Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 11, 2010, RadioShack Corporation (“RadioShack”) and Tarrant County College District (“TCCD”) entered into the First Amendment to Lease (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Lease (the “Lease”), which was entered into by and between RadioShack and TCCD on June 25, 2008. The Amendment provides RadioShack with a renewal option to extend the Lease as to a certain portion of its corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Headquarters”) for five years after the expiration of the current term on June 30, 2011 (the “Extended Term”). RadioShack’s rental obligation to TCCD during the Extended Term with respect to two portions would be $433,333 per month. RadioShack’s rental obligation to TCCD during the Extended Term would be $337,500 per month for the portion of the Extended Term during which RadioShack leased only one of the foregoing two portions of the Headquarters. In the event RadioShack were to exercise its options to extend the term with respect to certain other portions of the Headquarters, RadioShack’s rental obligation to TCCD for those portions would be at fair market rental rates.

The Amendment provides RadioShack with certain options to terminate the Lease as to one or more portions of the Headquarters. The Amendment also makes certain changes to the provisions of the Lease concerning taxes assessed on the Headquarters as well as certain tax abatements.

RadioShack’s obligations under the Amendment are contingent upon RadioShack obtaining approvals and incentives in connection with its occupancy of the Headquarters. If RadioShack does not obtain one or more of such approvals or incentives on or before April 30, 2010, which approvals and incentives must be satisfactory to RadioShack in its sole discretion, RadioShack shall have the right to terminate the Amendment by giving notice to TCCD on or before May 31, 2010.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified entirely by the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference.
