401 (k) Plan
This plan is a qualified retirement plan with various investment options, which allows participants to make a pre-tax contribution and receive a matching contribution from the company of $1 for $1 up to a 4% contribution level that vests immediately.  If you are 18 years of age or older and a non-temporary employee, you are eligible to enroll and participate in the Plan as soon as your first anniversary.  A complete set of enrollment materials will be provided closer to your eligibility date.

Stock Ownership
Our shareholders and the investment community often analyze and measure the commitment of management to the company through share ownership.  With this in mind, our Board of Directors adopted an ownership policy for all officers.  At your level you will be required to own RadioShack Corporation common stock having a value equal to one and one-half times your base salary.  A review to determine compliance with this policy will occur as of each December 31.  You are not expected to reach this level immediately.

Other benefits for which you will be eligible include:

More detailed information about each of these benefits will be covered during your new employee executive orientation.

This is a very exciting time to join RadioShack Corporation.  It is my hope that after accepting this contingent employment offer, you will be available to report for work no later than June 8, 2009.

Please sign, date and return this letter to me at your earliest convenience via facsimile to 817-415-2490.  Meanwhile, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call me at 817-415-3020.
