ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Effective September 1, 2009, GTSI Corp. (the "Company") entered into (a) Change
of Control Agreements with Todd Leto, its Senior Vice President, Sales, and
William Weber, its Senior Vice President, Services (the "COC Agreements"); and
(b) amendments to existing employment agreements with Jim Leto, its Chief
Executive Officer, Scott Friedlander, its Chief Operating Officer and President,
and Peter Whitfield, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the
"Amendments"). As a result of entering into the COC Agreements, the Company's
prior change of control agreements with Todd Leto and William Weber, each dated
April 28, 2006, were terminated.
The COC Agreements and the Amendments included a provision for the immediate
acceleration of vesting of equity compensation awards upon a change of control
event. The prior change of control arrangements in the aboved referenced
(a) terminated change of control agreements and (b) employment agreements
required both a change of control event and termination of employment before the
acceleration of vesting of equity compensation awards. In addition, other than
with respect to Mr. Friedlander, the COC Agreements and Amendments increased the
severance amounts payable to each senior executive if within two years after a
change of control occurs the senior executive's employment is terminated by the
Company without cause or by the senior executive for good reason. The severance
amounts for Todd Leto and William Weber have been increased from 12 months to
15 months, the severance amount for Jim Leto has been increased from 12 months
to 24 months, and the severance amount for Mr. Whitfield has been increased from
six months to 15 months. The remaining provisions of the prior change of control
arrangements with the senior executives have not materially changed and are
included in the COC Agreements and Amendments.
The foregoing descriptions of the COC Agreements and the Amendments are only
summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text
of the COC Agreement and Amendments, as applicable, that have been filed as
exhibits to this Form 8-K. Copies of the COC Agreements are attached as
