ITEM 1.01
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

The Merger and the Merger Agreement
 
On October 5, 2008, Innotrac Corporation, a Georgia corporation (“Innotrac”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GSI Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GSI”), and Bulldog Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GSI (“Acquisition Sub”).
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into Innotrac, with Innotrac continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GSI (the “Merger”).  The Merger Agreement provides that GSI will acquire Innotrac for $52.0 million, consisting of cash of $22.0 million and shares of GSI common stock valued at $30.0 million.  The cash amount and the number of shares to be received are subject to adjustment.  At GSI’s option, all or a portion of the stock component may be paid in cash.

Innotrac also entered into certain additional agreements in connection with the Merger Agreement, as described below.
 
The number of shares to be issued as the stock component of the merger consideration will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of GSI common stock during the twenty trading days ending on (and including) the third trading day prior to the scheduled date of the Innotrac shareholders meeting to approve the Merger.  If the average GSI stock price during this period is greater than or equal to $13.03 or less than or equal to $20.85, the value of the stock component is fixed and the number of shares comprising the stock component will equal $30.0 million divided by the average GSI stock price during this period.  If the average GSI stock price during this period is greater than $20.85, the number of shares comprising the stock component will be fixed at 1,438,849 and, accordingly, the value of the stock component will be greater than $30.0 million; however, GSI may, at its election, pay all or a portion of the stock component in cash in lieu of issuing stock, and thus reduce the value of this portion of the consideration to no less than $30 million.  If the average GSI stock price during this period is less than $13.03, the number of shares comprising the stock component will be fixed at 2,302,379 and, accordingly, the value of the stock component will be less than $30.0 million.  If the average GSI stock price during this period is less than $11.12, either party will have the right to terminate the agreement.  If this termination right is exercised by Innotrac, GSI may, at its election, avoid termination of the agreement by paying the stock component of the merger consideration in either cash or stock that has a value of $25.6 million.
 
The Merger is expected to close during the first half of 2009 and is subject to customary and other closing conditions, including (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of Innotrac common stock, (ii) receipt of certain third party consents, (iii) that there be no material adverse effect on Innotrac’s business between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger and (iv) court approval by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the “Court”) of a Settlement Agreement between Innotrac and the court-appointed receiver for the IPOF Fund (as defined below), as described in further detail below.
 
Under the Merger Agreement, Innotrac may not solicit or participate in discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding an acquisition of the stock or assets of Innotrac, except that under certain circumstances Innotrac may respond to an unsolicited bona fide proposal for an alternative acquisition that is a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided Innotrac otherwise complies with certain terms of the Merger Agreement.
 

 
Innotrac and GSI have agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants by Innotrac (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger, (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period without the consent of GSI, (iii) to convene and hold a meeting of the shareholders of Innotrac to consider and vote upon the approval of the Merger, and (iv) that, subject to certain exceptions, the Board of Directors of Innotrac will recommend approval of the Merger by its shareholders.
 
The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for both GSI and Innotrac.  Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances Innotrac will be required to pay GSI a termination fee of $1.6 million and reimburse GSI for up to $1.0 million of its expenses incurred in connection with the Merger.
 
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms.  It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Innotrac, GSI or Acquisition Sub. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each of Innotrac, GSI and Acquisition Sub made to the other parties to the Merger Agreement.  The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by in formation in a confidential disclosure letter delivered in connection with signing the Merger Agreement.  The disclosure letter contains information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts at the time they were made or otherwise.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

IPOF Fund Settlement Agreement

Also on October 5, 2008, Innotrac entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mark E. Dottore, as the Court appointed receiver (the “Receiver”) for all assets of any kind of IPOF L.P., IPOF Fund, IPOF Fund II, L.P., GSI and GSGI (“IPOF Fund”).  The Settlement Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement, the Receiver shall receive IPOF Fund’s share of the Merger consideration, with respect to the shares owned by IPOF Fund, directly from GSI.  (IPOF Fund holds 4,321,771 shares, or approximately 35.1%, of Innotrac Common Stock currently outstanding.)  The Settlement Agreement also provides that the Receiver will file a motion with the Court requesting that the Court (i) grant conditional and final approval of the Settlement Agreement, (ii) grant conditional and final approval of the sale, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, of the shares of Innotrac Common Stock owned by IPOF Fund, (iii) order the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against Innotrac or any of its affiliates from the actions captioned Sheldon Gordon, et al. v. David Dadante, et al., Case No. 1:05 CV 2726, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Small v. Regalbuto, Case No.1:06 CV 01721, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and Amantea v. Innotrac, et al., Case No. 07 CV 03542, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and (iv) issue a Bar Order pursuant to which all other participants in any litigation involving IPOF Fund are barred from pursuing any claims against Innotrac or any of its affiliates.
 

 
In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Innotrac will pay to the Receiver the sum of $100,000 for distribution to IPOF Fund, separate from IPOF Fund’s share of the Merger consideration to be received from GSI.  Additionally, each of Innotrac and IPOF Fund will fully release the other from all causes of action, suits, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs).
 
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Voting, Cooperation and Indemnification Agreement
 
Also on October 5, 2008, Scott D. Dorfman, Innotrac’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Dorfman”), and his wife entered into a Voting, Cooperation and Indemnification Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with GSI.  The Voting Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, generally imposes on both Mr. Dorfman and his wife certain restrictions and obligations with respect to their ownership of Innotrac Common Stock until the earlier of a valid termination of the Merger Agreement and the date the Merger is deemed effective.  Specifically, the Voting Agreement prohibits each of Mr. Dorfman and his wife from transferring any of their respective shares of Innotrac common stock, and requires that both Mr. Dorfman and his wife vote all such shares of Innotrac Common Stock in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and support actions necessary to consummate the Merger.  The Voting Agreement also prohibits each of Mr. Dorfman and his wife from soliciting or knowingly facilitating inquiries or proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions.

Additionally, the Voting Agreement provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Mr. Dorfman will pay to GSI two-thirds of the amount by which the proceeds payable to Mr. Dorfman in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds the merger consideration payable to Mr. Dorfman under the Merger Agreement provided that such Acquisition Proposal is completed or entered into (and subsequently completed) during the one year period after termination.
 
The Voting Agreement also requires Mr. Dorfman to indemnify GSI and Acquisition Sub, beginning after the effective date of the Merger, from and against all claims, damages or expenses arising out of (i) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in the Voting Agreement or the capitalization representation in the Merger Agreement, (ii) any failure or refusal to satisfy or perform any covenant of the Voting Agreement, and (iii) subject to certain exceptions, matters related to litigation involving the IPOF Fund.  Claims for such amounts must be made by GSI within two years of the closing of the Merger.  Mr. Dorfman’s indemnification liability is capped at $10.0 million, subject to certain exceptions.  In order to secure his indemnification obligations, Mr. Dorfman will cause $4.0 million of his Merger consideration to be placed into an escrow account.  The escrow amount may be decreased as releases from IPOF Fund investors are received.
 
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
 
This Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”), entered into as of October 5, 2008, is made by and between Innotrac Corporation (“INOC”) and Mark E. Dottore, as the Court appointed Receiver for all assets of any kind of IPOF L.P., IPOF Fund, IPOF Fund II, L.P., GSI and GSGI1 (which are collectively referred to as the “IPOF Fund”) acting for and on behalf of the IPOF Fund.  The IPOF Fund and INOC are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
 
RECITALS
 
A.  In November 2005, persons comprising all IPOF Fund limited partner/investors filed or subsequently joined as plaintiffs in an action captioned Sheldon Gordon, et al. v. David Dadante, et al., Case No. 1:05 CV 2726, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the “Receivership Action”).
 
B.  Mark E. Dottore (the “Receiver”) was by Orders in the Receivership Action entered November 23, 2005 and December 1, 2005 as supplemented by an Order entered October 6, 2006, duly appointed as the Receiver for all assets of any kind of the IPOF Fund (the “Receivership Estate”), and was invested by the Court with the power to administer the Receivership Estate with the same rights and powers as a general partner in a limited partnership pursuant to the law of Ohio.
 
C.  Assets of the IPOF Fund for which Dottore is the Receiver include 4,321,771 shares of common stock of INOC, representing approximately 35.1% of the total shares outstanding, all of which the Receiver desires to sell for the benefit of IPOF Fund and its limited partners/investors.
 
D.  In addition to the Receivership Action there are actions pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio captioned Amantea v. Innotrac, et al., Case No. 07 CV 03542 (the “Amantea Action”), and Small v. Regalbuto, Case No.1:06 CV 01721 (the “Small Action”), in which certain IPOF Fund limited partners/investors are either parties or proposed parties who assert or seek to assert individual claims against INOC and certain of its current and former officers and directors.
 

1           “GSI” and “GSGI” purportedly are entities established by David Dadante to perpetuate a fraudulent scheme regarding the IPOF Fund.

 
E. Since the establishment of the Receivership, INOC and the Receiver have engaged in cooperative efforts intended to bring about the sale or disposition of INOC common stock held by IPOF Fund so as to realize the fair value of that stock for the benefit of IPOF Fund.  INOC has entered into a merger agreement more particularly identified below, and the Parties each believe that the merger is in the best interests of INOC and the IPOF Fund, and will provide the IPOF Fund with the means of liquidating its shares of INOC common stock at a fair value.  INOC has entered into this Settlement Agreement in conjunction with the merger agreement, and the Parties acknowledge that the merger is contingent upon, among other things, (i) the settlement and release of any and all existing or potential claims, disputes or causes of action by the IPOF Fund, on its own behalf and on behalf of all of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, parents, successors and other affiliates, general and limited partners and investors, and their respective past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, employees, agents and representatives, and their respective successors, predecessors, heirs and assigns and attorneys, against INOC and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, parents, successors and other affiliates, and their respective past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, employees, agents and representatives, and their respective successors, predecessors, heirs and assigns and attorneys (collectively, the “INOC Released Parties”) in the Receivership, Small and Amantea Actions; and (ii) the issuance of certain ancillary orders as further provided herein in connection with approval of this settlement.
 
F.  In undertaking to resolve, settle and dismiss these claims, disputes and causes of action, the Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is not premised on any finding or ruling by any court or other authority, or any admission by the INOC Released Parties, that there has been any fraud or other misconduct on the part of any of the INOC Released Parties with respect to the Receivership, Small or Amantea Actions or any other of the above-referenced claims, disputes or causes of action.
 
2

 
G.  This Settlement Agreement is subject to approvals by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in the Receivership, Small and Amantea Actions, and such determinations or findings the Court deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Agreement (“Court Approval”), as well as issuing certain ancillary orders as provided herein.
 
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, for the consideration recited and as set forth herein, and, subject to Court Approval, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Innotrac Stock.  Simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, INOC has entered into a merger agreement with GSI Commerce, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which all shares of INOC stock, including all shares held by the Receiver, will be acquired for either (i) a combination of cash and Purchaser's stock or (ii) all cash, as provided in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”).  The term “Merger Agreement” as used herein will also include any amendment to the Merger Agreement entered into by INOC after the date hereof that is approved by its Board of Directors.  The shares held by the IPOF Fund will be entitled to receive in the merger the same per share Merger Consideration per share to be paid to all other INOC shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The Receiver shall receive the IPOF Fund’s share of the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares owned by the IPOF Fund directly from the Purchaser, as provided in the Merger Agreement.  The Parties agree that the Merger Consideration per share provided for in the Merger Agreement is a fair and equitable price for INOC shares and it is in the best interests of all INOC shareholders to vote in favor of such merger.  The purchase of INOC shares for an amount equal to Merger Consideration per share is a material term of this Agreement and this Agreement will be of no further effect if the merger is not consummated for any reason.
 
3

 
2.           Court Approval. Within one day of the execution of this agreement, the Receiver will file a motion in the Receivership Action that will include a request for immediate conditional approval and for final approval from the Court regarding the matters described in Section 4 below.  The Parties agree that obtaining said conditional approval and final approval is a material term of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.  The Receiver shall exercise his best efforts to obtain conditional approval as provided herein no later than two days after the filing of the motion seeking approval of this Agreement.  Final approval shall be subject to such orders the Court may issue and on a schedule to be determined by the Court.  The Parties agree to file such motions and briefs and to present such arguments and otherwise use their reasonable best efforts to take any and all such further actions as may be necessary or appropriate to support this Agreement and to obtain Court Approval.
 
3.           Cash Payment. Simultaneous with the closing of the INOC merger, INOC will pay to the Receiver the total sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Cash Payment”) for the benefit of the limited partners/investors of the IPOF Fund.  Neither INOC nor the Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability for the apportionment of the Cash Payment among the partners/investors of the IPOF Fund or any parties to the Receivership, Small or Amantea Actions, or to any person claiming any right to distribution thereof in the administration of the Receivership Estate.  The IPOF Fund and/or any person to whom all or any part of the Cash Payment shall be distributed shall be solely responsible for any tax consequences that may arise from acceptance of the Cash Payment or any portion thereof.
 
4.           Conditions. It is a condition to the effectiveness of Sections 1 through 3 and 5 through 7 of this Agreement, and a condition to the obligations of INOC and the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, that: (i) the Court grant conditional and final approval of this Agreement, (ii) the Court grant conditional and final approval of the sale of the shares of INOC stock owned by the IPOF Fund pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (iii) the Court order the dismissal with prejudice of the INOC Released Parties from the Receivership, Small and Amantea Actions and (iv) the Court issue the Bar Order in the form attached as Exhibit A.
 
4

 
5.           Voting Agreement. If requested by the Purchaser in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Receiver will enter into a mutually satisfactory voting agreement with the Purchaser, and will vote the shares held by the IPOF Fund in favor of the merger, subject to the terms and conditions of such voting agreement, which agreement shall be substantially identical to the voting provisions contained in the voting agreement entered into by Scott Dorfman pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Background:                          Employer is a third party provider of order processing, fulfillment and/or customer care services to e-commerce and other direct-to-consumer businesses (the “Business”).  Employer has entered into an agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which GSI Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, is expected to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Employer, which currently employs Executive.  Subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Employer desires to continue to employ Executive, and Executive desires to continue such employment, on the terms and conditions stated below (the “Agreement”).

INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, and in consideration of the mutual agreements stated below, Executive and Employer agree as follows:

1.     Employment and Term.   Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive accepts such employment, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a term beginning on the Closing and ending on December 31, 2011, unless sooner terminated in accordance with other provisions hereof (the “Term”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive’s employment with Employer is at will.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Employer may not terminate Executive without Cause (as defined in Section 4.3.1 below), and Executive may not terminate or resign other than for Executive Cause (as defined in Section 4.3.2), death or disability (as provided in Section 4.1 and 4.2), at any time before the first anniversary of the Closing.

2.     Position and Duties.
 
2.1.   Title and Responsibilities.  During the Term, Executive will serve as Executive in Transition of Employer.  In that capacity, Executive will have supervision over, and responsibility for, Employer’s account management function, consistent with the account management responsibilities Executive had in the one year period prior to the Closing and/or provide certain consulting services to Parent’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer regarding Employer’s account management function as may be reasonably requested by such individuals.

Executive will also have such other responsibilities and duties consistent with his position or positions with Employer, as may from time to time be reasonably prescribed by Employer’s Board of Directors or Parent’s Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors and as are generally consistent with the responsibilities Executive had in the one year period prior to the Closing.  Executive agrees to devote his full business time, attention and energies to the business and interests of the Employer during the Term and Executive will not accept any outside position without the prior written consent of the CEO or the Board.

2.3.   Reporting.  Executive will report to, and be subject to the direction of, the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Employer or any other senior officer of the Parent as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Parent.

2.5.   Location.  Executive will perform the services Executive is required to perform pursuant to this Agreement at the Employer’s office, located in Duluth, Georgia or such other location in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area to which Employer may move its principal location (the “Office”); provided, however, that (i) Executive may from time to time perform services from his homes located in Georgia and Alabama, and (ii) Employer may from time to time require Executive to travel to other locations in connection with the Employer’s business, consistent with Executive’s travel prior to the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer may require Executive to work from home.  Executive may also work remotely from locations outside the Office in a manner consistent with Executive’s past practices in the one year period prior to the Closing.

3.3.   Benefits.
 
(a)           Subject to Section 3.2, Executive will be eligible to participate in any profit sharing, savings, health insurance, life insurance, group insurance, disability insurance, and other benefit plans or programs of Employer now existing, or established hereafter, and generally offered to similarly situated employees of Employer, subject to the terms and provisions thereof.  Executive acknowledges that Executive’s participation in the employee benefit plans or programs of Employer are subject to the terms and conditions of such plan or programs and that Employer may change its plans or programs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not be entitled to any severance benefits in connection with the termination of his employment, except to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

(b)           Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy and the applicable life insurance companies, in the event that Employer owns any insurance policies insuring the life of Executive, Executive shall be and is hereby granted, on the date of Closing, an option to have the policies assigned to him, in which event Executive shall pay all premiums that first come due under such policies of insurance after the date of Closing and Employer shall sign all paperwork reasonably required to transfer ownership of the policies to Executive and allow changes of beneficiaries to persons or entities designated by Executive.

3.5.   Expenses.  Employer will reimburse Executive for all actual, ordinary, necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in the course of his performance of services hereunder.  Executive will properly account for all such expenses.  Such reimbursement payments shall be made promptly, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year following the year in which such expense was incurred.

Once such taxes are paid, Employer shall deliver or cause Parent or any transfer or escrow agent in actual or constructive possession of the Restricted Shares to deliver certificates for the Restricted Shares in accordance with the Equity Plan.

(b)    If, prior to December 31, 2011, (i) Executive is terminated by Employer for any reason other than Cause (as defined in Section 4.3.1), or (ii) Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1 (death) or Section 4.2 (disability) or Section 4.3.2 (Employer Breach), all Restricted Shares will vest immediately on such termination, provided that such termination constitutes a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will pay to Employer an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares on the date of vesting less any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes paid by Executive if after the Restricted Shares vest in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence the Executive commits a material breach of his obligations set forth in Sections 7 or 8 hereto.  If, prior to December 31, 2011, Employer terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or Executive resigns or terminates his employment for reasons other than Employer Breach, death or disability, all Restricted Shares will be forfeited to Parent without the payment of any consideration by Parent or Employer.  The Restricted Shares will otherwise be governed by the terms of the Equity Plan and RSA agreement.

(c)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that Section 83 of the Internal Review Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) taxes as ordinary income to him the fair market value of the Restricted Shares as of the date any restrictions on the shares lapse (that is, as of the date on which part or all of the shares vest), unless Executive timely files an election under Section 83(b).  Executive will be solely responsible for timely making an election under Section 83(b) in the event he chooses to do so.

(d)    Employer warrants to Executive that (i) Executive is qualified in all respects to receive the RSA and all Restricted Shares, subject to the vesting requirements as set forth in this Agreement and the Equity Plan; (ii) the issuance of the RSA and Restricted Shares to Executive has received all requisite approvals contemplated by the documents governing the Equity Plan and no further consents or approvals are required; (iii) the issuance of the RSA and Restricted Shares to Executive has been duly authorized and validly issued by Parent, and are fully paid and nonassessable, and (iv) upon vesting, and subject to the vesting requirements set forth in this Agreement and the Equity Plan, the Restricted Shares will be free of all encumbrances and restrictions, including restrictions on transfer.
 
4.    Termination.

4.1.   Termination by Death.  If Executive dies, then this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically, and Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits first earnable by Executive after the date of death  will terminate as of the date of death; provided, however, Executive’s heirs, personal representatives or estate will be entitled to receive any unpaid portion of Executive’s Base Salary and accrued benefits earned up to the date of termination and any benefits which are to be continued or paid after the date of termination in accordance with the terms of the corresponding benefit plans and programs in which Executive participates (the “Accrued Obligations”) and also the Restricted Shares.  In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this paragraph, any right that Executive’s estate may have to compensation and benefits under this Agreement will terminate, except that Executive’s estate will be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Obligations.

4.3.2         Executive may, at any time, upon written notice to Employer, terminate Executive’s employment, and Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits hereunder, for Employer Breach (as defined in this Section 4.3.2), and Executive will be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Obligations and the Restricted Shares.  “Employer Breach” will exist if there occurs a material failure by Employer to comply with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing events of Employer Breach will exist only if Executive provides to Employer’s Chief Executive Officer notice of the existence of the circumstances constituting Employer Breach within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of Employer Breach and Employer does not remedy such event constituting Employer Breach within thirty (30) days of the date of its receipt of such notice.

4.4.   Termination Without Cause.  At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing, Employer may, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Executive, terminate Executive’s employment, and Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits hereunder, for any reason or no reason, in which case Executive will be entitled to payment of the Accrued Obligations and the Restricted Shares.

4.5.   Resignation.  Executive may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Employer, resign or terminate Executive’s employment with Employer, for any reason Executive deems appropriate, in which case Executive will be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Obligations.

4.6.   Release.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not receive any of the payments set forth under Section 4, unless upon Executive’s termination of employment Executive furnishes Employer with an effective waiver and release of claims (the “Release) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (or such other form of Release as may be required by the Employer) within the time period set forth therein, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following termination of Executive’s employment.

4.7.   Application of Section 409A. Fringe benefits payable under the Agreement will be subject to the distribution requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, including, without limitation, the requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code that payment to the Executive be delayed until 6 months after separation from service if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the aforesaid section of the Code at the time of such separation from service.
 
6

 
4.8.   Parachute Payments.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from Employer pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (a Payment) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion of the Payment, up to and including the total Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless Executive elects in writing a different order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of the RSA; reduction of employee benefits.  If acceleration of vesting of the RSA compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the RSA.  Employer will appoint a nationally recognized and independent accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder.  Employer shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Employer and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by Employer or Executive) or such other time as requested by Employer or Executive.  If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it will furnish Employer and Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment.  Employer will be entitled to rely upon the accounting firm’s determinations, which will be final and binding on all persons.

5.     Procedure upon Termination.  Executive must promptly return to Employer all documents (including copies) and other materials and property belonging to Employer or Parent or any  of their affiliates, or pertaining to their businesses, including without limitation partner, customer and prospect lists, contracts, files, manuals, letters, reports and records in his possession or control, no matter from whom or in what manner acquired. In the event of a dispute between Executive and Employer, Executive and Employer each agree to exchange information and documents reasonably related to the dispute.

6.      Inventions.   Executive will reasonably communicate in a reasonable timeframe to Employer, in writing, all trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (collectively referred to as “Inventions”), whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, which are first made, conceived and reduced to practice by Executive, whether alone or jointly with others, at any time   during the period commencing after the Closing  and ending on the date of termination of Executive’s employment, and which relate to the business or operations of Employer or which relate to methods, designs, products or systems sold, leased, licensed or under development by Employer (such concepts, ideas and designs are referred to as “Employer Inventions”).  Executive acknowledges that Employer owns all right, title and interest in and to any and all Employer Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) created either before or after Closing and hereby assigns and agrees to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to Employer (or to such third party as Employer may direct) all of Executive’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Employer Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto).  Executive acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are first made by Executive (solely or jointly with others), within the scope of Executive’s employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).  Executive will, at Employer’s expense, sign all documents and take such other actions as Employer may reasonably request to confirm its ownership in Employer Inventions.  “Proprietary Rights” means all trade secret, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.

7.      Nondisclosure.  At all times after the Closing and during Executive’s employment with Employer and thereafter, except with the express prior written consent of an executive officer of Employer other than Executive or in connection with the proper performance of services under this Agreement, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, communicate, disclose or divulge to any Person, or use for the benefit of any Person, any Proprietary Information or any Third Party Information.  “Proprietary Information” means any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, no matter when or how acquired.  By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes (i) Inventions; (ii) the terms and details of contracts and arrangements with and proposals to any customers of Employer or its affiliates (“Customers”) and any prospective Customers or any entities for which Parent or its affiliates operate e-commerce businesses or provide marketing services (“Partners”) and any prospective Partners; (iii) personal, financial and other information obtained from customers of Customers or Partners (“Consumers”); (iv) non-public pricing information, vendor prices, buying and pricing strategies and merchandise plans, including the terms of contracts and arrangements with vendors; (v) promotional, marketing and advertising strategies and plans, including the terms of contracts and arrangements relating to promotions, marketing and advertising; (vi) non-public financial and statistical information relating to Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, or the Business operated by Employer and its affiliates or the business and the e-commerce businesses operated by Parent and its affiliates, including budgets, financial and business forecasts, expansion plans and business strategies; and (vii) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of Employer and Parent and their  affiliates.  For purposes of this Section 7, Proprietary Information will not include any information which is now known by or available to the general public or generally in the industry, which becomes known by or available to the general public or generally in the industry other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Executive or which is independently acquired by Executive.  “Person” means any individual, sole proprietorship, joint venture, partnership, corporation, association, cooperative, trust, estate, government body, administrative agency, regulatory authority or other entity of any nature.  “Third Party Information” means any and all confidential or proprietary data, knowledge and information received from third parties, including Customers and Partners, prospective Customers and Partners and Consumers, subject to a duty on the part of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such data, knowledge or information and to use it only for certain purposes.

8.      Non-Competition.   Executive acknowledges that the Business of Employer and its affiliates and the business of Parent and its affiliates are highly competitive, that he has Proprietary Information of Employer and its affiliates and Third Party Information of their Customers and Consumers and that as a result of Employer being acquired by Parent, Executive will receive and be privy to Proprietary Information of Parent and its affiliates and Third Party Information of their Partners and Consumers.  Executive further acknowledges that Employer and Parent and their affiliates are engaged in the provision of services to support the e-commerce and direct-to-consumer businesses of their Customers and Partners and that due to the nature of such businesses, the work performed by Executive for Employer may not be bound by any geographical or territorial limitations.  Accordingly, for one (1) year after the date of the termination of Executive’s employment with Employer (the “Restricted Period”) for any reason, except with Employer’s express prior written consent, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, for the benefit of any Person:
 
8

 
(a)    Communicate with or solicit any Person who, as of or during the one (1) year prior to the termination of Executive’s employment with Employer, was an employee, consultant, agent or representative of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, or who, during the Restricted Period, becomes an employee, consultant, agent or representative of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, (i) in any manner which interferes or is likely to interfere with such Person’s relationship with Employer or Parent or any such affiliate, or (ii) in an effort to obtain any such employee, as an employee, of any other Person or (iii) in an effort to obtain any such consultant, agent or representative as a consultant, agent or representative of any Person which conducts a business competitive with all or any material part of the Business of Employer or its affiliates in the United States or the business of the Parent and its affiliates in the United States;

(b)    Communicate with or solicit any Person who, as of or during the one (1) year prior  to the termination of Executive’s employment with Employer, was a Partner, Customer, client or prospect of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, or who, during the Restricted Period, becomes a Partner, Customer, client or prospect of Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates, in any manner which interferes or is likely  to interfere with such Person’s relationship with Employer or Parent or any such affiliate, or in an effort to obtain any such a Partner, Customer, client or prospect as a partner, customer, client or prospect of any other Person which conducts a business competitive with all or any material part of the Business of Employer in the United States, or its affiliates or the business of Parent and its affiliates in the United States; or

(c)    Establish, own, manage, operate or control, or participate in the establishment, ownership, management, operation or control of, or be a director, officer, employee, agent or representative of, or be a consultant to, any Person which conducts a business competitive with all or any material part of the (i) Business of Employer or its affiliates in the United States, or (ii) business of Parent or its affiliates in the United States which is substantially similar to the Business of the Employer, or which is not substantially similar to the Business of the Employer but in which Executive was involved during his employment with the Employer after the Closing Date.
 
9

 
9.     Consideration and Enforcement of Covenants.   Executive expressly acknowledges that the covenants contained in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement (“Covenants”) are a material part of the consideration bargained for by Employer and, without the agreement of Executive to be bound by the Covenants, Employer would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges that any breach by Executive of any of the Covenants may result in irreparable injury to Employer for which money damages may not adequately compensate.  If there is such a breach, Employer will be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies which Employer may have at law or in equity, to apply to any competent court in Georgia to have an injunction issued enjoining and restraining Executive and all other Persons involved therein from continuing such breach.  The existence of any claim or cause of action which Executive or any such other Person may have against Employer will not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the Covenants.  If Employer must resort to litigation to enforce any of the Covenants which has a fixed term, then such term will be extended for a period of time equal to the period during which a breach of such Covenant was occurring, beginning on the date of a final court order (without further right of appeal) holding that such a material breach occurred or, if later, the last day of the original fixed term of such Covenant. If any portion of any Covenant or its application is construed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the other portions and their application will not be affected thereby and will be enforceable without regard thereto.  If any of the Covenants is determined to be unenforceable because of its scope, duration, geographical area or similar factor, then the court making such determination will have the power to reduce or limit such scope, duration, area or other factor, and such Covenant will then be enforceable in its reduced or limited form.

10.    Survival of Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 3.5 and 3.6, Sections 5-22 of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Employment Term.  Additionally, payments and benefits owed to Executive under Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent provided for in Sections 3 and 4.

11.    Applicable Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (and  choice of laws rules) of the State of Georgia .  Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Fulton County, Georgia and the federal courts in the Northern District of Georgia in any and all actions between the parties arising hereunder and agrees to resolve all such disputes in such courts.

12.    Notices.   All notices, consents or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered personally, or (ii) one (1) business day after being sent by a nationally recognized express courier service designated for next business day delivery, postage or delivery charges prepaid, to the parties at their respective addresses stated on the first page of this Agreement.  Either party may change its address for notice and the address to which copies must be sent by giving notice of the new address to the other party in accordance with this Section 12, provided that any such change of address notice will not be effective unless and until received.  A copy of any notice sent to Executive shall be sent in the same manner of delivery to: David F. Cooper, Esq., Kitchens Kelley Gaynes, P.C., 11 Piedmont Center, Suite 900, 3495 Piedmont Road, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30305.
 
10

 
13.    Prior Agreements.  Executive represents to Employer (a) that there are no restrictions, agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Executive is a party which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this Agreement or his employment hereunder, (b) that Executive’s execution of this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder do not constitute a breach of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or written, to which Executive is a party or which Executive is bound, and (c) that Executive has full legal right and capacity to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by Employer.  All prior employment agreements, oral or written, between Executive and Employer that have not previously expired or terminated are hereby terminated as of the date hereof as fully performed on both sides; provided, Executive shall be entitled to receive after the Closing any unpaid consideration due Executive on account of agreements entered between Executive and Employer pre-Closing, including any amounts held in the Employer’s Rabbi Trust or bonus plan prior to Closing that the Executive is entitled to receive.

14.    Parties in Interest.   This Agreement is for the personal services of Executive and is not be assignable by Employer without the express prior written consent of the Executive.  Because of the unique and personal nature of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement is assignable by the Executive.  This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to confer any rights or remedies hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto, provided, however, that the Parent shall be a third party beneficiary entitled to receive the benefit of and enforce Sections 3.6, 5 through 9, 15 and 16 hereof as if such entities had been a party to this Agreement.

15.    Trade Secrets of Others.   It is the understanding of both the Employer and the Executive that the Executive will not divulge to the Employer or Parent or any of their affiliates any confidential information or trade secrets belonging to others.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Executive will not provide to the Employer or its affiliates any documents or copies of documents containing such information.

16.    Advertising Waiver.   The Executive agrees to permit the Employer and Parent and their affiliates, and Persons or other organizations authorized by the Employer or Parent or their affiliates, to use, publish and distribute advertising or sales promotional literature concerning the products and/or services of the Employer and Parent and their affiliates in which the Executive’s name and/or pictures of the Executive appear and are cast in a positive manner.  The Executive hereby waives and releases any claim or right the Executive may otherwise have arising out of such use, publication or distribution.

17.    Entire Understanding.   This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous, oral or written, express or implied, agreements and understandings.
 
11

 
18.    Amendment and Waiver.   This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing and signed by Executive, a duly authorized representative of Employer other than Executive and, prior to Closing, the written consent of Parent.  No waiver with respect to this Agreement will be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (which, in the case of the Employer, must be a duly authorized representative of Employer other than Executive).  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor will any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

19.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, all of which together shall contribute one and the same instrument.

20.    Severability.  The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction of the unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision of this Agreement shall not render any other provision of this Agreement unenforceable, invalid or illegal.  Such court shall have the discretion authority, if any, to modify or replace the invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable and reasonable term or provision.

21.    Section Headings, Interpretation, Construction.   Any headings preceding the text of any of the Sections or Subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, and will neither constitute a part of this Agreement nor affect its construction, meaning, or effect. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Employer, but the Executive has been encouraged to consult with, and has consulted with, the Executive’s own independent counsel and tax advisors with respect to the terms of this Agreement.  Each party acknowledges that it and its counsel has reviewed and revised, or had an opportunity to review and revise, this Agreement, and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
 
22.           Furniture and Memorabilia.  Notwithstanding Section 5, at any time after the Closing, Executive shall be permitted to remove (i) all of his personal property from Employer’s offices including all personal memorabilia and business memorabilia collected by Executive in connection with business transacted prior to the date of Closing, and (ii) his HP 2510 personal laptop computer and all office furniture located in the Executive’s office in Duluth, Georgia as of the Closing.  After termination of Executive’s employment with the Company the Company agrees at the cost and expense of Executive to transfer the Executive’s cell phone telephone number to Executive.  To the extent that there is data of Employer located on Executive’s  computer or other electronic device, Executive shall after the termination of his employment be entitled to retain his personal Microsoft Outlook list of contacts and Executive will work in good faith with Employer to transfer or from Executive’s computer Proprietary Information of Employer.

Exhibit C
 
GSI Commerce, Inc.
2005 Equity Incentive Plan
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
 
Pursuant to your Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), GSI Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a Restricted Stock Award under Section 7(b) of its 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to acquire the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in the Grant Notice (collectively, the “Award”).  Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.
 
 The Company agrees as follows with respect to the Award:
 
1.    Delivery of Shares of Common Stock.  Your acquisition of the shares of Company common stock that are the subject of the Award and referenced as “Restricted Share” in your Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company of even date herewith (the “Shares”) shall be consummated as follows:
 
(a)    Subject to vesting, you will become entitled to the Shares by delivering your Grant Notice, executed by you in the form attached hereto, to the Stock Plan Administrator of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours.
 
(b)    The Company shall direct the transfer agent for the Company to deliver to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 8 below the certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares to be acquired by you.  You acknowledge and agree that (i) until vesting occurs any such Shares shall be held in book entry form directly registered with the transfer agent or such other form and (ii) upon vesting, as the Company may reasonably determine.
 
2.    Consideration.  The Shares to be acquired by you on the “Date of Grant” indicated on your Grant Notice shall be deemed paid, in whole or in part, in consideration of your services to the Company pursuant to your Employment Agreement in the amounts and to the extent required by your Employment Agreement and applicable law and your entry into noncompetition covenants with the Company.
 
3.    Vesting.  Subject to the limitations contained herein and in the Plan, the Shares will be earned by you upon vesting as provided in your Grant Notice and Employment Agreement provided that vesting will cease after the termination of your Continuous Service in accordance with your Employment Agreement.  Shares acquired by you that have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule referenced or set forth in the Grant Notice and this Section 3 are “Vested Shares.”  Shares acquired by you pursuant to this Agreement that are not Vested Shares are “Unvested Shares.”
 
4.    Number of Shares.  The number of Shares subject to your Award as referenced in your Grant Notice shall be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments as set forth in the Plan.
 

 
5.    Conditions to Issuance and Delivery of Shares.  The Company will not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement (i) until all conditions to the Award as set forth in the Plan have been satisfied, waived or removed, (ii) if the outstanding Common Stock is at the time listed on any stock exchange or included for quotation on an inter-dealer system, until the Shares have been listed or included or authorized to be listed or included on such exchange or system upon official notice of notice of issuance.
 
6.    Right of Reacquisition.  The Company shall simultaneously with the termination of your Continuous Service automatically reacquire (the “Reacquisition Right”) for no consideration all of the Shares that are Unvested Shares on the day after the termination of your Continuous Service, unless the Company agrees to waive its Reacquisition Right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares.  Any such waiver shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent, as defined below) within ninety (90) days after the termination of your Continuous Service, and the Escrow Agent may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being reacquired by the Company.  If the Company does not waive its reacquisition right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your Continuous Service, the Escrow Agent shall transfer to the Company the number of Unvested Shares the Company is reacquiring.  The Reacquisition Right shall expire when all of the Shares have become Vested Shares in accordance with Section 3.
 
7.    Corporate Transaction.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the treatment of your Award will be governed by the provisions of Section 12(c) of the Plan, which may include the ability of the Company to assign the Reacquisition Right to its successor (or the successor’s parent company), if any, in connection with the transaction.  In addition, to the extent the Reacquisition Right remains in effect following such transaction, it shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the Common Stock in consummation of the transaction, but only to the extent the Common Stock was at the time covered by such right.
 
8.    Escrow of Unvested Common Stock.  As security for your performance of the terms of this Agreement and to insure the availability for prompt delivery of the Shares upon vesting or, if applicable, execution by Company of its Reacquisition Right provided in Section 6 above, you agree to the following “Joint Escrow” and “Joint Escrow Instructions,” and you and the Company hereby authorize and direct the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“Escrow Agent”) to hold the documents delivered to Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and of your Grant Notice and Employment Agreement, in accordance with the following Joint Escrow Instructions:
 
(a)    In the event your Continuous Service with the Company or an affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate”) terminates, the Company shall, pursuant to the Reacquisition Right in Section 6 above, automatically reacquire for no consideration all Unvested Shares, within the meaning of Section 3 above, as of the date of such termination, unless the Company elects to waive such right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares.  If the Company (or its assignee) elects to waive the Reacquisition Right, the Company or its assignee will give you and Escrow Agent a written notice specifying the number of Unvested Shares not to be reacquired. You and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Escrow Agent to close the transaction contemplated by such notice as soon as practicable following the date of termination of your Continuous Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your Employment Agreement.

GSI Commerce to Acquire Innotrac Corporation
 
Acquisition Increases GSI’s Client Base, Provides Expanded Infrastructure and Capacity and Enables GSI to Begin Regional Distribution Strategy for Its Clients in 2009

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., and ATLANTA, Oct. 6, 2008 – Leading e-commerce and multichannel solutions provider, GSI Commerce Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC), today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Innotrac Corporation (Nasdaq: INOC).

Innotrac is a leading provider of e-commerce fulfillment and customer care services. The company operates eight facilities, including seven primarily used for fulfillment and one primarily used for customer care. The fulfillment facilities are located in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Nevada and Ohio, and the customer care facility is located in Colorado. As of June 30, 2008 Innotrac had gross property and equipment of $49.9 million and net property and equipment of $17.0 million. The company serves more than 30 clients in the retail, telecommunications and direct marketing industries. Retail clients accounted for the largest percentage of the company’s revenue in 2007 and include leading brands in the apparel, beauty, home, jewelry, entertainment, technology, toys and general merchandise categories. The company’s clients include one of the 10 largest retailers in the United States.

For the trailing 12 months ending June 30, 2008 Innotrac recorded net revenues of $128.2 million, income from operations of $4.5 million and non-GAAP income from operations of $9.1 million. Non-GAAP income from operations equals income from operations plus $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expenses and $4.4 million of depreciation and amortization expenses. As previously announced by Innotrac, these results include contribution from a significant client in the telecommunications category whose fulfillment contract will expire in the middle of 2009 and is not expected to renew.

The addition of Innotrac will increase GSI’s client base and expand GSI’s North American infrastructure and capacity. Following the close of the acquisition, GSI will operate approximately 4.7 million square feet of fulfillment centers and 2,165 call center seats. GSI intends to utilize the company’s Reno, Nev. fulfillment center to begin offering regional fulfillment capabilities to its clients beginning in 2009.

“Innotrac furthers our leadership position in e-commerce and multichannel services by bringing new clients, enhancing our scale for fulfillment and call center services and adding to our available capacity to support growth of new and existing clients. By acquiring Innotrac we believe we will be better positioned to capture a greater share of our growing market opportunity. This acquisition works for us strategically and operationally and we would expect it to have a positive impact on our financial results in 2009,” said Michael G. Rubin, chairman and CEO of GSI. “We are also excited to begin our regional distribution strategy more than one year earlier than we had planned by utilizing Innotrac’s Reno, Nevada fulfillment center. Regional fulfillment will enable our clients to deliver packages to their customers more quickly while saving money on delivery costs. This is a key part of our strategic focus of enhancing the consumer shopping experience.”

GSI Commerce to Acquire Innotrac News Release

 
Innotrac provides outstanding e-commerce fulfillment and customer care services to some of the best retail and consumer brands in the world,” said Scott Dorfman, CEO of Innotrac. “Our extensive network of facilities and systems is fully integrated and is well suited to complement GSI’s existing fulfillment and customer care facilities. We are excited about the opportunities this transaction provides for our employees and clients and look forward to them benefitting from GSI’s leadership position in e-commerce and multichannel services.”

Under the definitive agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, GSI will acquire Innotrac for $52 million, consisting of cash of $22 million and shares of GSI common stock valued at $30 million, or 1,841,621 shares at $16.29 per share, the volume weighted average price over the 20 days prior to signing. As of June 30, 2008 Innotrac had net debt of $9.9 million, making the aggregate value of the transaction $61.9 million.

Innotrac shareholders are expected to receive approximately $4.03 per share for each share of Innotrac common stock, consisting of $1.70 in cash and 0.1426 of a share of GSI common stock. The number of shares to be received are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. If the volume weighted average price of GSI common stock during the 20 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of the Innotrac shareholders meeting to approve the merger is between $13.03 and $20.85, the number of shares of GSI common stock to be received per share of Innotrac common stock will range from 0.1784 of a share to 0.1115 of a share, and the total number of shares to be issued by GSI will range from 2,302,379 to 1,438,849. Above $20.85 and below $13.03, the number of shares will be fixed, subject to the right of either party to terminate the definitive agreement under certain circumstances if the price is below $11.12.

The acquisition is expected to close during the first half of 2009 and is subject to customary and other closing conditions, including the approval of Innotrac stockholders, certain third-party consents, and court approval by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio of a settlement agreement between Innotrac and the court-appointed receiver of the IPOF Fund, L.P., which holds approximately 35 percent of the outstanding shares of Innotrac. Innotrac’s chairman and CEO, who owns approximately 46 percent of the company’s issued and outstanding shares, has agreed to vote in favor of the transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this release, we use the non-GAAP financial measure non-GAAP income from operations. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial information. We have included a reconciliation of non-GAAP income from operations to the nearest GAAP measure, income from operations, in the body of this release.

In this release we use non-GAAP income from operations because GSI uses this metric for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate its performance. In our opinion, this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing the performance of GSI and the performance of Innotrac and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to historical performance as well as to the operating results of comparable companies. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors both because (1) it allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

Non-GAAP income from operations. We define non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses and acquisition-related integration expenses. We consider non-GAAP income from operations to be a useful metric for management and investors because it excludes certain non-cash and non-operating items. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when valuing equity awards under SFAS 123R, we believe that viewing income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our operating performance and those of other businesses. Because we are growing rapidly and operate in an emerging and rapidly changing industry, we believe that our level of capital expenditures and consequently the level of depreciation and amortization expense relative to our revenues could be meaningfully greater today than it will be over time. As a result, we believe it is useful supplemental information to view income from operations excluding depreciation and amortization expense as it provides a potential indicator of the future operating margin potential of the business. We believe the exclusion of acquisition-related integration expenses permits evaluation and a comparison of results for on-going business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the company's performance.
