Not Applicable

(Title of Class)

The undersigned hereby amends, as set forth below, the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 1998.

Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

On June 4, 2009, the stockholders of InfoSpace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“InfoSpace” or the “Company”), approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate,” and, together with the Amendment, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to reclassify its existing common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Old Common Stock”), into shares of new common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and impose restrictions on transfer of the Common Stock in certain circumstances. These restrictions on transfer prohibit certain future transfers of the Company’s capital stock, including the Common Stock, that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and certain income tax credits to reduce its federal income taxes. Pursuant to the Amendment, each share of the Company’s Old Common Stock was automatically reclassified into one share of Common Stock (the “Reclassification”).

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 900,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 900,000,000 shares of Old Common Stock, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The shares of the Common Stock are currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Except for the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Amendment and described below, the shares of Common Stock have the same rights and preferences as shares of Old Common Stock.

The following summary of certain provisions of the Company’s Common Stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Certificate and the Amendment, which documents are included as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and by the provisions of applicable law.

COMMON STOCK

The holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of the preferred stock of the Company. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock have no preemptive rights or rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.

As a result of the Reclassification, the Company’s shares of Common Stock are also subject to transfer restrictions such that holders of Common Stock are restricted from attempting to transfer (which includes any direct or indirect acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or other disposition) any of the share of Common Stock (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire the Company’s stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock), to the extent

that transfer would (i) create or result in an individual or entity becoming a 5-percent shareholder of the Company’s stock for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the related Treasury Regulations (which are referred to as a “Five Percent Shareholder”) or (ii) increase the stock ownership percentage of any existing Five Percent Shareholder.

Transfers that violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be effective to transfer any record, legal, beneficial or any other ownership of the number of shares which result in the violation of the Certificate of Incorporation (which shares are referred to as “Excess Securities”). The purported transferee shall not be entitled to any rights as a Company stockholder with respect to the Excess Securities. Instead, the purported transferee would be required, upon demand by the Company, to transfer the Excess Securities to an agent designated by the Company for the limited purpose of consummating an orderly arm’s-length sale of such shares. The net proceeds of the sale will be distributed first to reimburse the agent for any costs associated with the sale, second to the purported transferee to the extent of the price it paid, and finally any additional amount will go to the purported transferor, or, if the purported transferor cannot be readily identified, to a charity designated by the Board of Directors.

All shares of the Common Stock that have been issued in exchange for shares of the Old Common Stock in the Reclassification are fully paid and nonassessable.

The Reclassification has an “anti-takeover” effect because, among other things, the Common Stock issued in exchange for the Old Common Stock restricts the ability of a person, entity or group to accumulate more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock and the ability of persons, entities or groups now owning more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock from acquiring additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock without the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

OTHER ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS UNDER THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND RESTATED BYLAWS

Supermajority Vote Required to Approve a Change of Control. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any “Business Combination” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) that has not been approved by at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors will require the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. Any Business Combination that has been approved by at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Company; provided, however, that if a Business Combination approved by at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors is not otherwise required by law to be approved by the Company’s stockholders, then no vote of stockholders would be required. This supermajority voting requirement to approve Business Combinations that have not been approved by at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors, which would include mergers and share exchanges, could discourage a potential acquiror that would seek to acquire the Company through such means.

Preferred Stock Rights Agreement. On July 19, 2002, in accordance with the terms of a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC, as Rights Agent, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right

(a “Right”) to purchase one one-thousandth share of the Company’s Series C Participating Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock. Unless earlier redeemed by the Company in accordance with the Rights Agreement, the Rights will become exercisable upon the earlier of (a) the tenth day (or such later date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) after a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, and (b) the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) after a person or group announces a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of the Company’s then outstanding Common Shares. The earlier of such dates is referred to as the “Distribution Date.”

The Rights approved by the Board of Directors are designed to protect and maximize the value of the outstanding equity interests in the Company in the event of an unsolicited attempt by an acquirer to take over the Company in a manner or on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. The Rights are not intended to prevent a takeover of the Company and will not do so. Subject to the restrictions described above, the Rights may be redeemed by the Company at $0.001 per Right at any time prior to the Distribution Date. Accordingly, the Rights should not interfere with any merger or business combination approved by the Board of Directors.

However, the Rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of the Company deemed undesirable by the Board of Directors. The Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company on terms or in a manner not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon the negation, purchase or redemption of the Rights.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors has the ability to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company.

Classified Board of Directors. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for the division of the Company’s Board of Directors into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the directors in each class serving for a three-year term, and one class being elected each year by the Company’s stockholders. Directors may be removed only for cause. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company and may maintain the incumbency of the Board of Directors, as it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of directors.

Limitations on the Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent or Call a Special Meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company’s stockholders may not act by written consent unless the matter has been properly brought before the stockholders by or at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. This limit on the ability of the stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of the Company’s capital stock would not be able to amend the Certificate of Incorporation or the Restated Bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Restated Bylaws.

Stockholder Meetings. Under the Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws, the stockholders of the Company may call a special meeting only upon the request of holders of at least 30% of the outstanding shares. Additionally, the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the President may call special meetings of stockholders.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. The Restated Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors. However, the Restated Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

No Cumulative Voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the certificate of incorporation of the company provides otherwise. The Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws provide that cumulative voting shall not exist with respect to the shares of the Company’s capital stock.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The amendment of certain of the above provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation regarding the transfer restrictions requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Anti-Takeover Statutes. The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which regulates corporate acquisitions of public held companies. This law provides that specified persons who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly held Delaware corporation, or an interested stockholder, may not engage in business combinations with the corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in advance of the a manner prescribed by Delaware law. The law defines the term “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which the interested stockholder receives or could receive a financial benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. This provision has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

The laws of the Washington, where the Company’s principal executive offices are located, impose restrictions on certain transactions between certain foreign corporations and significant stockholders. Chapter 23B.19 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the “WBCA”) prohibits a “Target Corporation,” with certain exceptions, from engaging in certain “Significant Business Transactions” with a person or group of persons which beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting securities of the Target Corporation (an “Acquiring Person”) for a period of five years after such acquisition,

unless the transaction or acquisition of shares is approved by a majority of the members of the Target Corporation’s board of directors prior to the time of acquisition. Such prohibited transactions include, among other things, a merger or consolidation with, disposition of assets to, or issuance or redemption of stock to or from, the Acquiring Person, termination of 5% or more of the employees of the Target Corporation as a result of the Acquiring Person’s acquisition of 10% or more of the shares or allowing the Acquiring Person to receive any disproportionate benefit as a stockholder. After the five-year period, a Significant Business Transaction may take place as long as it complies with certain fair price provisions of the statute or is approved at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. A Target Corporation includes a foreign corporation if (i) the corporation has a class of voting stock registered pursuant to Section 12 or 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the corporation’s principal executive office is located in Washington, (iii) any of (a) more than 10% of the corporation’s stockholders of record are Washington residents, (b) more than 10% of its shares of record are owned by Washington residents or (c) 1,000 or more of its stockholders of record are Washington residents, (iv) a majority of the corporation’s employees are Washington residents or more than 1,000 Washington residents are employees of the corporation and (v) a majority of the corporation’s tangible assets are located in Washington or the corporation has more than $50 million of tangible assets located in Washington. A corporation may not “opt out” of this statute. If the Company meets the definition of a Target Corporation, Chapter 23B.19 of the WBCA may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company.

The Reclassification of the shares of Old Common Stock into shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to occur at the Effective Time, regardless of when any certificate previously representing such shares of Old Common Stock (if such shares are held in certificated form) are physically surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for certificates representing shares of such Common Stock. Each certificate outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time representing shares of Old Common Stock shall, until surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a certificate representing such new number of shares of Common Stock, automatically represent from and after the Effective Time the reclassified number of shares of Common Stock.

4.3. Transfer Restrictions.

As used in this Section 4.3:

“Acquire” or “Acquisition” and similar terms means the acquisition of record, legal, beneficial or any other ownership of Corporation Securities by any means, including, without limitation, (a) the exercise of any rights under any option, warrant, convertible security, pledge or other security interest or similar right to acquire shares, or (b) the entering into of any swap, hedge or other arrangement that results in the acquisition of any of the economic consequences of ownership of Corporation Securities, but shall not include the acquisition of any such rights unless, as a result, the acquirer would be considered an owner.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banks located in Bellevue, Washington, are authorized or required by law to close.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

“Corporation Securities” means (a) shares of Common Stock, (b) shares of Preferred Stock of any class or series of Preferred Stock, (c) warrants, rights or options (including within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(h)(4)(v)) to purchase stock of the Corporation, and (d) any other interests that would be treated as “stock” of the Corporation pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(f)(18).

“Effective Date” means the date of filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation first containing this provision.

“Entity” means an entity within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-3(a)(1).

“Five Percent Shareholder” means a Person or group of Persons that is identified as a “5-percent shareholder” of the Corporation Securities pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(g)(1), but excluding any “direct public group” with respect to the Corporation, as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(j)(2)(ii). For the purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of Corporation Securities owned by, any Five Percent Shareholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely conclusively on (a) the existence and absence of filings of Schedules 13D or 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or any similar schedules) as of any date, and (b) its actual knowledge of the ownership of the Corporation Securities.

“Percentage Stock Ownership” and similar terms means percentage stock ownership as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(g), (h), (j) and (k).

“Person” means an individual, corporation, estate, trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or similar organization, and also includes a syndicate or group as those terms are used for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Prohibited Transfer” means any purported Transfer of Corporation Securities to the extent that such a Transfer is prohibited and/or void under this Article 4.

“Restriction Release Date” means such date, after the Effective Date, that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders for the transfer restrictions set forth in this Article 4 to terminate.

“Restricted Holder” means a Person or group of Persons that (a)is a Five Percent Shareholder and Acquires or proposes to Acquire Corporation Securities, or (b) is proposing to Acquire Corporation Securities, and following such proposed Acquisition of Corporation Securities, would be a Five Percent Shareholder.

“Tax Benefits” means the net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, general business credit carryovers, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers and foreign tax credit carryovers, as well as any “net unrealized built-in loss” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof.

“Transfer” means any direct or indirect Acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or other disposition of Corporation Securities in any manner whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, or any attempt to do any of the foregoing. A Transfer shall also include the creation or grant of an option (including within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(h)(4)(v)). A Transfer shall not include an issuance or grant of Corporation Securities by the Corporation.

“Treasury Regulation” means a Treasury Regulation promulgated under the Code.

Section 4.3.2. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) From and after the Effective Date and prior to the Restriction Release Date, no Transfer shall be permitted, and any such purported Transfer shall be void ab initio, to the extent that after giving effect to such purported Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part), either (i) any Person or group of Persons shall become a Five Percent Shareholder, or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the Corporation of any Five Percent Shareholder shall be increased. The prior sentence is not intended to prevent the Corporation Securities from being DTC-eligible and shall not preclude the settlement of any transactions in the Corporation Securities entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, provided, that if the settlement of the transaction would result in a Prohibited Transfer, such Transfer shall nonetheless be a Prohibited Transfer.

(b) The restrictions contained in this Article 4 are for the purposes of reducing the risk that any “ownership change” of the Corporation Securities (as defined in the Code) may limit the Corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits. In connection therewith, and to provide for effective policing of these provisions, a Restricted Holder who proposes to Acquire Corporation Securities shall, prior to the date of the proposed Acquisition, request in writing (a “Request”) that the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a committee thereof that has been appointed by the Board of Directors) review the proposed Acquisition and authorize or not authorize the proposed Acquisition in accordance with this Section 4.3.2(b) of Article 4. A Request shall be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal place of business, or telecopied to the Corporation’s telecopier number at its principal place of business. Such Request shall be deemed to have been received by the Corporation when actually received by the Corporation. A Request shall include (i) the name, address and telephone number of the Restricted Holder, (ii) a description of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire, (iii) the date on which the proposed Acquisition is expected to take place (or, if the Acquisition is proposed to be made by a Five Percent Shareholder in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), (iv) the name of the proposed transferor of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire (or, if the Acquisition is proposed to be made by a Five Percent Shareholder in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), and (v) a request that the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof that has been appointed by the Board of Directors) authorize, if appropriate, the Acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.3.2(b) of Article 4. The Board of Directors may authorize an Acquisition by a Restricted Holder, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that, after taking into account the preservation of the Tax Benefits, such Acquisition would be in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. Any determination by the Board of Directors not to authorize a proposed Acquisition by a Restricted Holder shall cause such proposed Acquisition to be deemed a Prohibited Transfer. The Board of

Directors may, in its sole discretion, impose any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection with authorizing any such Acquisition by a Restricted Holder. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, require such representations from the Restricted Holder or such opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by the Board of Directors, in each case as to such matters as the Board of Directors may determine. Any Restricted Holder who makes a Request to the Board of Directors shall reimburse the Corporation, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation with respect to any proposed Acquisition of Corporation Securities, including, without limitation, the Corporation’s costs and expenses incurred in determining whether to authorize the proposed Acquisition, which costs may include, but are not limited to, any expenses of counsel and/or tax advisors engaged by the Board of Directors to advise the Board of Directors or deliver an opinion thereto.

Section 4.3.3. Treatment of Excess Securities.

(a) No employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities which are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Excess Securities”). The Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, such Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities.

(b) If the Board of Directors determines that a Prohibited Transfer has been recorded by an agent or employee of the Corporation notwithstanding the prohibition in Section 4.3.3(a) of this Article 4, such recording and the Prohibited Transfer shall be void ab initio and have no legal effect and, upon written demand by the Corporation, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any dividends or other distributions that were received by the Purported Transferee from the Corporation with respect to the Excess Securities (the “Prohibited Distributions”), to an agent designated by the Board of Directors (the “Agent”). In the event of an attempted Prohibited Transfer involving the purchase or Acquisition of Corporation Securities in violation of this Article 4 by a Restricted Holder, the Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation or the purported transferor, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange or national securities quotation system on which the Corporation Securities may be traded); provided, however, that the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities, would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities or would be in violation of applicable securities laws. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s demand to surrender the

Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 4.3.3(c) of this Article 4 if the Agent, rather than the Purported Transferee, had resold the Excess Securities.

(c) The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee had previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, as follows: (i) first, to reimburse itself to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in accordance with its duties hereunder; (ii) second, to reimburse the Purported Transferee for the amounts paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or in the case of any Prohibited Transfer by gift, devise or inheritance or any other Prohibited Transfer without consideration, the fair market value, calculated on the basis of the closing market price for the Corporation Securities on the day before the Prohibited Transfer), and (iii) third, the remainder, if any, to the original transferor, or, if the original transferor cannot be readily identified, to an entity designated by the Corporation’s Board of Directors that is described in Section 501(c) of the Code, contributions to which must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code. The recourse of any Purported Transferee with respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.3.3.(c) of this Article 4. Except as may be required by law, in no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Article 4 inure to the benefit of the Corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover expenses incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder.

(d) If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation makes a demand pursuant to Section (3)(b) of this Article 4, then the Corporation may take such actions as it deems necessary to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel such surrender.

(e) If any Person shall knowingly violate, or knowingly cause any other Person under control of such Person (a “Controlled Person”) to violate this Article 4, then that Person and any Controlled Person shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall pay to the Corporation, such amount as will, after taking account of all taxes imposed with respect to the receipt or accrual of such amount and all costs incurred by the Corporation as a result of such violation, put the Corporation in the same financial position as it would have been in had such violation not occurred.

Section 4.3.4. Amendment of Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation may only amend or repeal any of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote thereon.

Section 4.3.5. Legends; Compliance

(a) All certificates reflecting Corporation Securities on or after the Effective Date shall, until the Restriction Release Date, bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

THE TRANSFER OF SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FOUR OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF INFOSPACE, INC., AS AMENDED AND IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CORPORATION UPON REQUEST.

(b) The Corporation shall have the power to make appropriate notations upon its stock transfer records and to instruct any transfer agent, registrar, securities intermediary or depository with respect to the requirements of this Article 4 for any uncertificated Corporation Securities or Corporation Securities held in an indirect holding system.

(c) Nothing contained in this Article 4 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to preserve the Corporation’s Tax Benefits. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for determining compliance with this Article 4, including, without limitation, determining (i) the identification of Five Percent Shareholders and Restricted Holders, (ii) whether a Transfer or proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any Five Percent Shareholders and Restricted Holders, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee, (vi) the interpretation of the provisions of this Article 4, and (vii) any other matters which the Board of Directors deems relevant. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article 4, including any definition used herein, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event that this Article 4 requires an action by the Board of Directors but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Article 4. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties to a Transfer; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Article 4 to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems advisable or necessary.

(d) Nothing contained in this Article 4 shall be construed to give any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Article 4. This Article 4 shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.

(e) If any provision of this Article 4 or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Article 4.

ARTICLE 5. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board shall be composed of not less than 5 nor more than 9 Directors, the specific number to be set by resolution of the Board, provided that the Board may be less than 5 until vacancies are filled. No decrease in the number of Directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.

Prior to the 1999 annual election of Directors, unless a Director earlier dies, resigns or is removed, his or her term of office shall expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders. At the 1999 annual election of Directors, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, with said classes to be as equal in number as may be possible. At the first election of Directors to such classified Board of Directors, each Class I Director shall be elected to serve until the next ensuing annual meeting of stockholders, each Class 2 Director shall be elected to serve until the second ensuing annual meeting of stockholders and each Class 3 Director shall be elected to serve until the third ensuing annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the meeting at which the Board of Directors is initially classified, the number of Directors equal to the number of Directors in the class whose term expires at the time of such meeting shall be elected to serve until the third ensuing annual meeting of stockholders. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.2, Directors shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal from office or until there is a decrease in the number of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders of the corporation or residents of the State of Delaware and need not meet any other qualifications.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, the Board of Directors may not repeal or amend any bylaw that the stockholders have expressly provided may not be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors. The stockholders shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation.

ARTICLE 7. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Preemptive rights shall not exist with respect to shares of stock or securities convertible into shares of stock of the corporation.

ARTICLE 8. CUMULATIVE VOTING

ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENTS TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, any of the provisions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation. The rights of the stockholders of the corporation are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE 10. LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY

To the full extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law, as it exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, a director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any amendment to or repeal of this Article 10 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

ARTICLE 11. ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING

Only action properly brought before the stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to be voted with respect to the subject matter thereof having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
