.Mr. Alexander’s Acknowledgements, Representations, and Agreement.

a.Mr. Alexander hereby submits his resignation as an officer and director of Isonics and acknowledges that he has no authority to act or to make representations on behalf of Isonics or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof.

b.Mr. Alexander represents that he has returned all of the property of and information pertaining to Isonics, its subsidiaries and its affiliates, in his possession and control.  Mr. Alexander further represents to Isonics that he does not have any complete or partial copies of any of this property, either written or on tape, disk, diskette or other storage media.  Mr. Alexander acknowledges that if he later learns that he has any property that belongs to Isonics, he is obliged to notify Isonics and to make arrangements to return all such property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties have agreed that Mr. Alexander will take ownership of the twelve year old custom made furniture in his office at Isonics and also of the two laptops in his possession, after they have been cleaned of all Isonics related information.

c.Mr. Alexander agrees that he will not disparage Isonics or any of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, or agents.  Mr. Alexander further acknowledges that (to the extent he has received confidential or non-public information regarding Isonics) he will comply with his legal obligations with respect thereto.  Failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph may, in addition to any other remedies available under applicable law and at Isonics’ option, result in a termination of any payments and benefits which have not been made as of the first day of the month following such failure.

d.Mr. Alexander agrees that during the period of his continuing employment with Isonics and thereafter, he will assist Isonics’ executive chairman, chief executive officer and chief financial officer with transition matters and the litigation against Grant Thornton LLP.

e.Mr. Alexander hereby grants the enclosed proxy by which the named proxy holder can vote all shares of Isonics common stock held in his name, in the name of the James and Carol Alexander Foundation, in the name of Carol Alexander, and any other beneficial ownership controlled by him for approval of Isonics’ 2007 Restructuring Equity Plan and any amendment to the Isonics 2005 Stock Option Plan that may be proposed at the next meeting of shareholders of Isonics.

f.Mr. Alexander agrees that, at all times from the date of this Agreement and for a period of one  year thereafter, he will not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage (or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit or encourage) any of Isonics’ employees to leave their employment.  Failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph may, in addition to any other remedies available under applicable law and at Isonics’ option, result in a termination of any payments and benefits which have not been made as of the first day of the month following such failure.

2.Settlement Consideration.

a.Isonics will pay Mr. Alexander compensation for continuing employment of $206,244, in the form of three payments of $22,916 each payment, commencing February 28, 2007 (for the period from February 16 through March 15, 2007) and on or before the last day of the two months thereafter, and then twelve payments of $11,458.  Isonics will make this payment directly into Mr. Alexander’s account and will deduct all normal withholdings from that payment in accordance with its normal payroll practices, and such payments made be made semi-monthly in accordance with Isonics’ normal payroll practices.

b.Mr. Alexander hereby surrenders all options issued to him under the 2005 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Executive’s Plan for cancellation.

c.Mr. Alexander will continue to be an employee of Isonics during the period ending on the last day of the month that payments are being made to him pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (the “Employment Period”), and will be entitled to participate in

Isonics normal employee benefits except the accrual of personal time off (“PTO”) which ceases on the date hereof.  Mr. Alexander will respond to reasonable requests, spending such time as he deems necessary, for information and assistance during the Employment Period.  Isonics will use its best efforts to avoid exposing Mr. Alexander to any material non-public information without advising Mr. Alexander in advance that the information it is providing with respect to a project is material non-public information. Further, Isonics understands that Mr. Alexander will pursue significant outside interests during the Employment Period and understands that any requests for information and assistance will be subordinate to his outside interests.  Isonics does not expect Mr. Alexander to report to Isonics’ offices or deal with Isonics personnel except upon written or oral request of the chairman of the audit committee, the executive chairman of Isonics, or the chief executive officer of Isonics.

d.Isonics will issue to Mr. Alexander 250,000 shares of common stock from Isonics’ 2005 Stock Option Plan (such number of shares being calculated after the effectiveness of the reverse stock split scheduled to be completed on February 13, 2007), such issuance being subject to: (i) Mr. Alexander executing and returning an acceptable subscription agreement for those shares; and (ii) either Mr. Alexander providing evidence to Isonics that he owes no income tax liability on that amount, or that he has made adequate provision for such liability.  If the parties are unable to achieve a method of satisfying the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities for the payment of any withholding necessary with respect to the issuance of the shares, the parties will negotiate in good faith an issuance of shares or other compensation to Mr. Alexander with an equal economic benefit to Mr. Alexander but which will not materially adversely impact Isonics’ cash position or other financial obligations.  In connection with the issuance of the shares of common stock referenced in this Section 2(d), Mr. Alexander represents and warrants to Isonics:

·              He is an accredited investors as that term is defined in §2(a)(15) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”);

·              He has received such information about Isonics as is, in his opinion, reasonably necessary for him to make his decision whether to accept such shares;

·              He has discussed the acceptance of such shares with his legal, financial, tax, investment and other advisors to the extent that he has determined such consultation to be appropriate or necessary;

·              He understands the risks associated with receiving and holding shares of Isonics common stock.

e.Reports.  The Parties agree to make all necessary and usual reports to the Internal Revenue Service, state taxing authorities and any similar agencies and to perform all withholdings normally applicable to the types and amounts of payments and other consideration Mr. Alexander is to receive as a result of this Agreement.

f.No Other Payment or Employee Benefit.  Isonics will make only the payments expressly stated in this Agreement and will provide no other payments or benefits to Mr. Alexander.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Isonics will, pay full amounts accrued by Mr. Alexander in each qualified retirement plan maintained by Isonics in which he participates.

3.General Release by Isonics.  In consideration for Mr. Alexander’s releases and agreements contained in this Agreement and upon its receipt of a fully executed and notarized copy of this Agreement, Isonics and each of Isonics’ officers, directors, employees, and agents, and for anyone who has or obtains rights or claims from Isonics, forever releases and discharges Mr. Alexander and each of Mr. Alexander’s heirs, beneficiaries, successors, assigns, agents, employees, executors, administrators, and representatives from any and all claims and causes of action arising before the effective date of this Agreement, whether known or unknown and including, but not limited to, all claims arising out of Mr. Alexander’s employment with Isonics or arising out of any act or omission of Mr. Alexander made in good faith as Isonics’ employee; provided, however, Isonics’ release does not include a release for any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement, or arising from any fraud or willful misconduct by Mr. Alexander or a breach of this Agreement.
