Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On May 15, 2008, the compensation committee of Globecomm Systems Inc. (the “Registrant”) authorized the amendment of the employment agreement of Andrew C. Melfi, the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (the “Executive”), pursuant to which the period that the Executive will receive severance pay will increase from two years to three years in the event the Executive terminates his employment for good reason or the Executive is terminated by the Registrant without cause. In the event of a change of control of the Registrant, if the Executive does not resign for good reason within one year of such change in control he would receive a special bonus of 300% of his then salary rather than the 200% of his then salary that is set forth in his original employment agreement. A copy of the amendment to the employment agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
