Exhibit 10.4

# CHANGE IN CONTROL
SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

Change in Control Severance Agreement (as modified, amended or restated from time to
time in the manner provided herein, this Agreement) is by and between
the individual employee named below (the Employee) and SPAR Group, Inc.
(the Company). The Employee and the Company may be referred to
individually as a Party and collectively as the
Parties.

In
consideration of past, present and future employment by the Company, the mutual covenants
below and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged), the Employee and Company hereby agree as follows:

Section
1.Introduction.    The Employee is an officer of the Company or one of the
SPAR Affiliates (as hereinafter defined). The Employee and the Company have entered into
this Agreement in order to provide severance payments from the Company to the Employee
under certain circumstances if, pending or following a Change in Control, the Employee
leaves for Good Reason or is terminated other than in a Termination For Cause (as such
terms are hereinafter defined). However, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be
deemed or construed, to create any employment term or period, and except as otherwise
provided in any other written agreement with the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and
agrees that the Employees employment is at will and modifiable from time
to time and terminable at any time, for any reason or no reason, and without notice or
benefit of any kind.

2.         Certain Definitions.    Definitions shall be applicable equally to

the circumstance, and each other reference to or by gender shall include reference to each

but in any           event not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Employees

          pending or following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay (or cause the
          applicable SPAR Affiliate to pay) to the Employee an amount equal to his or her
          accrued and unused vacation days, computed at the Employees annual salary
          rate in effect immediately prior to his cessation of such employment (or, if
          greater, at the highest annual salary rate in effect at any time during the
          one-year period preceding the date of such termination) and in accordance with
          the applicable policy of the Company (or if changed pending or following a
          Change in Control, in accordance with the immediately preceding applicable
          policy of the Company).

(c)
        Insurance.In addition, during the two-year period following the
          effective date of any Change in Control, the Employee and his dependents shall
          continue to receive the insurance benefits received during the preceding year
as           well as any additional insurance benefits as may be provided to executive
          officers or their dependents during such period in accordance with the
          Companys policies and practices. The Employees required co-payments
          shall not exceed those payable by the other executive officers of the SPAR
          Group.

(d)
        Stock Options.Each stock option granted to the Employee that has not, by
          its express terms, vested shall be deemed to have vested on the date of any
          Severance Termination, and shall thereafter be exercisable for the maximum
          period of time allowed for exercise thereof under the terms of such option,
          assuming that the Employees employment with the Company had been
          terminated by the Company other than Termination For Cause or by the Employee
          for Good Reason. An election by the Employee to terminate his or her employment
          for Good Reason pending or following a Change in Control shall be deemed to be
a           permitted retirement (irrespective of age) of the Employee for the purpose of
          interpreting the provisions of any of the Companys employee benefit
plans,           programs, or policies.

(e)
        401k. The Employee shall be entitled to a 401k matching contribution for
          the year of his Severance Termination, which the Company shall pay into the
          Employees 401k (or deliver to the Employee for deposit into any rollover
          account respecting such 401k) at the same time for such year as matching
          contributions are made to the 401k plans of other executive officers.

(f)
        Illness not affecting Good Reason. The Employees right to terminate
          his employment for Good Reason pending or following a Change in Control shall
          not be affected by his illness or incapacity, whether physical or mental,
unless           the Company shall at the time be entitled to terminate his or her
employment by           reason thereof.

(g)
        Parachute Payments.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
          3, if it is determined that part or all of the compensation or benefits to be
          paid to the Employee under this Agreement in connection with the Employees
          Severance Termination , or under any other plan, arrangement or agreement,
          constitutes a parachute payment under section 280G(b)(2) of the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the amount constituting a
          parachute payment that would otherwise be payable to or for the benefit of the
          Employee first shall be deferred (to the greatest extent permitted by such
          applicable law), and to the extent not so deferred, shall be reduced (if
          required under such applicable law), but only to the extent necessary, so that
          such amount would not constitute a parachute payment. Any determination that a
          payment constitutes a parachute payment shall be made as promptly as
practicable           following the Employees termination of employment (but not
later than the           date payment is required under subsection (a) of this Section)
by the           independent public accountants that audited the Companys financial
          statements for the fiscal year preceding the year in which the Employees
          employment was terminated, whose determination shall be final and binding in
all           cases. Unless the Employee is given notice that a payment (or payments)
will           constitute a parachute payment prior to the earlier of (1) receipt of such
          payments or (2) the tenth business day following his or her Severance
          Termination, no payment (or payments) shall be deemed to constitute a parachute
          payment. If the determination made pursuant to this subsection would result in
a           deferral (to the greatest extent permitted under such applicable law) and to
the           extent not so deferred, a reduction (to the minimum extent required by such
          applicable law) of the payments that would otherwise be paid to the Employee,

          benefits of this Section 3 (other than those under subsections (b), (c) and (h)

          months following such termination without the good faith prosecution (criminal

          be entitled at such time to (x) all the benefits of this Section 3 as of such
          first to occur date, plus (y) the Employees salary and maximum

          periods under subsections (c) and (h) of this Section 3 and stock option

aspect of their employment relationship; In any such claim or dispute between the Employee

Party that service of process may be made in any such claim or dispute under this
Agreement upon such Party by (i) delivery pursuant to Section 7 hereof or (ii) any manner
of service available under the applicable law at address referenced in Section 7 hereof.

Section
6.        Arbitration.    (a) Arbitration Generally.    Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, any unresolved dispute or controversy with respect to this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration conducted by the American
Arbitration Association (including any successor body of similar function,
AAA) in accordance with the AAAs Commercial Arbitration Rules
then in effect (AAA Rules) and held in Westchester County, New York. In
any arbitration, no Party will raise, and each Party hereby expressly and irrevocably
waives, any objection or defense to such location as an inconvenient forum. To commence an
arbitration, the aggrieved Party shall submit an arbitration notice (including a copy of
this Agreement and a reasonable description of its claims) to the AAA at its headquarters
in New York, New York, and request a list of qualified arbitrators. The Parties agree that
each arbitrator must have significant experience and knowledge in the applicable field of
endeavor and (to the extent applicable) in the accounting field and GAAP.

(b)       
          Arbitrator Selection. Unless the Parties agree in writing to a single
          arbitrator prior to selection and a mechanism for his or her selection, three
          arbitrators shall be chosen by the Parties from the list submitted by the AAA
          within ten business days of receiving such list (or any subsequent list if
          applicable). Either Party may object to any proposed arbitrator that does not
          reasonably appear to have the required experience and knowledge or does not
          reasonably appear to be a disinterested, unrelated third party. If the Parties
          cannot agree on the three arbitrators, each Party shall select a single
          disinterested arbitrator from the AAAs list with such qualifications and
          the two arbitrators so selected by the Parties shall select the third arbitrator
          with such qualifications in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration shall
          begin within 30 business days of such appointment unless another date and/or
          place is otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

affecting any of its rights, powers, privileges, remedies and other interests under this
