Explanatory Note

On January 8, 2009, Tyson Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Form 8-K (the “Previous 8-K”) to report the appointment of Mr. Leland E. Tollett as the Company’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer. As of that date, the Company and Mr. Tollett had not finalized the terms of Mr. Tollett’s employment agreement. The Company is filing this first amendment to the Previous 8-K to further report the signing of an employment agreement with Mr. Tollett. The Previous 8-K is hereby amended to add the following:

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 5, 2009, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Tollett, the Company’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer since January 5, 2009 (the “Agreement”).

Mr. Tollett, age 72, previously served as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from 1995 to 1998. Mr. Tollett also served as president and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from 1991 to 1995. Mr. Tollett became a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in 1984 and remained in that capacity until February 1, 2008. Mr. Tollett has served as a consultant to the Company since his retirement as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1998. Mr. Tollett is also a director of J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.

The term of Mr. Tollett’s employment under the Agreement is effective as of January 5, 2009, and terminates on a date to be determined by the Executive Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, unless terminated prior to such date pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the “Period of Employment”). The Agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $600,000. The Company and Mr. Tollett may also mutually agree at a later date as to his eligibility under any bonus plan, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Tollett may also participate in any benefit programs generally applicable to officers of the Company, except for the Company’s executive long-term disability program, stock option and restricted stock programs, supplemental executive retirement plan, and life insurance plan. In addition, during the Period of Employment, Mr. Tollett is entitled to use certain Company-owned assets (and any related tax gross-up payments for such usage) consistent with Company policies and practices, including up to 25 hours annually of personal use of Company aircraft.

Mr. Tollett may terminate his employment under the Agreement, subject to confidentiality and non-compete obligations contained therein, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the Agreement at any time upon written notice to Mr. Tollett.

The Agreement also provides that Mr. Tollett will provide advisory services to the Company following the expiration of the Period of Employment (unless Mr. Tollett is terminated for cause or takes a position with a direct competitor of the Company) pursuant to the form of a consulting agreement attached to the Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”). The Consulting Agreement will commence on the date Mr. Tollett is no longer serving under the Agreement and will terminate upon his death. Pursuant to the Consultant Agreement, Mr. Tollett will contribute up to twenty (20) hours of advisory services per month to the Company. In lieu of receiving any equity compensation for his service as the interim President and Chief Executive Officer, which equity compensation would have vested and been payable upon his death or retirement, Mr. Tollett and the Company have agreed to the following compensation under the Consulting Agreement: (i) an annual payment of $300,000 to Mr. Tollett during the term of the Agreement, which payments will be made to Mr. Tollett or his estate for a minimum of ten (10) years; and (ii) health care coverage substantially similar to the health care coverage provided under the Agreement for Mr. Tollett and his spouse during their lifetime. In exchange for these benefits, Mr. Tollett is prohibited from (i) divulging the Company’s confidential or proprietary information, (ii) taking a position with a direct competitor of the Company during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for one (1) year following its termination, and (iii) soliciting the employment of any of the Company’s employees or agents during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for three (3) years following its termination.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K/A.

Notwithstanding the expiration of the Period of Employment, regardless of the reason, and in addition to other obligations that survive the Period of Employment, the obligations of Officer under Section 6 shall continue in effect after the Period of Employment for the time periods specified in such section.

(b)    Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Employer shall be entitled, at its election without Cause (defined in Section 5(c)), to terminate Officer’s employment pursuant to this Agreement upon written notice to Officer.

(c)     Involuntary Termination With Cause.

4

(c)Officer agrees that during Officer’s Period of Employment hereunder, and for a period of three (3) years after the expiration of the Period of Employment, Officer shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or contact any employee or agent of the Employer, with a view to or for the purposes of inducing or encouraging such employee or agent to leave the employ of Employer, for the purpose of being hired by Officer, any employer affiliated with Officer, or any Direct Competitor of Employer.

(d)    Officer and the Employer agree that the covenants of this Section 6 are reasonable under the circumstances, and further agree that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction such restraint is not reasonable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of these covenants as to the court shall appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of the covenants as so modified. Officer agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6 would irreparably injure the Employer. Accordingly, Officer agrees that the Employer may, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity,

6

cease making any payments otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain an injunction against Officer from any court having jurisdiction over the matter restraining any further violation of this Agreement by Officer.

(e)     The parties expressly acknowledge the provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) are intended to survive the expiration of the Period of Employment.

7.      Perquisites. During the Period of Employment, the Company shall make available to Officer the use of Company-owned assets (including use of Company-owned aircraft for up to 25 hours annually) in a manner consistent with the Company’s then existing policies; provided that Officer's personal use of the Company-owned assets shall not interfere with Company use of such assets. To the extent allowed under Company policy or practice, Employer will reimburse and gross-up Officer for any and all income tax liability (including interest and penalties) imposed upon Officer in connection with the receipt of the services and benefits sets forth in this Section 7 in an amount sufficient so that the services and benefits will be provided hereunder without reduction for taxes.

8.      Modification. This Agreement contains all the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties hereto, and no other agreements, oral or otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be deemed to exist or bind either of the parties hereto, except for any pre-employment confidentiality agreement that may exist between the parties, any agreement specifically referenced herein or any policy in effect at the Company. This Agreement supersedes and replaces the Senior Executive Employment Agreement dated November 20, 1998, as amended, between the Officer and the Company. This Agreement cannot be modified except by a writing signed by both parties.

7

9.      Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon Officer, Officer’s heirs, executors and personal representatives and upon Employer, its successors and assigns.
