Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Consulting Agreement with Mr. Roberts. In connection with the completion of Leonard H. Roberts’ term as Executive Chairman of the Board of RadioShack Corporation (“RadioShack”), RadioShack and Mr. Roberts entered into a Consulting Agreement on May 18, 2006. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Roberts will provide certain consulting services to RadioShack. In return, RadioShack will pay Mr. Roberts a monthly fee of $41,667, as well as providing Roberts with an administrative assistant and office space (with RadioShack obligated to not pay more than a total of $100,000 a year towards the cost of the rent and parking for the office space and the cost of Mr. Roberts’ administrative assistant’s base annual salary). The payment of certain amounts under the Consulting Agreement and the Transition Agreement (as defined below), however, may be delayed to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In addition, if Mr. Roberts elects to continue his group health benefits in accordance with COBRA, RadioShack will pay the portion of Mr. Roberts’ premiums relating to this coverage that RadioShack would have otherwise paid if Mr. Roberts was an active senior executive officer through the term of the Consulting Agreement. RadioShack will also reimburse Mr. Roberts for reasonable expenses incurred by him in performing his services under the Agreement. The term of the Consulting Agreement is through December 18, 2008. A copy of the Consulting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1.

As described in RadioShack’s Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2005, RadioShack and Mr. Roberts had previously entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) on January 12, 2005. The Transition Agreement contemplated that the parties would enter into the Consulting Agreement upon the termination of the Transition Agreement. Mr. Roberts’ services under the Transition Agreement terminated upon the effectiveness of the Consulting Agreement.

Termination Protection Plan (Level I). On May 18, 2006, the Board of Directors approved amendments to RadioShack’s Termination Protection Plan (Level I) (the “Level I Plan”). The Level I Plan applies to RadioShack’s officers (other than officers that are parties to a Termination Protection Agreement with RadioShack). The Board of Directors determined to amend the Level I Plan, which was originally adopted effective August 22, 1990, in connection with a review and update of RadioShack’s benefit plans. A copy of the Amended and Restated Level I Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.2.

The amendments to the Level I Plan include the following modifications, as well as other, non-substantive changes:

Rather than requiring RadioShack to provide certain employee benefits for one year, the Level I Plan, as
amended, will require RadioShack to pay a comparable benefit amount equal to a specified percentage of a
participant's base salary.
   
The Level I Plan, as amended, establishes a clearer framework for a resignation for “good reason”.
   
The Level I Plan, as amended, preserves an officer's right to indemnification from RadioShack as
provided under applicable law and in RadioShack's Bylaws.
   
The Level I Plan, as amended, provides that, in order to receive benefits, a participant must (i) sign a
release of all claims, (ii) agree not to disparage RadioShack, (iii) sign a confidentiality agreement,
and (iv) not solicit employees of RadioShack for other employment.
   
The Level I Plan, as amended, also provides for recent changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

Officers’ Severance Program. Also in connection with the review and update of RadioShack’s benefit plans, on May 18, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the adoption of an Officers’ Severance Program (the “Program”), a uniform severance program to apply to officers in the event of non-cause terminations. A copy of the Program is attached as Exhibit 10.3.


Under the Program, the benefits payable are base salary plus any bonus earned and unpaid prior to separation. Any payments made under the Program will be based on the officer’s level of responsibility, as well as his or her tenure with RadioShack, as follows:

          Officer Position                     Severance Payment
     
CEO/Executive Vice Presidents 18 months plus one month per year of service,
up to a maximum of two years.
     
Senior Vice Presidents 12 months plus two weeks per year of service,
up to a maximum of 18 months.
     
Vice Presidents and Assistant
Secretary/Treasurer
6 months plus two weeks per year of service,
up to a maximum of 12 months.

If benefits are payable under the Program, no benefits would be payable under the Level I Plan described above.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Termination Protection Plan (Level II). On May 18, 2006, RadioShack’s Board of Directors approved the termination of the Termination Protection Plan (Level II) (the “Level II Plan”). The Board of Directors determined to terminate the Level II Plan, which was adopted effective August 22, 1990, in connection with a review and update of RadioShack’s benefit plans.

The Level II Plan provided for defined termination benefits to be paid to certain of RadioShack’s eligible, non-officer employees who have been terminated, without cause, in connection with a change in control of RadioShack. In addition, for a certain period of time following a participating employee’s termination under the Level II Plan, RadioShack, at its expense, was required to continue to provide certain employment benefits on behalf of the terminated employee.

In lieu of the Level II Plan, the Board of Directors approved a Severance Program for eligible, non–officer employees of RadioShack who are terminated for a reason other than for cause. This Severance Program provides severance pay and other benefits, as determined by RadioShack, to support eligible employees who suffer a job loss under circumstances described in the program and who have not been offered comparable employment by RadioShack. Generally, any payments made under the program will be based on the eligible employee's compensation level, as well as his or her tenure with RadioShack, as follows:

     Compensation Level       Severance Payment
     
Hourly employees 1 week per year of service, up
to a maximum of 16 weeks
     
Salaried employees, with base
salary less than $50,000
1.5 weeks per year of service, up
to a maximum of 21 weeks
     
Salaried employees, with base
salary less than $90,000
2 weeks per year of service, up
to a maximum of 26 weeks
     
Salaried employees, with base
salary of at least $90,000
3 weeks per year of service, up
to a maximum of 36 weeks

Exhibit 10.1

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

        This Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on May 18, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), between RadioShack Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“RadioShack”), and Leonard H. Roberts (the “Roberts”), an individual residing in the State of Texas.

RECITAL

        RadioShack desires to retain Roberts to render certain specific consulting services to RadioShack on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Roberts desires to be retained by RadioShack on such terms and conditions.

AGREEMENT

        1.        Engagement and Duties.  During the Term (defined below), Roberts shall provide to RadioShack the following consulting services: (i) represent RadioShack with key industry, civic and philanthropic constituents, (ii) assist RadioShack’s Chief Executive Officer in maintaining and developing business relationships with key strategic partners, (iii) at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer, help in the vetting process for new technology and new strategic partners, (iv) regularly meet with the Chief Executive Officer to review progress toward the refinement and execution of RadioShack’s strategy, and (v) at the request of the Chief Executive Officer, represent RadioShack’s Board of Directors at key company events and (vi) at the request of the Chief Executive Officer, assist the Chief Executive Officer in the recognition and motivation of employees in pursuing RadioShack’s strategy. Roberts shall report to RadioShack’s Chief Executive Officer.

        2.        Manner of Performance.  Roberts shall perform all services and duties that reasonably may be required of him pursuant to the terms hereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of RadioShack acting in its sole discretion. Roberts shall not take any action that would be adverse to RadioShack’s business interests or that may subject Roberts, RadioShack or any of its affiliates to civil or criminal liability. Roberts agrees to comply in full with all applicable laws, ethical standards, rules and regulations. Roberts agrees that he will comply with RadioShack’s conflict of interest policies and represents that, on the date of this Agreement, he does not have any interest in any entity that would conflict in any manner with the performance of services under this Agreement. Subject to the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, including the non-disclosure and non-compete covenants, Roberts may engage in activities on his own behalf or on behalf of entities other than RadioShack and its affiliates, and may allocate his time between his obligations under this Agreement and such other activities in any manner Roberts deems appropriate, so long as Roberts’ obligations under this Agreement are satisfied. Roberts will have the sole right to supervise, manage, control and direct the performance of the details incident to Roberts’ duties described in this Agreement.

        3.        Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end on December 18, 2008, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement (the “Term”).

        4.        Compensation.  As compensation for Roberts’ performance of his services under this Agreement, RadioShack shall pay Roberts $41,667 per month (the “Monthly Fee”) during the Term, payable in arrears on the last day of the month. RadioShack shall pay a prorated portion of the Monthly Fee upon termination of this Agreement if such termination occurs other than at the end of a month. RadioShack shall deliver each payment to Roberts within seven calendar days after the end of each month.

        5.        Benefits.   During the Term, RadioShack shall provide Roberts with an administrative assistant and office space for him and his administrative assistant, selected by him but at a location other than RadioShack’s corporate headquarters. RadioShack shall not pay more than a total of $100,000 a year towards the cost of the rent and parking for the office space and the cost of Roberts’ administrative assistant’s base annual salary. If Roberts elects to continue his group health benefits in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, RadioShack shall pay the portion of any premiums relating to such continuation coverage that RadioShack would otherwise have paid if Roberts was an active senior executive officer through the end of the Term.

        6.        Expenses.  RadioShack shall reimburse Roberts for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the performance of his services under this Agreement within 30 days following his delivery of an accounting of those expenses to RadioShack in accordance with RadioShack’s then-current travel and business expense policy.

        7.        Independent Contractor Status.  RadioShack is retaining Roberts in the capacity of an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of RadioShack or any of its affiliates. Roberts shall not be authorized at any time to execute any transaction on behalf of RadioShack or any of its affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall create, or shall be construed as creating, any form of partnership, joint venture, employer-employee relationship, or other affiliation that would permit Roberts to bind RadioShack or any of its affiliates with respect to any matter or would cause RadioShack or any of its affiliates to be liable for any action of Roberts. Neither RadioShack nor Roberts will represent to any third party that Roberts’ engagement by RadioShack hereunder is in any capacity other than as an independent contractor. Except as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, RadioShack shall not be obligated to maintain any insurance for Roberts, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, life or disability insurance. Except as required by law, Roberts will not be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan or program of RadioShack. To the extent Roberts employs others in providing services under this Agreement, Roberts agrees to comply with all applicable workers’ compensation laws and to provide satisfactory evidence of such compliance to RadioShack on request.

        8.        Taxes and Withholding.   Roberts hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as an independent contractor, he is legally required to determine and pay his own estimated federal income taxes, FICA (including FICA-matching), and all applicable federal and state payroll, excise, workman’s compensation, and other withholdings.

        9.        Termination.  Roberts’ services hereunder will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

       (a)        Roberts dies;

       (b)        RadioShack, by written notice to Roberts, terminates this Agreement due to Roberts’ Disability (as defined below);

        As used in this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean that for a period of at least 60 days during any six consecutive month period on account of a mental or physical condition, Roberts is unable to perform the essential functions of his services under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation. The determination of Roberts’ Disability shall be made (i) by a medical physician selected or agreed to by RadioShack or (ii) upon mutual agreement of RadioShack and Roberts or his personal representative. All costs relating to the determination of whether Roberts has incurred a Disability shall be paid by RadioShack. Roberts shall submit to any examination that is reasonably required by an examining physician for purposes of determining whether a Disability exists.

       (c)        RadioShack terminates this Agreement for Cause (as defined below):

        As used in this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean:

          (i)        Roberts’ conviction of (or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to) (A) any felony or (B) any misdemeanor involving fraud or dishonesty in connection with the performance of his services under this Agreement or moral turpitude or Roberts’ entry into a consent decree (or similar arrangement) with any governmental agency or office; or


          (ii)        the willful and continued failure of Roberts for a total of 10 days (which need not be consecutive days) during the Term to substantially perform his services under this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from illness or Disability) after a written demand for substantial performance from RadioShack is delivered to Roberts, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which it is claimed Roberts has not substantially performed his services; or


          (iii)        Roberts has willfully engaged in misconduct which has, or can reasonably be expected to have, a direct and material adverse monetary effect on RadioShack.


        For purposes of this Section, no act or failure to act on Roberts’ part shall be considered “willful” unless Roberts acted in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that Roberts’ action or omission was in the best interest of RadioShack.

        (d)        RadioShack terminates this Agreement for any reason other than for Cause or Disability, which RadioShack may do at any time;

        (e)        Roberts voluntarily terminates his services due to a material default by RadioShack in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, which default remains unremedied by RadioShack for a period of 10 days following its receipt of written notice thereof from Roberts (“Good Reason”); or

        (f)        Roberts voluntarily terminates his services for any reason other than Good Reason, which Roberts may do at any time with at least 30 days’ advance notice.

        10.        Effects of Termination.

        (a)        Upon termination of Roberts’ services hereunder for any reason, RadioShack shall promptly pay Roberts that portion of the Monthly Fee earned by him under Section 4 of this Agreement during the then-current month and unpaid through the effective date of termination.

        (b)        In addition, if Roberts’ services are terminated under Section 9(a), 9(b), 9(d) or 9(e) of this Agreement, then RadioShack shall also make the payments to Roberts described in Section 4 of this Agreement and provide the benefits described in Section 5 of this Agreement until December 18, 2008, as and when they would have been paid had his services not been terminated. However, if any payment or benefit described in the previous sentence is considered compensation deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (and all regulations and other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder), such payment or benefit shall be delayed until the earliest date on which it may be paid without the imposition of any interest and additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B).

        11.        Non-disclosure of Confidential Information.  Roberts will not make any unauthorized use, publication or disclosure, during and after the Term, of any information generated or acquired by him during the performance of his services under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, information of a confidential or trade secret nature (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes information not generally known by or available to the public about or belonging to RadioShack or belonging to other persons to whom RadioShack may have an obligation to maintain information in confidence. Authorization for disclosure of Confidential Information may be obtained only through RadioShack’s General Counsel or designee. Roberts will not disclose to RadioShack, or induce RadioShack to use, any confidential or trade secret information or material belonging to others.

        12.        Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights.

        (a)        Except as otherwise provided in Section 12(f) of this Agreement, Roberts hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to RadioShack his entire right, title and interest in the United States and all foreign countries in any and all Intellectual Property (as defined below) which he has made or conceived or may make or conceive, related to the business of RadioShack or its affiliates or within the scope of his services under this Agreement, whether as a sole inventor or originator or as a joint inventor or originator with another or others, during the Term. Roberts acknowledges that any copyrights included in Intellectual Property made by him within the scope of his services under this Agreement belong to RadioShack by operation of law. “Intellectual Property” is information of a technical or a business nature, such as ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, trade secrets, know-how, machines, manufacturing processes, product designs, formulae, theses, books, computer programs, drawings, lectures, illustrations, photographs, writings and other works of authorship, customer lists, sales, profits, financial figures, marketing plans, business methods and the like.

        (b)        There are no ideas, designs, inventions, improvements, discoveries and developments (“Inventions”), patented or not, which Roberts made before the execution of this Agreement and that are excluded from the operation of this Agreement.

        (c)        During and after the Term, at the request and expense of RadioShack or its nominees, and for no remuneration except that due Roberts pursuant to this Agreement, but at no expense to Roberts, Roberts shall execute, acknowledge, make and deliver to RadioShack, its nominees, agents or attorneys any and all documents which in the judgment of RadioShack, its nominees, agents or attorneys may be necessary or desirable to invest in or secure or maintain for the benefit of RadioShack adequate patent and other property rights in the United States and all foreign countries with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by or assigned to RadioShack under this Agreement, including (1) United States and foreign patent and copyright applications; (2) applications for securing, protecting or registering any property rights owned by or assigned to RadioShack under this Agreement and (3) other documents needed to obtain, secure, protect and register any property rights owned by or assigned to RadioShack under this Agreement. Roberts shall assist RadioShack, its nominees, agents or attorneys by furnishing evidence in his possession or under his control for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing such rights.

        (d)        Roberts shall disclose promptly to RadioShack, its nominees, agents or attorneys any and all Intellectual Property (1) owned by or assigned to RadioShack under the provisions of Section 12(a) of this Agreement or (2) in which any time, equipment, supply, facility or information of RadioShack was used, when made or conceived, in whole or in part, by Roberts. Roberts shall make and maintain adequate and current records thereof.

        (e)        Except as otherwise provided in Section 12(f) of this Agreement, any and all Inventions made or conceived by Roberts within one year after the Term shall be owned by or assigned to RadioShack under the provisions of Section 12(a) of this Agreement, unless proven by Roberts to have been made or conceived after the Term.

        (f)        The provisions of this Section 12 reserve to Roberts rights in certain Intellectual Property. No provision of Section 12 is intended to require assignment of any rights in any Intellectual Property (1) made or conceived outside the scope of Roberts’ services under the Agreement, and (2) developed entirely on Roberts own time, and (3) for which no equipment, supplies, facility or information of RadioShack was used, and (4) not resulting from any services performed for RadioShack. Roberts may have other rights under state laws which vary from state to state.

        13.        Non-competition.  Roberts shall comply with Section 5.5(a) of the RadioShack Corporation Officers Deferred Compensation Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, which section is incorporated by reference into this Section 13; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement the period of his compliance with Section 5.5(a) shall be during the Term instead of during the period set forth in Section 5.5(a)

        14.        Return of Property.  Before the end of the Term, Roberts shall return all equipment and property in his possession that belongs to RadioShack, including all files and programs stored electronically or otherwise that relate or refer to RadioShack, and all original and copies of documents, notes, memoranda or any other written materials that relate or refer to RadioShack, including material that constitutes Confidential Information, other than information or documents relating to Roberts’ RadioShack compensation or benefit plans or programs in which he participates or participated.

        15.        RadioShack’s Default in Payment.  Should RadioShack default in timely payment on the due date of any payment or amount due under this Agreement, Roberts shall give written notice of such default to the person specified in or pursuant to this Agreement to receive notice on behalf of RadioShack. RadioShack shall have ten calendar days after the receipt of such a notice of default to cure any payment default.

        16.        Breach of this Agreement.  If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that either party has breached or failed to perform any part of this Agreement, the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement and that the breaching party shall be responsible for paying the non-breaching party’s costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

        17.        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.

        18.        Ambiguities in this Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been drafted, prepared, negotiated and agreed to jointly, with advice of each party’s respective counsel, and to the extent that any ambiguity should appear, now or at any time in the future, latent or apparent, such ambiguity shall not be resolved or construed against either party.

        19.        Confidentiality.  Except as required by law or the New York Stock Exchange, each of the parties agrees to keep confidential the specific terms of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person except Roberts’ wife and the financial, tax and legal advisors of Roberts and RadioShack (and the Board of Directors of RadioShack). This Agreement may be disclosed in, or filed as an exhibit to, any filing required under any securities laws or the New York Stock Exchange listing standards to be made by RadioShack.

RADIOSHACK CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED TERMINATION PROTECTION PLAN

“LEVEL I”

        WHEREAS, the “Board” of the “Company” (as those terms are hereinafter defined) recognizes that the possibility of a future “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) exists and that the threat or occurrence of a Change in Control could result in significant distractions to its employees because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and

        WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of the Company, its stockholders and the Employer to retain the services of certain of its employees in the event of a threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company and to ensure their continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for their employment and personal financial security.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in order to fulfill these purposes, the following is hereby adopted.

                     (a)        An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a Non-Control Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control.

        A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a “Subsidiary”), (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined);

                      (b)        The individuals who, as of the Effective Date, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

                     (c)        The consummation of:

                         (1)        A merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued, unless


                       (i)        the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination, own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination, at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, reorganization or other business combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination,


                        (ii)        the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation, or


                       (iii)        no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination was maintained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination had Beneficial Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities, and


                        (iv)        A transaction described in clauses (i) through (iii) shall herein be referred to as a “Non-Control Transaction.”

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Voting Securities (X) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this subsection (X)) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur, or (Y) and such Subject Person (1) within fourteen (14) Business Days (or such greater period of time as may be determined by action of the Board) after such Subject Person would otherwise have caused a Change in Control (but for the operation of this clause (Y)), such Subject Person notifies the Board that such Subject Person did so inadvertently, and (2) within seven (7) Business Days after such notification (or such greater period of time as may be determined by action of the Board), such Subject Person divests itself of a sufficient number of Voting Securities so that such Subject Person is no longer the Beneficial Owner of more than the permitted amount of the outstanding Voting Securities.

                     (d)        Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated during the Term but within one (1) year prior to a Change in Control and the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination (i) was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control and who effectuates a Change in Control (a “Third Party”) or (ii) otherwise occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which actually occurs, then for all purposes of the Plan, the date of a Change in Control with respect to the Participant shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of the Participant’s employment.

         4.2       Position and Duties.

                      (a)        During the Employment Period, (A) the Participant’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be commensurate in all material respects with those held, exercised and assigned immediately preceding the Change in Control Date (or, if changed at the request of the third party initiating the Change in Control, then the position, authority, duties and responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such change) and (B) the Participant’s services shall be performed at the location where the Participant was employed preceding the Change in Control Date or any office or location within a twenty mile radius of such location, except for reasonably required travel on the Employer’s business which is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Change in Control.

                      (b)        During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Participant is entitled, the Participant shall devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Employer and to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Participant. During the Employment Period, Participant may (A) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees of not-for-profit or similar organizations, (B) teach, and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities as an employee of the Employer. To the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Participant prior to the Change in Control Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Change in Control Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities to the Employer.

         4.3       Compensation.

                      (a)        Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Participant shall receive an annual base salary (“Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Participant by the Employer and its affiliated companies in respect of the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Change in Control Date.

As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Employer.

                      (b)        Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Participant shall be entitled to participate, with respect to each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, in the Employer’s annual bonus plan, under terms (including measures of performance, targets and payout potential) at least as favorable as the terms under such bonus plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control Date (or, if changed at the request of the third party initiating the Change in Control, then the annual bonus plan in effect immediately prior to such change) (the “Annual Bonus”).

In addition, during the Employment Period, the Participant shall receive restricted stock grants pursuant to the Company’s 1997 Incentive Stock Plan or any successor plan for each fiscal year during the Employment Period equal to the highest number and value to those granted to Participant for the year in which the Change in Control occurs (the “RSO Valuation”), or (B) if such Plan or Plans do not exist, then an amount in cash equal to the RSO Valuation amount, which amount shall be subject to any vesting schedule and other terms and conditions applicable to such grants in the year in which the Change in Control occurred.

During the Employment Period, the Participant shall be entitled to fringe benefits, or cash payments in lieu of such fringe benefits, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Employer and its affiliated companies in effect for the Participant on the Change in Control Date (or, if changed at the request of the third party initiating the Change in Control, then such plans, practices, programs and policies as in effect immediately prior to such change) or, if more favorable to the Participant, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Employer and its affiliated companies.

                      (h)        Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, the Participant shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing provided to the Participant by the Employer and its affiliated companies on the Change in Control Date (or, if changed at the request of the third party initiating the Change in Control, then such office(s), furnishing, other appointments and assistance as in effect immediately prior to such change) or, if more favorable to the Participant, as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Employer and its affiliated companies.

In the event that a Participant’s employment with his or her Employer is terminated following a Change in Control during the Term (a) by reason of the Participant’s death, (b) by his or her Employer for Cause or Disability, or (c) by the Participant without Good Reason, the Participant shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall pay, his or her Accrued Compensation and, if such termination is other than by his or her Employer for Cause, a Pro Rata Bonus.

        5.2        Payment in Event of Certain Terminations of Employment. In the event that a Participant’s employment with his or her Employer is terminated following a Change in Control during the Term by the Participant or by his or her Employer for any reason other than as specified in Section 5.1, the Participant shall be entitled to receive under the Plan, a cash payment equal to the sum of:

                       (b)        his or her Base Amount,

                       (c)        his or her Bonus Amount, and

                      (a)        compliance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof;

                      (c)        delivery to the Company of a resignation from all offices, directorships and fiduciary positions with the Company, its affiliates and employee benefit plans.

        Notwithstanding the due date of any post-employment payments, any amounts due following a termination under this Agreement (other than Accrued Compensation) shall not be due until after the expiration of any revocation period applicable to the General Release without the Participant having revoked such General Release, and any such amounts shall be paid to the Participant within thirty (30) days of the expiration of such revocation period without the occurrence of a revocation by the Participant (or such later date as may be required under Section 409A of the Code). Nevertheless (and regardless of whether the General Release has been executed by the Participant), upon any termination of Participant’s employment, Participant shall be entitled to receive any Accrued Compensation, payable within thirty (30) days after the date of termination or in accordance with the applicable plan, program or policy. In the event that the Participant dies before all payments pursuant to this Article V have been paid, all remaining payments shall be made to the beneficiary specifically designated by the Participant in writing prior to his death, or, if no such beneficiary was designated (or the Employer is unable in good faith to determine the beneficiary designated), to his or her personal representative or estate.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

        6.1        Notice of Termination Required. Following a Change in Control, any purported termination of the Participant’s employment by the Employer shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the Participant. For purposes of the Plan, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.

ARTICLE VII

LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY

      7.1        Excise Tax Limitation.

                  (a)        Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Participant under any other Employer plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Payments would result in the Participant retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if the Participant received all of the Payments (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”). Unless the Participant shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the Limited Payment Amount, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments, by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the “Determination” (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Participant pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Participant’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

                  (b)        An initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to the Plan and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made by an accounting firm at the Company’s expense selected by the Company which is designated as one of the five (5) largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the Participant within five (5) days of the Termination Date if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Participant (provided the Participant reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Participant with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the Participant with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Participant that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Participant, the Participant shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant subject to the application of Paragraph 7.1(c) below.

                  (c)        As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Participant either have been made or will not be made by the Company which, in either case, will be inconsistent with the limitations provided in Section 7.1(a) (hereinafter referred to as an “Excess Payment” or “Underpayment”, respectively). If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that an Excess Payment has been made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to the Participant made on the date the Participant received the Excess Payment and the Participant shall repay the Excess Payment to the Company on demand (but not less than ten (10) days after written notice is received by the Participant) together with interest on the Excess Payment at the “Applicable Federal Rate” (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the Participant’s receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment. In the event that it is determined by (i) the Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS, (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, or (iii) upon the resolution to the Participant’s satisfaction of the Dispute, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to the Participant within ten (10) days of such determination or resolution together with interest on such amount at the Applicable Federal Rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Participant until the date of payment.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant’s employment with his or her Employer is terminated in connection with the sale, divestiture or other disposition of any Subsidiary or division of the Company (or part thereof) such termination shall not be a termination of employment of the Participant for purposes of the Plan and the Participant shall not be entitled to benefits from the Company under the Plan as a result of such sale, divestiture, or other disposition, or as a result of any subsequent termination of employment, provided that (a) the Participant is offered employment by the purchaser or acquiror of such Subsidiary or division (or part thereof) and (b) the Company obtains an agreement from such purchaser or acquiror to perform the Company’s and/or Employer’s obligations under the Plan, in the same manner, and to the same extent that the Company and/or the Employer would be required to perform if no such purchase or acquisition had taken place.

         11.        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

                    (a)        Amendment of Program. The Program may be amended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that any amendment of the Program during the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following the Effective Date which is less favorable to a Participant shall not be effective as to such Participant unless the Participant shall have consented thereto in writing.

                    (b)        Termination of Program. The Program may be terminated or suspended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that any termination or suspension to be effective during the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following the Effective Date shall not be effective with respect to any Participant unless such Participant shall have consented thereto in writing.

                    (c)        No Adverse Affect. If the Program is amended, terminated, or suspended in accordance with Section 11(a) or 11(b) above, such action shall not adversely affect the benefits under the Program to which any Terminated Participant (as of the date of amendment, termination or suspension) is entitled.

                    (d)        Code Section 409A. It is intended that this Program and the Committee’s exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject a Participant to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A after the Effective Date would result in a Participant being subject to payment of interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the Board may amend this Program, including with respect to the timing of payment of benefits, in order to avoid the application of Code Section 409A.

        12.        MISCELLANEOUS.

                    (a)        Offset. Severance Benefits shall be reduced by any severance or similar payment or benefit made or provided by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Participant pursuant to (i) any severance plan, program, policy or similar arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including without limitation the CIC Agreement), (ii) any employment agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Participant, and (iii) any federal, state or local statute, rule, regulation or ordinance. For avoidance of doubt, (A) any payment or benefit which is a Vested Benefit shall not be considered a severance or similar payment or benefit under this Section 12(a), and (B) the Program is not intended to, and shall not, result in any duplication of payments or benefits to any Participant.

                    (b)        No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any assets of the Company or any investments that the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Program. Nothing contained in the Program, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Subject to this Section 12(b), all payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts.

                    (c)        No Right to Continued Employment. The Participant’s rights, if any, to continue to serve the Company as an employee shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his/her designation as a Participant under the Program, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary reserves the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time. The adoption of the Program shall not be deemed to give any employee, or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

                    (d)        Other Rights. The Program shall not affect or impair the rights or obligations of the Company or a Participant under any other written plan, contract, arrangement, or pension, profit sharing or other compensation plan.

                    (e)        Governing Law. The Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law (including, without limitation, ERISA).

                    (f)        Severability. If any term or condition of the Program shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the remainder of the Program, with the exception of such invalid or unenforceable provision (but only to the extent that such term or condition cannot be appropriately reformed or modified), shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in effect and application to its fullest extent.

                    (g)        Incapacity. If the Committee determines that a Participant or a Beneficiary is unable to care for his/her affairs because of illness or accident or because he or she is a minor, any benefit due the Participant or Beneficiary may be paid to the Participant’s spouse or to any other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such Participant (including a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative), and any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the Company’s obligation hereunder.

                    (h)        Transferability of Rights. The Company shall have the unrestricted right to transfer its obligations under the Program with respect to one or more Participants to any person, including, but not limited to, any purchaser of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to commute, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or expectancy which the Participant or Beneficiary may have at any time to receive payments of benefits hereunder, which benefits and the right thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and nontransferable, except to the extent required by law. Any attempt to transfer or assign a benefit, or any rights granted hereunder, by a Participant or the spouse of a Participant shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee (after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent), be grounds for terminating any rights of the Participant or Beneficiary to any portion of the Program benefits not previously paid.

                    (i)        Interest. In the event any payment to a Participant under the Program is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is due and Participant notifies the Company and the Company fails to make such payment (to the extent such payment is undisputed), such payment shall thereafter bear interest at the prime rate from time to time as published in The Wall Street Journal, Midwest Edition.

                    (j)        No Obligation to Mitigate Damages. The Participants shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of amounts payable or arrangements made under the provisions of the Program and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations under the Program.

                    (k)        Forum. Any suit brought under the Program shall be brought in the federal court for Tarrant County, Texas.

        1.        Covenants Not to Solicit or Interfere.

                    a.        During the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of time equal to the Severance Period (determined in accordance with the Applicable Benefits Schedule for Employee (both as defined in Company’s Officers’ Severance Program (the “Program”))) if and only if Employee is receiving severance payments and benefits under the Program, Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly, within the United States of America or in any country of the world that the Company sells, imports, exports, assembles, packages or furnishes its products, articles, parts, supplies, accessories or services or is causing them to be sold, imported, exported, assembled, packaged or furnished through related entities, representatives, agents, or otherwise:

For purposes of this Agreement, existing customers shall mean those persons or firms that the Company has made a sale to in the twelve (12) months preceding Employee’s separation from employment; and prospective customers shall mean those persons or firms that the Company has solicited and/or negotiated to sell the Company’s products, articles, parts, supplies, accessories or services to within the twelve (12) months preceding Employee’s separation from the Company.

                    b.        Employee acknowledges that Company conducts its business on an international level and has customers throughout the United States and many other countries, and that the geographic restriction on solicitation is therefore fair and reasonable.

        2.        Confidential Information.

                    a.        For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes any and all information and trade secrets, whether written or otherwise, relating to Company’s business, property, products, services, operations, sales, prospects, research, customers, business relationships, business plans and finances.

                    b.        Employee acknowledges that while employed at Company, Employee will have access to Confidential Information. Employee further acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of great value to Company and that its improper disclosure will cause Company to suffer damages, including loss of profits.

                    c.        Except in connection with and in furtherance of Employee’s official duties with and on behalf of Company, Employee shall not at any time or in any manner use, copy, disclose, divulge, transmit, convey, transfer or otherwise communicate any Confidential Information to any person or entity, either directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent.

                    d.        Employee agrees, upon employment with Company, not to disclose to Company any confidential information or trade secrets of former employers or other entities Employee has been associated with.

         3.       Non-Disparagement.Each of Employee and the Company (for purposes hereof, “the Company” shall mean only (i) the Company by press release or other formally released announcement and (ii) the executive officers and directors thereof and not any other employees) agrees not to make any public statements that disparage the other party, or in the case of the Company, its respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products, articles, parts, supplies, accessories or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 3.

         4.        Injunctive Relief; Damages. Employee acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to Company and that money damages alone would be inadequate to compensate it. Upon a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other relief restraining Employee from such breach without posting a bond. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Company from pursuing any other remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from Employee.

         5.       Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible. Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, and in lieu, a provision as similar in terms as possible shall be added.

         6.       Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous representations or agreements. This Agreement and all related obligations shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

         8.       Survival. Employee’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment and shall thereafter be enforceable whether or not such termination is later claimed or found to be wrongful or to constitute or result in a breach of any contract or of any other duty owed to Employee.

         9.       Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be altered or amended, and no right hereunder may be waived, except by an instrument executed by each of the Parties.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
