Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 12, 2010, RadioShack Corporation (“RadioShack”) and Tarrant County College District (“TCCD”) entered into the Second Amendment to Lease (“Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Lease concerning RadioShack’s corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas (“Headquarters”). The Amended and Restated Lease was entered into by and between RadioShack and TCCD on June 25, 2008 and amended on March 11, 2010 (as amended, the “Lease”). The Amendment includes RadioShack’s exercise of its option to extend the term of the Lease as to a portion of its Headquarters for a period of five years beginning on July 1, 2011 (“Extended Term”). The Amendment provides that RadioShack’s rental obligation to TCCD during the Extended Term with respect to this portion of its Headquarters will be $433,333 per month. RadioShack has the option to terminate the Lease with respect to all or certain portions of the Headquarters beginning July 1, 2015.

The Amendment also provides that within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Amendment, TCCD will cause its suit against the Tarrant Appraisal District to be dismissed with prejudice. That suit concerns whether all or part of the premises subject to the Lease are exempt from ad valorem taxes. The Amendment also includes certain changes to the provisions of the Lease concerning the rights of RadioShack and TCCD with respect to certain tax incentives.

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.
