 Exhibit 10.10 
  
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 25th day of August, 2005, by and between Reptron Electronics, Inc. (“Reptron” or the “Company”) and Bonitta Fena (“Employee”) in order to fully and completely resolve any and
all issues that Employee might have in connection with her employment with, or provision of services to the Company. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Date of Separation. Employee shall resign from her
employment with Company and any other positions that she may possess with the Company on July 31, 2005 (the “Termination Date”). All her employment-related benefits shall cease effective such date unless specifically stated otherwise
herein. Effective on the Termination Date, Employee agrees not to enter into any agreements or bind the Company to any commitments except as specifically authorized and approved in writing by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 

 
 2. Severance. Company will pay Employee a severance payment of One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), payable in monthly installments on the last business day of the month over the following twelve (12) months commencing with the month immediately following the Termination Date (“Severance
Period”). Such payment shall be subject to normal tax and other withholdings and deductions. Employee acknowledges and confirms that she is currently entitled to no severance payment and that the benefits provided in this Agreement would not be
provided if Employee did not sign this Agreement. This severance payment is conditioned upon Employee’s full compliance with all of Employee’s obligations set forth herein. Violation of any of the covenants applicable to Employee contained
in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a breach of Sections 10, 13 and/or 14, shall entitle the Company to immediately cease making payments hereunder and to recover any and all payments previously made without effecting the validity of
the other provisions herein. 
  
 3. Expenses. Employee
agrees to submit all requests for expense reimbursements to the Company by the Termination Date. The Company agrees to process such requests pursuant to its normal policies and procedures. 
  
 4. Insurance Benefits. Employee understands that she is eligible to
continue her participation in certain benefits pursuant to COBRA. Except as provided in this Section 4, payment of such COBRA premiums shall be solely Employee’s responsibility. During the Severance Period, Employee shall be eligible to
continue her participation in the Company’s medical benefit plan. 
  
 5. Payment in Full. By this Agreement, Employee is agreeing to fully and finally resolve any disputes and claims that she might have against the Company through the payment set forth above and the other terms of this Agreement.
Employee hereby confirms that no other amounts are due and/or owed to her by the Company or any other Associated Person other than as provided in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 above. 

 6. Waiver and Release of Claims. In return for the benefits conferred by this Agreement, Employee,
on behalf of herself and her marital community (if any), heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, hereby releases in full, and forever discharges, acquits, and holds harmless, Company, including any of Company’s past or present parent,
subsidiary or otherwise affiliated corporations, partnerships, or other business enterprises, and all of its or their past or present affiliates, related entities, partners, subsidiaries, insurers, predecessors, successors, assigns, directors,
officers, shareholders, attorneys, accountants, representatives, agents and employees (these entities/persons together with Company are collectively referred to as “Associated Persons”), from any and all claims, disputes, suits, demands,
causes of action, liabilities, damages, expenses and obligations of every nature, character and kind (collectively “Claims”), whether known or unknown, which may now exist or hereafter may be discovered, specifically including without
limitation any and all Claims arising from or relating to Employee’s employment with Company or her provision of services to Company, or the termination of such employment or services, except for any Claim for payment or performance pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and the right to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (although Employee fully and finally waives her right to obtain any personal benefit, relief or damages related to any such EEOC claim or
charge). This release includes, but is not limited to, any Claims that Employee might have for reemployment or for additional compensation or payments, including without limitation any claim for any past, current or future wages,
bonuses, incentive payments, sick leave or vacation pay-out, benefits or severance and applies to claims for damages or other personal remedy that she might have under federal, state and/or local law, regulation, ordinance or order dealing with
employment, contract, wage and hour, tort, or civil rights matters, including, by way of example and not limitation, applicable state civil rights laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Post-War Civil Rights Acts (42 USC Sections
1981-1988), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Executive Order 11246, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Minnesota Statutes, and any
regulations under such laws. This release shall not affect any reimbursement rights Employee may currently possess under any medical insurance or any accrued rights under any retirement savings plan. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THROUGH
THIS RELEASE SHE IS GIVING UP ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE WHATSOEVER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, CONTINGENT OR LIQUIDATED, THAT SHE MAY HAVE AGAINST REPTRON, AND THE OTHER PERSONS NAMED ABOVE, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHTS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED
ABOVE. 
  
 7. Dismissal of Pending Claims. Employee
represents that she has filed no Claim or other action against Company, including Associated Persons. In addition, Employee represents that she has not assigned any claims released herein to any other person or entity. 
  
 8. Non-Admission of Liability. The Company is offering these benefits
to Employee due to its desire to have a long-term amicable relationship with her and to allow all parties to settle any disputed claims. This Agreement shall not be construed as an admission by either party of any liability to the other, breach of
any agreement between the parties, or violation by the Company or Associated Persons of any statute or regulation. 
  
 9. Return of Property. Employee agrees to and hereby represents that she has returned to the Company all of its property in her possession or under
her control, including all

she has entered into on the Company’s behalf or as the Company’s representative.

entity, publicly or privately, concerning the Company, its products or services, or its past, present or future officers, directors or employees or other Associated Persons. As provided in Section 2 above, failure by Employee to fully comply with
this nondisparagement obligation or any of Employees other obligations under this Agreement shall entitle the Company to immediately cease making payments hereunder and to recover any and all payments previously made pursuant to this Agreement and
all provisions in this Agreement other than the severance payment provision shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 11. Continuing Assistance. Employee agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Company and its employees in a timely and responsive manner
during the period of time during which she is receiving severance payments for no additional payment from the Company. It shall be the Company’s responsibility to request assistance when needed. The Company and Employee will develop a mutually
agreed upon schedule to perform such services. Employee shall devote her best efforts and work in the Company’s best interests whenever her assistance is requested pursuant to this Section. 
  
 12. Confidentiality. Employee agrees to keep the terms of this
Agreement, specifically including without limitation, the amount of the severance pay, and the fact that she received severance pay, strictly confidential. Employee may disclose the terms of this Agreement to her spouse, accountant, attorney and
taxing authorities only as may be necessary for her financial affairs or as required by law.

or (b) can be demonstrated by written evidence or other reasonable evidence to have been known by Employee on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to Employee by Company or one of its representatives. 
  
 13.2 Access to Information. Employee acknowledges that in the course
of her employment with Company, she has had access to Confidential Information, that such information is a valuable asset of Company, and that its disclosure or unauthorized use will cause Company substantial harm.

in this Section 13 will continue for so long as Employee possesses Confidential Information.

any excerpts, notes or copies, and all equipment, supplies, or other property belonging to Company. 
  
 14. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. 
  
 14.1 Competitive Entity. For purposes of this Agreement, a Competitive Entity is any person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, business trust, or other entity that is engaged in a business that competes with any business activity engaged in by Company. 
  
 14.2 Covenant. For one (1) year following the Termination Date, Employee will not, in the United States: 
  
 (i) Directly or indirectly, alone or with any individual,
partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity, become employed by or associated with, render services to, consult with, invest in, represent, advise, or otherwise participate in any Competitive Entity; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 14.2 will prevent Employee from owning less than 5 percent of any class of equity or debt securities listed on a national securities exchange or trading market, provided such involvement is solely as a passive
investor; 
  
 (ii) Solicit any business on behalf
of a Competitive Entity or herself from any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or other entity that is a customer or prospective customer of Company; or

 14.5 Remedies/Equitable Relief. Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information is special and unique to Company and that disclosure of any Confidential Information or the breach of any of the
terms and covenants of Section 13 and/or Section 14 of this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law in addition to potentially ascertainable damages. Employee agrees, in
the event she fails to abide by the terms of this Agreement, that Company shall be entitled to specific performance, including immediate issuance of a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary or permanent injunctive relief enforcing this
Agreement, and to any and all other remedies provided by applicable law or equity. 
  
 14.6 Severability; Reform of Covenant. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the covenants contained in Section 13 or Section 14 of this Agreement because it covers too extensive a
geographic area or is too long in its duration, the parties intend that it be reformed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. 
  

15. Miscellaneous. 
  
 15.1 Entire Agreement. This document is the entire, final and complete agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject

 EXHIBIT B 
  

CONSULTING AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT for independent contractor consulting services (“Consulting Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 9,
2005, by and between Alaska Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation, and George D. Bagley (the “Contractor”), an individual. 
  
 IT IS AGREED: 
  
 1. Independent Contractor Relationship. In accordance with the mutual intentions of the Company and the Contractor, this Consulting Agreement
establishes between them an independent contractor relationship, and all of the terms and conditions of this Consulting Agreement shall be interpreted in light of that relationship. There is no intention to create by this Consulting Agreement an
employer-employee relationship or for Contractor to participate in any benefits offered to active employees of the Company. 
  
 2. Term. The Contractor shall provide services through January 1, 2007; provided, however, that the Contractor shall not be obligated to perform
should Contractor become physically or mentally disabled from doing so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consulting Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 15 of this Consulting Agreement. 

 
 3. Amount of Service. It is understood by the parties that the
Company does not have the exclusive right to the Contractor’s services. It is understood and agreed, however, that the Company has the right (although it has no obligation) to use and the Contractor shall provide services for up to 30 days per
calendar year to be rendered at mutually agreeable times and places and so as not to interfere unreasonably with other consulting or employment of the Contractor. The Contractor warrants and represents that there is no conflict of interest in
the Contractor’s other contracts for services or other employment, if any, with the services to be provided pursuant to this Consulting Agreement and that the Contractor will ensure that no such conflict arises during the term of this
Consulting Agreement (which includes but is in no way limited to use of another’s confidential and proprietary information). 
  
 4. Conflict of Interest Prohibited. It is also understood that, during the term of this Consulting Agreement, the Contractor may not consult, work
or serve in any capacity for (1) another person or entity which intends to operate or does operate in any business in competition with the Company or (2) any past, current or future customer of the Company. The Contractor further acknowledges that
he will comply with the terms of Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the Retirement Agreement entered into between Consultant and the Company. 

 5. Type of Service. The Company will purchase from the Contractor, and the Contractor will sell to
the Company, any services reasonably requested by the Company, including services related to the transition of his former duties as an employee of the Company. William S. Ayer (or his or her successor) is the only person authorized to request the
Contractor’s services. 
  
 6. Payment. During the term
of this Consulting Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Contractor for his services (and will so pay even if it chooses not to exercise its right to use his services) a fee of $60,000 payable as follows: $15,000 on April 1, 2006; $15,000 on July
1, 2006; $15,000 on October 1, 2006; and $15,000 on January 1, 2007. This payment herein provided shall constitute full payment for the Contractor’s services to the Company during the term of this Consulting Agreement, and the Contractor shall
not receive any additional benefits or compensation for consulting services, except that the Company will reimburse the Contractor for reasonable and customary expenses incurred at the Company’s request in connection with such consulting. All
such costs and expenses shall be itemized by statement and each statement shall be accompanied by substantiating bills or vouchers. The Contractor must obtain prior authorization for any expenses which the Contractor reasonably expects to exceed
$2,000. Air travel will be first class when available. 
  
 7.
Contractor Responsible for its Agents and Employees. The Contractor shall select and shall have full and complete control of and responsibility for all agents, employees and subcontractors, if any, employed or used by the Contractor and for
the conduct of the Contractor’s independent business and none of said agents, employees or subcontractors shall be, or shall be deemed to be, the agent, employee or subcontractor of the Company for any purpose whatsoever, and the Company shall
have no duty, liability or responsibility, of any kind, to or for the acts or omissions of Contractor or such agents, employees or subcontractors, or any of them. Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and with
respect to any and all claims of any kind based on any act or omission of the Contractor or Contractor’s agents, employees or subcontractors. 
  
 8. Contractor Responsible for Taxes and Indemnification. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Contractor agrees to accept exclusive liability
for the payment of taxes or contributions for unemployment insurance or old age pensions or annuities or social security payments which are measured by the wages, salaries or other remuneration paid to the Contractor or the employees of the
Contractor, if any, and to reimburse and indemnify the Company for such taxes or contributions or penalties which the Company may be compelled to pay. The Contractor also agrees to comply with all valid administrative regulations respecting the
assumption of liability for such taxes and contributions. 
  

 2 

 9. Means and Methods. The Contractor agrees to furnish personal services as provided herein as an
independent contractor using the Contractor’s own means and methods.

drawing(s), photograph(s), design invention(s) and other invention(s) made, conceived or reduced to practice or authorized by the Contractor, either solely or jointly with others, during the performance of this Consulting Agreement or with use of
information, materials or facilities of the Company received or used by the Contractor during the period in which the Contractor is retained by the Company or its successor in business, under this Consulting Agreement. The Contractor shall promptly
disclose to the Company all work(s), writing(s), formula(s), design(s), other invention(s) made, conceived, or reduced to practice or authored by the Contractor in the course of the performance of this Consulting Agreement. 
  
 (a) The Contractor shall sign, execute and acknowledge or
cause to be signed, executed and acknowledged without cost, but at the expense of the Company, any and all documents and to perform such acts as may be necessary, useful or convenient for the purpose of securing to the Company or its nominees,
patent, trademark, or copyright protection throughout the world upon all such writing(s), formula(s), design(s), model(s), drawing(s), photograph(s), design invention(s) and other invention(s), title to which the Company may acquire in accordance
with the provisions of this clause.

Product Owned by Company. All information developed under this Consulting Agreement, of whatever type relating to the work performed under this Consulting Agreement, shall be the exclusive property of the Company. All machines, instruments and
products purchased, manufactured or assembled by the Contractor pursuant to this Consulting Agreement and paid for by the Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of this Consulting Agreement, the Contractor shall
dispose of such items as directed by the Company. 
  
 12.
Confidentiality. The Contractor agrees that all data and information about the Company’s business, plans, finances, plants, equipment, processes and methods of operation disclosed to, acquired by or developed by the Contractor during
performance of the work hereunder is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. Except for such information and data as can be proven by the Contractor to be in or to have entered the public domain through no fault of the Contractor or
to have been in the Contractor’s possession prior to disclosure to the Contractor by the Company and/or the performance of Contractor’s services hereunder, Contractor shall during the term of the Consulting Agreement and thereafter in
perpetuity maintain as confidential and not disclose to third parties or otherwise use, and will enjoin the Contractor’s employees, 

  

 3 

 
agents or subcontractors (as applicable) from using, such information except as duly authorized in the conduct of the Company’s business or as otherwise
authorized in advance in writing. The Contractor agrees that such data and information shall be used by the Contractor solely for the purpose of performing services for the Company and not for the benefit of any other person or entity whatsoever.

  
 13. Termination by Death. This Consulting Agreement
shall automatically terminate upon the Contractor’s death. In such event, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Contractor’s estate or beneficiaries only the accrued but unpaid fees and expenses due as of the date of death.

or transfer any rights under this Consulting Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent, and any attempt of assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void. 
  
 15. Washington Law Governs. This Consulting Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the
State of Washington, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Washington without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 
  
 16. Severability. If any provision of this Consulting Agreement or the
application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Consulting Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this
Consulting Agreement are declared to be severable. 
  
 17.
Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Consulting Agreement shall be construed to be, or shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Consulting Agreement. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and
signed by the party waiving the breach.
