     WHEREAS, KEY TRONIC CORPORATION (the "Employer") and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx (the
"Employee") desire to modify Employee's October 27, 1994 Employment Contract
(the "Agreement");

     WHEREAS, said modification is based upon the mutual desires of the Employer
and the Employee;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained therein,
the following modification to the October 27, 1994 Employment Contract is
executed.  Except as provided in this modification, the other terms and
conditions set out in the October 27, 1994 Employment Contract remain in full
force and effect.

1.   Section 9 a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

     "9.  TERMINATION
          a)   Employer's Board of Directors, its President or CEO may, in
          their discretion, terminate Employee's employment at any time for
          any reason or for no reason.  After such termination, Employer
          shall pay Employee for Employee's accumulated unused vacation and,
          subject to the provisions below, Employer shall continue to pay
          Employee's base salary only in effect prior to termination for a
          period of two years after termination if termination occurs prior
          to July 30, 2002 and for a period of one year after termination if
          termination occurs on or after July 30, 2002.  Also, for the
          period during which any salary payments are being made, Employer
          will continue Employee's group medical and dental plan coverage
          for Employee and Employee's dependents as such plans are then
          generally offered to employees of Employer.  Employee may elect to
          continue group medical coverage at the termination of severance
          benefits, for the balance of any COBRA periods, at Employee's sole
          expense.  Employee shall not be entitled to receive any payments
          under any bonus, profit sharing or other incentive compensation
          plan of Employer unless Employee is employed by Employer on the
          date such payments are due to be paid."
