 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 LETTER AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS LETTER AGREEMENT (the “Letter Agreement”) is entered into this 11th day of November, 2005, by Novoste Corporation, a Florida corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and Alfred J. Novak, a Florida
resident, (hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”). The Company and the Executive are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Parties.” 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into an Amended and Restated Termination Agreement dated May 30, 2003, as amended on May 18, 2005 (the
agreement, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to receive certain payments upon a termination of his employment without Cause or for Good Reason (each as
defined in the Termination Agreement) following a Change in Control (as defined in the Termination Agreement); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties have also entered into an employment agreement dated October 8, 2002 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

  
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have mutually
agreed to enter into this Letter Agreement, which shall supersede the Employment Agreement and the Termination Agreement in their entirety, except as hereinafter set forth. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Termination of Employment: The Executive shall continue to be employed by the Company through March 31, 2006, at which point his
employment, together with all accompanying benefits of employment, shall be deemed terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive agrees to extend his employment until April 30, 2006 at the request of the Company if the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the year ending December 31, 2005 has not been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by March 31, 2006, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the quarter
ending March 31, 2006 is required to be filed with the SEC or the Company otherwise determines that there are matters requiring the attention of the Executive. The date on which the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates in
accordance with this Section 1 is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.” The Executive shall be entitled to his base salary at the rate in effect as of the date of this Letter Agreement through the Termination Date. The
Executive shall perform 

 no further services for, and shall have no authority to act on behalf of, the Company after the Termination Date. In his
capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Executive will report directly to the Company’s Board of Directors and perform such duties and responsibilities as are from time to time directed by the Board of Directors consistent with
the Executive’s position as Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s needs. Such duties and responsibilities may be performed at locations other than the Company’s offices in Norcross, Georgia as reasonably determined by the Company
and the Executive. Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall preclude the Executive from interviewing for employment, as long as such activity does not substantially interfere with his performance of duties as Chief Executive Officer. In addition,
nothing in this Letter Agreement shall preclude the Executive from continuing the affiliations and associations set forth in Paragraph 5 of the Conflict of Interest Agreement (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and any similar professional
affiliations, or any civic, charitable or other non-professional activities that do not significantly interfere with his performance of services to the Company. 
  

2. Certain Payments: Subject to the Executive’s acceptance and compliance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Letter
Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive the following payments: 
  
 (i) a first payment (the “First Payment) in the amount of $579,200, payable in a lump sum by the Company upon the Executive’s execution of this Letter Agreement, less applicable deductions, including,
without limitation, federal and state withholding; 
  
 (ii) a
second payment (the “Second Payment”) in the amount of $142,300, less applicable deductions, including, without limitation, federal and state withholding, to be paid on January 2, 2006. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
composition of the Company’s Board of Directors changes such that the number of directors on the Board of Directors who are directors of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Letter Agreement is less than the number of directors on the
Board of Directors who are not directors of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Letter Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to immediate payment of the Second Payment (to the extent such payment has not previously been made);

  
 (iii) a third payment (the “Third Payment”) in the
amount of $27,375 to be paid on January 31, 2006, a fourth payment (the “Fourth Payment”) in the amount of $27,375 to be paid on February 28, 2006 and a fifth payment (the “Fifth Payment”, and together with the Third
Payment and the Fourth Payment, the “2006 Payments”) in the amount of $27,375 to be paid on March 31, 2006, in each case less applicable deductions, including without 
  

 2 

 limitation, federal and state withholding; provided, that, the Executive shall not receive the 2006
Payments (to the extent any of the 2006 Payments have not previously been made) if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined in Section 2(v)) prior to March 31, 2006. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors changes such that the number of directors on the Board of Directors who are directors of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Letter Agreement is less than the
number of directors on the Board of Directors who are not directors of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Letter Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to immediate payment of the 2006 Payments (to the extent any of such payments have
not previously been made); provided, that, if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined in Section 2(v)) prior to March 31, 2006, the Executive shall repay to the Company a
pro-rata portion of the 2006 Payments based on the number of days between the date the Executive terminates employment and March 31, 2006 and the total number of days between December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006; and 
  
 (iv) a sixth payment (the “Sixth Payment”) in the amount of
$18,250, less applicable deductions, including without limitation, federal and state withholding, to be paid on April 30, 2006; provided, that, the Executive shall not receive the Sixth Payment if the Company does not elect to extend the
Executive’s employment beyond March 31, 2006 or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined in Section 2(v)) prior to April 30, 2006. 
  
 (v) For the purpose of Sections 2(iii) and 2(iv), “Good Reason”
means any one or more of the following events: (a) a material breach of or default under this Letter Agreement by the Company which is not cured by the Company within five business days after the Company’s receipt of prior written notice
thereof from the Executive or (b) a material reduction in the Executive’s duties or a material interference with the exercise of the Executive’s authority by the Company’s Board of Directors (not arising from any disabling
physical or mental disability the Executive may sustain) which would be inconsistent with the Executive’s position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the same shall not have been remedied by the Company’s Board of Directors
within five business days after the Board of Director’s receipt of prior written notice thereof from the Executive.

 3. Benefits: In addition to the foregoing payments to be made by the Company to the Executive, the
Executive shall be entitled to the following:

lump sum payment of $30,522, less applicable deductions, including, without limitation, federal and state withholding, for health insurance benefits, to be paid on December 31, 2005. 
  
 (ii) the amounts representing the value of the Executive’s vested
benefits under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, which shall be paid out in accordance with such Plan and the direction of the Executive.

policies, payable by the Company as soon as practicable after the Executive’s Termination Date, less applicable deductions, including, without limitation, federal and state withholding. 
  
 (v) an amount equal to a maximum $10,000, to be paid to the Executive as a
reimbursement for reasonable legal fees incurred by the Executive in connection with the review of this Letter Agreement by his counsel; provided, that, the Executive submits appropriate documentation of such legal fees. 
  
 4. Certain Proceedings: (i) The Executive agrees to cooperate
with the Company as a party or witness as reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel in connection with any pending or future litigation, arbitration, adversary proceeding or claim pertaining to events that occurred on or before the
Termination Date in which the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers or employees, are involved or interested, including but not limited to giving interviews, reviewing documents, providing deposition or trial testimony and other related
activities; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to engage in efforts that would interfere with his personal or business affairs. The Company will reimburse the Executive for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive in
providing such cooperation. 
  
 (ii) In the event that this Letter
Agreement shall become the subject of any litigation, arbitration, adversary proceeding or perfected legal claim that is not initiated by the Executive, Section 6 of this Letter Agreement shall be null and void with regard to the
Executive’s release of claims under his Termination Agreement and Employment Agreement, and the Executive shall receive under the Termination Agreement or Employment Agreement, as applicable, such payments 
  

 4 

 as he is entitled to receive thereunder; provided, that, (a) the First Payment, Second Payment, Third Payment,
Fourth Payment, Fifth Payment and Sixth Payment shall each reduce any payments otherwise due to the Executive under the Termination Agreement or Employment Agreement, as applicable, and (b) in no event shall the Executive be entitled to
severance payments under both the Employment Agreement and the Termination Agreement. 
  
 5. Resignations from Boards of Directors and Officerships: The Executive agrees, effective with the Termination Date, that he will resign from all of his positions as an officer of the Company and from all of
his positions as a member of the board of directors and as an officer of any of the Company’s subsidiaries and/or affiliates and that the Executive shall execute all documentation reasonably requested by the Company to evidence such
resignations; it being understood that the Executive shall not be required to resign his position as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 6. Release by the Executive: Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4(ii) of this Letter Agreement, the Executive hereby
releases and forever discharges the Company from any and all causes of action, claims or demands, known or unknown, relating to any obligation or liability of the Company to the Executive under the Employment Agreement (other than the
Executive’s travel and housing benefit in Section 4(e) of the Employment Agreement) or the Termination Agreement. 
  
 7. Complete Consideration: The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the above-described consideration is the total consideration which
