EX-10.1 2 dex101.htm SEPARATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN MR. MILLERICK AND THE COMPANY Separation Agreement between Mr. Millerick and the Company

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Analogic Corporation (the “Company”) and John J. Millerick (“Mr. Millerick”).

A. Mr. Millerick has informed the Company that he wishes to resign from the Company in order to pursue other opportunities.

B. The parties desire to enter into a written agreement embodying their mutual understanding and promises concerning the orderly transition of Mr. Millerick’s responsibilities and the resolution of all issues concerning Mr. Millerick’s employment at the Company and the termination of that employment.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

1. Separation Date.

a. Mr. Millerick hereby resigns, effective as of July 5, 2009, as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer of the Company, and from such other elected or appointed positions that may be held by Mr. Millerick in and for the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates). Mr. Millerick agrees to execute such additional documents and take such other actions as the Company may request to reflect such resignation.

b. Notwithstanding the foregoing resignation, the parties agree that Mr. Millerick will remain employed by the Company until September 29, 2009 (the “Separation Date”). As of the end of the business day on the Separation Date, Mr. Millerick will cease to be an employee of the Company, and cease to hold any other position with the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and employee benefit plans. In consideration of the Company’s promises under this Agreement, Mr. Millerick hereby waives and forever relinquishes any rights he may have under the Company’s Severance Plan for Management Employees (the “Severance Plan”) and any other severance pay plan or arrangement other than this Agreement. Mr. Millerick recognizes and agrees that this Section 1 would fully satisfy and discharge any obligation the Company might have to provide a “Notice Period” under the Severance Plan if Mr. Millerick did not waive and relinquish any rights he may have thereunder.

2. Payment for Vacation Days. The Company shall pay Mr. Millerick an amount equal to his daily rate of base salary as of the Separation Date multiplied by the number of accrued and unused vacation days (including any pro-rata portion thereof), less any applicable legally required or voluntarily authorized deductions and withholdings.

3. Severance Pay. In full consideration of Mr. Millerick’s acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and his execution of the Release of Claims and Agreement Not to Sue that is Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Release”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 14(b) below and his not revoking the Release during the revocation period


set forth in Section 15 below, and subject to his performance hereunder, the Company shall also provide Mr. Millerick with the following special benefits, which Mr. Millerick acknowledges and agrees he is not owed, and to which he would not otherwise be entitled:

a. For the period starting on the day after the Separation Date (as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement) and continuing for one year thereafter (September 30, 2009, through and including September 29, 2010) (the “Severance Period”), the Company shall pay Mr. Millerick amounts equal to what was formerly his regular base salary, at the rate in effect on the Separation Date, less legally required and voluntarily authorized deductions and withholdings (the “Severance Pay”). The Severance Pay shall be paid to Mr. Millerick in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices beginning promptly after the Separation Date, but in no event before the Effective Date (as defined in Section 17 of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of Severance Pay will be $279,450.12, before legally required and voluntarily authorized deductions and withholdings. In addition, the Company shall continue to pay the employer portion of Mr. Millerick’s group health (medical and dental) insurance and group life insurance premiums for continuing coverage during the Severance Period (the “Health Benefit”). Mr. Millerick hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Severance Pay will provide him with at least four (4) weeks more in salary continuation than he would otherwise be entitled to under the standard practices ordinarily applicable to management employees of the Company whose employment terminates under similar circumstances, and that the Health Benefit will provide him with at least four (4) weeks more in employer-paid group health insurance and group life insurance premiums than he would otherwise be entitled to under such standard practices.

b. Any amount due and owing as a result of Analogic financial performance for Fiscal Year 09 under the Analogic Annual Incentive Plan, as described under the Plan.

c. Any unpaid portions of the Severance Pay described in Section 3(a) of this Agreement shall be paid to Mr. Millerick’s estate in the event of his death, on the condition that he has signed this Agreement and executed the Release in accordance with the provisions of Section 14(b) below and has not exercised his right to revoke the Release under Section 15 of this Agreement.

d. Title to the laptop computer, monitor, mobile phone, and printer used by Mr. Millerick at the Company as of the Separation Date will be delivered to Mr. Millerick after the Effective Date. A lump sum payment equal to $1,000 representing the estimated cost of mobile phone services and certain professional memberships will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days, after the Effective Date. In addition, the telephone number that is associated with the mobile phone provided by Analogic will be transferred to Mr. Millerick, upon his request.

e. The Company will provide Mr. Millerick with career transition services through New Directions. The cost of providing such services shall be borne by the Company, such costs being paid no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.


f. Notwithstanding the termination of Mr. Millerick’s employment as set forth in this Agreement, any outstanding stock awards shall vest (or the restrictions shall lapse, as the case may be) according to the schedule attached hereto as Schedule 3f. Except as expressly modified in this Section 3(f), all other terms and conditions pertaining to the respective stock awards will remain in full force and effect.

Mr. Millerick recognizes and agrees that the provisions of this Section 3 and the other provisions of this Agreement would fully satisfy, discharge and exceed any obligation the Company might have to provide Mr. Millerick with “Severance Benefits” under the Severance Plan if Mr. Millerick did not waive and relinquish his rights thereunder pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement.

4. Other Assistance. At the request of Analogic, Mr. Millerick will assist Analogic in the preparation of all securities or other filings that may be required in connection with or that relate to Analogic’s fiscal year 2009. Mr. Millerick also agrees to cooperate with Analogic in transitioning his work and will provide such advice and perform such transition activities as are reasonably requested of him by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Analogic. In consideration of the foregoing, Analogic will pay Mr. Millerick the sum of $30,000.00, less legally required and voluntarily authorized deductions and withholdings, on or before July 31, 2009.

5. Continuation of Certain Benefits.

a. Mr. Millerick shall have all rights provided under federal or state law to continue participation in any group health (medical and dental) and life insurance plan sponsored by the Company in which he was a primary participant during his employment with the Company. After the end of the Severance Period, if Mr. Millerick elects to continue his participation in the Company’s group health (medical and dental) plans under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), he shall sign and return to the Company within the time limits provided under COBRA the forms that he will receive under separate cover. Mr. Millerick’s ability to elect to continue health insurance coverage under COBRA’s provisions and life insurance coverage shall be determined in accordance with the governing insurance policies. Until the Release becomes effective in accordance with Section 14 below, Mr. Millerick’s rights as to previously granted stock options and restricted stock awards, if any, shall be determined in accordance with the governing plan documents and, as applicable, the awards.

b. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, Mr. Millerick’s right to any and all Company benefits will terminate on the Separation Date.

6. Return of Company Property. Mr. Millerick acknowledges, warrants, and represents that on the Separation Date or upon earlier request by the Company, he will return all property owned by the Company that has been in his possession, custody, or control, including, but not limited to, any credit cards (or credit cards on which the Company is a guarantor), building or office keys, identification cards, laptops, telephones, pagers, and fax machines. As referenced in 3.(d) above, Mr. Millerick may retain his laptop computer, monitor, mobile phone


and printer following the Company’s removal of all confidential and proprietary information. Mr. Millerick agrees to repay to the Company the amounts of any temporary or permanent advances previously made to him by the Company which remain outstanding and any unpaid balances on any credit cards of monies due to the Company or for which the Company is a guarantor.

7. Integrity of Company Records. Mr. Millerick agrees to leave intact all electronic Company documents, including those that he developed or helped to develop during his employment, and agrees to deliver to the Company on the Separation Date and earlier upon request the computer media on which such documents are stored and all passwords and keys necessary to access such documents. Mr. Millerick warrants and represents to the Company that he has not concealed, falsified, deleted, destroyed, or altered any documents, emails, or other records of the Company, and that he has not copied any such materials without written permission from the Company, except as may be authorized by the Company’s written policies.

8. Protection of Confidential Information. Mr. Millerick acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company or any of its predecessor companies, he has had access to confidential information and trade secrets relating to business affairs of the Company and/or its predecessor companies or subsidiaries or affiliates (“Confidential Information”). Mr. Millerick agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Mr. Millerick agrees that, at no time following his execution of this Agreement, will he disclose or otherwise make available to any person, company, or other party, any Confidential Information. This Agreement shall not limit any obligations that Mr. Millerick may have under applicable federal or state laws or any other agreements that he may have with the Company. Mr. Millerick acknowledges and reaffirms his obligations under his Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company that was effective January 31, 2000 (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any provision of the Proprietary Information Agreement.

9. Business Expenses and Compensation. Mr. Millerick acknowledges that he has been reimbursed by the Company for all expenses incurred in connection with his employment at the Company and that no other reimbursements are currently owed to him. Mr. Millerick further acknowledges that he has received payment in full for all services rendered in conjunction with his employment through the Effective Date at the Company and that no other compensation is currently owed to him.

10. Confidentiality of This Agreement. Mr. Millerick agrees to hold this Agreement in confidence, and not to disclose, directly or by implication, any of its provisions, except (a) to his spouse or immediate family members, or his legal and financial advisors (in each case on the condition that those parties cannot disclose the same to any others, except as required by operation of law), and (b) to the extent required by law or to the extent necessary to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

11. Entitlement to Unemployment Benefits and Reemployment. The Company agrees not to challenge Mr. Millerick’s entitlement to any applicable unemployment compensation


benefits. Mr. Millerick agrees that at no time in the future will he seek employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, and he waives any right to do so.

12. Advice of Counsel. Mr. Millerick is advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement or the Release. By signing this Agreement, Mr. Millerick acknowledges and agrees that the Company has advised him in writing to consult with an attorney concerning this Agreement and the Release, including, but not limited to, by providing Mr. Millerick with a copy of this Agreement and the Release to review in detail before signing. Mr. Millerick further acknowledges and agrees that he is responsible for payment of all of his own legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the review of this Agreement and the Release and the resolution of any and all Claims that he may have against the Company.

13. No Solicitation or Disparagement; Competition. Mr. Millerick shall not, during the Severance Period, either directly or indirectly, on his behalf or on the behalf of others, solicit, divert, or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away, to any other business, any person currently employed by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Mr. Millerick shall not, either directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or its services or products or any of the persons or entities that are released under the provisions of the Release. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Mr. Millerick from providing truthful testimony in response to a subpoena or other legal process. The Company will instruct its senior managers, officers, and directors not to disparage Mr. Millerick, personally or professionally.

In addition, as of the Effective Date and as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Analogic Board of Directors, the Company shall be deemed to have released Mr. Millerick from any and all obligations not to compete with the Company following the Separation Date, including without limitation those arising out of those certain Non-Competition Agreements signed by Mr. Millerick during the period of his employment with the Company.

14. Conditions to Severance Pay and Health Benefit.

Any such revocation will not affect the termination of Mr. Millerick’s employment at the Company described in Section 1 of this Agreement, which will be effective as of the date set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement whether or not Mr. Millerick signs the Release or revokes the Release.

16. Knowing and Voluntary Agreement.

18. No Admission of Liability.

The Company disclaims any liability to Mr. Millerick or any other person on the part of itself and/or its current or former directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents. Mr. Millerick agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement shall not be interpreted to render either the Company or Mr. Millerick to be a prevailing party for any purpose including, but not limited to, an award of attorneys’ fees under any statute or otherwise.


19. No Pending Complaints; Cooperation.

a. By signing this Agreement, Mr. Millerick acknowledges and represents that neither he nor any of his representatives or assigns has filed any Claim against any of the Released Parties with any federal, state, or local court or administrative agency or in any forum, and that neither he nor any of his representatives or assigns is a party to any such Claim.

b. Mr. Millerick agrees, subject to his reasonable availability and reasonable advance notice, to cooperate reasonably with the Company, if requested by the Company or its counsel to do so, in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company. Mr. Millerick’s reasonable cooperation, in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, his being available to meet with Company counsel to prepare for trial or discovery or any administrative hearing or mediation or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, and to act as a witness when requested by the Company at reasonable times designated by the Company. The Company agrees to reimburse Mr. Millerick for reasonably documented travel, food, and lodging expenses in connection with the aforementioned cooperation. Mr. Millerick further agrees to execute and deliver such instruments, documents, certificates, and affidavits and supply such other information and take such further action as the Company reasonably requires in order to effectuate or further document Mr. Millerick’s removal from all offices, titles, statuses, and positions with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates effective as of the end of the business day on the Separation Date.

20. Successful Enforcement of Breach. In the event that Mr. Millerick is determined to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Release (or any other agreement or obligation binding on Mr. Millerick) by an Arbitrator under Section 23 of this Agreement, the Company will have no further obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement. In the event of Mr. Millerick’s breach and the Company’s successful enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or the Release (or any other agreement or obligation binding on Mr. Millerick) by judgment or settlement, then in addition to any other remedies and damages available under law, the Company shall also be entitled to repayment of all monies paid to Mr. Millerick pursuant to this Agreement, and shall also be entitled to an award for all legal expenses and fees, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Company in connection with its efforts to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or the Release (or any other agreement or obligation binding on Mr. Millerick). If the Company is determined to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement by an Arbitrator under Section 23 of this Agreement, then in addition to any other remedies and damages available under law, Mr. Millerick shall also be entitled to an award of all legal expenses and fees, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by him in connection with his efforts to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or the Release.

21. No Adequate Remedy at Law. Mr. Millerick agrees that it is impossible to measure in money all of the damages that will be incurred by the Company by reason of his breach of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the Release. Therefore, if the Company shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or the Release, Mr. Millerick hereby waives, and shall not raise in any such action or proceeding, the


claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

22. No Assignment. This Agreement is personal to Mr. Millerick and not assignable.

23. Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement, including the Release, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that the laws of the Commonwealth are preempted by federal law. If any part of this Agreement, including the Release, is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted, and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All disputes arising out of, or in connection with, the interpretation or breach of this Agreement or the Release, which are not promptly settled by mutual agreement of the parties, will be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties, such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Release, contains the entire agreement between Mr. Millerick and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Release, and there are no promises, undertakings or understandings as to such subject matter outside of this Agreement or the Release, except as may otherwise be stated in this Agreement or the Release. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, communications, understandings, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to Mr. Millerick’s employment at the Company, termination of that employment, and all related matters, except as may otherwise be stated in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither this Agreement nor the Release supersedes the Proprietary Information Agreement, which continues in full force and effect. Mr. Millerick’s rights to payments or employee benefits from the Company are specified exclusively and completely in this Agreement. This Agreement, including the Release, may only be modified or amended by a writing signed by an authorized officer of the Company and by Mr. Millerick.

25. Compliance with Code Section 409A.

a. General. It is intended that this Agreement comply with the requirements of, or qualify for an exemption from, Code Section 409A and the guidance issued thereunder. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Code Section 409A will be paid under the applicable exception. In no event may Mr. Millerick, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Agreement. Within the time period permitted by the applicable law, the Company may, in consultation with Mr. Millerick, modify this Agreement in order to cause the provisions of the Agreement to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties.

b. In-Kind Benefits and Reimbursements. Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement will be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (w) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Mr.


Millerick’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (x) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (y) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (z) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

c. Delay of Payments. Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Mr. Millerick is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of termination), (x) any payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that is otherwise due to Mr. Millerick under this Agreement during the six-month period following his separation from service (as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code) will be accumulated and paid to Mr. Millerick on the first business day of the seventh month following his separation from service (the “Delayed Payment Date”) and (y) in the event any equity compensation awards held by Mr. Millerick that vest upon termination of Mr. Millerick’s employment constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the delivery of shares of common stock (or cash) as applicable in settlement of such awards shall be made on the earliest permissible payment date (including the Delayed Payment Date) or event under Code Section 409A on which the shares (or cash) would otherwise be delivered or paid. Mr. Millerick will be entitled to interest on any delayed cash payments from the date of termination to the Delayed Payment Date at a rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate in effect under Code Section 1274(d) for the month in which the Millerick’s separation from service occurs. If Mr. Millerick dies during the postponement period, the amounts and entitlements delayed on account of Section 409A shall be paid to the personal representative of his estate on the first to occur of the Delayed Payment Date or 30 days after the date of his death.

d. Separate Payments. Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, any references to termination of employment or Mr. Millerick’s date of termination shall mean and refer to the date of his “separation from service,” as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Mr. Millerick and Analogic agree and anticipate that the level of bona fide services performed by Mr. Millerick after the Separation Date shall be permanently decreased beneath the level set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) to constitute a “separation from service” of Mr. Millerick from Analogic.


In Witness Whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement under seal by their signatures below.
