Exhibit 10.6

AMENDMENT TO

AGREEMENT

dated as of June 2, 2006

     THIS AMENDMENT, dated ____________, 2008, is entered into by and between EMS Technologies,
Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and Paul B. Domorski (“Domorski”) for the purpose of
amending, effective the date hereof, the Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the parties dated as
of June 2, 2006, in order to conform the terms of the Agreement to certain requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Paragraph III.2(a) of the Agreement is amended by substituting in its entirety the
following for the proviso to such paragraph:

provided, however, that the salary payments provided for hereunder
shall be paid in a single lump sum payment, to be paid not earlier than six months
and one day, and not later than seven months, after his termination of employment;
provided, further, that the amount of such lump sum payment shall
be determined by taking the salary payments to be made and discounting them to
their Present Value on the date Domorski’s employment is terminated, increased by
interest on such amount for each day from the 31st day after termination
of employment until the date of payment, calculated on a daily basis at a rate per
annum equal to the rate used to determine such Present Value. For purposes hereof,
Domorski’s “current salary” shall be the highest rate in effect during the
six-month period prior to Domorski’s termination.

     2. The fourth sentence of paragraph III.2(b) of the Agreement is amended to provide in its
entirety as follows:

If the terms of any healthcare plan referred to in this paragraph do not permit
continued participation by Domorski as required by this paragraph, or if the
healthcare benefits to be provided to Domorski and his dependents pursuant to this
paragraph cannot be provided in a manner such that the benefits will be tax-free to
them, then the Company shall (A) pay to Domorski monthly during the Continuation
Period an amount equal to the monthly rate for comparable COBRA coverage under such
healthcare plan for former active employees, minus the amount active employees are
then paying for such coverage, plus an additional amount as necessary to reimburse
Domorski for the additional taxes payable on both such additional compensation and
such additional amount at a combined tax rate of 45%, and (B) permit Domorski and
his dependents to elect to

 

 

participate in such healthcare plan for the Continuation Period upon payment of the
applicable rate for COBRA coverage, provided, however, that the
first such payment under the foregoing clause (A) shall be made not earlier than
six months and one day, and not later than seven months, after his termination of
employment and shall include all amounts so payable with respect to the first seven
months following such termination.

     3. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment to Agreement, all terms and conditions of
the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their original terms.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its
duly authorized officers and Domorski has hereunder set his hand, on the date first above written.

          EMS Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends and restates the EMS Technologies, Inc.
Officers’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which benefits certain management employees of
the Company. The Plan was originally adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on,

as of January 1, 2005, subject to the transition rules of Section 409A.

ARTICLE II

DEFINITIONS

          When used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below unless a
different meaning is plainly required by the context:

     2.1 “Account” means the records maintained by the Plan Administrator to determine
each Participant’s interest under this Plan. Such Account may be reflected as an entry in the
Employer’s records, or as a separate account under any trust established to provide benefits under
the Plan, or as a combination of both. The Plan Administrator may establish additional subaccounts
as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

     2.2 “Beneficiary” means the person or persons last designated in writing by a
Participant to receive the amount in his or her Account in the event of such Participant’s death;
or if no designation shall be in effect at the time of a Participant’s death or if all designated
Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, then the Beneficiary shall be such
Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, and if none, the Participant’s estate.

     2.3 “Compensation” with respect to any Plan Year means (i) all salary paid during such
year in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices, and (ii) all bonus and other cash
compensation earned during or in respect of services provided during such Year, regardless of
whether paid during or subsequent to such Year.

     2.4 “Disability” means the Participant has been determined to be disabled by the Plan
Administrator based upon the information provided to it and in a manner consistent with Section
409A.

 

 

     2.5 “Election Form” means the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator on which a
Participant may specify the amount of his or her Compensation that is to be deferred pursuant to
the provisions of Article III, and the times and form of payment pursuant to Article IV.

     2.6 “Employer” means the Company and each direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company that is the employer of a Participant.

     2.7 “Officer” means any employee of the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned

     2.8 “Participant” means any eligible Officer who has satisfied the requirements for
participation in this Plan and who has an Account.

     2.9 “Plan Administrator” means the committee or individual appointed pursuant to the
provisions of this Plan to administer the Plan. In the absence of such appointment, the Company
shall be the Plan Administrator.

     2.10 “Plan Year” means the calendar year.

     2.11 “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations and rulings thereunder, including any transition rules.

ARTICLE III

PARTICIPATION

     3.1 Eligibility to Participate. Each Officer shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan and shall become a Participant upon completion of the Election Form provided for in Section
3.3 below. A Participant shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan for so long as
he or she shall continue to be an Officer.

     3.2 Deferral Election. Each Participant may elect to defer under the Plan any whole
percentage of his or her Compensation (but not less than 10% of the Compensation to which the
election pertains), in the manner described in Section 3.3. The amount deferred by the Participant
shall be deducted each pay period in which the Participant has Compensation during his or her
period of participation in the Plan, but the Participant shall nonetheless be responsible for FICA,
Medicare and other applicable taxes required at the time to be withheld by the Employer.

     3.3 Time and Manner of Election. An eligible Officer desiring to become a Participant
shall complete an Election Form indicating the percentage or dollar amount of Compensation with
respect to a Plan Year to be deferred under the Plan. Such election may be separately stated with
respect to salary, bonus or other forms of cash compensation. Such election must be made prior to
the period of service for which the subject Compensation would

2

 

otherwise be payable, but in any event prior to the beginning of such Plan Year (or within 30
days of his or her initial eligibility to participate), except that an election with respect to
incentive compensation payable under the Company’s Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, or
its Senior Management Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, may be made not later than June 30 of the
year to which the potential incentive compensation pertains if: (i) such incentive compensation
qualifies as “performance-based compensation” under Section 409A; (ii) the specified performance
criteria are not substantially certain to be met at the time of such election; and (iii) the
determination of whether any subjective performance criteria are met is made by the Compensation
Committee or Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, and must be based on the performance of the
Participant, a group or business unit including the Participant, or the Company.

     The deferral election or elections, as applicable, for an Officer who is a Participant for a
Plan Year shall remain in effect for each succeeding Plan Year until a new applicable Election Form
is properly submitted. A Participant may not, after the applicable election date, discontinue his
or her election to participate or change the percentage of Compensation he or she has elected to
defer for a Plan Year.

          The Participant shall designate on the Election Form (or on a separate form provided by the
Plan Administrator) a Beneficiary to receive payment of amounts in his or her Account in the event
of death.

ARTICLE IV

INTEREST OF PARTICIPANTS

     4.1 Accounting for Participants’ Interests.

(a) Deferrals. Each Participant’s Account shall be credited with the amounts
of Compensation deferred by the Participant under this Plan, for each pay period
during which he or she is a Participant. The timing and manner in which amounts are
credited to Participants’ Accounts under this Plan shall otherwise be determined by
the Employer and the Plan Administrator in their discretion.

(b) Account Interest. The Participant’s Account shall be credited with
interest, compounded semi-annually, at the prime rate for commercial borrowers
specified by SunTrust Bank in effect on the first day of each calendar quarter,
except that (i) a Participant may agree with respect to any particular category of
Compensation deferred under the Plan that no, or a lesser amount of, interest shall
be credited with respect thereto, and (ii) no interest shall accrue or be payable
after the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a direct or indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, unless as a result either of retirement with the consent of
the Employer or of a disability (as determined by the Plan Administrator).

     4.2 Vesting of a Participant’s Account. A Participant’s interest in the value of his
or her Account shall at all times be 100% vested and nonforfeitable.

3

 

     4.3 Distribution of a Participant’s Account. A Participant’s Account shall be
distributed as provided in this Section 4.3.

(a) Date Specified in Participant’s Election. Subject to the other
provisions of this Section 4.3, each Participant may, at the time of making a
deferral election for the year, designate the date or dates (which may be before
termination of employment, at termination of employment, or later) on which amounts
deferred as a result of such election for such year (together with interest earned
thereon) shall be distributed, and the form of distribution. No such distribution
shall be paid for a period exceeding ten years, nor commence sooner than two years
after the Plan Year of the deferral. If the Participant does not designate a date
for payments, the payment shall be made upon termination of employment. All such
distributions must be completed not later than ten years following the Participant’s
termination of employment. Any amount credited to the Participant’s Account
remaining unpaid 10 years after termination of employment shall automatically be paid
to the Participant in a lump sum within 90 days after such date. If permitted by the
Plan Administrator, separate dates may be specified for deferrals of salary, bonus or
other forms of cash compensation. Any such designation of a payment date for
deferrals for a year may be changed on one occasion to further defer the distribution
date (“Further Deferral Election”) by submission of a revised Election Form. To be
effective, the Further Deferral Election (i) must be submitted at least 12 months
prior to the date of the first scheduled payment; (ii) must defer the scheduled
payment date for at least 5 years (except in the event of Disability or death); (iii)
will not be given effect until at least 12 months after the date the election is
made; and (iv) cannot provide for distribution later than 10 years following the
Participant’s termination of employment.

(b) Termination of Employment. In the event the Participant terminates
employment, the amount credited to his or her Account shall be paid to such
Participant in a lump sum, unless the Participant shall have designated at the time
of his or her initial enrollment, or in not more than one Further Deferral Election
meeting the requirements in (a) above, that payment be made in substantially equal
annual installments over a period of years (not to exceed ten).

Payment shall be made or shall commence within 90 days after such termination of
employment; provided, however, the Participant may elect to delay the commencement of
payment until the date specified on the Election Form (subject to the requirements of
paragraph (a) above), if such election to defer payment is made at the time of his or
her initial enrollment or thereafter on one occasion as a Further Deferral Election
meeting the requirements in (a) above; and provided, however, if the Participant is
or could likely be considered a Key Employee (as determined by the Plan
Administrator, in accordance with rules established by the Plan Administrator under
Section 409A), distributions to such Participant may not be made before the date
which is 6 months after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment (or,
if earlier, the date of death of the Participant), and any distribution that would
otherwise be payable before the 6-month anniversary

4

 

shall be delayed and shall be paid within 30 days following such 6-month anniversary.

(c) Death of Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant
(whether before or after termination of employment), distribution of the balance
credited to his or her Account as of the date of death shall be made to his or her
Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum within 30 days after the Plan Administrator receives
notice of the Participant’s death.

(d) Change in Control. In the event that a change in control of the Company
shall occur without the approval of a majority of the members of the Board having no
affiliation with, and not nominated or otherwise designated for membership on the
Board by, the party or parties acquiring control, the balances credited to the
Account of each Participant shall be distributed to him or her within 30 days of the
date of the change in control. For these purposes a “change in control” shall be
deemed to have occurred if any person or group (as such terms are defined in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), becomes the holder of
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting common stock,
provided however, that the occurrence of a “change in control” shall be determined in
a manner consistent with Section 409A.

     4.4 Early Distributions. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.4, no payment
of benefits shall be made under this Plan prior to the distribution date established pursuant to
Section 4.3 above. A Participant who suffers an Unforeseeable Emergency may file a written
request with the Plan Administrator for distribution of all or a portion of the amount credited to
his or her Account. The Plan Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether to
grant a Participant’s request and the amount to distribute to the Participant. The Plan
Administrator shall not authorize distribution of an amount in excess of that reasonably necessary
to alleviate the Unforeseeable Emergency, after consideration of both taxes owed on the
distribution and other financial resources available to the Participant. Any Participant who
receives a distribution under this Section 4.4 shall not be eligible to make additional deferrals
of Compensation to the Plan for a period of 12 months immediately following the date of the
distribution. If such Participant becomes eligible under the preceding sentence prior to the last
day of a Plan Year, he or she must elect to participate within 30 days of the date he becomes so
eligible, and may not again become a Participant until the first day of the immediately following
Plan Year.

ARTICLE V

PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

     5.1 Action. If a committee serves as the Plan Administrator, it may take action with
or without a meeting of committee members; provided, however, that any action shall be taken only
upon the vote or other affirmative expression of a majority of the committee members qualified to
vote with respect to such action. No member of any such committee, nor the appointed individual,
may participate in any decision that solely affects his or her own Account.

5

 

The Plan Administrator shall maintain records of the Plan Administrator’s proceedings and
other records and documents pertaining to the administration of the Plan.

     5.2 Right and Duties. The Plan Administrator shall administer and manage the Plan and
shall have all powers necessary to accomplish that purpose, including (but not limited to) the
following:

	 	i.	 	To construe, interpret, and administer the Plan;
	 
	 	ii.	 	To make allocations and determinations required by
the Plan, and to maintain records regarding Participants’ Accounts;
	 
	 	iii.	 	To compute and certify to the Employer the amount
and kinds of benefits payable to Participants or their Beneficiary(ies),
and to determine the time and manner in which such benefits are to be
paid;
	 
	 	iv.	 	To authorize all disbursements by the Employer
pursuant to the Plan;
	 
	 	v.	 	To maintain (or cause to be maintained) all the
necessary records of the administration of the Plan;
	 
	 	vi.	 	To make and publish such rules for the regulation
of the Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof;
	 
	 	vii.	 	To delegate to other individuals or entities from
time to time the performance of any duties or responsibilities hereunder;
and
	 
	 	viii.	 	To hire agents, accountants, actuaries,
consultants and legal counsel to assist in operating and administering
the Plan.

          The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe and to
interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits, and to determine the
amount and manner of payment of such benefits, and its decisions on such matters shall be final and
conclusive on all parties; provided, however, that all such determinations and decisions shall be
consistent with and subject to Applicable Regulations and the express provisions of the Plan.

     5.4 Compensation, Indemnity and Liability. The Plan Administrator shall serve as such
without bond and without compensation for services hereunder. All expenses of the Plan and the
Plan Administrator shall be paid by the Company. If the Plan Administrator is a committee, no
member of the committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the
committee, nor for any act or omission on his or her own part excepting willful misconduct. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Plan Administrator and each member of the committee,
if any, against any and all expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and expenses,
arising out of membership on the committee, excepting only expenses and liabilities arising out of
his or her own willful misconduct.

     5.5 Taxes. If the whole or any part of any Participant’s Account shall become liable
for the payment of any estate, inheritance, income or other tax which the Employer shall be

6

 

required to pay or withhold, the Employer shall have the full power and authority to withhold
and pay such tax out of any monies or other property in its hand for the account of the Participant
whose interests hereunder are so liable. The Employer shall provide the Participant notice of such
withholding. Prior to making any payment, the Employer may require such releases or other
documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary.

ARTICLE VI

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

     6.1 Claims for Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary(ies) (hereafter, “Claimant”)
does not receive timely payment of any benefits which he or she believes are due and payable under
the Plan, he or she may make a claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. The claim for
benefits must be in writing and addressed to the Plan Administrator or to the Company. If the
claim is denied, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days after
the Plan Administrator initially received the benefit claim. However, if special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator shall furnish notice
of the extension to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period and such
extension shall not exceed one additional, consecutive 90-day period. Any notice of a denial of
benefits shall advise the Claimant of the basis for the denial, any additional material or
information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and the steps which the
Claimant must take to have the claim for benefits reviewed.

     6.2 Appeals. Each Claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied may file a
written request for a review of his claim by the Plan Administrator. The request for review must
be filed within 60 days after receipt of the written notice denying the claim. The decision of the
Plan Administrator will be made within 60 days after receipt of a request for review and shall be
communicated in writing to the Claimant. Such written notice shall set forth the basis for the
Plan Administrator’s decision. If there are special circumstances that require an extension of
time for completing the review, the Plan Administrator’s decision shall be rendered not later than
120 days after receipt of a request for review.

ARTICLE VII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     7.1 Amendments. The Board shall have the right in its sole discretion to amend this
Plan in whole or in part at any time, and all Participants shall be bound thereby; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall reduce either the amounts credited at that time to any
Participant’s Account or the interest to be paid on such amounts prior to their distribution in
accordance with each Participant’s elections then in effect.

     7.2 Termination of Plan. The Company expects to continue the Plan, but does not
obligate itself to do so. The Company reserves the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at
any time, in whole or in part, for any reason (including a change, or an impending change, in the
tax laws of the United States or any state thereof). Termination of the Plan shall be binding

7

 

on all Participants, but in no event may such termination reduce the amounts credited at that
time to any Participant’s Account, or the interest to be paid on such amounts prior to their
distribution. If, upon Plan termination, the Company also terminates all other arrangements that
would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A, the Plan Administrator shall direct the
payment of the Participants Accounts. Such payments shall be made in a lump sum and shall not be
made earlier than 12 months after the date of termination of the Plan (unless the Participant is
otherwise entitled to a distribution during such period) and shall be completed within 24 months
after the date of termination. However, in the event of such a distribution, the Company may not,
within three years following the date of termination, adopt any other arrangements that would be
aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A with respect to the Participants.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

     8.1 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan shall not give any
Participant the right to be retained in the Company’s employ or any right or interest in the Plan
or any assets of the Company other than as herein provided. The Company and each Employer reserve
the right to terminate the employment of any Participant without any liability for any claim
against the Company under the Plan, except to the extent provided herein.

     8.2 Benefits Unfunded. The benefits provided by the Plan shall be unfunded. All
amounts payable hereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or Employer, and
nothing contained herein shall require the Company or Employer to set aside or hold in trust any
amounts or assets for the purpose of paying benefits to Participants. This Plan shall create only
a contractual obligation on the part of the Company or Employer, and Participants shall have the
status of general unsecured creditors of the Company or Employer with respect to amounts of
Compensation they defer hereunder or any other obligation of the Company or Employer to pay
benefits pursuant hereto. Any funds available to pay benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be
subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company or Employer, and may be used for any
purpose by the Company or Employer.

          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company or Employer may, with the approval of the
Board, at any time transfer assets to a trust established under the laws of a jurisdiction within
the United States, for purposes of paying all or any part of its obligations under the Plan.
However, such transferred amounts shall remain subject to the claims of general creditors of the
Company or Employer to the extent specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, such trust.
To the extent that assets are held in the trust when a Participant’s benefits under the Plan become
payable, the Plan Administrator shall direct the trustee to make trust assets available to pay such
benefits to the Participant. Any payments made to a Participant or Beneficiary(ies) from such
trust shall relieve the Company and Employer from any further obligations under the Plan only to
the extent of such payment.

     8.3 Other Plans. The Plan shall not affect the right of any Officer or Participant to
participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the provisions of any other
benefit plans which are now or hereafter maintained by the Employer, unless the terms of such other
benefit plan or plans specifically provide otherwise.

8

 

     8.4 Receipt or Release. Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against
the Plan Administrator and the Company, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant, as
a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

     8.5 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all
respects in accordance with applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by federal law,
in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. If any provisions of this instrument shall be
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

     8.6 Employers. Each Employer shall be the primary obligor with respect to the Plan
benefits that are owed to a Participant who is employed by the Employer, and if a trust is
established pursuant to Section 8.2, such Employer shall make contributions to the trust on behalf
of the Participants that it employs.

     8.7 Gender, Tense, and Headings. In this Plan, whenever the context so indicates, the
singular or plural number and the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be deemed to include
the other. Headings and subheadings are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not
considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

     8.8 Nonalienation of Benefits. The amounts credited to the Account of a Participant
shall not (except as provided in Section 5.5) be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any
kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to any benefits payable
hereunder, including, without limitation, any assignment or alienation in connection with a
separation, divorce, child support or similar arrangement, shall be null and void and not binding
on the Plan or the Company or Employer.

     8.9 Conformance with Section 409A. At all times during each Plan Year, this Plan
shall be operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. Any action that may be
taken (and, to the extent possible, any action actually taken) by the Plan Administrator or the
Company shall not be taken (or shall be void and without effect), if such action violates the
requirements of Section 409A. Any provision in this Plan document that is determined to violate
the requirements of Section 409A shall be void and without effect. In addition, any provision that
is required to appear in this Plan document in accordance with Section 409A that is not expressly
set forth shall be deemed to be set forth herein, and the Plan shall be administered in all
respects as if such provision were expressly set forth.
