RECITALS

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by the Company as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer;

WHEREAS, Executive is a participant in the FLIR Systems, Inc. Severance Plan as effective May 1, 2017 (the “Severance Plan”) and may be eligible for certain benefits of the Severance Plan, subject to Executive’s compliance with the requirements of the Severance Plan.

WHEREAS, Executive is a party to an agreement protecting the confidentiality of Company information in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to accept Executive’s resignation of his employment and Board position with the Company effective March 31, 2019;
WHEREAS, the Company would like to retain Executive’s services as a consultant after the termination of his employment and Executive has agreed to provide such services; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Separation of Employment. Executive and the Company mutually agree to terminate Executive’s employment “other than for cause” as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Severance Plan effective no later than March 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”) and waive the notice provisions and other requirements of the Severance Plan. Executive understands and agrees that he remains an at-will employee and that either the Company or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice. If termination of employment occurs before March 31, 2019, the “Termination Date” will be the effective date of such earlier termination of employment. Until the Termination Date, Executive will continue to serve in the role of Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Executive will stop serving as the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer effective February 9, 2019. During the remainder of his employment, Executive will use his best efforts to facilitate an effective, complete and orderly transition of all of his knowledge, duties and projects to his successor or designee(s) as may be specified by the CEO.
2.Consideration. The Company agrees to make the following payments and provide the following benefits to Executive:

99988678.4 0010327- 000151





Exhibit 10.1

a)
Salary through the Termination Date. The Company shall pay Executive his current base salary and auto allowance through the Termination Date.
b)
Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive a bonus for calendar year 2018 in an amount equal to Executive’s target bonus multiplied by the level of achievement percentage to the Company performance plan for 2018, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its February board meeting without reduction or offset of any kind. (Example: Bonus Target of 75%; 119% performance to 2018 plan; Bonus = Base Salary x Bonus Target x 1.19).
c)
Accrued Vacation. The Company shall pay Executive for 300 hours of accrued vacation within seven days following the Termination Date.
d)
Severance. Provided Executive shall have signed and not revoked this Agreement in accordance with Section 24 below, the Company shall pay Executive his current base salary of $434,000 plus his current annual target bonus of $325,500 and his annual auto allowance of $18,000 (“Severance Pay”). The Severance Pay shall be paid in equal payments over 26 bi-weekly pay periods in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices beginning on the first payroll date that occurs after the Termination Date (“Severance Period”). Any material breach of this Agreement by Executive during the Severance Period shall entitle the Company to stop making any further payments and recover from Executive all Severance Pay paid as of date of the breach.
e)
Continued Health Benefits. The Company shall reimburse Executive for continued health coverage under COBRA for a 12 (twelve) month period following Executive’s Termination Date. The Company will provide Executive a taxable payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the Effective Date (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence in the month following the month of the Termination Date and continue for the period of twelve (12) months thereafter.
f)
Equity vesting. Executive’s unvested and outstanding equity awards vested or eligible for accelerated vesting identified in Exhibit A will vest in full on the Termination Date or as specified in Exhibit A and options will continue to be exercisable under the terms of issuance for 3 months following the end of the Consulting Term (as defined in 3 below).
g)
Severance Plan and Change of Control Agreement. Executive agrees and confirms that the payments and benefits above include all of the payments and benefits to which he is entitled under the Severance Plan and Executive is not entitled to any additional amounts under the Severance Plan. Further, Executive agrees and confirms that all payments and benefits described above are subject to the terms of the Severance Plan (including, but not limited to, (1) the requirement that Executive comply with Section 6 of the Severance Plan, and (2) the payment timing and other rules of Sections 9 and 10 of the Severance Plan). Executive agrees and confirms that on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 24 below in this Agreement), Executive’s Change of Control Agreement dated October 21, 2014 will be terminated and of no further force or effect.

Date, under no circumstances will Executive be entitled to any payments or benefits under the Change of Control Agreement.
3.Consulting Term. Executive shall serve as a Consultant to the Company for a period of nine (9) months Immediately following the Termination Date (the “Consulting Term”).

a)
As a Consultant, and on an as-needed basis upon reasonable notice from the Company, Executive shall provide transition and other related advisory services to the Company during the Consulting Term in order to assist in providing an effective transition of Executive’s responsibilities to Executive’s successor as directed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on matters involving Company legal matters and other matters as are specified by the Board or the Company’s CEO.
b)
Executive and the Company agree that, during the Consulting Term, the services that Executive may perform for the Company as a Consultant shall not be in excess of an average of ten (10) hours per month. Executive will perform these services while based in New Hampshire but may be asked to travel on behalf of Company.
c)
As compensation for Executive’s services during the Consulting Term, the Company shall pay Executive a consulting fee of $36,167 per month (pro-rated for any partial month), less applicable taxes and withholdings. Additionally, Executive’s unvested and outstanding equity awards eligible for accelerated vesting identified in Exhibit B will vest as specified in Exhibit B. Such payment is in addition to the severance payments described in Section 2 above.
d)
During the Consulting Term, upon presentation of appropriate receipts, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all documented, out-of-pocket expenses Executive incurs in the performance of Executive’s duties as a Consultant, including but not limited to expenses Executive incurs when traveling on Company business when requested by the Board or the Company’s CEO.

99988678.4 0010327- 000154





Exhibit 10.1

incurred under this Agreement. This release does not release claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including any Protected Activity (as defined below). This release does not extend to any right Executive may have to unemployment compensation benefits nor does this release waive or release any claim or right to indemnification under applicable contract or state or federal law.
6.Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA. Executive acknowledges that Executive is waiving and releasing any rights Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Executive agrees that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which Executive was already entitled. Executive further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that: (a) Executive should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) Executive has twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Executive has seven (7) days following Executive’s execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the day following expiration of the revocation period; and (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. In the event Executive signs this Agreement and returns it to the Company in less than the 21-day period identified above, Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and understands that revocation must be accomplished by a written notification to the person executing this Agreement on the Company’s behalf that is received prior to the Effective Date. The Parties agree that changes, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 21-day period.

7.Unknown Claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with legal counsel and that Executive is familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in Executive’s favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by Executive, must have materially affected Executive’s settlement with the releasee. Executive, being aware of said principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Executive may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

8.No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Executive represents that Executive has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in Executive’s name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Executive also represents that Executive does not intend to bring any claims on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees.

9.Confidentiality. Subject to Section 12 governing Protected Activity, Executive agrees to maintain in complete confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, and the consideration for this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Separation Information”). Except as required by law, Executive may disclose Separation Information only to Executive’s immediate family members, the Court in any proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement, Executive’s attorney(s), and Executive’s accountant(s) and any professional tax advisor(s) to the extent that they need to know the Separation Information in order to provide advice on tax treatment or to prepare tax returns, and must prevent disclosure of any Separation Information

99988678.4 0010327- 000155





Exhibit 10.1

to all other third parties. Executive agrees that Executive will not publicize, directly or indirectly, any Separation Information.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the confidentiality of the Separation Information is a material term of this Agreement. The Parties agree that if the Company proves that Executive breached this Confidentiality provision, the Company shall be entitled to an award of its costs spent enforcing this provision, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the enforcement action, without regard to whether the Company can establish actual damages from Executive’s breach, except to the extent that such breach constitutes a legal action by Executive that directly pertains to the ADEA. Any such individual breach or disclosure shall not excuse Executive from Executive’s obligations hereunder, nor permit Executive to make additional disclosures. Executive warrants that Executive has not disclosed, orally or in writing, directly or indirectly, any of the Separation Information to any unauthorized party.

10.Trade Secrets and Confidential Information/Company Property. Executive agrees at all times hereafter to hold in the strictest confidence, and not to use or disclose to any person or entity, any Confidential Information of the Company and, if applicable, to continue to abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Executive understands that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Executive has called or with whom Executive became acquainted during the term of Executive’s employment), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, or other business information disclosed to Executive by the Company either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment. Executive further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items that have become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Executive’s or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or improvements or new versions thereof. Executive hereby grants consent to notification by the Company to any new employer about Executive’s obligations under this paragraph. Executive represents that Executive has not to date misused or disclosed Confidential Information to any unauthorized party. Executive’s signature below constitutes Executive’s certification under penalty of perjury that Executive will return at the conclusion of the Consulting Term all documents and other items provided to Executive by the Company, developed or obtained by Executive in connection with Executive’s employment or consultancy with the Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company.

11.No Cooperation. Subject to Section 12 governing Protected Activity, Executive agrees that Executive will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. Executive agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Executive shall state no more than that Executive cannot provide counsel or assistance.


99988678.4 0010327- 000156





Exhibit 10.1

12.Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Executive from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” shall mean filing a charge, complaint, or report with, or otherwise communicating, cooperating, or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”). Executive understands that in connection with such Protected Activity, Executive is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential information under the Confidentiality Agreement and/or Section 11 of this Agreement to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Executive further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications. Any language in the Confidentiality Agreement regarding Executive’s right to engage in Protected Activity that conflicts with, or is contrary to, this paragraph is superseded by this Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive is notified that an individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official (directly or indirectly) or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if (and only if) such filing is made under seal. In addition, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the individual’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

13.Non-disparagement. Executive agrees to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of any of the Releasees, and agrees to refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of any of the Releasees.

14.Breach. In addition to the rights provided in the “Attorneys’ Fees” section below, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement, unless such breach constitutes a legal action by Executive challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA, or of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement and/or Section 10 of this Agreement shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease providing the consideration provided to Executive under this Agreement and to obtain damages, except as provided by law.

15.No Admission of Liability. Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Executive. No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Executive or to any third party.

16.Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.

Executive further agrees to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, interest, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of (a) Executive’s failure to pay or delayed payment of federal or state taxes, or (b) damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including attorneys’ fees and costs.

18.Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Each Party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein.

19.Severability. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision.

20.Attorneys’ Fees. Except with regard to a legal action challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA, in the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such an action.

21.Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with and separation from the Company and the events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Confidentiality Agreement, if applicable, the Severance Plan and the Stock Agreements, except as otherwise modified or superseded herein.

22.No Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Executive and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

23.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard for choice-of-law provisions.
