Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with each of the named executive officers.

In 2006, we entered into a new employment agreement (the “2006 Agreement”) with Matthew Serra as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, which extended the term of Mr. Serra’s employment with the Company through the end of our 2009 fiscal year. The 2006 Agreement replaced the employment agreement dated February 9, 2005 that we had with Mr. Serra. Mr. Serra’s compensation arrangements continued substantially unchanged under the 2006 Employment Agreement.

We also entered into a new employment agreement with Ronald Halls in 2006 in connection with his promotion to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Foot Locker, Inc.—International, which extended the term of his employment agreement through May 1, 2009.

We describe the material terms of each of these agreements in the tables below. Information on payments on termination of the agreements follows these tables.
