Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 31, 2006, Compex Technologies, Inc. signed an amendment to the employment agreement with Dan Gladney, its Chief Executive Officer, and on Wednesday January 25, 2006 signed an amendment to the severance pay agreement with Wayne Chrystal, its Vice President of Manufacturing. Both amendments make clear that compensation due after termination of employment may not be paid beyond March 15 of the year following the year in which it becomes vested in order to comport with proposed regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the amendment to Mr. Gladney’s employment agreement makes clear that, in connection with the pending merger with Encore Medical Corporation, he will be entitled to severance equal to twice his annual salary plus a pro rata portion of his bonus if he resigns at any time within 60 days after shareholder approval of the merger and waiver by Encore of conditions to closing. The amendment to Mr. Chrystal’s severance pay agreement also clarifies that a relocation of his employment by more than 50 miles after a change of control would constitute "good reason" for a voluntary termination under which he would be entitled to severance.
