                              AUDIOVOX CORPORATION
                     LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARD
                   TO JOHN J. SHALAM DATED AS OF MAY 29, 2002

         1.   Purpose.

                  The purpose of this Audiovox Corporation Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Award (the "Award") is to align the interests of John J. Shalam, as
President and CEO of Audiovox Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors, "AX"), and its subsidiaries (and their respective successors),
now held or hereafter acquired with those of the equity holders of AX; to
motivate and to reward the performance of John J. Shalam in fulfilling his
personal responsibilities with regard to Audiovox Communications Corp. ("ACC")
and its subsidiaries (and their respective successors) for long-range
achievements.

         2.   Administration.

                  This Award shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall
have the authority, in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with
the express provisions of this Award, to administer this Award and to exercise
all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under this
Award or necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of this
Award; to construe and interpret this Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to this Award; and to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this
Award, consistent with the terms and provisions of this Award. Determinations
made by the Board pursuant to this Section 2 shall be final and binding on AX,
its subsidiaries and their respective successors and John J. Shalam.

         3.   Appreciation Units.

                  (a) Initial Number and Value of Units. The current total
number of issued and outstanding shares of Stock of ACC is 146.666666. Based on
a value of $773,818, the aggregate number of Appreciation Units which are
subject to this Award is 7.1428571364, subject to adjustment as provided in
paragraph (b) below.

                  For illustration purposes only, assuming a future stock split
                  of 22 Million shares, this Award would be equal to 1,000,000
                  shares at $5.53 per share. Assuming an IPO price of $20.53 per
                  share, the Appreciation Value would be equal to
                  $15,000,000.00.

The value at any time of an Appreciation Unit shall be equivalent to the value
of one outstanding share of Stock at such time. The Board shall determine in its
discretion, subject to the terms of this Award, the Final Value of an
Appreciation Unit.

                  (b) Equitable Adjustment. Subject to Section 4, in the event
that a transaction or other event or circumstance affecting ACC is proposed or
shall occur, including, but not limited to,

                                  Exhibit 10.12

<PAGE>

(i) equity investments in ACC or distributions from ACC in respect of equity
interests in ACC (whether such investments or distributions are made in cash or
in kind) or (ii) any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of
cash, stock or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, tender offer, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, share exchange, sale of assets or other similar
transaction or event, and the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that a
change or adjustment in the terms of any Award is appropriate, then the Board
may, in its sole discretion, make such equitable changes or adjustments or take
any other actions that it deems necessary or appropriate (which shall be
effective at such time as the Board in its sole discretion determines),
including, but not limited to causing changes or adjustments to any or all of
(i) the number of any Appreciation Units subject to an outstanding Award and
(ii) the Base Value associated with any Appreciation Units subject to an
outstanding Award.

                  (c) Rights with Respect to the Appreciation Units. Each
Appreciation Unit represents the right to receive: (i) in the event that the
Triggering Event is an IPO, the right to receive an Option as provided under
Section 4; or (ii) in the event that the Triggering Event is the closing of any
Acquisition of a Controlling Interest in ACC by Toshiba or another third party,
an amount ("Appreciation Unit Payment Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of
the price per share over the Base Value of Appreciation Unit. Payment of the
Appreciation Unit Payment Amount in case (ii) shall be made in the form of cash.

                  (d) Vesting of Appreciation Units. This Award of Appreciation
Units granted to John J. Shalam is vested. The Appreciation Units can be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the
Participant.

         4. IPO Triggering Event. In the event there shall occur an IPO, then,
upon the IPO Date, this Award shall be canceled and John J. Shalam shall be
entitled to receive from AX an Option to purchase shares of Stock. Each Option
so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined
by the Board in its sole discretion at the time of grant of such Option
including without limitation those decisions necessary or desirable to effect a
successful conclusion of the IPO; provided, however, that the aggregate
Appreciation Value of the Appreciation Unit Award as of the IPO Date shall be
preserved as of the grant date of such Option and such Option shall continue for
at least ten (10) years.

         5.   General Provisions.

                  (a) Compliance with Legal Requirements. This Award, and the
other obligations of AX under this Award shall be subject to all applicable
federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any
regulatory or governmental authority or agency as may be required.

                  (b) Withholding Taxes. At the time AX makes any payment
relating to any Appreciation Unit, AX may withhold from such payment the full
amount of any federal and state withholding or other employment taxes required
by any government authority to be withheld or

                                  Exhibit 10.12

otherwise deducted and paid in respect of such payment. The Board may provide
for other arrangements to satisfy AX's withholding obligations in this Award or
otherwise.

                  (c) Amendment and Termination of this Award. This Award shall
automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event.

                  (d) Unfunded Status of Awards. This Award is intended to
constitute an "unfunded" Award for incentive and deferred compensation. With
respect to any payments not yet made to John J. Shalam pursuant to this Award,
nothing contained in this Award shall give John J. Shalam any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of AX.

                  (e) Governing Law. This Award and all determinations made and
actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

authority, in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the
express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the
powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or
necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of the Plan,
including, without limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the
persons to whom and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to
determine the number of Appreciation Units to be granted to any Participant, and
the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria relating to any
Award; to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances an
Award may be settled, cancelled, adjusted, forfeited, exchanged, surrendered or
accelerated; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the
terms and provisions of Award Agreements, consistent with the terms and
provisions of the Plan; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan, consistent with the terms and
provisions of the Plan. Determinations made by the Board pursuant to this
Section 3 shall be final and binding on ACC, its subsidiaries and their
respective successors and the Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACC's
Chief Executive Officer as of the Effective Date (the "CEO") shall have the
discretion to determine the initial allocation of Appreciation Units under the
Plan as follows: the CEO shall have sole discretion to determine the initial
allocation of the remaining Appreciation Units initially reserved under the
Plan, provided that at least 54.55% must be allocated to individuals other than
the CEO and the Board shall have the right to review these allocations made by
the CEO and make changes to such allocations as it, in its sole discretion,
shall determine to be appropriate.

     4.   Eligibility.

          Initial Awards may be granted by ACC to the CEO and such other
employees, non- employee directors and consultants of ACC and its subsidiaries
as the CEO shall determine in his sole discretion, subject to the provisions of
Section 3. Awards under the Plan that are not Initial Awards may be granted by
ACC to such employees, non-employee directors and consultants of ACC and its
subsidiaries as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.

     5.   Appreciation Units.

          (a)   Initial Number and Value of Units. The aggregate number of
Appreciation Units which may be made subject to Initial Awards is 15.7142857,
subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph (b) below. The value at any time
of an Appreciation Unit shall be equivalent to the value of one outstanding
share of Stock at such time. Each grant of Appreciation Unit subject to an Award

                                  Exhibit 10.13

<PAGE>

shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form and having such terms and
conditions as the Board shall from time to time approve. The Board shall
determine in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, the Final Value
of any Appreciation Unit, and the vesting schedule, if any, applicable to each
Award, and the performance criteria, if any, which must be attained as a
condition of such vesting. The Board shall also determine in its discretion the
Base Value of any Appreciation Unit that may be made subject to an Award that is
not an Initial Award. Any Appreciation Unit that is subject to an Award that is
forfeited and cancelled prior to a Triggering Event shall be available for
re-issuance under the Plan.

          (b) Equitable Adjustment. Subject to Section 6, in the event that a
transaction or other event or circumstance affecting ACC is proposed or shall
occur, including, but not limited to, (i) equity investments in ACC or
distributions from ACC in respect of equity interests in ACC (whether such
investments or distributions are made in cash or in kind) or (ii) any dividend
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, stock or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, tender
offer, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange,
sale of assets or other similar transaction or event, and the Board determines,
in its sole discretion, that a change or adjustment in the terms of any Award is
appropriate, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, make such equitable
changes or adjustments or take any other actions that it deems necessary or
appropriate (which shall be effective at such time as the Board in its sole
discretion determines), including, but not limited to causing changes or
adjustments to any or all of (i) the number of, and vesting schedule applicable
to, any Appreciation Units subject to an outstanding Award, (ii) the Base Value
associated with any Appreciation Units subject to an outstanding Award and (iii)
the number of Appreciation Units remaining available for grants of Awards.

          (c) Rights with Respect to Appreciation Units. Each vested
Appreciation Unit shall represent the right to receive, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement pursuant to which such
Appreciation Unit is granted: (i) in the event that the Triggering Event is an
IPO, the right to receive an Option as provided under Section 6; or (ii) in the
event that the Triggering Event is the occurrence of the Plan Termination Date,
an amount ("Appreciation Unit Payment Amount") equal to the excess, if any, of
the Final Value of the Appreciation Unit over the Base Value of such
Appreciation Unit. Payment of the Appreciation Unit Payment Amount shall be made
in the form of cash.

          (d) Vesting of Appreciation Units. Unless otherwise provided in an
Award Agreement at the time of grant of such Award, and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Plan, no Award of Appreciation Units granted to a
Participant shall become vested until the occurrence of a Triggering Event, at
which time all outstanding Awards shall vest in full.

          (e) Termination of Services. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award
Agreement at the time of grant of such Award, if a Participant ceases to provide
services to ACC for any reason (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by death),
then, all Appreciation Units held by such Participant shall be immediately
forfeited and cancelled effective as of the effective date of the termination of
such Participant's services.

                                  Exhibit 10.13

<PAGE>

          (f) Restrictions. Appreciation Units cannot be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Participant.
Any attempt to so dispose of all or any portion of an Appreciation Unit shall be
void and without any force and effect.

     6. IPO Triggering Event. In the event that during the term of the Plan
there shall occur an IPO, then, upon the IPO Date, each then-outstanding Award
shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from ACC
a grant of an Option that shall be granted by ACC subject to the terms of any of
its then-extant equity incentive plans that provides for the grant of non-
qualified stock options to purchase shares of Stock (any such plan, an "ACC
Plan"). Each Option so granted shall be subject to such terms and conditions as
shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion at the time of grant of
such Option, not inconsistent with the terms of such ACC Plan; provided,
however, that the aggregate Appreciation Value of the Appreciation Unit Award as
of the IPO Date shall be preserved as of the grant date of such Option.

     7. General Provisions.

          (a) Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting of,
and payments with respect to, Awards, and the other obligations of ACC under the
Plan and any Award Agreement or other agreement shall be subject to all
applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals
by any regulatory or governmental authority or agency as may be required.

          (b) No Right To Provide Services. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award
granted or any Award Agreement or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto
shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue to provide services to
ACC or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan
or such Award Agreement or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any
way the right of ACC to terminate such Participant's services.

          (c) Withholding Taxes. At the time ACC makes any payment relating to
any Appreciation Unit, ACC may withhold from such payment the full amount of any
federal and state withholding or other employment taxes required by any
government authority to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid in respect of
such payment. The Board may provide for other arrangements to satisfy ACC's
withholding obligations in the Award Agreement or otherwise.

          (d) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may at any time
and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in
part; provided, however, that no amendment which requires the approval of ACC's
equity holders under applicable Delaware law shall be effective unless the same
shall be approved by the requisite vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject
to the other provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, no
amendment shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Participant, without
such Participant's consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.
The Plan and the power to grant Awards under the Plan shall automatically
terminate upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event. If the Plan is terminated,
any outstanding Award shall continue to be administered in accordance with its
terms and the terms of the Plan in effect immediately prior to such termination.

                                  Exhibit 10.13
<PAGE>

          (e) Participant Rights. No Participant shall have any claim to be
granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of
treatment for Participants. The Participant shall not have any rights as an
equity holder of ACC with respect to any Appreciation Units.

          (f) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an
"unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained
in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of ACC.

          (g) Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions
taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware
without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

          (h) Effective Date. The Board has adopted the Plan. The Plan shall
become effective as of the Effective Date.
