AGREEMENT (President and Chief Operating Officer)
EXHIBIT 10.7
AGREEMENT
(President and Chief Operating Officer)
(President and Chief Operating Officer)
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 12th day of May, 2006, by and between
Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx (“Executive”) and OrthoLogic Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
1. Services. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Executive shall serve as the
Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer with responsibility for all clinical and regulatory
strategy and operations. Executive shall devote the time, attention, skill and efforts to the
performance of such duties as are normal and customary to the positions of President and Chief
Operating Officer as required by or reasonably requested by the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”). Executive agrees to use his best efforts to comply with any and all rules of conduct
established by the Company and to perform any and all assigned duties in a manner that is
acceptable to the Company.
2. Compensation; Bonus; Reimbursement.
(a) Compensation. Company shall pay Executive annual base cash compensation of
$300,000 payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, retroactive to May 1,
2006. Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation under any consulting or similar
arrangement with the Company during the term of this Agreement in respect of periods after May 1,
2006.
(b) Bonuses. Executive shall be entitled to participate in a discretionary bonus plan
established for Executive from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
“Compensation Committee”) with reasonable consultation with Executive. Executive’s target bonus
will be 40% of his annual base cash compensation upon the achievement of individual and corporate
performance objectives established jointly from time to time by the Compensation Committee and
Executive. Such cash bonus, if earned, will be payable to Executive annually on or before the
first day of April immediately following the end of the calendar year for which it is earned. Any
bonus will be paid in such manner so that it is not subject to the provisions of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
that intention.
(c) Equity and Equity-Based Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to participate
in the Company’s equity compensation plans, including, but not limited to, the 1997 Stock Option
Plan, as amended, and the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, all subject to the terms and conditions
provided therein.
(d) Reimbursement. In addition to the compensation provided above, the Company shall
reimburse Executive, in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company in effect from
time to time with respect to other members of senior management of the Company, for all reasonable
and necessary traveling expenses and other disbursements incurred by him for or on behalf of the
Company in connection with the performance of his duties
hereunder upon presentation by Executive
to the Company of appropriate documentation therefor.
(e) Fringe Benefits. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, Executive will
not be entitled to participate in health, welfare, retirement or other similar benefit programs
made available from time to time to other executives and employees of the Company.
3. Termination.
(a) Executive understands and acknowledges that the services to be provided by Executive to
the Company hereunder constitute an “at-will” relationship between the parties. Either the Company
or Executive may terminate Executive’s services to the Company hereunder, with or without cause,
notice or procedural formality, for no reason or for any reason not prohibited by law, at any time.
No individual or individuals associated with the Company, other than the Compensation Committee
acting pursuant to the powers granted to it by the Company, has authority to make any agreement to
the contrary, or any agreement for any specified period of time. Any such agreement must be in
writing and approved by the Compensation Committee to be effective.
(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement, neither Executive nor Executive’s beneficiaries or
estate shall have any further rights under this Agreement or any claims against the Company arising
out of this Agreement, except that Executive shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid
compensation and benefits which are then due and owing as of the date of termination, and, in the
event of a termination by the Company without cause, Executive shall be entitled to a continuation
of his base cash compensation, less applicable withholdings, at the rate in effect at the time of
the termination of this Agreement, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll
practices as if Executive were continuing his services to the Company, for a period of (i) if such
termination occurs before a Change of Control, as defined below, three months from the date of
termination or (ii) if such termination follows or is in connection with a Change of Control, six
months from the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall include neglect
of duties, willful failure to abide by instructions or policies from or set by the Board,
commission of a felony or serious misdemeanor offense or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to
same, Executive’s breach of this Agreement or Executive’s breach of any other material obligation
to the Company.
(c) Upon the termination of this Agreement, Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company
all equipment, documents and other company property in his possession, custody or control.
(d) As used herein, the term “Change of Control” shall be defined as a change in ownership or
control of the Company effected through any of the following transactions:
(i) a statutory share exchange, merger, consolidation or reorganization approved by the
Company’s stockholders, unless securities representing more than 50% of the total combined voting
power of the voting securities of the successor corporation are
2
immediately thereafter beneficially
owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s outstanding
voting securities immediately prior to such transaction;
(ii) any stockholder approved transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets (whether held directly or indirectly through one or more controlled subsidiaries)
except to or with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company); or
(iii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly by any person or related group of persons of
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the
Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to transactions with the Company’s stockholders and not
solely by direct purchase from the Company.

all respects be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns, representatives, heirs and estate, as applicable. Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto without
the consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that the Company may assign this
Agreement in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a merger.
7. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended orally but only by an instrument in
writing executed by the Company and Executive.
